Yeah =/

I mean, I'm all for exploring, but going into areas that have no use or lack anything interesting is pretty pointless. Although, I have collected all the aetherites, so...I dunno lol

This one is regarding map markers.

Thanks for the suggestions!

お寄せいただいた内容は、開発チームへしっかりと届けています。
We are sending the collected information to the dev team.

さて、今回はマーカーの保存方法（以下のご要望）について回答いたします。
I would like to answer regarding saving method for the markers (below suggestions)

Please make the marker information client side. Also (including macro information) but be able to save the information on the server and be able to load the information on another PC or PS3, just like FF11

書き込みに加えてこれは非常に欲しい機能だと思いました。
ネットカフェやホテルから接続するときにサーバから読み込めばすぐに環境が整うのがとてもありがたかったです。
I would also like to add on since I would really like this feature.
When in net cafe or connecting from the hotel if you can load the information from the server it will match my environment so it would be great.

---

クライアント側に保存できるようにした場合、皆さんが設定したマーカーが、MAP改修後にズレてしまう可能性があります。
When making the information saved on client side, it's possible that the markers everyone placed may get shifted (moved around) once the overall map changes are made.

なんとも悩ましいところではあるのですが、上記のような理由から中途半端なものを導入するよりもキチンとした機能として利用してもらうべく、サーバー側へ保存するものとして、実装方法を検討している最中です。
This is a troublesome issue but due to above reason we don't want to implement something that's not working correctly, so we are looking into implementing this one by saving the information to the server side.

実装のタイミングは以前お伝えした通りですので、引き続きご意見などありましたらどしどしお寄せください。
For the implementation timing; it is same as what we have mentioned in the past (they said when server change/repair is gonna be made) so if you have any further suggestions please let us know.

Well they did say they have that guy from Eorzea Ironhart who already completed the map so I'm guessing it's more like you have his map and you are making changes to it? like nanawa mines his map shows all the path but actually some path is closed off due to rocks blocking the path. And for the new maps you have to either obtain the map through quest or whatever or you actually walk to make you own map.

Personally I'm all for this auto-mapping changes since I'm old school RPG player lol

I should wonder when the map changes will actually go into effect; they've been very vague about that. Jump has seen a similar outcome. At one point it was confirmed beyond a doubt that it was coming, now it's just sort of faded into obscurity without even any mention in the future patch notes.

words that often return

jump is pointless

^^ Couldn't agree more. I'm sure it sounds simple but there is animations for each race and i'm sure objects may need to get reworked so you don't get stuck at all the crazy angles u land. Not worth the investment at all.

think you missed the point

I assumed you were drawing a parallel between map reconstruction and jumping. How they have both been initially mentioned, got us all excited, and then no more details have come out. That is how I interpreted your post. However, I went off on a tangent and agreed with Forbin.

Very very good!

This one is continuation of what he posted yesterday (or day before) and bay posted official translation so I'll post a link to that one in a bit (looking for it)
updated: His added comment was this one I translated today http://goo.gl/j2e7n which is a thread talking about the UI changes that was posted on lodestone topics in all languages. (this: http://goo.gl/GxhQW)

この仕様の最も良い点は、皆さんのプレイヤーコミュニティ内で「簡易共通言語」ができることなのです。
MMORPGは、コンソールのスタンドアローンRPGに比べ、リアルタイム性が高く、仕様も難解で、
長期運用となると、アイテム数は数千を越えます。
The good thing about this feature is that within the player community this will be a "common language" (same with other games). MMORPG compared to standalone console RPG involves much more real time and the specifics are much more complicated, on top of that if it involves long term service the amount of items will go over few thousand.

アイテムの数が多くなると、名称も長くなりがちですし、アイテム自体が成長したりすると、
パラメータも多くなり、とても「わかりにくく」なります。
When amount of items increase the naming will also get longer, and when item itself evolves the parameters increases and makes it much more harder to understand.

新しくエオルゼアを訪れたプレイヤーの方は、自分のキャラクタを強くするために、
装備を手に入れようとするわけですが、数あるアイテムの中から、
何を装備して良いのかわかりません。
特に推奨装備の場合には、適正かどうかも、ぱっと見わかりません。
For new players arriving to Eorzea, to make their characters better they have to obtain equipment but from the numbers of items available they wont know what's the optimal equipment to get. With optimal equipment they wouldn't even know if that gear is best for them just by looking right away.

