Sure they won't be wearing their "leet sword of uberness", but at least they should be well equipped if they want fast solid results.


Besides the place where you want the truly buff gear is in NM/HNM/Dungeon parties, it's not absolutely necessary for your standard grind parties. Not to mention that it gives rank 50's a reason to come party with the rank 43-49s.

The biggest thing this does is give crafters a market for gear on a continuous basis. Since the existing gear goes bye bye when you convert it into materia, this means that people will want to either buy specific pieces to spirit bond with or replace the items they've converted to materia on a regular basis. Boom instant market. Thank god there's a simplified crafting system coming in or all the crafters would be screaming for inventory space... F. that, I'll still be screaming for inventory or vendor space. I'll take either, both would be preferable.

I think they mean their +3s and rare ex gears. the hq, because they dont want to destroy it, and the rare ex because it wont actually be able to make materia.

For them, being able to transition your old gear into materia will be a very smooth, intuitive process that happens as they level up, not something they have to go back and grind. The same will hold true for experienced players once more new content comes out. :p

there isnt much reason for a high level guy to grind old gear in this system, since the high level gear is good. Well since it is tiered, they may go to the lowest weapon in that tier, but really they will probably go to the cheapest in whatever tier.

Hey Rein, I remember seeing a post where a dev talked about Arcanist and compared it to Geomancer. Do you remember this post or know where it is? I can't find it anywhere. :(


I could have dreamed it though..

Right, when I said sub-par, I didn't mean you have to gimp yourself...just use older gear from the last 10 levels or so. Or for me, I can switch out my [item=5030108]Astaroth Cane[/item] for my old [item=5030205]Jade Crook[/item].

I just wanted to note the difference between current high-leveled characters and new players, or people starting out in a new class. Whereas we'll be going back and making a concerted effort to go and grind for Materia (potentially having to buy even more gear in the process if we happened to sell our old Jade Crooks, for example... /tear), new players won't really need to experience this grind, since they can continuously turn each of their weapons into Materia to attach to their next weapon.

Your second part brings up a good point though. Of course, it depends on which weapons will yield certain Materia, but once the system is figured out I'm sure most people will in fact start buying the cheapest weapons they can to achieve the same results. Why turn a Jade Crook into Materia IV, for example, when a cheaper weapon will yield the same results? It'll be interesting to see if they accounted for that.

Quotations forthcoming (hopefully soon). Yoshi-p left two more comments this morning. (Please use the auto-translate function)(Can I have it?)

Looking forward to translations.

One post seems to be about the japanese name of attachment, but the other seems to have some details on the Materia system (Google translate seems to 100% confirm that materia can't be attached to Rare/Ex gear but it might be doable in further updates, that players will be able to attach the first materia themselves with kits, etc ...).

Producer/Director Yoshida here,

金曜夜（土曜朝になってしまいましたが）の吉田のポスト以降、
一通り皆さんのフィードバックは読ませて頂きました！
明日以降小まめにレスはつけさせて頂こうと思いますが、
今日は確認諸々山のようにあるので、速報で失礼します :(
After the post I made on Friday (became Saturday (JP time)), I read through everyones feedbacks!
After tomorrow I would like to make smaller responses but today I have a lot of things to check today so going to post this one quickly :(

・「愛着度」の名称については変更を検討中（大切なことなのでご意見を参考に！）
Planning to change the name "Aichakudo" (This is important so look through suggestions!) (I think this may only apply to JP locale naming)
・EX/RAREのアイテムのマテリア化は次回更新で検討
Will look into next change for materializing ex/rare item.
　（EX/RAREでもマテリア化の際に優遇パラメータ無し、という前提で）
(even with EX/RARE no favorable parameters )
(I think this just means it will be materialized just like any regular equipment materia, no special effect/treatment.)
・EX/RAREへのマテリア装着は当面不可（コンテンツアップデート次第）
・計算式改修が同時に入りますのでパラメータ+1の重みが出るようになります（松井頑張ってます！）
Attaching materia to Ex/Rare will not be possible for now (depends on content update)
Calculation changes are coming in at same time so will make sure the +1 parameter will weigh more (more effect) (Matsui is working hard on this one!)

　（それを見越してマテリアの各数値も調整されています。現在も最終追い込み中）
The values on materia parameters are being adjusted along with this, currently being checked till last minute.
・副道具/副用具もマテリア化・マテリア装着可能です（書き漏れしました…）
Sub-Tool/Sub-gear is also can be made into materia, and can have materia attached. (missed to post...)

