Is 1.0 friend list carried over to ARR and if so will people on the list get the notification about it?
I've added many people to friend list during 1.0 that are not really my friends, I wouldn't want them to get any message from me because it can make both them and me feel awkward.

Many existing 1.0 players that don't have PS3 are frustrated because they just learned that the Windows Collector's Editions they just ordered (in order to gain the physical & ingame items) can't be applied to their existing 1.0 accounts.

Is there any way that the upcoming "FFXIV Service Center” website that will be used to upgrade existing accounts to Collector's Edition status, could also have the function of exchanging a purchased unused Windows Collector's Edition registration code for a CE Digital Upgrade that can be used on an existing account?

Doing this exchange could make the newly purchased registration code no longer usable, so it wouldn't be an abused feature.... and the existing players would have their physical items and their in-game items that they paid for, attached to the account they want it on.

Could you please elaborate more on the transfer of 1.0 characters to 2.0 as far as the gender/race/server change? How exactly will it work?

[Ashkandi]

Could you elaborate on how the Primals will work as far as Summoning or Company acquisition? Will it be Free Company acquisition or Grand Company and if so, how many primals can one company have? This is assuming that Summoner cannot summon the primal itself.

Will you (Yoshi-P) and Foxclon be present at Gamescom 2013 with the latest news about A Realm Reborn?

Will you implement any sort of CE code swapping service so that those of us who have a non CE account and buy the new physical CE can trade that code for a digital upgrade that can be applied to our current account? That way we don't have to buy both the CE and the CE upgrade and you'll get out of burning a whole heap of FFXIV fans for the second release date in a row (first the state of 1.0, now a bunch of people have bought the ARR PC CE game they can't use because it won't be advertised by the stores that it won't allow them to upgrade their accounts)...

[Yrusama]

Can you add a digital upgrade of the account for the 1.0 non-CE account holder who buy ARR CE edition?

If not, why was this not addressed on the promotional page or the sales page?

Hello Yoshi

How are you? This is a kind of strange question, so bear with me. I was wondering if you will be able to do something about this scenario.

I'm currently on the EU and my linkshell is from the US they will be moving to a server where the data servers are near US, but that can effect me greatly, in terms of response/ms/lag. So will you do something that would help those people or have atleast a character transfer system (payed or not payed or "vounched" for legacy players) so that they can test the server at peak hours for approval?

Thanks you

[Seijelocke]

Will linkshell data be transferred from one server to the next in the event a linkshell leader has to transfer servers due to servers being divided by region? If so, what happens in the event that two linkshells with the same name end up on the same server?

Can you please talk about housing? Do Free Companies get housing? If so, can the Free companies buy land and make a village with Inns, Pubs, and housing for Free Company members?

Can we have friends over in our homes? IF in game marriage comes about can we share the housing with our significant other? What happens if that marriage ends in a divorce?