ですので、皆さんのような熟練冒険者や、加入したてのLSメンバーに、
きっとこんな質問をします。
Therefore for players like you all in here, when they join new LS they may questions something like this.

「どれを装備したらいいのですか？」
「クエストで手に入れたこの武器は強いですか？」
What should I equip?
Is the weapon from this quest strong?

その時に、非常に長いアイテム名を打ち込んだり、
説明しようとしても、とても手間がかかりますし、
初心者の方には、どうしても、難しい説明になってしまいます。
細かいことは、あとで徐々に覚えれば良いので、
まずはエオルゼアを楽しんで欲しいですよね。
When that happens if the item name is long they have to type all that, or to even explain it will take some time to explain, for new players it will be explanation that might be too hard to understand, so for more detailed information they can learn as they play along and would like for them to first enjoy the world of Eorzea.

そんな時
So in that case

「えーと、自分から見て緑色に見えるアイテム装備しとけば、とりあえず大丈夫だよ！:)」
「装備が弱くなったらグレーに変わるから、そしたら、次の装備さがすといいよー！:D」
Umm when looking at the gear if you equip the gear that's green it should be OK for now! :)
When equipment got weaker it will change gray so you should start looking for new gear after that! :D
「それを守れば、序盤は見た目で決めちゃってOK!:p」
If you can keep that in mind, it's ok to choose just by looks :p
「アイテムの名前が青色のアイテムは、性能がいいから売ったり捨てたりしちゃダメだよ！」
If the item name is blue it has good stuff so don't sell or trash it!

といったように、簡単に説明してあげることができます。
You can explain it simply like above.

MMORPGは、プレイヤーコミュニティあってのゲームです。
そこに「わかりやすく、短い共通言語」があるのは、とても大切だと思うのです。
MMORPG is a game where it involves player community.
In there I believe having short common language is very important.

ですので、この仕様にON/OFFをつけてしまうと、共通言語にならなくなってしまいます。
少なくともデフォルトはONでなければ、実装の意味がなくなります。
Therefore having a ON/OFF feature to this will take away that common language, at least have the default to set it to ON or it wont have any meaning to this implementation.

皆さんが「ファイナルファンタジー」に、愛情とプライドを持ってプレイしてくださってるのは、
とても熱く我々開発に伝わっています。
吉田も開発チームも、運営チームも、愛情とプライドを持って開発／運営させて頂いています。
The dev team really understand your love and pride towards "Final Fantasy" and the dev team and myself included, and the management team also have love and pride.

「カラフルにしてしまって、美観を損ねて欲しくない！」
Don't want to lose the beauty of this game by making it too colorful!

というご意見も、よくわかってはいるのですが、
「ファイナルファンタジーのMMORPG」として、ひとりでも多くの人に「わかりやすく」「仲良く」
プレイして頂くために、必要な仕様だと思って実装しました。
This type of comment, I really understand, but as "Final Fantasy MMORPG" to make it more understandable by more players and for them to enjoy, have fun playing, I believe this is a feature that is required and implementing.

実装後、上記のようなやりとりが、チャット上で行われる機会が、必ずあると思います。
もし、そんな機会があったら、このポストを思いだしてくれると嬉しいです:o
After implementation is above type of chat conversation will probably happen, if that happens if you could please remember this post would appreciate it :o

or making the non-equipable gear gray

の方が分かりやすいかな、と思うのですが。
慣れれば気にならなくなるのかな
I think like above is easier to understand, but if they get used to it I guess it doesn't really matter maybe.

はい:)
パッチ1.19後に、こういった方向でフィードバック頂けると、
とても嬉しく思います！
Yes :)
This is the kind of feedback I would like to see after patch 1.19.
Would greatly appreciate it!

…ただ、色は感覚ですし、個人差がどうしてもあります。
また、他の有名MMORPGと、「ある程度」合わせた方が、
「MMORPG市場」との言語共有が可能という側面もあるのです。
...however the color is just for feeling, so everyone will have different thoughts about this.
Also doing this makes it possible to share the language (language here meaning the item coloring system) in a MMORPG market, so it's better to have it [somewhat] close to other famous MMORPG is good.

いずれ、できるだけ多くのプレイヤーを他のMMORPGからうばいとｒ（ry
…おっと、本音が:p
In future would like to stea... as much players from other MMORP...
... oops my truth came out :p

In patch 1.19, the "poem" orz will finally be in game (laugh) please also think of that when imagining (saying orz because his nickname in JP community by some is Poekichi, the poem guy)

---

Poem he's referring to is something he posted way back last december (or January) about up coming changes to world of Eorzea.

