Level 5 CEO Saying Something to Yoshi-P
Very happy with the raid finder. However, he wants a cross-server Party Finder equivalent.
Yoshi-P wants to make it. They WILL be making it.
Currently aiming for 3.5.
They also want players to just be able to chat cross-server naturally. To make sure this works as well, 3.5 is when all of these features will hopefully be implemented.
Should be predictable based on release schedule.
Level 5 CEO has cleared a5/a6 through the PF. Wants the raid-finder to help ease finding people to raid with.
Considering making lobbies/rooms that are cross-server where you can chat with other players.
Level 5 CEO asks: Will they continue doing Normal + Savage mode?
Level 5 CEO prefers the Coil system to make seeing the new content more exciting.
Yoshi-P won’t say they will/won’t change it. It's hard to determine the right choice since many people had trouble with clearing coil for the story.
They are considering additional options to give players a better sense of achievement from the raids.
Fights and gear are fine, but Yoshi wants more cutscenes.
Level 5 CEO Asks: Will Savage have a new gear design?
Yoshi: Not sure.
They will try to make it designed differently.
They will try to adjust difficulties/make the gear more unique.
Level 5 CEO Asks: Housing has a lot of cool items but there isn’t much of a reason to go inside of houses.
They are considering adding incentives for visiting other players inside of their houses.
Considered a big problem within the development team.

Its FFXIV...so why do we get 13 minions? (They asked this)
Its because we have 13 jobs in the game. Video showcasing which Yokai is related to which job.
Whisker of the Brave Cat/ Buckler of the Legendary Cat glamour items for PLD.
Musket of the Metal Cat for MCH
Ears of the Moon Rabbit Weapons for Monk

Details regarding the actual creation of the items for the collab.
7-11 Collaboration
CEO bought 6 bottles of water a day to complete it in JP.
On the third day he accidentally threw away the receipt.
So why are the Yokai in Eorzea?
There will be a quest explaining this, just like with previous collaborations.
You will get...a Yokai Watch as a wrist accessory.
This is relevant to the game/anime so it felt necessary.
In order to complete the quest, you need to equip the watch then do certain things to get the items.
You’re able to collect medals in order to obtain minions or weapons.
It will be easier to get the weapon for the job you consider your “main”, while the other weapons may take some time.
Minions are easier to collect, and once you get all 13 minions you also get the mount.
Collaboration coming this summer. Please Look Forward to it. Hai.
