Announcing the Results of the December and January Version Update Survey (08/04/2014)

Thank you to everyone who participated in the December and January Version Update Survey! We've organized all of the data and we're pleased to share the results along with comments from Producer Akihiko Matsui.

Trust Initiative


Many players have tried this out and we've received very enthusiastic responses.
We prioritized implementation speed with this plan, and we would like to continue to make refinements in future version updates.

Please tell us the NPCs you summon the most with Trust magic (up to three).


We'd like to continue to hear about this topic in the future.
Kupipi was one of the original alter egos that you could acquire, and due to her popularity, hers was the alter ego that was called forth the most. Based on the results of the survey, we'll continue to make adjustments to the special traits and such of alter egos that are not being used as frequently, while taking into consideration the requirements for obtaining them as well as their role type.

Records of Eminence


I'm happy to see that there are a lot of people getting involved in this content.
Moving forward, we will be adding other variations to this system that will focus on encouraging solo play.

High-tier mission battlefields


I would like to apologize for inconveniences caused by congestion-related issues.

Monstrosity


Looking at these results, I feel there is a need to explore methods to get people more involved in Monstrosity, as well as methods to encourage them to continue playing this content.

Addition of items that can be purchased with "Shining Stars" in Mog Gardens


Moving forward, we will continue to add various items that can be exchanged for shining stars. We'd like to add items that are related to Mog Gardens and that can be used for Mog Garden elements.

Addition of areas from which to access Mog Gardens


This is a topic that we received a lot of requests about on the forum.
While there are subtle aspects to this, we would like to continue making adjustments moving forward.

Quest: Hypocritical Oath


Since this is a quest that is part of a series, there is a trend where the amount of players who are doing these quests will gradually taper off. However, this was a disappointing result. Reward-wise, it's liable to be compared with Coalition Assignments and Records of Eminence, and there is also a lack of guidance for this quest, so I feel there is some room to improve this a bit.

Adjustment to the party member restrictions for Meeble Burrows, Assault, and Salvage


Thank you for your patience. This content also affects other instanced content, and because of this we had to proceed with adjustments very carefully. However, we were finally able to adjust the party member restrictions.

Addition of pets that can be called with the job ability "Call Beast"


Improvements and adjustments to pets


We'll continue to make adjustments to pet jobs overall.

Cost reduction and elimination of purchase limitations for the Voidwatch item "Phase Displacer"


We made these adjustments for players who are currently getting into Voidwatch content.
While this content was originally designed to be undertaken by a large group of people, we'll be considering adjustments that are more appropriate for the current times.

Additional rewards for Macrocosmic Orb battlefields


I felt this would be received well as a way to enjoy this content. As we would like to add new methods by which you can obtain equipment, it'd be great if a lot more people could get involved in this content.

Item level 119 artifact armor reforging


Similar to the high-tier mission battlefields, I apologize for the inconvenience for congestion-related issues.

Addition of synthesis recipes


I feel that overall synthesis adjustments, not just the addition of recipes, are highly sought-after. I'd like to make adjustments bit by bit as we move forward.

Addition of Wide Scan to all jobs


Warping between home points


Organized view of various currencies


Increased movement speed of players, pets, monipulators, and enemies


We'll continue to make adjustments so you can devote the majority of your play time to enjoying the content.

Addition of Sacred Kindred's Crests to the items exchangeable with the NPC "Shemo"


We waited a patch to implement this as a countermeasure for congestion.

Dragon Quest X Online collaboration event


Eleven years ago, who would have thought that slimes from Dragon Quest would appear in Vana'diel?

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn collaboration event


Having a collaboration event with another FINAL FANTASY title was quite a profound experience. In addition to these types of collaborations, we will continue striving to implement things that everyone can get excited about.

Active Adventurer Appreciation Campaign


Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign


I was very happy to hear feedback on the current state of Vana'diel from returning players. Please continue to let us know your feedback on the forum and other places.

New Year's Alter Ego Extravaganza


We implemented this event thinking it would be an interesting way to obtain alter egos. We'll continue to add more and more famous NPCs from Vana'diel to the Trust system.

Repeat Login Campaign No. 6


We implemented the first Repeat Login Campaign with the idea of having an event that would give small bonuses to players who log in to play each day, and here we are at Repeat Login Campaign No. 6.

These campaigns have not been created so that you won't be able to play the game if you are not participating in the Repeat Login Campaign each time, but as minor bonuses you can enjoy while playing with everyone each day.

I Dream of Mog Bonanza


With the recent implementation of campaigns other than Mog Bonanza, I feel like this needs a bit of a boost to make it more attractive.

Please tell us how frequently you utilize the Test Server


The objective of the Test Server was to implement features before they went live so that everyone could try them out and provide feedback. However, the delay between version updates of late has become shorter and we've been able to respond to everyone's feedback at a faster pace. Based on the results we've received from this survey, as well as the current cycle of operation, we would like to look into what to do with the operation of the Test Server.
