The reason is not obscure. The gate is a checkpoint between the normal area and the area where you get automatic teleport to the ferry as soon as the ferry arrive.

Except that it's the same area since you can see players beyond the gate and in any normal game with a normal engine you just add a player to the list of players to be transported instead of defining a set area from where players are teleported away. But it's SE we're talking about here, they have to do everything in the most convoluted way possible just for the sake of being different. Which is, as I said, obscure.

Two posts today so I'll do the more important one now and less important one after I finish reading through/replying all my office e-mails.

Siho asked if it's possible to make the materia's with same stats stack - I know NA side asked this same questions and here's Foxclon's response to it.

同じ数値のマテリアをスタックできるようにという件は開発チームでも認識しており、
現行運営中に実装できるよう現在検討を進めています。
Regarding being able to stack materia's with same stats; Dev team also has this in mind and currently looking into it to make it possible.

進捗があればまたお知らせいたします。フィードバックありがとうございました:)
Once there is an update will let you know, thanks for the update :)

Agreed, they should pay him for the translations. But I nearly choked, thats the more important one, about materia stacking? WOW ok.

yes, agreed materia is a major issue clogging up space. if they would only go one step farther and make all materia for each tier a base stat and it could change when attaching i would be happy. ex: all manathirst IV is 32 base, but can get the +35 when it gets attached via like a hq materia attachment. do that and then allow them to stack and i would clear a few hundred inventory slots off my alt in just those changes.

That's actually a pretty nice idea Darkstar. Crafter stats vs. the materia tier/item level and other junk could determine your success rate/potency of the boost, too.

Few days ago reps answered some questions regarding how buff/debuff icon's look alike and it's hard to distinguish, here's some more Q/A answered by Foxclon.

Instead of changing the icon color would it be possible to change the icon window size and also change the icon size along with it?

---

ステータスアイコンのサイズを変更できるようにすることは可能ですが、
その他開発項目の優先事項を考えると現行版運営中での実装は難しい状況です。
実際に実装するとなったときには、ステータスアイコンだけではなく、その他アイコンのサイズ変更も一緒に検討したいと思います。
For status icon it's possible to change the size but thinking of other tasks being worked on currently it's hard to make this change for the current client. If we are going to implement we would like to look into not only status icons but for other icon sizes also.

Depending on the icon there isn't much place with color and adding color to the entire icon would look awkward so maybe adding a border color instead would be better I think.

---

はい、強化系と弱体系でアイコンの枠の色を分けることを検討しています。
Yes, we are looking into having borer color to distinguish buff's and debuff's

You guys said it's possible to make it easier to distinguish by color but would it be possible to separate them in two rows? For example for good status effects to be on top, for bad status effects to be on the bottom row

---

こちらについては現状の仕組みでは対応ができないため、新生に向け検討していきます。
For this one we can't address with the current client so we'll look into it for 2.0

引き続きなにかあればフィードバックをお寄せください。
お待ちしております～。
If there are any other questions please leave a feed back, thank you

Off topic... blog post updated.. if anyone interested... lol http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...entry?e=319132

Or have a 'materia' tab similar to the 'shard/crystal' tab.

Producer/Director Yoshida here,

なかなかフォーラムにも顔を出せず、レターも出せずで、本当に申し訳けありません。
レターも書きかけなのですが、フォーラムの方が早いので、パッチの状況など、
お知らせさせて頂きます。
Sorry I wasn't able to pop into the forums or post a letter as well.
Letter is being worked on now but forum is faster so going to explain the current situation with the patch.

パッチ1.21はデバッグもかなり進み、殆どのコンテンツやシステムで最終調整に入っています。
Patch 1.21's debug is being worked on and most content/systems are now in the final modification stage.

魔法詠唱関連の仕様変更も、かなり吉田自身でこだわってギリギリまで調整し、
新生クライアントと内部的に同一処理ではありませんが、挙動は殆ど同じにできるまで手を入れました。
薬品/食事も調整を終わって、細かいバグを潰しつつ、リリースを待つ段階に来ました。
For changed on magic spell casting, I made close adjustments and although it's not same method as 2.0's client made changes so it's close as possible. The adjustments for medicine/food is also done and the specific bugs are being handled and it's to a point where we are just waiting for the release.

レイド2個の調整は佳境に入っていて、バトルQAチームから毎日歓声（悲鳴？）が挙がってます＾＾；
For adjustments on the 2 raids is at it's peak and the battle QA team is cheering (screaming?) every day ^^;

吉田はというと先週末からジョブクエストの全確認と全調整を行ってます。
こちらが現在最大の山場になっていて、吉田はこちらにかかりっきりの状態です。
For myself I have been checking and making adjustments for all job quests and this currently is the biggest part that's been taking up most of my time.

そんなパッチ1.21ですが、ジョブクエストに対して吉田の調整オーダーが多く、
本当に申し訳ないのですが、現在のリリース予定は3月6～9日となっています。
度重なる遅延で、本当にご迷惑をおかけするのですが、もう少しだけ粘らせてください。
So for the patch 1.21 for the job quests there has been lots of orders from me to make adjustments and I really apologize but release is planned for march 6-9 right now.
Sorry for the additional delay and inconvenience but let us work on it just a little more.

