I guess it is. Thank you very much Reinheart. I'm sure when Bayohne wakes up in an hour, we'll get the official translat and we'll all go giddy in whatever thread he posts it in.

apolo started a thread regarding giving special favors for party leaders such as giving bonuses to party leader (which imo is kind of dumb... you going to have everyone wanting to be PT leaders by doing that...anyways) he/she also asked everyone to post their comments on what favors party leaders should get and people responded with the basics such as PT Leader being able to join/divide a party into groups or being able to decide on loot distribution. Rep responded as following:
Thx again Reinheart.
I feel the comments kinda hint that we'll be able to raise and/or make chocobos progress in some way or another.
Probably since it was slightly based around VII's with the XI implementation so they literally have 2 types of systems to build on for this go around.
Raising your own chocobo would be a great addition and add a nice flavor that is desperately needed. Also, they could add all sorts of chocobo-related gear that crafters could make that would add more variability to chocobo appearance/stats.
I really really hope they're more than just mounts because the whole reason they've been holding them back is to make them more than just that, or at least that's what they've been saying.
They could really do some cool stuff with chocobo gear. But I imagine it won't be implemented for a long time (full raising system with gear) given the need to make the system then create all the gear models, craft recipes, institute new items, etc. Just introducing chocobos would be a good start though lol.
Just one more thought. They should make riding/renting chocobos expensive as hell (need more gil sinks, and it would be somewhat replacing/augmenting the anima system). So should have a hefty cost.
For gil spending they are making more ways to spend gil so it doesn't have to make one thing really expensive.
+ making one thing expensive for gil sink as temporary and lowering price later wouldn't be a good patch imo, I remember in past translation he was mentioning about this so we should be OK on the gil in the long run I hope.
Speculation: it will be similar to what XI has at least at the beggining.
Now, please try and create a new thread if you would like to keep discussing this or any other subject. We'd like to leave the space to Reinheart and his translations with the ocational comment on what ever he posts ^^
Hi Reinheart,
Thanks again for looking over the JP Forums and finding more great info, fast. ;)
Great news! :) 1.18 is looking to be fun, and 1.19 now has Chocobos along with our Airships, Ifrit Battle, Materia System, more Combat System Changes and Final Fantasy Job System. Can't wait! :)
Thanks for the Hardwork Reinhart! I really appreciate you for translating all these things! /bow We wouldn't have known so much things if it weren't for your Translations. Again, Thank you for taking the time! I'm so glad about that 1 piece of Information on 1.19!! :D
My guess is we have about a month wait for 1.19 after 1.18. They shown us pics of content in 1.19 about 5 weeks ago, armor for the jobs about 7-8 weeks ago... so my guess is 1.18 will be released, then 1.19 will be in testing a few weeks after.
They said 1.20 would be out by the end of summer(September to be exact) so chances are they are expecting a major update a month.
Like Shyd said if it's being worked alongside as it should be good, we might see 1.19 next month and 1.20 by end of summer (by 9/30)
Jobs are post 1.20 per official message - If lucky they might surprise us or squeeze in 1.19 or 1.20 but there is no confirmation or anything like that yet on the jobs. But so far we only have that post 1.20 for jobs.
Yes please everyone backcheck your so called "facts" for confirmation. It was never said that Jobs will come in 1.19, in fact Yoshi said Jobs won't come BEFORE 1.20, so it could be 1.20 or just any patch after that.
I think there is a good chance though we could get 1.19 and 1.20 before the end of september. I'm not 100% convinced though they will get 1.20 done by then. But it should be not too far after that.
good news thanks :)
also you never know drg might even get a pet ^^
Aye, I hope so. With 8 player parties though, that'll be insane o,o though, I guess it gets right up there with 24-player Raids instead of the 25-player ones other MMO's have, so it would make sense (if they still go with the 3 parties per alliance idea anyway).
If they do, I'll be really pumped. Because at that point it really gives you some thoughts on some big baddies SE could eventually pull. I'm even extra pumped because once SE finishes these battle revisions we'll start seeing way more content most likely.
I would hope that this means that it's easier to combine parties since it's a pain in the butt to have to disband a party just so that members can join another, already established party.
This is convenience:
A friend and I are duoing, and we see a 3-man party doing similar activites. They ask if we want to join their party, their party leader sends me an invite, I accept, and our two parties are automatically merged, with the 3-man party leader becoming the leader for our new 5-man group.
No disbanding necessary.
It seems Famitsu has an SE focused publication coming up. With the pic reinheart posted I think that means XIV is included in there.
Good to see the road to 1.18 is filled with stuff like this.
Not going to post this on the OP since it's nothing important
JP side also has a grand company thread going with ideas and talks about what it might be about.
All this says is thanks for the info and will let you know more info on the grand company in future topics, please wait.
Also heard it's good to have video's will try to get more information with this available also in future.
usagimo started a thread talking how it's not fair for the NPC where the players take the free materials for local leve and if they fail they don't even have to take any penalty and wanted to see what ideas people had.
Original Thread Link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/16004
Don't really see an issue with it myself. You get reduced SP and a lower rating for the leve.
Wait, people want to be punished when they fail a local leve?
What the heck?
I'd be much more curious why there aren't more 40+ leves, instead of why I'm not being penalized for trying & failing.
LOL this is good lololololol Female Roegadyn... have to see this LOLQuote:
Q: Are you going with the PS3 release and male and female Miqo'te Roegadyn provide?
A: I hope you will rejoice to hear that we are planning to implement Migo'te male and female Roegadyn.
Hmm... still not sure if this means 1.19 is August... I hope so... hope doesn't mean 1.19 is September...Quote:
Q: When will you provide new transportation options?
A: We plan to implement both airships and chocobos with the patch 1.19. I think I can give more details on this in August.
So he does play new games too good... he needs to keep up with MMO standards to see what players like (although there will be always people disagreeing to something others agree, can't have both; as a programmer/gaming company pretty sure he needs to keep up with other major titles.)Quote:
Q: Which is your favorite MMORPG?
A: Ooops, I've just been answered. I can still remember how excited I was in RvR "Dark Age of Camelot". In Ultima Online, I was a PK player. And right now I'm on "Rift".
