Q14: You showed a screenshot of train tracks. Will players be able to ride on trains in A Realm Reborn?

A14: Stay tuned! By the way, train tracks will also be available in other locations, too!

---

they were considering not having it, but now it's in. they removed lots of invisible walls, so you can move more freely, jump off cliffs and such. there will still be invisible walls, where you cant jump; just not as many.

Also we’ve been hearing lots about ninja/samurai class from overseas as well so right now I can say... I understand what you guys want... that’s all I can say... I’m going to be tired if I say anything other than this, marketing is staring at me."

sure, but they will add more casters first, since there's few of them.

Q17: What is a "Legacy Config" option you selected?

A17: It refers to a configuration wherein players will be able to set their controls and movement method similar to how they were in 1.0.

---

Should make people happy.

Can't get enough of that tiny Chocobo.. I know what my main priority will be once the game comes out ;)

Edit: and I usually hate these vanity pet things ...

Fishing is going back to old XI fishing. Or am I not reading that correctly?

updated post on first page

Content finder ftw

they confirmed monster size is not problem (as the question was regarding benchmark big monster) and they say they can scale monster up based on feedback in Beta
so we can fight that thing ^^

Q22: Please tell us more about chocobo raising!

A22: We'll first be releasing housing, but you'll be able to set up a chocobo stable and purchase a baby chocobo to raise. Once you have a chocobo stable you will also be able to do things like breed chocobos and train them.

---

Sounds fun!

Oh God... Goblins. Amount of times they have jabbed me with that knife v.v

Looks like ordinary running and sprint are two different animations and not just the run animation but faster, at least for manqote. Good work S-E.

OMGOMGOGMOMGOGM

WAS THAT THE MALE MIQOTE DANCE????????????

I like the treasure map idea :)

They should keep the big monsters, regular and NM/HNMs if possible. I mean who doesn't want to fight something that towers over them easily? Of course don't over do it with ten thousand giants roaming the land XD (Then it would be like that one world in Super Mario 3)

Fate Icon and stuff

Q26: You previously stated that you will be changing how the gear set works. Could you be a little more specific?

A26: We are planning to completely overhaul the gear set system. The temporary, work-in-progress, name for the new system is called the "Armoury Board." The current plan is to show a catalogue of items that player owns and players will be able to create different alias for their created gear sets.

WIN! /10chardammit

does it say 1,210,000 EXP to Lv51? O.o; im sure its just because 50 is cap

i dont like the fact that FATE seems to be triggered in an endless loop

But is it still 1 item per set? or can you make an alias for an item and use in multiple sets? thats the real ?

I noticed that too... I'm assuming that it does infact end at some point though, otherwise it would just be stupid... Hoping that is for "testing purposes" ^^;;

They wont say they tweak it if its not the case

I'd assume with the huge changes to original gear set layout, this is to deal with the single item per set thing.
As to the endless loop, I'd assume they have full control over starting events and such at the moment to show it off, a few of the interviews and Reinharts translations say they have about fifteen minute breaks if victorious, and restart quite quickly if you fail.

I'm pretty sure that's only for this Letter, to show of FATE a bit. It shouldn't be an endless loop in the actual game.

Gilgamesh is looking as expected (which is a good thing!) But also, is that XIV's Cloud of Darkness in the top left???
