I do not approve of the whole Airship debacle. Why can't we see Eorzea from the air? We have to ride the Ferry in real time...Why can't we ride the airship in real time?

Think about it, they would have to remake the entire world from a birds eye perspective and put it in a zone that you are only in for like 2-3 minutes. I think it is stupid that we will automatically be teleported on the airship considering we have anima to teleport wherever we want anyways.Quote:

My concern for inventory space was relieved when the announcement came that we would be receiving eight character slots per server (mules!). It was relieved further when I heard news on gear sets and housing.
Now I'm fearing the weight of my backpack again, what with the news of the armoury board (which doesn't seem to store gear, just link to it - a good system, storage issues notwithstanding), the fact that housing may not influence inventory at all (it remaining the domain of the retainer), and the above quote today.
I do wonder how it will be prevented. Banning mail to characters on the same account? Wasn't there an idea for FC storage? Won't that facilitate it? Do I have to instead ask a friend's mule to stand there and hold my items while I log on and off, trading back and forth? I hope instead that we get access to a shared storage in our housing, perhaps by having a retainer take the role as a choice instead of whatever else they have planned for them (gathering/bazaar/etc.). -
04-05-2013, 03:44 AMPwnagraphicThat's such a petty thing.. Out of all they showed today you guys gravitate to that little thing? I get the whole immersion factor, but some people want the game to be so immersible that it mimics real life TOO much, and too much so that most people whether they play casually or not would find too tedious. And in my opinion I find that, and I don't think this is the word I mean, pathetic. A game is supposed to be an escape and fun, not a second life where you live in a virtual world, and some of the things stress you just like the real world does. I don't really equate riding on a boat or an airship to that, but that was kind of regarding the mention of immersion being less focused on in ARR a few pages back.Quote:

Everything excites me about this game now and phase 3 we get to see the rest of the world and really get to see and experience what Naoki Yoshida is telling us to remain patient about. -

While I like most of the stuff mentioned in the letter, I rly don't aprove this one:
"Q30: Will it be possible to watch PvP as a spectator without actually participating?
A30: We are planning to have it so you can view the camera of the players PvPing"
I don't want ppl to watch me playing! It's like having a spy program on u. The worst kind of stalking. Creepy as hell.
2nd thing, while I do love PVP, I'm not the very best player in the world and I realise it. I don't want ppl to come and watch the show just for a laugh or to put me thru some kind of a trial :S
Some ppl might like teh idea I guess but it should require ur permission -
04-05-2013, 03:52 AMPwnagraphicI don't mind this.. I'd like people see me pwn you xDQuote:

i think one of the reasons they aren't going to show the airship flight is because that airship is tiny. imagine 50 people on that tiny airship. that things gonna fly like a lead zepplin

04-05-2013, 03:59 AMPancakesya ya u can laugh but I have a feeling this games goes too much into 'competition' direction and in teh end we'll be left with elite epeen communityQuote:

Q44: Are there any plans to implement open world content other than FATE?
A44: While FATE will be the only open world content, there are plenty of aspects of FATE that we have not released. Please stay tuned!
Although I have no idea what they have still in store, I feel a bit disappointed about that, since I love to discover and strive for something in the open world.
To meet other people in a dungeon was always fun to me, sometimes they were helping me or vice-versa and so I was making friends.
My most horrible scenario would be that the open world will feel like a "main lobby/menu" with no motivation to explore, even though I'm doubting that myself... -

04-05-2013, 04:22 AMMjollnirI'm not making predictions, I'm not white knighting, I was pointing out that your statement wasn't accurate. If only Rokien were somewhere to make a thread discussing specifically this.Quote:

But, hey, recreating an aerial view of the entire world so that a handful of people can stand around doing absolutely nothing is pretty dang important to get into the game by release. Owait...Quote:

FATE has more to it that they haven't disclosed to us, and "time event" doesn't always mean it's timed. It could mean it happens at a certain time, and also has a time limit. I dunno and I'm not ready to make conclusions when we don't even know what they have in store for us.Quote:

Now if someone can explain this to me..
I never craft, and I will be picking it up in ARR finally, in MMO's.. so I don't really get the melding of "forbidden" materia. What's the story behind that? In the few months I played I didn't really get to that point of adding materia, so I'm a little lost on that :-/ -
04-05-2013, 05:01 AMNekomatayaI think they mean 'forbidden' as in, melding more materia to a piece of equipment than the amount of slots it has is a 'forbidden/secret' skill. So it's not the materia themselves that are forbidden.Quote:

04-05-2013, 05:08 AMAntaniasThink that was only 10 successful single melds and then back to the goblin npc :DQuote:

y: but say when we add FATE while riding airship; I think it's better to release that at that time, but I apologize in advance but in order to view this world from above costs a lot so we can't do it rigt away.

It wasn't the same zone as the people doing stuff on the ground. You actually didn't see people or monsters, just the landscape you would actually be traveling over. I don't think it would be hard at all to do this.Quote:
