General Questions for the FF14 Staff & Yoshi-P

very good OP
not hostile at all :)
i hope you get the answers your lookin for,
untill then i have "liked" and i will subscribe to keep up to date on where this thread is going

Another Shameless Bump.

*bumps into the thread*

*now has a stubbed toe...*

Stubbed toes suck D: but yeah, bump. I want to see how they answer to these great questions!

Not sure if you were aware OP, but the reason you're seeing a lot of RPers is because Besaid is the "official" RP server of FFXIV. Personally I play on Wutai and I haven't seen 1 RPer yet. Aside from that, those were some good questions, here's to hoping we get some answers.

I think that this question has now been answered, in-game, through the introduction of the some of the sidequests that are showing the players "the growing menace from Garlmond". Some of this revolves around Companies, and some does not.

I expect that there will be more content in said vein coming down the line.

Submitting reply voicing my support. The more people post here and like it, the more of a chance we have at getting a response.

Yes the two new side quests added to limsa deal heavily with the threat of the empire and there recent increase in activity. the new lower ranked quest even has a bit of a fight with a small group of "imperials" granted its only two sets of two r15's. but to my knowledge its the only direct encounter with the empire outside of the r46 main scenario quest.

I highly recommend running them. bunch of good story fragments to be learned. Even a bit of a hint to a in game reason behind a recent change to the game :)

Awesome~! I haven't done those quests yet, but I will take the time in short order to edit the OP to reflect the new revelations. Its nice to know that things are going in that direction... But I still am holding out for answers on the other ones. In the meantime, we're down a question, so it might be a good idea to replace it with a new one. Some feedback form everyone would awesome so we can all come up with something great to ask.

Some of the other questions have been touched on, though not clearly answered in these forums (for example, the question about party content). I am leaving these in for now, however, because they are more specifically asking about plot related content.

Questions I would like asked...
...Have not been asked/answered in an interview we can read online.
...Are generalized questions with specific examples
...Do not inquire about things we have received "We're working on it" answers about (i.e. PS3 release, chocobos, etc.)

Finally, I will be adding question #9, relating to plot, crafters, gatherers, and the problems therein.

And there you have it, another shameless bump.

OP updated.

have patients people

Good topic, I hope we get answers to those question. For the main scenario quests, I agree they are boring for any combat class tbh, they need more umph, more than just a higher difficulty setting - for example, the early escort quests have you killing 3 or 4 of the weakest mobs in the game, why not keep them easy (since they're a beginner quest) but have waves of mobs coming at you instead? I dunno, they need something to inject life into them. The storyline cutscenes are awesome and they're the only reason anyone would even consider going through the snore fest that is the actual quest.

Added question number 10.

Maybe we can possibly see a reply this month? Perhaps to much to ask for.

If you want Yoshi-P to actually read it, you shouldn't have written it that long....

Too much side-part, you can just point out the main idea of the sentence in a few lines actually.

I don't expect Yoshi-P to read it. He flat out said he wouldn't read/reply to english posts. However, the moderators do, and it is their job to basically filter out the fluff, and take the core of the issues we discuss to the dev team. I'm sure that by now, at least one moderator has read this thread (its been around a while, and has quite a few views, quite a few likes, quite a few replies), but whether or not they will reply to anything... well... we can hope.
