We have already seen the renovations to the basics of crafting and gathering functionality. What new gameplay aspects can we expect to see (similar to hamlet defense) for DoH's and DoL's to make them more relevant? (Examples: creating various aspects of player housing, building airships, high-level blacksmith gives bonuses to GLA/PLD's sword damage due to more knowledge of the weapon, FATE(?) events that involve repairing damage to a camp after a beastmen attack, etc.)

A while back, we saw concept art for job-related gear for chocobos. Will goobbues and other possible future mounts be able to use the same job-related gear that chocobos can, or at least have some unique form of their own barding? Also, will they be able to fight alongside us as well? I would personally love to see my goobbue decked out in plate armor tanking mobs for me!

If you have the 1.0 CE and you make a new character in ARR will you recieve the bonus items on that character aswell?
Or will they be stuck on my old character?

[Raizen_Reyne]

Could you explain a little about how gear will be classified? Based on rarity such as a color index type system - (Purple, Blue, Green etc..) and how will these items drop from endgame bosses - (how many rares drop per boss, drop %, do tokens drop?)

[Destain]

When will we be able to see some Arcanist and or Summoner gameplay footage?

At what stage of completion are shaders for the new engine?

Hi,

I will be moving from place to place over the next few years. Currently people were having their accounts suspended very easily for different IPs. How does you plan to handle people who access the game from different IPs in the future?

Can we get clear information about this NPC that will hold your extra items if you were over the the 150 inventory slot cap.

[Odindark]

Will be there some way to communicate between PS3 and PC in the future using a voice chat system supported by Square Enix?
