A lot of people have achievements for reaching level 50 on all mage classes and then all combat classes. This has granted them titles and a crown. How will the introduction of Arcanist affect this? Will that crown/title no longer be usable until Arcanist is also level 50? Or will there be a new addition that includes Arcanist but does not interfere with the previous achievements/rewards?

As nothing has been said I'm curious to know, will there be class starting gear as it was in the previous version? can you show us an example if that's the case?

What is the view on creating FFXIV fan films like Rooster Teeth's Red VS. Blue or similar projects like anime music videos for non-profit and others to enjoy in regards to the Square Enix policies?

As with Final Fantasy II, will we be seeing the return of keyed sequence combination attacks for Monk jobs?

Will facial feature options still be locked to particular faces?
A demand for facial hair seems to be thrown around on the forums alot.
Ex.- I wanted porkchops on my midlander in 1.o but it wasnt a feature on the face I picked. (Not sure how many faces it was allowed on, I did play with several faces before I locked in my character and never saw the porkchops)
P/S~~ I once saw a tricorn icon somewhere with a mustache built into it. Epic!

I noticed in the previous Concept art that Gatherer's such as Miner, Fisher and Botanist would have some sort of special armor, is this a type of Artifact for the gathering classes? If so, will there be specific job-related quests that will allow you to attain these?

Battle System

From the alpha/beta videos, I see a lot of fast paced fighting, which should be exciting! However it seems enemies die very fast and all you need to do is just to spam 1 or 2 of your abilities because the TPs always seem to be sufficient. I would like to get some ideas on how the battle works in 2.0 and if there is any tactics or strategies involved.

Also is there any party/group oriented combat system? Things to do in battle that depend on other party members' actions. For example, skillchains/magic bursts from FFXI.

In terms of limit break, how does limit break system work? From the information gathered, it seems to be just a gauge that party members' actions can fill. Then once it's filled, someone will unleash an ultimate move. Is there any planning needed? Do players need to interact with each other for this? For example, perhaps there is a party combo system and only moves done by the party combos can earn points to fill the gauge?

A person mentioned chocobo pets will use a gambit system, much like in FF-12. Will class pets be controlled the same way?

Will seasonal events be tied to the FATE system at any point? I'd love to see a FATE where you need to throw snowballs at an NPC, or something like last summer's fire dance fest!
