Ask Naoki Yoshida Your Questions for the PAX East 2023 Panel

[AustarusIV]

Hi, Mr. Yoshida!

Are there any plans to expand Free Company recruitment across worlds within a Data Center, now that players can freely move across worlds through the world visit system? And for that matter, would it be possible to do this as well with those living in different data centers (like for example, a Free Company consisting of players from Aether, Primal, Crystal, and Dynamis)?

As content from previous expansions sees less and less activity, has there been any thought to changing requirements for certain types of activities that now, or will eventually, have low activity?

As an example, for the Shadowbringers relic weapons there is a step where you need to run DR or PotD for timeworns but since EW released the only way to run DR now is via the party finder and sometimes that doesn't even fill. Eventually, as more expansions release, I'm assuming this issue would only worsen.

As a HUGE fan of Blue Mage and of tanks, I have to ask: what are your thoughts about a non-limited tank job that's caster based? I think DRK, PLD, and even BLU tank proves it can work and I would love to see more jobs that you may not expect like this or even a caster melee job (blade singer kind of job?)

Hi,

My pertains to the reworks of both Astrologian and Dragoon. Will we get any additional information of where you are in the reworks and maybe some detailed information of where you are taken these jobs for 7.0? Before the expansion drops.

Also will there be public beta testing for the changes so we can give feedback?

Thank you,

Hiya, Pimsan here!

My question is will we get more crossover event form different series? My hope that we might get a Symphogear crossover since next to FF XIV, the anime helped me going though the pandemic 3 years ago, if you have other ideas for a crossover event, please let us know.

Have a good day, Pimsan.

Are there any plans moving forward for more stories with the first brood? I’d love to see a sort of family reunion and to see tiamat again

[PrinceKido]

Will we ever get a chance to explore more of Gelmorra one day? I’d love to know more about it and to see more of the duskwight elezens

[Neoyoshi]

Yoshi-p, Will you be playing Resident Evil 4 Remake (March 23rd) while taking questions about BLU Mage(March 23rd)at PAX EAST? And will there ever be a (March 23rd) Resident Evil 4 Remake x Final Fantasy XIV (March 23rd) crossover?

Are you friendly with the people over at Cap(March 23rd)com?

[Deceptus]

Healers are consistently in short supply and high demand in almost all content, in higher end content they the the first role dropped in favor of an extra DPS. Many players feel that this is due to their poor job design and job balance.

Moving forward, will you commit to hiring a developer to specifically work on healers and healers alone to make them better designed.
