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

[mbncd]

Will there be crafting and gathering quests that somehow improve the local services and facilities of an area? Such as stocking a store or repairing an Aetherite?

[Soukyuu]

Will there be a Collectors Edition available to purchase for FFXIV ARR?

And will there be any special way for old CE holders to get it (e.g. discount on the full physical copy/only the digital part of collection available for download)?

[mbncd]

Will there be more of an emphasis of content on the way to cap rather than the current "race to cap" mentality? I'm concerned that the vast majority of content will be condensed to the last 5 levels as opposed to over all 50 levels.

[Enma]

How will Notorious Monsters be handled in A Realm Reborn? Roaming NMs will be removed in favor of F.A.T.E. ?

[Heavell]

I'm curious about snow or rain weather effect.
Will the snow covered trees and waterfall around Black Shroud area have a visual frozen display or just have another snow effect like in previous version?

[Freya_Whiskerson]

Can you please give us some information on how fishing will work in ARR?

[Freya_Whiskerson]

Will ARR be playable on the PS4?
This will have a great impact on player-base if the PS4 is released in the next year, due to people trading in their PS3s to buy a new console.

Will the issue of "gear used in lower levels often being skipped over until cap necessitates upgrades" be addressed? Such as an exponential increase in enemy strength requiring players to keep their gear up to date? Otherwise, most lower level gear will never be used because it won't be worth it, levelling past that level range too quickly and unable to sell the gear on to put the funds towards what is needed for the next upgrade.

[Picoman]

Can you tell us the exact number of the new size of Linkshells and how a community larger than 100 should go about setting up a Free Company?

[Lasada]

do you have any plans on how to correct the economic instability created by the carry over? and are any servers which will be 100% fresh starts with no carry over allowed for new players to feel confident starting on?
