Does the last sentence imply the jump has more complex design here?

Hopefully we'll know before 2012...!

Since Yoshida is a big EQ fan, I imagine it will be similar. Not used in battle strategy or to cross distances, but to get up simple ledges and such.

it takes about 6 months to create one full set of equipment that maintains FFXIV's high standards of graphics

lol I'm more confused by his reply than by your confirmation. If it's not for covering long distances or battle tactics, what's it for?

Maybe this finally gives some perspective to people thinking these things get done with a snap of a finger.

It's like this is any MMO. Remodeling is much faster I would imagine, or just recoloring.

And we are getting SEVEN completely new armor designs with jobs. It's a lot for any game.

Now imagine how long it takes to revamp the areas. Expansion-scale amount of work right there.

Wow, Rukkirii! You sure are beautiful! and Awesome job with the post! Thanks! (^_^)v

Look at the FFXIV youtube channel and look at the old Eorzea videos where they show you how in game models are made. It will start to make a little more sense.

Yeah, then you'll have some say "I can do it in a day blah blah" yet show no proof of it. They also don't show their programmed stats/ability enhancements.

Buttons better not be sleeping at a time like this!

Anyone that thinks they can do programming stuff in MMORPG faster than SE should recall, or learn what happen in FFXI yesterday. There was a small update to FFXI which cause a very game breaking glitch, which basically have cure do 99999 damage to all undead mobs.

It's a perfect case in point on how difficult working on MMORPG can be. IT could cause very random glitches or bugs that could break the game.

Bottomline is: Anyone that claims "I can do this shit faster" very likely have no idea what they are talking about or how MMORPG works.

oh my god! The man gets so little sleep!!!! D= I'm going to shut my mouth and stop complaining now. Lesson learned, much apologies yoshida =(.

Now get more sleep =D!

That's just spaghetti code.

XIV has it's share of bugs but they are usually actually related to the modified feature in question... in XI you get bugs like when the scholar job was implemented with spells that modify the player's weather status, at the same time some completely unrelated monster types self-healing ability that is based on weather broke and healed for a lot more than it should.

It can be hilarious.

Instant... dead? undead mobs. Sounds as much fun as frustrating. :)

Point taken though.

INTERVIEW ME !!!!!!

Don't forget, equipment in FFXIV is designed not just for a 1 time use. They have designed all the gear so it can be readily tweaked by the engine in order to create a completely new piece of equipment that has similar visual qualities, but a different overall look. Check out the making of videos, you'll see.

Why? Floating goblins isn't a ground-breaking or game-making idea. There's no merit in rearranging another person's work and claiming it as your own.

It's better then fighting a Puk that isn't even a different color, looks the same, only difference, it has a different name.

Yoshi-P starts casting Sleepga IV on Yoshi-P.
Yoshi-P is asleep.
The Troll hits Yoshi-P for 9000 damage!
Yoshi-P is no longer asleep!

That reminds me of a story.

I ventured out into Skull Valley for the first time and cut my teeth on some Puk Hatchlings. Those wee little Puk Hatchlings, so tiny yet so vicious. I wonder what the adult puks are going to look like...dragons?

I was very disappointed when I saw that the adult puks looked exactly the same as the "hatchlings".

Poor Bayohne :(!

Is it just me, or did he talk about PVP...... ALOT. Talking about how difficult lallafel are to target in pvp and what not. Is this something to come in the future??

Unless YoshiP is like Snorlax and used Rest to recover all his HP instead.

Matt!
aka "Bayohne"

You need to jump onto one of the gamer escape podcasts like you did a few years ago and get the community pumped again.
Also an art contest or screenshot 'hide n' seek' would be awesome!
I believe in you!

Thanks for the interview, Community Team! I wish I could have my picture taken with Yoshi-P T_T. Anyway I agree with the general consensus, Rukkirii is very attractive.

Ditto :)

/10 char

What kinda "annoys" me is the fact that the initial german Q&A is not even up in the german board yet...

I would have translated the most important stuff for this thread if there would be anything to translate yet >.<

I hope the german Q&A will be up early tomorrow...if the english translation would be up before the actual german Q&A I will be pissed lol

I enjoyed reading this ^^ Thanks for the interview!

May I thank the Awesome Youmukon and the Beautiful Rukkirii for their Bacon Interview, which has been answered by Monsieur Yoshi-P!

Awesome stuff! Thanks guys!

That was Awesomesauce! I love our Community rep even more now <3 It Was really nice to hear that the Devs, and Rep is working hard, While Yoshi does need some seerious sleep!

P.S. Rukkirii needs to start watching her back :D

Thanks for this interview, i hope interviews an QAs in the futute remains this way, it is very informative and pleasant to read.
