Greetings,

Below is an in-depth response from Producer Akihiko Matsui in regards to content levels and item levels.

Matsui here.

Thanks so much for all the feedback about item levels and content levels.

I've been answering questions on this topic and have discussed this in the past, but I'd like to take this opportunity to talk more about it.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I hope this serves to explain about the thought process behind content levels and items levels, as well as answer the questions that have been brought up.

Thank you for that Mr Matsui, but I'm sure a lot of people are wondering one thing, actually: when are the R/E/M updates coming? I know in the other topic you said there would be no more yearly or 6-monthly roadmaps to prevent dissapointment, but R/E/M owners are disappointed already. Without any timeframe, it looks like nothing is being done about that. Oh, and Cait Sith, 2 years by now, was it? Without any roadmap released you are free not to bother with any long term plans for the game beyond "so what can we throw in for the next update?". As paying customers, we want to know where this game is heading to now, so that we can decide if it is still worth playing despite luckluster content being released for now. Ask any Red Mage or Rune Fencer and you'll know what I mean.