Didn't see official translation for this one but saw similar post in the past about this... but anyways...

Regarding food and what stats they give.

Regarding food and drink effects which currently you can't see until you drink/eat, at earliest we are planning to make it show the food effect in the item help with patch 1.20.

フィードバックありがとうございました！
Thanks for the feedback!

There is another post but it's about in-game story related about Princess Edvia?? dunno spelling, has lots of in-game terms so might be wrong if JP and NA versions has different naming.

There is also post about how many posts can be made per thread, since JP are used to 2ch which only allows up to 1000 posts per thread, just confirming it doesn't have a 1000 cap/limit.

And 2 threads just being closed responded by rep, one which was name calling a staff within a thread and another where they made part 2 of the thread since the JP players thought the first thread was getting too long.

Cute baby. My second one comes in December. That is when life is really going to get hectic. I dread the day they team up against the parents.

Congratulations

Can you elaborate on what might be meant with the FPS comment?

こんばんは。
Good Evening

よ～～～し次は１５ｆｐｓだな
OK~~~ so next is 15 FPS
技術的には15fps自体を実装することは可能です。
Technically it's possible to implement 15fps

ただし、まずはパッチ1.19にて30fpsをお試しいただければと思います。
However, first we would like for you to try the 30fps in patch 1.19.

PCの環境は人それぞれ違いますので、フィードバックをいただきながら、
その上で、15fpsの実装検討を含め、快適な動作のために対応は継続して行っていきます。
PC's environment varies depending on the person, therefore we would like to receive feedbacks first then on top of that be able to look into releasing 15fps and continue to make other changes which may ease (make it more enjoyable) the play.

The game's framerate is already uncapped meaning it can hit 60 fps or higher. All most want is for the game to be optimized so its not unnecessarily taxing on hardware that should be able to maintain a steady 50-60 easily. I know its just a quick translation, but it just seems odd to talk about implementing a specific framerate...especially something like 15fps.

I think the game is capped at 60fps, because the game heats your system too much otherwise.

Somebody asked for a 15fps cap (god knows why), the rep responded that they'll implement a 30fps cap first and would like him to try that.

A 30fps cap can be useful if your system can't get to 60fps regularly enough.

Wouldn't a 15fps cap mean the game would appear jumpy and lose smooth movement?

I remember back when 60fps was the norm to run games at instead of 30fps.

Still if it stops the fauna of Black Shroud from chewing your frame-rate, it's got to be an improvement.

Yeah you'd certainly notice it. It makes no sense to ask for it.

30fps is still okay, 60 of course being even better.

So someone really did ask for a 15fps cap...thats just insane. 30 I can see though. A smooth 30 still looks and plays nice.

６０ｆｐｓ＝温度80℃ファン78％
３０ｆｐｓ＝　　　70℃ファン67％
１５ｆｐｓ＝　　　６５℃ファン50％（FF11並
Fan 60fps = 78% Temperature 80 ℃
Fan 30fps = 70 ℃ 67%
Fan 15fps = 65 ℃ 50% (just as FF11

This might be the point.Fan is loud and the room gets hot so, they want to make the fps low.What is fps anyways?

Frames Per Second.

Makes sense, you can turn it on when you're craft grinding late at night or something.

frame per second, aka the frequence of photograms which video are made. An highter valuse mean a more fluid video. Related to videogames, a low cap to frames make the software skip some animation frame, so the game take less hardware resurce but make the game like it's PGs have wood joints.
Also, 15 fps cap it's way too little, so instead of wood joints the end result would be rock solid joints :||

Well I honestly would never use a 15fps cap for actual gameplay, but if I'm crafting/fishing while watching movies and capping at 15fps reduces power consumption or heating... I would probably use it in those sort of situations.

Lower-specced computers would benefit from a 15fps cap as it would prevent it from trying to over-exert itself.

Having the option in the config menu would be better than having it forced. That way the minority of players who would want it can still access it without inhibiting others.

It HAS to be the chocobo tune, every FF game that let's you ride a chocobo has it but they remix it every time. If S.E didn't put in the chocobo theme tune to go with riding a chocobo it'd be the biggest act of commercial suicide in the history of video games! XD

Auto-Map sounds awesome~

Will it be implemented globally as part of the zone redesign (and we lose our current maps) or will it just be for new/undiscovered areas?