速報の最後に。
fast conclusion.
マテリアクラフトの導入システムは「クエスト」として追加されます。
Materia craft system will be included through a quest.

また、仕様をすべて書きだして行くと、確かに複雑には見えますが、
ひとつのアイテムに、ひとつのマテリアをはめる行為そのものは、
部位によって装着可能なマテリア効果条件はありますが、
装着自体は、失敗も無く、強化されるのみですので、さほど複雑ではないと思っています。
あくまでスタートラインの仕組みです。
When writing down all the details for the materia craft it seems like a difficult system but attaching one materia to one item itself, although it has restriction on which part you can attach the materia but performing attachment itself doesn't have any failure (since its the first one) and it only makes the equipment better, so I don't think it's difficult.
Just talking basically about the start line.

パラメータに拘り、狙ったマテリア効果を求め始めると、
仕様詳細の把握が必要になります。が、それはゲームとして自然なことかと :)
できるだけパラメータは公式公開の方針でいきます！
Once you get into parameters, and aim for specific effect materia, it will require you to understand more about the system, but for a game I think that's natural :)
For parameters will try as much to release the information!
(I think he's talking about materia parameters, or which gear will become what materia - just my guess here.)

これから長い期間、アップデートしていくコンテンツですので、
むしろ「禁断」以外は、できるだけシンプルに作られています。
（吉田の説明が悪かったかもしれません）
This content (materia system) is a long term content so will be updated along the way, so aside from the forbidden it is made as much as possible to be simple.
(maybe my explanation previously was bad)

まずはパッチ1.19で、生み出されるマテリアに、皆さん一喜一憂して頂いて、
思い思いの自己強化して頂けたらなと思っています :)
First after patch 1.19 please try to make your own materia and try it out and from there power up along the way would appreciate it :)
(Basically try it out before saying this is not good! or w/e since some already worried about this system...)

ではまた、書き込みしますね！:D
See you all later (actual is: I'll post later) :D

---

This part might only apply to JP locale for the naming of the attachment point but I'll just translate and post it here with this one.

皆さんも引き続き良いアイデアありましたら、ポストをお願いします:D
確定しましたら、お知らせしますー！
We are looking into this while looking at all the names all of you have suggested and matching it!
If you have any good ideas please post :D
Once it's confirmed will let you know!

woo exactly 200 translations now on this thread (aside from interview tranlsations I posted) yay :)
Didn't even think it was 200 yet lol, was just like ooh went over 1000 posts so lemme check how many is actual translation and counted the OP stuff and with todays post was exactly 200 lol.

Anyways... useless info lol

Aye, the community appreciates it =)

JP side has a thread requesting to be able to sell all/multiple items at once, kind of like what MOST MMORPG has already you bring the items you want to sell into sell box, or just click and select multiple items and click sell and it sells everything at once... stuff like that. Rep responded to this one so here goes.

Delivered the suggestion to the dev team to be able to sell items all at once

一括売却のUI自体は作成することが可能ですが、
現在の通信の仕様上、1度にまとめて売却情報をサーバーに送ることができません。
そのためただ単に実装をしてしまうとマクロのように、一括売却すると、
1件1件処理が行われるようなとても奇妙な仕様になってしまいます。
It's possible to make the UI itself for selling all the items at once, but with current data communication method (server/client) it's not possible to send the sale item information to the server all at once. Due to that reason if making it where it sends the information one by one like a macro, it will show up selling one by one (instead of all at once) and will be weird. (like equipping gear macro, if it's send line by line to the server, it has to process line by line so instead of everything getting sold right away so can result in weird glitches, probably can lead to exploits also imo...)

このあたりの問題が解決可能か含め開発チームで検討を行っていきます。
フィードバックありがとうございました
Dev team will look into methods to see if this part of the problem can be solved
Thank you for the feedback

Server... /facepalm

still waiting for the server fix =/

Starting to get worried the server issues will be the new PS2. Makes you wonder if the foundation this game is build on is not solid. Having to sell items to npcs is a common task and shouldn't be so slow and non-responsive. I hope they can overcome some of this bizarre architecture.

Im now 100% sure SE can not fix the server. Its made in a way that it will never happen. i really am.... (of course i do not know anything about it but im starting o worry)

I think they should move their focus from gameplay to Server UL fixes Because we can not do anything inill its fixed...

チョコボの育成は、今後チョコボと一緒に戦うことが可能になる予定がありますが、その強化を行う手段が育成として現在想定されているところです。
For raising Chocobo, there are plans where you can fight along with the Chocobo so the raising features currently planned will be more towards for those purposes.

