Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part V!

[Duuude007]

You said months ago that behest would be completely redesigned, to the point that it might even be renamed. Could you give us some new detailed information about this change?

[MuCephei]

Has the Lalafell running animation been changed?

[Zezlar]

Will the focus of bossing continue to be on dynamic elements? ex.) Garuda's Cyclones, Ifrit's Plumes, Van Darnus's Meteors.

Please don't go back to tank and spank. It will make me sad Hyur.

[Molic]

This might be something for a bit down the road, but after a lot of the fan service is over, will we be seeing unique never before seen summons/jobs/monsters/bosses(e.g Van darnus)/abilities/magic/etc. Just something unique only to FFXIV 2.0 and maybe its content/lore. I'm all for bring back old classics and everything, but would like to see some new creative stuff.

[Doki]

The the magitek armor, mandragoras, primals and other aspects from other FF games are there other characters, or game elements you have plans for integrating into XIV in the near future?

[MizoreShirayuki]

Since there is an NPC based off of Yoshi-P, can we have one based off Soken? Like a BRD that sings songs about knee socks Or an NM Hyur, whom upon defeating drops a pair of knee socks

[Duuude007]

Are you planning to implement secret areas in dungeons? i.e run against a specific wall, find out it was a mirage, explore a new previously unmapped area. Alternatively, can be accessed by secret sequence of switches, or even doh/dol actions.

[Sandrock]

During the Alpha version, a lot of people were concerned about the global cooldown on weaponskills being 3 seconds. Are there any plans to reduce this to a more resonable level, or to remove it entirely?

[Sandrock]

Can you share anything at all about any new jobs you are currently working on? Please~? Something as simple as a piece of early concept art would make me happy. Come on Yoshi-P! This letter airs on my birthday, and I'd love a little present from the dev team!

[Nidget]

Will we be able to have the lottery NMs, timed NMs, etc. like we had in XI that I spent years total camping? If there are NMs that we work to get to..... will we be able to make a living off of those drops without the R/EX restrictions? Those are some of my fondest memories from XI and I would just LOVE it to be able to have something like that.
