April 2020 FINAL FANTASY XI Digest

[Lockhart]

First Post Warning:

Thank you for getting an update out at all! I know with everything going on its going to be hard to do more than just the standard ambuscade and objectives changes, but I just wanted to potentially toss a few suggestions to hopefully get them on your radar.

1. It would be amazing to get a little mini map or if that is not possible an upgrade to the existing radar.

2.As suggested by many other players on the forum, a place to store dynamis currencies, beitetsu, plutons, boulders, alexandrite, Detritus, Heroism Crystals/aggregate, and other such items. Mostly due the fact that these items are required in extreme high amounts, (30,000, 10,000, etc.) to do create or upgrade items. This causes a huge strain on my already strained inventory because it takes me a long amount of time to gather these. To speak to some responses, I have seen in the past, while some of these can be stored if you're on that quest, I.E. Paparoon will hold your alexandrite while you're working on a mythic, however, if you complete that before the other items, but are working on getting enough for your next mythic you have nowhere to put these. Another example, 10,000 Boulders for Empyrean upgrades, he will hold your boulders for that weapon but if you don't have enough to complete (its 102 stacks, that's 102 inventory spaces) for this weapon he won't hold your plutons or Beitetsu. It's my hope that you can make Coelestrox could hold job cards/omen scales, and Aurix could store Dyna-D metals, cards, and possibly shards/void pieces, Haggleblix or Switchstix store dynamis currency, Oboro store beitetsu/plutons/boulders/Detritus/heroism etc. Or possibly put an NPC beside those that'll store these.

3. It would be nice if you could make an option to decline confirmation on HomePoint's travel, if you decline confirmation instead of the screen saying "add to favorites, yes please, no thank you" it would just warp you. In order to receive this screen again just enable confirmation.

4. Abyssea confluxes show on the map where they are, like HomePoint's.

5. I really liked how you brought a use for merit points again with Emporox, I understand that Oboro takes job points for a while but once you've cleared content they just cap out and you don't get anything. If you could come up with a job point Exhange/storage like Emporox it would be incredible. Currently if you only play a handful of jobs (which I think is common due to the current inventory constraints) and you cap them out of job points you essentially have no reason to CP with others. This means all the events that your providing for increased Capacity points gain are useless to me. If I could use these job points for anything it would allow me to take advantage of these events.

6. Implementing something under Unity menu, making a new tab or just adding into ‘unity info’ where the DI dragon is. Accessing unity chat is near impossible sometimes and jumping to each place to find the dragon is incredibly frustrating when in theory the info should be at your fingertips.

Thank you for reading, I know this is a lot of work, but I wanted to give suggestions for things currently hindering myself that I think would improve quality of life.

Thank you Mr. Matsui and you the whole SE development team for all your hard work. I only have one question:

Can we please permanently learn the Campaign Weapon Skills? We have a Trust NPC who can perform one of the Weapon Skills; so can we have the ability to do so as well? Please?!

Thank you for getting a monthly update out, considering what is going on in the world at the moment.

All the best and stay safe!

Will there be a Login Campaign being continued from last month? If there is any skips will the items from previous months be included? Just wanted to know cause Shantotto II is taunting me haha.

Greetings Historic,

There will be a new Login Campaign for the month of April.
This month we're featuring not only the Mutsunokami from last month, but the Model Synergy Furnace, and ♪doll mount from previous months as well.

Here's the link to this month's Login Campaign page.

Thank you for working hard to get an update out this month. Please stay safe!

We have the following categorises in the Records of Eminence:

Basic
Intermediate

Can we get an Advanced one for closure? Obviously these will be no easy feat.

I understand this month is a bit unusual, and last month was all about Odyssey, and February was all about Siren... but can we get an update or a timeline on the rest of the planned job changes or atleast acknowledgement that you aren't planning any more? There haven't been any job updates since Beastmaster in January. If the plan was to give adjustments to EVERY job there are still a few who haven't been touched. And if the plan was to make meaningful changes to the jobs that have been adjusted, then ninja would like a word with you guys.

I don't think there is going to be any sort of timeline until real life begins to return to normalcy.

Changes don't need to be fabricated into the pathing. If people are concerned about time gates, you should be lobbying for monthly deeds to be increased to 8 objectives or 12.
