Coming in Version 2.0!

Lots of 2.0 info coming out lately as we get closer and closer to the launch (so much I was pretty behind!). I got it all caught up now though.

If you missed any of the recent dev post, now's your chance to catch up! Also I've been seeing a lot of old questions pop up from new people who may not be aware of this thread, so for those people, I hope you can go through the old posts and find the answers to those questions.

Cheers folks!

A bump for those who were asking for this info.

Don't forget that Yoshi-P strongly hinted new magic class(s) for 2.0 launch from the latest interviews.

Nothing confirmed, but could set up a "rumor" section.

Lol when I first read your post I thought you where talking about me necrobumping..

I was like "but but but.. wait did i.. no.. YOU DID IT!!!!" XD

This is a great thread though :D, its fun to read again.

This thread is definitely worth a necro-bump.

'Coming in Version 2.0', and Reinheart's Translation thread would be stickied if these were not official forums.

You guys made me feel bad that I haven't updated in a long time, I was gonna let thread die, but since people seem to still be checking it, I've decided I'm gonna work on a complete update and overhaul of the thread, starting ...... RIGHT NOW !!! wooooooo!!!! ..... lol


SO if you see things in the OP suddenly dissappear, reappear, disassemble, discombobulate .... what have you, it's because I'm doing wonderful new and exciting never before seen things some of which may shock and amaze you!!

At least sort of ... maybe ...


Please look forward to it!

Good Luck Man!

You had to say that, didn't you?

I think I'll share this with /r/ffxiv when you're done. We get so many people wondering about all the new ARR stuff!

I actually quite often search for this thread because it's the easiest place to track what dev said about 2.0.
Easy to find info inside since big Zetsumei is super cooooool.

when in 1.0 did u ever use those set ups?

This might be a necro bump, but it still answers 90% of the questions in the live letter forum post :P

The new look and layout of the OP is complete!! I went with a blue and magenta color motiff to match the ARR logo. Let me know what you guys think! :)

Now .... to begin the happy fun task of going back to ... last august in the dev tracker and getting all the rep posts updated!
/hurray

As a fellow officer in TSO, I approve of this thread. Keep it up Zets.


Or else.

lol Llen ... I've seen the kind of artillery you carry, so actually I'm quite scared >.> lol

You two go get a room. Sheesh, TSO mates tend to ummmm, continue to chatter.

Great job on this post Zets, and llenicorn go back to fishin!

I know this isn't relevant to the topic at hand and I know I am an awful human being for posting this, but what anime does this gif belong to? It looks vaguely interesting. I might want to check it out.

Prequel. It's from Bakemonogatari, which actually came out first. Chronologically it goes Nekomonogatari -> Bakemonogatari -> Nisemonogatari, for the anime at least. There are a tonne of -monogatari light novels yet to be made into animes yet.

"Hold SE accountable"? I hope enough of us are mature enough to recognize if something is cut for a good reason. That being said, SE has been very cautious about what they announce. If they're not sure about something, they give a well-placed "maybe".

I have received criticism for that statement before in the past, and my response is always that, yes the Rep and developers should be held accountable for their statements because like you say, they are careful with their announcements. Therefore we should expect that what they say will in-fact happen.

Indeed there are examples where developers have changed their stance on a topic without notice. So I feel it is important to keep track of their statements, because as careful as they are, even Rep make mistake, or leave things out sometimes.

Take this statement for example:

As for mounts being able to jump, I'm sure you've seen the new screenshots that show the party of adventurers jumping about while on chocobos! :)

---

However, if you look at the recent beta roadmap that was released, you can see that "Fall Damage" is in fact a feature that is scheduled for testing.

I believe that players will naturally be vocal about features that they like or dislike, so I feel it's important to provide players with the information that devs have given on these various topics, so that players can base their opinions on fact, rather than rumors and speculation.

Perhaps the most important reason to keep track of their statements is because over the past two years, these statements have been building an image in the minds of players of what the final product of ARR will be. If the final product ends up being something the players weren't expecting, then it will once again break the trust of players that SE has been trying so desperately to repair ever since the failed launch of v1.0. It's important that players can go back to these statements and compare them to what is actually released in the coming months.

that comment is from Mid August last year....Just cause they didn't plan for fall damage back then, doesn't mean it's never gonna happen; they can ofc plan things in the future, that they initially hadn't planned. Now they HAVE stated that fall damage will happen, so they corrected that old statement; So i dunno why you're using that old statement as holding them accountable for anything?

Well, its a good reference either way. I reckon it will prove quite useful over the next few years to see if they follow through with things like the Golden Saucer, DX11 and a Card Game for example.

I think it's more likely they will add stuff they hadn't previously planned for; less so to not implement stuff that they had planned. But it might turn out to be more difficult than they had anticipated to add something. But i don't think they would announce something, unless they have some roadmap for it already.
Gold Saucer wouldn't be hard to add, not a card game either :)
DX11...well time consuming at least. But if they make a good job of it, the game could look godly with tessellation displacement.

I remember reading this in one of the recent interviews. They also said it will be possible to change this later on.