速度については、今後他の乗り物も実装されていきますので、その乗り物との兼ね合いを含め、検討していきます。
For speed, later we will be implementing other mounts so we will look into this along with those mounts.

オスとかメスとかも決められるのかな？
Can we choose between Male or Female?

For this times implementation all My Chocobo's are yellow only.
We are looking into if their will be other color chocobo's and also in what ways they will come into play. Please hang in there.

1.19が実装されて、いざチョコボに乗る生活が始まると、更に色々な意見や要望が出てくると思います。今後もフィードバックお待ちしております！
Once 1.19 is released and your lifestyle riding chocobo's start, there will probably be new comments or suggestions so please continue to give feedbacks, will be waiting for them!

GREEN CHOCOBO DO WANT. MAKE IT HAPPEN SE. ALSO CHOCO METEOR BWAHAHAHA

Wow! There was a lot of new info in that last one! Raising Chocobos? Chocobo knights? Other mounts? I hope we get our Cobyln mounts soon!

Seems like SE may benefit from hiring consultants to address the client/server communication issues that they keep explaining as being "road blocks" to addressing various issues.

wait so different color chocobo can get different abilities similar like in ff7? that is so cool

I think it has more to do with they want to finish adding content and core gameplay changes and then addressing the server side issues, which I assume they will want to do before they release the PS3 version of the game

Well if that is the case, they need to get their priorities straight. These server issues are the bane of the game's existence and are holding back so many improvements it's not even funny anymore.

They DID mention several times they were working on it, but it's been months since last time and honestly I'm really doubting they're going to do anything about it at all at this point.

It's mind boggling how they've let this go on for so long.

It will get fixed...at some point lol. I'm patient, so it doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother most other people.

btw I love your sig

SE's team have MULTIPLE teams implementing many different aspects of the game. I'm sure there is a server development team that has been working the whole time but may just wait on implementation till PS3. SE is very good at listening to us and are aware of their limitations. But come on, rebuilding a server from scratch cannot be easy.

It bothers me mainly because it's one of those things they mentioned and talked about so much, only to completely disappear and never talk about it again, as if we're going to forget about it.

I like the direction the game is going in and I think 1.19 will be great, but their attitude on some of these issues is ridicolous and I'm really not liking what they're doing about things (or worse, what they're NOT doing).

You can't tease us about stuff like public companies, party crafting and loads of things that only "server fixes" would allow and then never talk about it again.

If I were evil enough I would go as far as to say that "server fixes" are the ultimate scapegoat of either an incompetent dev team or just a lazy staff in general.

In fact I'm going to go ahead and say that's the case.

Thanks for the compliment btw.

Yeah. And the even bigger challenge will be seamlessly transferring the current system over to the new system. Since character wipes have been rules out, everything from the old system has to be preserved, and the switch-over has to be unnoticeable to the players. I am sure it is no easy engineering feat, especially for a team used to making games, not server software.

Unfortunately all we can do is watch and see what happens. I believe everything will come together in the end ^^

Someone start a Server-related thread and hope we can get some feedback from devs.

This is a quote from Famitsu someone posted on my thread about /equip macros - thought it might apply.

Famitsu: What kind of measures is being taken for inventory space as with armory system you will require to carry a lot of equipment?

Yoshida: might say not that again, but this will be after repairs to the root. Plan is already made but will need to be changed along with swapping the UI. Will try to make it by PS3 release but currently can’t give exact date on it yet.

Famitsu: What kind of system will it be?

Yoshida: Planning to give information through the forum regarding this but, for image being able to one touch to change gear that was set previously. The plan is to make it so it doesn’t take inventory space like crazy. Looking closely regarding this one.

huh? If you were referring this to the blue text in my transaltion that was my example trying to explain what they meant by line by line process like how current macro works for switching gear.

It was more a comment on how SE seems to be working on "root" / server communications for the ps3 release.

Fix the servers SE, ffs...god damn.
How many times must the players request it? Should be the top of the list by this point since so many people complain about it.

I know server programming takes a lot of time and work so pretty sure they are working on it full on and it's not like they just swap one part and it's over since they have to keep on monitoring and updating the codes for the program. Only thing I really want for them is to release some type of road-map that explains what they are working and their goals for estimate even if it doesn't happen by then what they would like to make it happen by X month.

That would be far better then, "this is impossible to implement because of the server, kthnx."

And YoshiP posts again at 3:40AM... lol time for me to translate
co-worker at work sick today so I gotta help her stuff first so might take a while to translate, we'll see :)
