With A Realm Reborn, is there a pet job in the making? Or ones that will be able to charm or manipulate the monsters of Eorzea (For example, a Beastmaster or Tamer job/class)?

One year ago, Bayohne posted a translation in response to players requesting a designated roleplay server in time for server merges:

There aren't any plans to designate a roleplay server for the upcoming World Merge. However, Yoshida did tell us "I also like roleplaying, so with the launch of version 2.0 we'll prepare a roleplay server."

Are there still plans to designate an official roleplay server for ARR so that roleplayers will be able to find others to share in this activity? If so, will it only be one server? And would it be a global server? Or will there be one roleplay server for each region?

can you go into detail about free company/linkshells?

Can you make a new monster like Keshi, a horse demon?

You've mentioned that players will be able to change their hairstyle and hair color. Will this be done in a barbershop? If so, will the barbers be accessible to new players price wise , so they can alter their look without needing to re-create their character?

Will crafters be able to make equipment which has similarly high demand compared to equipment players can find from chests or monsters?

In other games such as GW2 that have systems like ARR's FATEs there is a problem with the repetitive nature making them go stale quickly and in most cases the starter through the mid zones have 0 people participating in them and they are nearly impossible to solo which means for those just starting out or who rerolled a new character they do not get to enjoy them as much as they could. They instead become a roadblock or just spammed by high lvl characters for drops. Is there anything in ARR that will help to keep FATEs fresh? As in level capping them to prevent abuse by high lvl characters and farmers or having the event changing periodically to keep it from going stale?

There are only so many times a farm can be attacked by bandits and harpys after all...

Will there be more weapons that have special animation effects or transform when they are drawn, and will Bard have more musical-themed weapons aside from the Relic?

What will this game have that will really make it different and worthwhile compared to all the other games out there? We've done a lot of what has been announced before in other games from FFXI to GW2 to WoW clones. What is one thing you can introduce that is really special and unique?

Will we be able to buy the Meteor Survivor T-shirt?
