Famitsu FFXIV vol 1 summer 2011

I personally would like some more information on the part where they talk about dual wielding and two-handed wielding. These are both things I've wanted from the get go.

Haha, i'm gonna go watch that Series now.

Not to go off topic, but still just eagerly awaiting more Reinheart magic. ;p

nada, saw some posts that looks like the book was only available through amazon and they are having hard time getting it, but shows it's going to be in the convenience stores soon... hopefully that's when the scans/etc will be up on there lol.

Im dying of impatience, keep hitting F5, im just gonna apply for a janitor position at SE and hope i can see something worthwhile.

ROFL, best idea yet.

Nope same images from http://coneon.com/eorzeatsushin/ too small to read can't enlarge and read either ><

In the first scan, right bottom corner, there is something i can not identify, all else looks like art or ingame footage of the first set of nm's and whatnot. Anyone wanna zoom/enhance CSI style?

>.> I'll leave this here

"Removal of Action Cost of abilities but implementing rank restrictions."

I hope that's not true that would just be stupid.

Not too sure whether I'd like a limitation or not. It's not fair for DoH but then again, restricting it would encourage people to finally talk with each other.

I don't understand why so many people seem to think that you're not allowed to ask someone else for a repair/ craft.

This is an MMO. Social aspect, anyone?

Got on PS to try and enhance those images, I can't get the text to read though, its really just too small (and I'm not a professional by any means) But the first scan, displays the 12 deities in the game (maybe they are going to add something to them finally?) Then is the ending cutscene image with the guy with gunblade and explosion behind him(Continuing the storyline?), then Ifrit (Probably Ifrit battle talk), and the bottom picture looks like either a massive Airship of some kind or a floating city? I don't know though. Anyone know anything new, or have scans?

if it was floating city pretty sure JP's wouldn't keep their mouth quiet on the 2CH forums :) I know I wouldn't lolol making compressed images larger don't help already tried viewing really hard but couldn't make out any of it lol.

2CH not too hyped up about the book/magazine anymore so maybe the info was really just the ones they highlighted (the one I translated)

I am certain that blob of a thing actually is something along the lines of a floating city/temple, altough it could be a garlean ship of sorts, they seem to possess technology to make enormous contraptions, maybe the garleans reside in the air?

Had a hand at enhancing the images but the image is far too small to enlarge and sharpen the pixle data just isn't there to extract any of the tiny text.

It's not just 'having to talk to others' I don't mind talking to others, but what if you're a crafter who wants to take all your current crafts to max?
It'd be different if mastery meant signing your items, or to do things to them after the fact. I'd love to take alchemy and weaving to mastery if I could, or cap, whichever it is. I dn't want to have to pick one now and have to make a whole new character to level weaving up AGAIN for mastery.

I think it's more of the fact "but I've spent so much time on my crafts already, and if I want to progress in more than one to make it worth while, I have to level it AGAIN?!"
So I see it more as time wasted, or potential time wasted, and knowing this now I'd like to know what mastery is so I can stop wasting it.

Hoping to see some scans this weekend! I'm still saving for my plane ticket to japan so yea whoever is willing to wait I'll bring some scans back in a few months haha

It would actually be really cool if the Garlean Empire was actually in the sky and they just ride down from there on airships. I'm kind of surprised FFXI never had a city in the sky (well I guess Jeuno kind of gave that illusion), maybe FFXIV will have one up there eventually.

Actually, Tu`lia/Ru`Aun Gardens is the city in the sky, much like Lumoria/Al`Taieu is the captial city thrust into another dimension and sunk into the ocean (What we can access is the vital parts of it.)

I know that, what I meant was a city that is actually full of people and city stores and what not.

Less than 11 mil and dropping at a steady pace, actually. Also factor in the amount of gold seller accounts and second/third accounts of players. Any company can manipulate numbers to look pretty, even if they really aren't that way. Care to try again?
Besides, even if it isn't quite as visible, crafters are pretty integral to WoW, just not in the same sense as they are not needed for repairs.
Enchanters make enchantments for everyone's gear. Miners mine up ores and/or gems for Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters, Engineers, Enchanters, and later on Alchemists. Jewelcrafters take gems and prospect the ores mined up by the miners and cut the gems for your gear sockets. etc. etc. Tailors/Leathercrafters/Blacksmiths add extra stats to certain gear slots, similar to enchants.
I could go on, but I'm sure you know this seeing as your attitude is that of a "I've been playing WoW since vanilla!" type of person.

i have found this : http://eagleeye15.blog2.fc2.com/blog-category-11.html

this one too : http://iloveff14.blog49.fc2.com/blog-date-20110806.html

(they speak server)

@Evangelus
Both are just blogs of pretty dissatisfied Japanese players who happen to have read the Eaorzea Tsuushin Vol.1. It looks like there's actually little "new" information printed in it after all. The long interview with one of the producers also is said to circle around server issues that seem to hamper further evolution of the game. Both players express their concern about whether the game becomes really "worth playing" within 2011.

thanks for the reply =)

Received it today. Some nice 'new' art inside but not so major stuff.

Reinheart, i can send you the interview if you tell me where/how :P

There are a few NPCs scattered across the cities that talk about rumors of an ancient city floating in the clouds, and the fact that there is treasure to be had in said city. I believe one of them was in the musketeers guild.

its just Ru'Aun Gardens (i see I was beaten to that reference)

Some bad (dont like this alliance claim idea, not sure if i like crafting thing but it wont affect me), some good (mention of dual wield, new classes/jobs, map redesigns). Now just see how its all implemented.

There is also a '30/07/2011' Producer Letter in this magazine, along with a big interview. Rein, i need you :P

need more info....

scan and info please ;_;

Dunno if i can post scans, really.. :/

Why i didn't study japanese... damn me -_-

Mmmmm damn forum don't have PM system...
Don't want anyone get in trouble for this. I'll try translate when I can but since its 8pages+ gonna be long lol.
I'll check stores again, they still didn't have on Sat ><

Sent. I added also the complete worldmap of eorzea with all the locations and their descriptions (also the zones not actually open).

zones not actually open? oO? How many?
