I didn't take down on paper all the questions that were asked, so I'm just going to try to go off of memory the main questions that were asked.
#1: "Are there going to be any game updates that benefit monk?"
Answer: The guys response to this at first was a bit of laughter and saying that of all the jobs he hasn't heard a monk that was really dissatisfied. But after more discussion he mentioned that while monks do have the most job abilities in the game, they are aware that a lot of monks are dissatisfied with their JSE gear (not sure which gear he means) and that they are looking to improve that particular aspect for monks in the future.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2: On Summoner Armor, does the -Enmity actually mean the Summoner's enmity? or the Avatar's?
Answer It actually means the Avatar gets -Enmity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#3: Are black mages going to be nerfed?
Answer: They stated that they were aware of the problems with getting a lot of chains with a party mostly consisting of black mages, and that in a few patches back they fixed that. But they are not looking to purposely make a job weaker in any way. Basically the SE staff did a lot of dancing around the subject but ended saying that black mages will have a "re-balance" at the release of the new expansion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#4: Does Treasure Hunter take effect when the thief gets the final hit? Or just any party member as long as the thief has hit the mob once?
Answer: Sage Sundi totally denied anyone from answering this. But it was no surprise to anyone really.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#5: Melee jobs have a high-level quested weapon skills, do you have anything planned to do something like this for casting classes also?
Answer: They said they ARE going to put high lvl spells in the game that can only be obtained through the quest for them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#6: Nearly all jobs have food that effect them in a way that increases the usefullness of their job. Do you have any plans to add food that gives an effect such as "Avatar Accuracy+"?
Answer: The team responded saying that they can't say anything about it right now, but they do have some nice surprises installed for summoners in the upcoming expansion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#7: Does having more people in your party increase your chance to get a drop?
Answer: Yes. It is my understanding that each person in the party has a chance of making an item drop. So someone that goes farming by themself compared to an alliance of 18 will not have as much luck with the drop-rate.
Side-note: This was asked by my friend right after the Q&A session ended and Sage Sundi had already walked off the stage. I think if Sage Sundi would have been there, he most likely would have denied an answer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#7: One of the rumors I have heard since becoming a beastmaster is that having a pet/jug-pet out causes you to get a lower drop rate, is this true?
Answer: Nope.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#8: A good while back I heard that SE banned people for monopolizing NM's. Does that mean we cannot camp the same NM's over and over non-stop for money?
Answer: No, that would not be monopolizing a NM. If you were to charm the placeholder of a NM and hold onto it with the intent of causing inconvenience to other players, or to claim a NM and just hold claim on it for hours and hours instead of killing it, then you would be monopolizing it. Also usage of MPK to obtain claim to a NM is another way of monopolizing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#9: Will the blue mage's abilities be based on TP or MP?
Answer: "Sorry, we can't say just yet anything about the expansion. But we will let you guys in on something. Very soon we will be making a huge announcement about the expansion pack on our website!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#10: When will the english DVD of FF7:AC be comming out?
Answer: "We have no idea." and everyone boo'd at the fact that he wasn't asking a FFXI question lol. And then the GM asked the crowd "How many of you here have already seen it?" and just about 60% of the crowd raised their hands and the GM replied jokingly, "Hmmm, ok that's about... 44 thousand dollars. Hey! You guys can pay for this event!" everyone thought it was hilarious!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#11: Are there going to be any changs that prevent groups from MPKing other groups at HNM spawns?
Answer: "We would like to hear feedback about this very issue in a thread we have set-up on the Stratics forum. Right now we are thinking of possibly having monsters that aggro a player return to their spawn location first before being able to aggro another player. But again, we want feedback from the players on Stratics forum thread."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#12: What about storage? Are you guys planning to increase the storage capacity of mog-houses anytime soon?
Answer: "No. We can't do more than 80. Sure to you guys it's just another 10 slots or so. But multiply that by the total number of players and that's a lot of data that needs to be stored. We are looking into ways of possibly being able to transfer your maximum slots between your backpack and your mog-house though nothing has been decided upon."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For now this is all I can remember, if I remember more I will definitely edit them in. But sometime in the future SE said they will eventually post an update about this whole event with Q&A transcripts included, but who knows when that will be, so I'm tryin to give you guys what I can remember.
