Live Letter VII - Discussion Thread

I'm totally in love with the new swimsuit designs. Especially the male one. Although I do also miss the less revealing kind of swimsuit that ffxi had.

I hope ustream will be up again after the break ._.

Kind of disappointed you have to dismiss the chocobo before you can ride it. Why can't I just click on the chocobo and mount it? It just breaks the illusion that your chocobo is really there travelling with you and is your mount, they are 2 separate things.

Q12: I would like to know about the World names that will be ready at launch and also which of those Worlds will be prepared for legacy/new players.

A12: The Worlds used in version 1.0 (a.k.a Legacy Worlds) will remain as is. Also, those Worlds will have the "Legacy" tag at the end of the World name. As far as Worlds for new players, it will be announced via the Developers' Blog so please stay tuned!

This answer, I am sure, will put minds at ease. No more confusion! I agree with the decision to keep those past names the same.

I know I asked this a few pages back but... has anyone found out anything about the concept building Yoshi was holding up earlier? (Just before showing the concept art for Gaius and Nael). I didn't quite catch that image before he took it down...but to be honest.... that DID look like a floating Ishgard in the sky...

I noticed the chocobos name is "chocobo" and it's the exact same level as the character... I'm hoping you can summon the actual chocobo with the NAME you give it and the level you train it up to, and not just 'generic chocobo at your level'.

I think adding a chocobo mounting animation would be such a pain. I'd imagine you'd have to stand in exactly the right spot to initiate it. I'd rather not dismiss a chocobo first though. Would be nice to just blow the whistle and show the chocobo disappear and reappear under my character.

Has anyone posted the new CE art they showed today? I missed it if they have

You could think of your chocobo being dismissed then summoned from being your buddy to being your mount as him getting a new clean saddle for you courtesy of the moogles that undoubtedly stay in the space where your chocobo goes once he is dismissed... Though there is no apparent visual difference it would simply be something you could RP as your chocobo being kind to his own companion/master.

yoshida is a lalafell haha! he has good taste =P

Hand-pointer makes it's return! Hooray!

Sliiiiders~!

I wonder if there will be color lables on the different options for us colorblind folk? Even something like "blue 1, blue 2, blue 12" would be nice so I don't end up with purple hair and pink skin.

Thanks for that Magnesium... whenever you get a chance, can you post up Ishgard and La Foret de Sombrelinceul? Thx thx!

What did they just say about the supposed SCH? >.>

LOL they found Wada!

edit: Also - brings back memories. Glad to see the interior of Ul'dah wasn't too changed.

Blah I missed like five minutes of the broadcast just now answering the landline...which by the way meant leaving the room. ; ; WHY!!!! WHY MUST I SUFFER SO!!! </first_world>

Q:正式サービス開始時に学者が実装される噂は本当ですか？

A:正式サービス開始時に学者が8つ目のジョブとして実装を予定しています。学者に関する続報はE3をお待ちください。
Q: rumor scholars are mounted on the official service at the start of this true?

Scholars are scheduled to implementation as a job eighth in official service at the start: A. Follow-up on the scholar, please wait for E3.

I know right? BTW, I'm calling it again... Wada might also be a super tough HNM boss we get to battle in end-game zones (like Yiazmat in FFXII)

NPC Framerate is lowered for performance optimization it seems on the PS3.

Ah, Scholar IS confirmed now. So either they changed Summoner's weapon, or two jobs WILL branch from the same class.

Best wait for E3, no point in sparking massive community debates when the actual answer is only two weeks away.. but you know how the Internet is..

Jeez yoshi, go kill something on monk/pug already!

woot scholar confirmed^~^
now we have a tank and subtank and potentially a healer and sub healer

Well, since THM and CNJ can both use wands/staffs, I don't see a problem with SCH and SMN using books. I'd imagine when they implement thief or red mage down the road, for example, they're going to have swords and daggers that can also be used by GLD/WAR class.

Weren't there 8 jobs already including SMN? If scholar is the 8th job... where does that leave SMN?

Actually BLM uses staves and um...forget. And WHM uses wands and radicals.
