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

[AkiRouscelia]

Can you show us a little example of what we can expect by the "Super High" graphics settings? I understand you are still working on them but I'm very curious to see what kind of difference it'll be.

How will the stroylines between new players and legacy players vary?

[Curjos]

It has been mentioned in the past that it will be possible for us to change our races, genders etc.. Will this be explained as part of the story?

[Curjos]

Will there be an option to reset the levels for some of our classes? I would like to get to fully experience everything ARR has to offer without having to start a new character, which includes the levelling quests.

[Curjos]

Prior to ARR, we had the option of choosing what city-state we were affiliated to. Now, it seems that this is going to be dictated by which class you start as. Will there be city-state specific storylines, and if so will new characters have the option to select one regardless of what class they choose to play? Will this be explored through Grand Companies? How will this effect Legacy characters?

It's been stated that we'll choose the city-state we want to affiliate with by joining the relative Grand Company. The starting city is just, as the name says, the starting city.

No, if you choose MRD you start in Limsa, if you choose THM you start in Ul'dah, etc. That was stated a long time ago.

[Curjos]

Will there be a "duel" type feature that is popular in other MMO's that allows players to have friendly, one-on-one PvP battles with each other anywhere in the game?

[Curjos]

Can we expect the storyline of ARR to focus again on the Echo? The storyline was really intriguing me prior to the Grand Company and Seventh Umbral Era stories, and seems to have just been dropped, never to be mentioned again.

[Chrees]

Yoshida-san mentioned in interviews last year that Dalamud was originally going to be used in a future scenario, but when plans for A Realm Reborn were made those were obviously scrapped in favor of the Seventh Umbral Era storyline we got. I know this is a bit of a stretch, but...

Is there any way you could tell us what the original plan for Dalamud was?
