FINAL FANTASY XI Digest Q&A February 2021

[kythra]

like Vagary- It would be wonderful if the new job adjustements made us useful again. That's honestly my request.

BTW. I am planning on having 6 accounts open soon.

I'm a high taxpayer to the company and already have 4 copies of the game- am just waiting to sub 2 more and then finally the next discount for the other 2.

just wanted to let you know that I contribute a lot so you'd consider making me a priority.

[Cyriack]

would it be feasable to put more storage chests in the mog garden to hold items until a better solution is found? i cant use any but 6 jobs per character with the high need for gear and some of that gear especially abjurations and stuff doesnt fit anywhere else.

[Zegreiart]

Great video. Thank you for sharing some insight with us. I'm looking forward to learning more about the job updates and am hopeful that the job changes herald in a new dawn for XI.

[Pixela]

Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions for us!

As much as secret recipes excite me. And they do. You've 'somehow' managed to not answer a single relevant question, if any question at all. With the exception maybe of revealing that all jobs will be 'updated' in a single patch.

Here I was looking forward to hearing how you were going to (re)balance the game because currently magic, skillchains and ranged attacks are seemingly irrelevant when you consider that every job that can equip Naegling can top any parse by just spamming savage blade with it. The game is in dire need of slowing down melee TP gain by a lot, there are other games that do the spam 1 skill to kill more or less everything much better and it would be a waste to keep FFXI in its current state trying to compete with those.

The real problem, IMO, is the solution for every hard fight is "AF/AC" and the fact that so few people know how to SC anyhow. i am a big fan of Leaden > Mordant > Torcleaver > Leaden > Wildfire personally.
however, the job overhaul is exciting

The only thing people AF/AC are aeonic helms and they arent really hard, everything else is a huge Melee zerg, blood pacts got an un needed nerf and now you cant even apogee anything with out a 90% dmg penalty or play with other smn's ,yet its ok to melee zerg everything. If anything Cor and bard and naegling need nerfed and elemental magic needs buffed.

It does feel like these questions were "cherry picked" to get the promised and demanded Q&A Digest

I mean, they made that pretty clear in the first couple of questiones where they basically said they lumped a bunch of questions together into one. There isn't anything wrong with this. I'd rather them pick out questions they can give a meaningful answer to. Which they mostly did, except for the story question where they basically only said "we can't talk about that."

I kind of dispute this. they did discuss how they have specific plans to release the reforged empyrean gear, and it's tied into the full spectrum job adjustments. Which alsos means that the empyrean upgrades probably will be modifying whatever things that get changed or added for each job when that happens. It's kind of a wishy-washy answer, yeah, but it's not meaningless.

Frankly I'd argue that this Q &A is better than most of the ones they've ever done, even if that isn't saying a whole lot.

[Darcain]

Darn my question wasn't one of the 6 they answered. Maybe I'd have better luck winning the Bonanza.

lol "This year or later" so "Between now and never"
