Edit: Extra stuff

Yoshi-P's birthday is May 1st
When does Phase 3 start? > That's still a secret
Will players be able to use guns? > We're considering it
Will we be able to listen to the works of Naoshi Mizuta? (FFXI composer, wiki link) > Perhaps 2 or 3 at launch
Can we have huge shields? > It won't be at launch but we're planning on implementing them post-launch
Yoshi-P is younger than Yousuke Saitou (Producer of DQ10, JP wiki link)
Weather Reports? > Difficult to implement by launch
Will we get to see/meet the new SE President in the new Live Letter? > Probably sometime after the next one
Will content/dungeons have TA? > Probably in the form of Free Company/Lodestone Rankings
Minfilia (wiki) will reappear, complete with a new sexy original costume, will be an important character
Are Primal Songs different? > It'll still have the same 'image' as the old ones, the new Primals will of course have new songs
If we equip Materias to weapons will we be able to increase its item level? (Stan's notes: I'm assuming the question here is asking if it can be comparable to stuff attainable in dungeons) > No. Materia is intended to fill in the blanks in-between levels/content
Monks can keep on chaining combos to increase DPS. However, constant chaining will come with its sets of risks
We're thinking of basing the names of the servers on FF monsters. Probably not enough if we base them on items
We will be adding different buddies/companions other than Chocobos eventually. Magitek Armor will be one of them
Datacenters/servers will not be separated by language, but by region
New BGM (can listen here in niconico, about 20:13 in). Tentative Title: Decisive Battle
We will be redistributing the special heat-resistant swimsuits again. We're considering redistributing the reindeer costume too
Do you respect Yoshi-P as a superior? > Morbol: Yes, I do
There will be no PK
We'll be implementing Level Sync in Phase 3. No need to change gears for it too, as stats will auto-adjust accordingly. But will be weaker compared to the optimal gears at the correct level
Fat Chocobo will be implemented in a future patch
Whatever happened to Battle Regimen? > It became the Limit Break system
Any plans for an official Guidebook? > We will release a Starter Book
Any other references to older Final Fantasies you have planned? > Some through songs, others in stuff we've already mentioned
Collector's Edition people will receive in-game items such as the FF1 armor (picture link). Can receive even if you bought the 1.0 Collector's Edition. Will be others too
Will there be 'talking' Bosses, like Nael? > Yes
Will we get to change the walls/floors in housing? > Can change various things indoors
How well does the touch panel feature of Win8 work with ARR? > Can perform just as well as I've shown in the last Live Letter
When will we get to use the apps for Smartphones? > Beta Test Phase 4 or at launch
How's Hiroshi Minagawa doing? (person in charge of ARR UI, wiki link) > Great! He completely revamped the UI for Phase 3. The stuff you see now will no longer be there
Yoshi-P respects Minagawa so much he's one of the reasons Yoshi-P joined the industry
So when does Phase 3 start already? > Let's hope Hiroyuki (co-founder of Niconico, will later interview Yoshi-P) can pry the answers off me
Plans on the Hair Salon? > In a patch after launch. Can change hairstyles and hair color
When will we get to see our next walkthough videos? > Late next month. Probably will release them at the same time we release our new PV
What games do you play lately? > ARR of course!
Any meaning to the birth dates you set during character creation? > We'll probably do something with it later
Other than FF, what other (Japanese) games do you like? > Dragon Quest
Also a core player of Monster Hunter. Probably put in 4-digit hours into playing it
Which FF character is your favorite? > Cloud. Like the emo-aspect
Will we get to see an opening movie like FF11? > Yes. Can watch in Beta Phase 3. It's also the only voice acting you'll see (for now)
There will be two basic retainers. Can share them between characters in the same server (Stan's notes: I'm assuming here it means that you can share them between characters in the same server and also under the same account)
Can we apply specific requests to the content finder? > Not in the beginning
Undecided if we'll implement/release Cutter's Cry in Beta Phase 4
Will wipe Characters in Beta Phase 3
Don't really like Kyabetsu Tarou... (a type of snack in Japan, picture link)
Will you implement gear like the Zodiac Subligars in FF11? > Since Subligars are popular, we'll consider it
Will we be able to read up on detailed lore and such as requested in the forums? > We definitely want to implement something like that
Yoshi-P's recommend job is Black Mage. Is actually one of his favorites.
Can probably get a glimpse of Arcanist in E3
Yoshi-P is a Nuker
Yoshi-P's favorite Karaage-kun flavor is Cheese (type of snack in Japan, picture link)
Will you actually get to take a vacation on New Years next year? > Depends on the (progression) of the patches, but I've got a feeling I'll be working on a big patch
Will there be other social tools other than the Item Box in Free Companies? > Yes. We will eventually introduce them through videos
Any plans on adding Polo Shirts? > We'll think about it
Will we have all options available in Character Creation in Beta Phase 3? > Yes. Although we still might add a few more things at launch
Limit Break will be added in Phase 3. Level 3 Limit Breaks will probably (for now) remain unaccessable
Can we change/add colors to armor in Phase 3? > Yes
Are there any new members in the main scenario staff? > Please wait until we release the official staff roll. If you're a core fan of Square Enix, perhaps you'll recognize some of them
Any interesting episodes you can tell us about the foreign (EN/FR/DE) playerbase? > Quite a number of them are against regional servers, and there are also a lot of people who play as Lalafel
ARR will NOT release in October. We will release the game in a time when the weather is still hot. We can probably talk about a release date next month.
What happened to Shiva? > Can't talk just yet. First, Ramuh

*squees like a child*

Gimmeh! :3

A very interesting read at that. Some stuff was covered in there that wasn't covered in the last Live Letter. I'm getting more and more excited for this game as time progresses and more content is leaked to us!

Regional servers? Does that mean I'll be forced into an European server because I'm in Europe? >_< Really hope I'm getting it wrong.

I'm pretty sure much earlier on YoshiP says we will be able to choose which server we want to be on, regardless of region. I believe it's just an attempt of trying to get people together who keep the same play-times, not to force people together.

Okay^^; That's a great relief to me. I'm too fond to american roleplayers to start anew with another community.

Noelle · April 29, 2013

Ah, you're in the same boat as me Blue. >u>;;

I was super worried about the new servers, and the possibility that they'd be doing regional segregation.

But as Deir said the plan seems to be to have servers open to everyone. It's just that they're going to have servers based in various places. So your ping will be better if you pick a EU server, but it should otherwise be a free choice...

Also I'd like to think splitting people by region, and sundering any connections made while the servers were multiregion in 1.x should stand out as an all round poopy idea.

I really hope the PVP isn't complete shit honestly lol....
