Letter from the Producer LIVE LXVIII: Ask Your Endwalker Questions!

[Jaywalker]

Were the Ancients who ultimately became sundered also tempered to Zodiark when Venat split the world?

[Jaywalker]

We know that the Final Days has been referred to in places as accompanied by a terrible sound. Meteion's song of oblivion we know has a huge impact, but also that a cry from beneath the earth was heard. Which of these is meant to be the sound that was referenced, and are we going to learn more about the cry beneath the earth?

[KitJoestar]

Will there be new Limited Jobs in the New World? Something like Necromancer, Beastmaster or Chemist?

[Kiozune]

We've recently seen hairstyles for females that are tied up in the form of pony-tails / side pony tails but is there any possibilities that you guys would release more long hair hairstyles regardless of clipping?

[Iscah]

Can we please get some definitive explanation of how the timeline is mapped out with the introduction of the large time loop via Elpis?

There is a lot of confusion, particularly with people thinking there must need to be some alternate version of how events in Elpis can play out in "the other timeline", despite (to my understanding at least) the Eighth Calamity timeline only branching off from ours far more recently due to the events of Shadowbringers.

There is also a big split between people seeing it as a stable causal loop and people thinking there must have been some pre-existing "original version" of events that we overwrote by visiting Elpis.

If you want these events to be clear and not to leave us to debate this amongst ourselves for the rest of the life of the game, you probably need to give an official explanation of how it is supposed to be understood.

Maybe in Encyclopaedia Eorzea III (please?) if you don't want to go into it in the live letter.

[KitJoestar]

Will we ever find out about the Heart of Sabik? I don't believe if it was ever covered and if it was please ignore this lol.
I had theories but those aren't answers.

[Jaywalker]

There is some ongoing confusion among fans about how mature Elidibus is meant to be understood as, both before the Sundering and after. Was he an adult (if a young one) when he was inducted into the convocation, or a child?

[Paopufruit]

Are there any plans to add Graha Tia's Attire as a glamour? Maybe also Meteon's attire?

[KitJoestar]

With the release of Female Hrothgar will that allow for Hrothgar and Viera to be allowed to wear hats? It is a little silly how Miqo'te can wear hats but not Viera and Hrothgar. Also how could you have back to back events in which two races can't wear the rewards! Not mad just sad

Many long term players would love to relive the standard JRPG life again, the freedom of doing quests at will, adventuring, travelling without any ticking clock or world calamity hanging in balance. In the game, we had this until level 15 quest when we become the envoy. After that everything becomes severe.

I am guessing that YoshiP too wants us to relive as adventurers, no more the hero or Warrior of Light... too much to bear for too long. So this would be a much appreciated and anticipated break.

But while we do this, can we expect the next big city be something extremely magical?

I'd very much love to go to a city where everything is hyper magical with zero technology in use. Even Eorzeans have techs but imagine a whole mystical city that is above logic and reasoning, the architecture looks like it's fresh out of a dream. Maybe an entire city that is floating with all walking grounds being semi transparent or transparent roads that glows but is supposed to signify that we are literally walking on air? Kind of like harry potter type fantasy, or Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where we go into a city and it is just so magical and so mystical, that the people there will scoff at us for being savage for relying in technology even to the amount we do. A place where children will be running around in the air, upside down, someone coming at evening to light up the city with these magical will o the wisps, a mender who is just juggling floating tools, magical beings every where?


I think it would be absolutely amazing to have a city that is overdosed with fantasy elements with zero tech completely. Could we have it?
