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

[Kavaskous]

How long will it take before we're able to ride Airships in real time? We can't now because you've told us that much of the map isn't observable from certain places once you go too high on the z-axis - due to how fast the maps were developed, they'll be needing upgrades.

In other words - How long until riding the Airship is more like riding the Ferry in Ver. 1.0 or in FFXI... except in the air?

Free Companies can build Ships and other property?! But what purpose does any of it serve? Are there places FCs can only visit if they have a ship to take them there? Will Skirmish and other content like it only accessible via Ships for example? Please expand on this!

When you mention about character transfer from one server to another server after launch, is housing included?

[Ralliare]

Will old v1 accounts be able to get the new CE( and pre order ) items that are coming with ARR? Will we have to buy said copy of the game and apply the codes to our old account or can we never get them?

Hey my question i would like to ask (sorry if has been asked before) I was just wondering if there is any chance that Bard and Ranger can/would be made separate jobs. I understand that i am probably in the minority that would also like it to be separate but i figure its worth a try I loved Bard as a job in FF11 and i understand this is not 11 but i would like to see them separated. Thanks for reading can't wait to play ARR!!! ^.^

To what degree can we customise the player housing. Will each member living in the property have individual bed rooms where they can access their retainer? How will we decide who can and can't enter the property?

Kind regards

Fred

Will players from 1.0 get same story line as players that start play in ARR??

No, it has been confirmed that players who have a past from 1.0 or Legacy members will get a slightly different story-line then a new player to 2.0. more so because the character has the memory of the fall of the 6th umberal era and the start of the 7th at the hands of Bahamut

Please provide us with more information about the "scholar" character is this picture.

To the right of the summoner, below the monk, and above the black mage.

While I think scholar would be amazing, that art matches the earlier art for the Arcanist. I think that's just the summoner's lower form, it even has the book as a weapon.

Will FFXIV have a yearly fan festival similar to Vana'fest ? If so, will it be hosted in regions outside Japan so more fans can participate ?

[Lasada]

Can you give us more information, perhaps some video, on the Gold Saucer location? Will we see the return of classic mini games from other FF games such as the snowboarding, submarine games, a bike battle mini game, triple triad or more, hopefully also some new games for FFXIV?
