So if missions refer to leves or if they refer to behests, I'd like to know which so that I can finally understand what the heck people are talking about XD

Confirmed, Mandats = Leves and Comando Operations = Behests. My bad, just a mistranslation since I don't play the french version of the game I encouter new words from time to time that I'm not entirely sure how to translate.

Thanks for clearing things up Chinook. Yeah, I carried over my habit of calling the Main Story Line GC Quests "Missions" from FFXI and thought that's what they were referring to, never thought of behests >.> maybe cus I've never done one <.<; -

That means macro will contain at least enough lines to change all your gear at once ! -

We received support from players in these last two years. I didn't have the chance yet to organize an event to meet everyone. I hope to do soo when ARR becomes available.
The development and management teams are doing their best to allow us to continue pushing forward.

For the little story (which you won't find elsewhere :p), the meeting rooms of our old offices in London were named after Final Fantasy XI races (FFXIV wasn't existing yet).
The biggest room was Galka. The middle sized room was Mithra. We also had a little room to relax that was called Mog House. The names of our meeting rooms are now more classic (numbers and colors).
For those wondering, the ARR characters are stickers. -

Some quickies from the French forums:
- Free Companies will be available from Launch
- Details for dying aren’t available, but rest assured that currently dye-able items will also be dye-able in ARR
- Gear bought with dungeon tokens will have lesser stats than dungeon drops
- Residential won’t be there at ARR launch
- No date fixed for iOS / Android authentificator, but it is in Naoki Yoshida’s planning
- It will be possible to use a USB keyboard with the PS3 version
- You will have to manually go down your mount to talk to a npc -
10-19-2012, 01:03 AMDragonheartNice confirmation on company! But not very happy to hear this... :Quote:

Ppl will say that this is not a problem, but you'll see when you have to do a lot of chain quest for exp how boring this will be... -

It was stated Market Wards will no longer be instanced like it is now.

10-19-2012, 01:25 AMRaneIf it's true that the market wards won't be there at launch, it suggests that we'll have another system of buying and selling items in addition to the wards. I could see them creating something similar to an auction house, while separately overhauling the markets system to create something more unique. Yoshida has indicated that the markets would be a lot different in 2.0. Maybe markets won't be the principal means of buying and selling, but will offer a different experience from the auction house/trading post/brokerage.Quote:

We'll probably have at least one means of buying and selling at launch, but it might not be markets. -
10-19-2012, 01:35 AMStarlordYeah, They can't have no " Economy going on at ARR Launch, that's something I don't think even any MMO has done, is not having a Economy system at launch. So if this is indeed the case, I think their will be an AH to substitute this and when Market Wards are ready, perhaps they will have a different use for them ( or even interlinked with AH). But Retainers are usually stored in their, so perhaps they could rename Market Wards into like Storage Wards to put all your unwanted stuff in there.Quote:

If it's from this post, then it doesnt mention market wards, but residential area.

10-19-2012, 02:18 AMChinookHmm you are right, read too fast and thought "Quartiers résidentiels" were "Quartiers marchants".Quote:

More quickies:
- Macro’s will be saved client side (in reply to someone asking if they’ll be saved server side).
- It will be possible to repair equipped gear.
- It will be possible to repair every item in your inventory by clicking one button (items that are repairable by your current class). Each repair will still cost one Dark Matter of the corresponding rank. -

Someone asked about the 15min re-entry timer that often occurs when someone disconnects while inside the instance and the party wipes / leaves. He also ask to be able to leave any instance without having a re-entry timer penalty (and he's aware that this mechanic might have been in place to prevent exploits or by technical limitations).
Developers are aware that this 15min restriction is a problem. It is planned to be removed in ARR, but nothing is confirmed.Quote:

It seems cohesive with previous info that speaks of loot timers with no mention of reentry timers.

Character creation questions
Question: Will differences in breast sizes be visible when wearing armor ? At the moment, the majority of armor show the same breat size.
Answer: Differences in breat sizes will be visible with certain armors.
Question: When is the character creator gonna be available for download ?
Answer: There's no fixed date yet, but it will be available with the second benchmark. You'll be able to create a character and use it in the benchmark. The newly created character will be exportable for the retail version. -
11-02-2012, 01:32 AMOrophin
Character creator/benchmark probably won't be ready till closed beta since they're still adding more features to it. Open beta would kinda be too late since at that point pretty much anyone that wants to try it has access to it from the client.
