Cryptic message FTW -- Bravo Whiskey 3 = Beta World 3
So which Buffet World did you eat at? Oh I like the 3rd one :p
Camp Broken Water is the 4th favorite map to EXP in on the old FFXIV :cool:

　【上栗崇】ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント（ＳＣＥ）が、新しい据え置きゲーム機「プレイステーション（ＰＳ）４」を年内に売り出すことが６日わかった。２００６年の「ＰＳ３」以来７年ぶりの新型で、日米で年末商戦に投入される見通し。価格は検討中だが４万円を超えるとみられる。
　２０日に米国で開かれるイベント「プレイステーション・ミーティング」で、ＳＣＥのアンドリュー・ハウス社長が発表する。
　ソニー側は詳細を明らかにしていないが、画面が高精細になるほか、コントローラーはＰＳ３とほぼ同じ形で、指で触って操作するタッチパッドが付くとみられる。

This one basically confirms that on the 6th SCE confirmed that they will be selling the PS4 this year. The price is still being checked but looks like it's going to be over 40,000 yen. SCE president Andrew House will make official announcement on the 20th at the "Playstation Meeting" event. The details are not confirmed but the screen is in HD and controller model is similar to PS3 but with touch pad which you can control with your finger.

400 seems ok.

I'm sure it will be going for 1k on ebay lol

You should thank those people who buy it first, because they became the sacrificial lamb to test the ps4 first xD

60GB PS3 still the best one, they took out features with each release <.<;

obviously put a 500GB+ drive in it. I like my backwards compatibility.

I still have 2 fully working no issues, in fact there are 4 fully working in the house. Before anyone comments on original PS3 overheating, it doesn't happen if they are in a ventilated area..

Previously reps said we choose our hair color from 192 color selection. Now Triairy confirming you can do the same for skin/eyes/hair mesh.

We're planning to increase the available colors for hair up to 192 colors......
Would be nice if you can add the color you like to different parts.
Also for the ver 1.x Lalafel (This char) I carefully picked the color.

---

現時点では、肌、瞳、髪、メッシュ、特徴の色を192色に対応する予定です:)
At current stage we are planning to be able to have 192 colors for the skin, eyes, hair, and mesh :)

---

I would like to see more hair parts like kappa rather than hair + mesh (2). Have mesh-1, mesh-2 or something. By default have mesh-2 copy mesh-1 settings like regular FFXIV and if you want to change to additional color then you may do so. I guess it's too late for that now since that would mean they have to change the model design of the hair :(
** Talk about it in another thread plz, thx**

NOTE: Mesh = highlights. Looked up 'hair mesh' on google and showed correct stuff so used that word but I guess it's better to go by highlights.

Statues of the twelve (some) in Beta

Some of the twelve such as Nophica has been illustrated but I think it would be cool if you can illustrate the rest of the twelve for the users. Don't need to have the details about them, just release the image so users can use their imaginations and discuss about it. I think that would be fun.

---

現時点では、十二神全てのイラスト化は未定ですが、
βテストの範囲には十二神のうちいずれかが石像として登場する予定ですので、
テストに参加される方は、ぜひ見つけてみてください:cool:
なお、今後もこういった形で世界設定を感じられるようにお見せしていく予定です:)
Current we don't have plans to make illustrations for all the twelve however within beta test, we're planning to have some of them in a statue form. So for those of you participating in beta, please look for it. :cool:
Also, we're planning to this type of method so you can feel the lore :)

Just walked in office, had to take son to dentist.
Checking on the rep post right now.

Compass direction on the minimap.

新生版では、ミニマップの方角がキャラクター視線の方向基準に変更できるようになりました。
また、現行版と同様にミニマップの方角を固定することも可能で、これはオプションの設定で自由に切り替えることができます。
βテスト開始時の段階から、こちらの機能は利用することが可能ですので、
βテスター当選のあかつきには、ぜひ利用してみてください:)

Good evening,
We have an update to the minimaps compass direction.
In ARR you will be able to switch the minimaps compass direction to be same as the direction your character is facing. Just like ver 1.x, it is still possible to lock the compass direction so you can choose freely through option settings.
You will be able to try this feature out from the start of Beta test so please try it out :)

More character parts may be hard to impelement.

I believe there are many features you can choose from now but when you look at it, it still feels like it's lacking on parts you can choose from.
(Looked at her post, she's talking about parts other than hair.)

---

確かにパーツの数が増えると、キャラクター作成の幅が広がるので
出来るものならいくらでも欲しいところではあります。
しかし、パーツの数を増えるとキャラクター情報のパケットが増えてしまい、
ネットワークトラフィックに大きな影響を与えてしまう可能性があります。
日本のインフラ環境は、世界的に見ても良い方だと思いますが、
新生FFXIVは日本以外の地域でもサービスが行われますので、
パーツの追加に関しては、他の地域のインフラ状況を参考にしつつ、
慎重に検討を行う必要があります。
...という事情はあるものの、パーツに関するご要望を受け付けないということはありませんので、
「こういったパーツが欲しい！」というご意見がありましたら、
引き続きフィードバックをいただければと思います:)
If we can increase the amount of parts it allows to expand the character creation, so if can we want to add as much as we can.
However, by increasing the amount of parts the characters information (data) packet increases and that could cause a major effect to network traffic. Japans enviroment is pretty good when looking from world, but FFXIV ARR is serviced throughout the world so in regards to character parts, we have to carefully check other regions infrastructure.
...although we have that reason, it doesn't mean we're not taking in any ideas regarding parts so if you have ideas/comments on "I want this type of parts!" please continue to leave feedbacks. Thanks :)

In ARR some items will be bound to your character.

