Ask Naoki Yoshida Your Questions for the PAX East 2023 Panel

[Vesplume]

As part of updating ARR content to be more in line with current gameplay standards, certain duties were removed and/or adjusted in a way that made more sense within the overall narrative. Are there still changes of that nature you'd like to make in the later expansions?

[Vesplume]

One of the great things about this dev team is that it's clear they play and enjoy the game like the players do.

Do you have a favorite memory of this game from a gameplay (not development) perspective?

With the release of the new Loporrit tribal questline, is there any chance that we may see Loporrit vendor permits being released similar to the Namazu?

[Jirah]

why has content gotten significantly easier, pretty plain to see less mechanics in 24 man, less vital mobs in dungeons and the WoE (window of execution) has been increased if not doubled in most non-savage instances. Backwards to see dungeons in 50s and 70s outshine endgame ones EW having the worst crop of endgame dungeons to date

1. Will Crafted Weapon designs for newer classes (Sage and Reaper) ever be released for older content (i.e. The Warring Triad, The Four Lords, Titania etc.)?

2. Are there any plans to adjust certain furniture/panels to make them easier to use in tandem with others? (One of the main cumbersome ones is using wall panels in order to place furniture on wooden lofts which, by right should be able to accept normal furniture such as Beds, lamps, chairs etc.)

3. Any word on female Hrothgar on how far or soon they'll be expected to release? (This is a personal question since I'm curious as to what design choice you all have in mind, though I REALLY, and I think alot of others would agree, that you all hopefully keep the animalstic design of their male counterparts)

P:S If I may be so bold, when I say keeping their bestial designs as their male counterparts, I (or also we as the Community) expect of course for them to have female frames, but more so of the female Roegadyn. Here are some links which, I hope, you may find inspirational from design choices of the FFXIV Community.

So I just re-read the conditions of this thread and saw it's only supposed to be one question per post. As such, Questions 1 & 2 can be ignored and Question 3 can be the main focus. If by any chance Questions 1 & 2 can be answered afterwards that would also be appreciated.

All-in-all looking forward to the PAX session.

Its been 10 years, any hopes for support the latinamerican players, we always get excluded for events, merchandasing, regional pricing?

[Nines]

Will Viera EVER be able to wear head pieces?

Housing item size scaling

Is there any possibility of bringing size-scaling to housing items in the future?
I imagine it wouldn't be possible for walls, paintings, fish-tanks or chairs (which need to be big enough to seat the largest of Hrothgar rumps).
But for rugs, tables, furnishings, wall-hangings etc, being able to scale them to be larger or smaller to fit the spot would be a welcome addition for creative home decoration.

Thanks! <3
