Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the second official Letter from the Producer. As always, thank you for taking the time to read.
I’ve been worrying that I may have set the bar a little high for myself with my first letter. There was so much I wanted to cover that it didn’t take long before it expanded to its final, significant length. Afterwards, I noticed a number of posts criticizing me for my light-hearted tone. I apologize. Sometimes my personality gets the better of me. I hope you’ll be kind enough to allow me a certain amount of tomfoolery in the future.
I’ve made a few additions to the list I posted previously—this time regarding forthcoming changes to the Lodestone and other community-based features. (I originally intended for them to be released along with the rest of last week’s post, but I wrote them in right before the post went live and experienced a bit of an...editing fail. Sorry!)
So without further ado, here is the updated and amended list of changes.

As you can see, there are a number of changes planned for patch 1.15a. Once the patch goes live, the list will be updated, and we will continue to add even more changes. Many players have voiced their desire for a complete list of all planned changes, rather than a partial 30% list. I can only say I will personally be adding items to the list as soon as adequate testing and examination have been carried out. So continue to keep an eye on the Lodestone for all the latest news!
My next post will be dealing specifically with the battle system, and I am planning to conduct another players’ poll on the subject. I would very like much to hear all of your opinions again.
Until next time! ☺
FINAL FANTASY XIV Producer & Director, Naoki Yoshida
