Aby npc in Heavens tower?

[Volkai]

In regards to comments about the placement of the Abyssea NPCs in Heaven’s Tower, Windurst, the development team is aware of what you are all pointing out. The development team tried placing them in each area of Windurst, however, there were memory issues in Windurst Woods, Windurst Waters, and Port Windurst which would not allow the ability to confirm Bastion conditions. Due to this, they placed the NPCs in Heaven’s Tower.

As pointed out, there is a difference in convenience when compared to San d’Oria and Bastok, and though it might take some time, we will be looking for other methods to solve this issue.

It seems to me as though the simple solution to this is to add a(nother) tarutaru NPC, in the place the Abyssea NPCs would have gone had there not been memory issues, that will warp you directly to the location of the Abyssea NPCs in Heaven's Tower.

You could even give him some cheesy text like "I know you adventurer-wenturers are so eager-weager to help-ey out-ey {first Abyssea NPC name I don't remember, possibly with Tarutaru accent distortion} and {second Abyssea NPC name I don't remember, possibly with Tarutaru accent distortion}, so I'll send you right to them if you wanty!"

Was Dr. Weird in charge of NPC Placement?

Dr. Weird: "GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD! I have place Abyssea NPCs next to the Star Sibyl!"

Steve: "Um.. that's great boss. So.. you do that for science?"

Dr Weird: "NO! I did it because it was free, and she was drunk and didn't know what she was doing!"

Good comedy, but... someone hasn't been keeping up with the dev tracker. <.<;

We do not speak of Shantotto's plans!! The Mistress may be watching..... >.>;

"The Mistress" can eat my scythe. Leave the NPCs in Heaven's Tower. At least now you have a reason to go there.

How about make an NPC in Port Windy etc. that can port you to heaven's tower then?

They could just alter the current tele-tarus to have a selection screen of where in windurst you want to go (and warp between each other) while adding a 5th one in heaven's tower.

We appreciate the time you took to reply.
We figured it was PS2 limitations.
Greatguardian is right about Shantotto's plan.
She's conquering the Windurst nation.

what about moving the abyssea NPC in Jeuno?

where it is now is above an AH in port jeuno and near the NPC to store seals like KS seals and such.

Didn't the notes say you guys removed syngery things out of upper jeuno? what about putting the abyssea NPCs where the second AH is by the church and remove those AH npcs?

The way to make heaven's tower more convenet would be put a poter moogle in there and a nomad moogle if the abyssea NPCS have to be there. it would be added help if you put the KI set store NPC there too.

you can put them on the bottem floor of heaven's tower so people are not starring at those things and the abyssea NPC

Thank you for the explanation Apologies if this has been suggested already. But might I suggest to the development team, that if there is an issue with memory in regards to confirming Bastion conditions, that this can be worked around with the following method.

Allow players who have completed the Windurst Quest "Flower Child" (the ability to exit to any zone in Windurst from your Mog House) to access Heaven's Tower, as a Mog House exit. This way the Abyssea NPCs aren't required to be moved from their current location, surpassing the memory issue. And all players who complete this quest, have very quick access to the Abyssea NPCs from their Mog House. This not only works on a practical level, but also you will notice that the Heaven's Tower zoneline in Windurst Walls is actually a teleport. So on a geographical level if it seems somewhat odd that you can leave your Mog House and suddenly appear in Heaven's Tower, you can just make the animation from leaving the Mog House that of a teleport.

I hope this goes some way to help relieving the issue, and thanks again for your continued efforts.

At least we got a valid reason out of them.
