Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XI Q&A Updates

[Bayohne]

Q30: Can you give us more information on the weapon that can be obtained by defeating the three extreme primal fights? How do we obtain the weapon?

A30: Each of the three extreme primals will drop a quest item and once you turn in all three, you will be able to obtain a weapon as a reward.

Q31: Could you tell us the specific restrictions for lotting on equipment in Crystal Tower?

A31: When you defeat a boss, a treasure chest will appear, and if you receive an item from one of these treasure chests, you will not be able to “Need” or “Greed” again until the weekly reset. (Allagan tomestones of mythology cap reset timing)

Q32: Will be able to enter the Crystal Tower (via Duty Finder) with a group set up other than TANK x2 / DPS x4 / HEALER x2?

A32: No. In patch 2.1, you can only register to enter the Crystal Tower with that set up.

Q33: Please show us the party recruitment feature.

A33: (Stream shows the feature)

Q34: Please tell us how much land and housing will be.

A34: First I would like to apologize in regards to the prices for land. Until now I’ve been saying that we wanted to make the prices the same for all Worlds; however, looking at the gil in circulation for each World, we’ve reached a conclusion that we are unable to make the prices the same across all Worlds.

Based on the economic conditions of all Worlds, we’ve separated Worlds into five groups, and depending on the group the price will be different. The legacy Worlds will be slightly more expensive, but as the players on these worlds have more money, we hope for your understanding.

We plan on making adjustments after looking at how land is sold. By the way, a rank 5 piece of small size land on the cheapest World group will start at 4,000,000 gil and the price will be reduced every six hours.

After this stream has concluded we will be releasing the patch notes, and we’ll be including how much the prices are for each World, so please be sure to check them out afterwards.

In regards to the actual buildings, they are the same price across all Worlds. At the higher range it will run several hundred thousand gill, so it’s relatively cheaper.

Q35: Are there any other secret content in patch 2.1 that you have not yet introduced?

A35: The volume of patch 2.1 is so huge that there are items that we have not yet covered. Please stay tuned!

Q36: Will I be able to participate in the PlayStation®4 version of the Beta Test with my character from the PlayStation®3 version?

A36: The initial PlayStation®4 Beta Test will require a new character, but you will be able to use your existing character in the later phases of the Beta Test.

[Bayohne]

Q37: Could you give us a rough schedule for the Beta Test through official release of the PlayStation 4 version?

A37: The Beta Test will begin on February 22, 2014, which is the same day as when the PlayStation 4 will go on sale in Japan. After this, we will carry data over, hold early access, and start service in April.

Q38: Will the PlayStation®4 Beta Test be conducted on a dedicated server?

A38: Only the initial Beta Test will be conducted on a dedicated server.

Q39: Will we need to subscribe to PlayStation®Plus in order to play the PlayStation 4 version?

A39: No, you will be able to play the PlayStation 4 version without subscribing to PlayStation Plus.
