Letter From the Producer IX.

I wonder what the crazy synthesis translations he was talking about are?

Quests hubs and low level dungeons? The more and more they do, the more I lose hope for this game. Seems they ARE going to the direction of WOW clone, I'll just have to wait and see. Low level dungeons and quest hubs is not something this game needed at all, it only needed these things if they wanted it to be a WOW clone -_-

I look forward to the battle changes, but now I'm more scared than ever for this games future, sigh.

Instead of stupid copy/paste "dungeons" from WOW they could've added a new chain of missions(or deleted old ones and added these) that are group based and make us explore muytuy, cassie, mistbeard cove, copperbell mines, etc etc. If you've actually been to the higher level dungeons you'd see how they're actually really cool and look awesome deeper in. They also could've made them bigger, and made the missions have us fight to something that would pop a NM/multiple nms,(or BCNM doors) and have a story behind it with cutscenes. The fights could've been EXTREMELY CHALLENGING as well, COP difficulty. Would've been more FF like and just as good, have the missions also give rewards or something, maybe even unique crafting mats to make unique armor, maybe special skills only available if you complete the missions, idk.

i noticed the gridania forest same look <.<
maybe wrong traduction when we speek about copy/paste world?

Lovin' those Quest Hub areas. They seem much livelier than anything else we've seen. They don't look copy+pasted. Looks great! Thanks for finding this and posting it

Earliest at mid-June? I will be way into summer school already.... wth D:
I plan on hearing battle plans soon like he stated

They might be using the same types of things, but that's what people enjoy. I'm sure all of these things they are releasing will have their own Final Fantasy-esque feel to them.

Well in the Core interview they did say the dungeon is more like western MMOs than FFXI, which sucks but eh it's what people want. I rather have dungeons that are found in FF games though. Guess we'll see.

Um yeah, Gridania looks like Gridania.

Seems things at SE are still moving at a glacially slow pace. Yeah Shiyo, I sympathize. In that gamestop video someone posted earlier the reviewer ripped on a number of things, none of which was dungeons or quest hubs. How long is it going to take before we get a functioning UI? 1 year after release? Sigh...

The UI is functional.

Do you open your menu and it refuses to load?

Do you click on equipment and it errors out?

Do you type in the chat client and it returns Debug: 00x2837?

I'm failing to see these "low level dungeons" you speak of. Unless I've just gone completely blind, I do believe I see dungeons for ranks 30 and 50, which are quite the opposite of "low level."
