Idling camera
This new feature allows players to enjoy characters and environments from different angles. Idling camera is like a screensaver where it’ll focus the camera on various objects near the player randomly. This feature will also apply a depth of field effect. Please try it out in different areas, you might find something new!
Group pose feature
I believe it was sometimes difficult to pose for commemorative pictures, so it will be possible to use this command to capture everyone’s poses perfectly. It will be easier than ever to take a picture striking that perfect pose, so please try it out!
Difficulty adjustments to certain dungeons and trials
We will be re-adjusting various 2.x dungeons and trials, such as Garuda, for new players.
Players will be able to try on several different pieces of gear at once. With this feature, players will be able to coordinate their gear easier.
Addition of new mini-games
We will be adding the 1.0 gathering system as new mini-games in the Gold Saucer.
A Gold Saucer category will be added to the weekly Challenge Log, and it will be possible to plan out how you earn you MGP.
Ninja’s Mudra
We’re implementing an adjustment to address the lag behavior. This will depend on the player’s environment, so we cannot guarantee the overall speed will be faster; however, it should feel much smoother than before. Please try it out and leave us your feedback.
Additionally, as part of a job adjustment, we’re making detailed adjustment such as ninja/paladin’s TP, and other adjustments to bard and astrologian.
Void Ark
It will be possible to purchase enhancement materials with an item known as ancient coins (name pending). While it’s a bit difficult at the moment to confirm this for sure, we are planning to start off by implementing the enhancement items for armor and accessories that can be purchased with Allagan tomestones of esoterics. Weapons will be a bit in the future.
The Minstrel’s Ballad: Thordan’s Reign
This will be a different from The Minstrel’s Ballad: Ultima, and it will be closer to an “extreme” difficulty. I believe it will be more difficult than Ravana extreme. It’s at a difficulty that can be enjoyed by those who have cleared Alexander Gordias (Savage) area 1. Originally we had planned to created 13 phases since it was Knights of the Round, but ultimately we made 10. We adjusted the battle so that it would be easy to clear for the main scenario, but the Minstrel’s Ballad: Thordan’s Reign is closer to the original balance planned by the developers. There are really good weapons on tap as rewards, and I think this will help those that are currently stuck on Alexander Gordias (Savage) area 3 and 4. Naturally, this isn’t a raid, and it can be cleared by those that have not challenged savage.

Q14: In general what does the item team in charge of?
A14: Our team creates items such as equipment and crafting materials. There are about 500 to 800 items per patch. Also, for Patch 3.0, we had about 2,000 items. We also create quest rewards and item exchange shops.
Q15: What is your favorite minion, and which minion was the most difficult to create?
A15: The fighting action between Wind-up Louisoix and Wind-up Bahamut. It was the day when the game data needed to be finalized and this was an order from Yoshida, so it was implemented extremely quickly.
Q16: Can you tell us of any secret minion features we haven’t discovered yet?
A16: If you cook close to the fat chocobo minion that you can purchase with MGP, it will start doing it’s sniffing animation more frequently.
Q17: Do you plan on making adjustments in the future to items such as Phoenix Down, elemental materia, and potions, which are not used very frequently by players?
A17: Since there is a high possibility that balance is destroyed when using Phoenix Downs in high-end battle content, we’ll be keeping them as they are currently.
