Battle Stats Menu

[Camate]

Greetings,

I have an update from Akihiko Matsui in regards to the display of various other battle stats.

Matsui here.

While there are space issues when it comes to adding parameters such as accuracy to the current UI, it would be possible to address this by checking with a special NPC or by adding a new text command.

We would like to look into displaying information for right hand accuracy, left hand accuracy, evasion, ranged accuracy, ranged attack, magic accuracy, and magic evasion moving forward.

Nobody plays on PS2 anymore. You don't need to make design decisions based on 640x480 screens anymore. Make the boxes bigger.

Related: Make multiple-choice boxes bigger so we can see more than three options at a time.

JPs still do, and I see enough people on various forums that do too, including me. There's enough interest that someone wrote a guide on installing Adoulin to an NA PS2. (richi902 on assemblergames said he spend over 100 Euros to make and test the guide, and he doesn't even really play the game, so hurray for motivated hackers)

You have guts. Not too many people would reveal publicly that they're part of a small group of people willingly holding back the enjoyment of many others.

On second thought, I'll do it too.

Dear SE,
Please stop support for PS2. It's holding the game back from meeting modern gaming standards.

I've been playing on PS2 since just after JP launch. I've been active on forums since, and I expect people know I use the platform. It's never been a big secret. I gained access to PC in 2007 to be able to run it, but it's always had some stability issues with either not crashing, or not disconnecting from the internet. PS2 has allowed me to do events I don't want to disconnect in the middle of. Also, being an NA user doesn't matter much when JP has the majority of the population using the platform, and they've stopped releasing expansions outside that region for the platform. The data files being the same for all regions just means that a file migration is the simple fix.

Also, my PC does so many other jobs, sometimes I need the processing power for something, like conversion of a batch of video discs I bought and want to consolidate into my searchable network library, and running a conversion batch of disc to AVI/MKV file makes FFXI run poorly. It's also the file server for the family, so too much drive access slows down the game. My email and IM are also constantly running for work. It's nice to have a dedicated platform, which is what my PS2 serves.

Good post, but I think I agree with Catmato. What kind of a jerk are you that you use a video game console to play a video game?

You need some serious life perspective if you're making statements like that over a video game.

Even if SE dropped PS2 support they are still hamstrung by the game engine itself which they are not going to make wholesale changes to under any circumstances. What you and others want is never going to happen.

It hasn't happened with any other major MMO that I'm aware of. Everquest still looks and plays like a game from the last century and it was never tied to a console. WoW still doesn't do anything that it couldn't have done in 2004 and it's not tied to a console. Why do you expect SE, of all companies, to do what no one else has done? If Blizzard can't or won't then what makes you think SE can or will?

Yeah, how dare I care about my hobby?!

The type of statement you made is usually followed up by a threat of some sort.

Wow, hypocrite of the year award goes to me.

Magic Attack Bonus, until much more recently, pretty much only came from gear, the trait, and a handful of buffs, and is much easier to determine and add up.

I believe he meant total Magic Attack, not just MAB.

Edit: Guess that's not a thing.
