Super Brief summary of translation - based on cygneakrou's translation. subject to human error
Topic 1: Housing
Same response as forum posts
Topic 2: Sands and oil are so much easier
New tomestones are coming soon. Let people catchup to i110 as soon as they can to be ready
Topic 3: Can we get Nexus values in numbers rather than vague terms every 200
No. Working as intended
Topic 4: New dyes?
Will be available in 2.4. Ingredients come from retainer ventures
TOpic 5: Easter eggs like emoting to minions have special effects
Yoshida doesn't know them all himself. Not all might even be found. He thinks they are fun.
Topic 6: 2.4 title
Talked about reasons for calling it
Topic 7: New Dungeons
Snowcloak. Sastasha (Hard), Qarn (Hard) me: Yay Snowcloak. Yay Sastasha. OMG NOOOO Qarn. Snowcloak music is pretty
Topic 8: Shiva Instance
Instance is called "The Ahk Afab Amitheatre". Will be Hard and Extreme. You can fall down but there are steps to get back up! Arena is SUPER pretty
Topic 9: Shiva Info
Will be party of Main Scenario. Dunno ilvl but most likely weapons.
Topic 10: Will there be a new Primal Focus quest
No plans at moment, but is interesting.
Topic 11: New Class Job - Rogue/Ninja
Ninja poisions/dot do NOT work like how we currently understand Dots. Combos are also different.
Topic 12: Any special requirements for Ninja?
You can't choose Rogue as a starter class. You have to get another battle class to 10. Not revealling the cross class skills. But sneak will NOT be able to be used by other jobs
Topic 13: Throw
No ability called Throw. Their policy is no class will have a consumable that can run out (i.e. arrows, Shuriken)
Topic 14: Coil #3
Will be the last coil. Savage mode maybe in 2.5. Haven't decided.
Topic 15: Coil story
Eventually coils will be redundant content so harder for newbies to complete. Might look into ways for people to get story without doing it after coil storyline is wrapped up
Topic 16: Weddings
Planned to be ready for 2.4. Don't call it Marriage! It is Eternal Bond!
Topic 17: Can you port to your partner?
You will have a chocobo instead
Topic 18: The Ixali Gloves are weak!
Ixali quests were designed for new crafters not existing hardcore crafters, so gloves aren't OP
Topic 19: Add routette for CT?
May make Labyrinth of Ancients clearable by smaller parties. Also lower dungeons could be come solo.
Topic 20: Complaint about frontline teams starting with different numbers (i.e. one GC at disadvantage)
No plan to change as would mean longer queues
Topic 21: Please increase Levi Mirror drop
Maybe
Topic 22: "Savage" Primals?
It would be hard to make somthing more difficult than extreme

Frontlines is more popular. Gonig to try to make wolves den more interesting to get more numbers. Adding a PvP rankign system