と、さすがにこれだけでは、味気ないと思いますので、
この時間、開発ブースに吉田しかいないことを利用して、
ジョブクエストのカットシーンから、幾つかスクリーンショットを……。
And just leaving with that isn't really good so at this time since I'm the only one in my booth I'll post some screen shot of the job quest cut scenes....

■ナイトクエスト■
Paladin Quest

■竜騎士クエスト■

正確なパッチ予定日とジョブのお話しの続きは、来週のレターでまたお知らせします。

では少しだけ寝て、また明日頑張ります！
おやすみなさい。
Will let you know the specific patch date and more details on the job in next weeks letter.

I will go to sleep for a bit and will work hard again tomorrow!
Good night

very nice ^^

This was already mentioned in the past but Triairy just posted it again to make it clear for those people who didn't read it before. It's regarding 2.0 Character - if you character data is going to be wiped or not, or partially wiped. (Some posts were talking about making 1/2 of current level and stuff...)

In 2.0/PS3 version we are planning to prepare new worlds
Players starting in 2.0/PS3 can choose already existing servers so there wont be issue where your friends starting in PS3 version not being able to play in same world.

なお、新生/PS3版で設置する新ワールドには、新規キャラクターを作成することは可能ですが、
一定期間、既存ワールドからのキャラクター移動はできないようになる予定です。
You can create a new character in the new 2.0/PS3 worlds but for current existing character we are planning so you cannot move to these new servers for a while.

:S this seems wrong for me, lots of people will join our 10 servers full populated instead new empty servers.

I think they have to limit for 1-2 weeks new players to only can access new servers, and after that, an option to, once, free transfer to another server, or they wil all come to our servers and new serveers will be underpopulated.

New players that doesnt have friends from older servers always tends to join empty server bc it doesnt have an established economy yet.

Thanks for the ideas,
First off with 2.0's system there wont be a crafting where you choose from the materials instead you will choose a recipe to start crafting.

そのため、
For that reason we can't do these

By completing quest you are able to craft the items and you also obtain the recipe.

こちらについては、すでに開発チームでも想定しており、
単にレベルがあがったらレシピが解放されるものだけでなく、
クエストやリーヴでしか入手できないレシピというものも予定しています。
For this one, dev team already has an idea when you level up you will automatically learn new recipes but also have some recipes where you can only obtain by completing quest or leve.

さらに何かアイディアなどありましたら、引き続きフィードバックをお寄せください。
If there are other ideas please leave a feedback, thanks

---

1 & 2 looks same to me.... Miyavi posted after saying for method 1 it's like right now where you can try to craft without having recipe just like now by looking up online or from friends and 2 is where you can only craft after you obtain the recipe.

That's it for today so far unless YoshiP decides to post 3-5AM again lol.

I think it makes sense to only be able to craft off of a recipe. It allows SE to create rare recipes for uber gear or something that you have to work for.

i think is ok ^^ i like to have recipe rewards from instances and more.

It's to stop existing players going over there and destroying the economy from day one.

I support the idea personally.

I like the sound of the recipe changes, seems more in-line with what other mmos have.

So it looks like the classic MMO route. Instead of learning from trainers, you learn it as soon as you level it. I assume more rare gear/items can be learned by obtaining it from end game events/leves like MMO's do in raids.

I hope the 2.0 recipe list has some sort of menu>sub menu interface for faster searching.

I've not yet come across any untradable crafted items, this would be a good way to unlock them too ^_^ The combat classes have always had untradable equip to show off their good kills, it would be nice if crafters could do the same.

Something like this: Go through a difficult crafting quest, unlock a level 60 recipe, succeed in making it for a really fancy piece of equip (comparable to NM drops of similar levels but with crafting stats instead). Anyone who hasn't put in the work can't get it.

Not going to translate the entire post YoshiP posted since it's towards those complaining why YoshiP posted delay info on cheer YoshiP thread (people still posted complaints after on that thread that made the feeling of the thread uneasy when it should be thread on cheering him and dev team members...) Anyways one important info on the last last part so going to take that part only for this one.

首をながーくしてお待ちいただければ幸いです。
In future if there is a job that is like that (Asian) we will definitely implement Asian equipment (such as Japanese Katana or Armor) however please note that even if we are going to implement it's going to be some time ahead so would appreciate if you can just sit tight and wait for this one.

ただ、そんなに待てないよ！という方に朗報です！
何名の方が書いてくれていましたが、
今年の夏の季節イベントでは、浴衣が手に入る予定です！
こちらもぜひぜひお楽しみに:)
But... for those that might say "I can't wait that long!" here's is some good info!
Few of you already wrote it but for this summer event we are planning to give out Yukata (Japanese Kimono wear) Please look forward to this one as well :)

Do like kimono wear. :D