The item bind that was mentioned in the 4th Producer Letter Live, does this apply to other characters under the same account as well?

---

バインドされたアイテムに関しては、
同一アカウント内のキャラクターであっても受け渡しをすることができない予定です。
Regarding items that has been bounded.
Even if it's characters under the same account we are planning to not allow items to be sent/received.

For ex/rare, rare items (green, light blue, purple) I believe it will be bound to your character. But will this also apply to those items that has multiple materias melded onto them?

---

錬精度が1以上溜まることでバインド化する想定のため、
この条件を満たしていない物であれば、他のキャラクターと受け渡しを行うことはできます。
なお、もともと受け渡しができないアイテム(Ex属性など)の場合は、
バインド化の有無に関わらず受け渡しは出来ません。
The idea is that if you get more than 1 spirit bond point, the item will be bound to your character. Therefore, if it doesn't meet this requirement (Item having 0 spirit bond points) you will be able to trade with other characters.
For items which you can't trade in the first place (such as Ex status items) no matter if the item is bound to your character or not you will not still not be able to trade them.

While in PT or battle, even if I have the chat windows separated lots of log is sent and because of that LS chat window starts disappearing quickly.Therefore I would like the chat log to be kept a little longer.

---

開発内部としても、現状表示可能なログの量が少ないという認識はあるため、
将来的には、より多くのログを残すことができるように検討しています。
The development side also believes the amount of log available to be displayed is not enough. In future, we are looking into being able to store much more log.

Being able to customise more features other than hair customisation and the existing options (boobs, tail, face etc) will cause the game to slow down in some way?
Or
Adding more hairstyle options will cause the game to slow down in some way? (Lame excuse alert!)

Can someone clear this up?

Anyway that person is right character creation is nowhere near what people want from what I have seen, whatever that may be. If I haven't seen enough of CC then it is because SE are either hiding something great or something rubbish. No I will never be satisfied, doesn't mean they should ever stop trying. FFXIV1.0 CC was insultingly limited.

What I got was that they totally can add more parts but that adding more parts requires larger data packets (more information needs to be sent for the game to display characters - server sends more, player needs more).

And they said while Japan is ok with a larger packet else where may not be, or something like that (not specified where the problem may be, just that some people can have issues displaying characters if the packet is larger and they're not getting it fast enough).

We'll see more hair styles from Phase 3 if I remember correctly.

As for other parts, it's other than hair like say more tatoos or more tail style (maybe). I'm not 100% sure either just throwing out my guesses.

And what Shougun said above this post :p

This translation was confusing to me. By "bind/bound" they are referring to the spirit bond aspect of gear, correct? If so, you should alternate the words from "bond/bonded" instead, since those are the words we are familiar with in regards to spirit bonding and all that fun stuff.

Sorry if I'm being a nag xD

Firstly, thankyou for replying.
Secondly, wouldn't the regional servers we are supposed to be getting make that irrelevant.?
Thirdly, do you have a large packet, and are you getting it fast enough?

I think there was a dev response to that in English not too long ago. I'll see if I can find it.

Wait what?

Regional servers indeed should fix most of that - the problem seems to only exist in places that have bad connection and/or have no regional server. Imo the problem isnt with the US so long as they are not using dial up lol.

Rein as Vil said, I want to verify. So if you use the armor at all it will be bound to you and you can no longer trade/share it? I wonder if that is their way of making it so you can have easier materia melds (so materia doesn't flood the system), and things will still be bought because while not being broken it cannot be resold.

hmm. Makes the guild bank a little scarier lol (But I like less frustrating materia and still good economy)

Mmm it's different from spirit bond as in ver 1.x you could still trade items that had say 50% spirit bond point already and stuff right? This one is saying once you get even over 1% or higher you won't be able to trade that item. But let me change the wording to bond/bonded like you suggested.

Edit: After checking the definitions and all that it should be bound/bounded as the items are bounded to the character and different from spirit bond.

Yep this is what it means. If you use the armor and get even 1% spirit bond it's bound to your character and becomes untradable.

In ver 1.x if you meld a materia onto that gear it reset the spirit bond to 0% right... can't remember... I thought it did. So it's possible to trade/sell after melding materia onto them??

I'm pretty sure it was translated as intended. They are talking about bonded items, but in regards to them BINDING to your character if there is more than one materia attached, I think.

If anyone here has played Guild Wars 2 think of the Soulbind system. Once you equip something and earn that set amount of points. It will become untradeable.

There is more but I am not really able to say.

Okay, that makes sense. Bound as in bound to your characters inventory. Confusing since they mention both topics in the same response XD

He's just saying he's not ready to leave or doesn't want to leave cuz he hates flying... and the first part he's saying if he does leave he may not get back in time for the P.Letter Live. He's just joking. He'll do fine as he did in the past + without him there won't be any P. Letter Live :p

Too bad there isn't any mini FFXIV event for the fans to meet up and cheer him out lol

As Rein mentioned, pretty sure this has to do with "Bind on Equip" as is common in most MMOs these days. So from what Rein was saying, once you've done something to accumulate spiritbind on a piece of equipment (aka kill one monster) you're no longer able to trade or market that equipment.

I can't remember honestly, but I don't know how many people are going to spiritbond stuff and then add materia later to it to sell. I think most people would start with a newly crafted piece of gear and then add materia to it to sell or use.

Sorry Rein for responding in here and not in a new thread lol


But for example i had a sword(to long removed from my character to remember names lol) with enmity materia melded on it, then later i got a newer better sword(Mog blade maybe?) I had it repaired and then sold it for alot of gil, this new system would eliminate that from happening and promote people to craft more.

As always, thanks Rein for translating that for us!

Are there any clues as to when the next "Live" Letter will take place?
