Famitsu FFXIV vol 1 summer 2011

Thank you Reinheart ^^ great translation, lots of insight on current and future goals.

So Glad as nothing more than a low damage tank confirmed, I guess. Ugh. I hope that Scout class he was talking about comes about and quickly so I can be a sword class that doesn't suck at damage dealing.

Thanks for the translations on the whole, Reinheart.

you did a great translation rain =) thank for all the time taken =)

So, it seems that by the time of 1.21 we'll have all the changes inside. Ok, where i put my cryogenic device.. mmh.

LS system still really vague, non the less thank you! also that part about a Event bigger then the GM's event.. Any ideas?

You know about the NPC's at Horizon with GM icon right? probably something related to that + more story to it

We’re making adjustments so we can drop the claiming system. This means others not in party can attack the same monster

---

um...I'm not sure what to say about this. I guess I'll wait for more info.

You can help anyone if you see him/her in diffcult, so i think it's a good thing.

I hope this is well made, rather than the claim system in every other mmo out there. Here's to hoping something good comes out of this.

FFXI had the Call for Help system. There is absolutely no reason to drop mob claiming, it's dumb.

Interesting to note they want MRD to be a DD when they have one of the finest current tanking abilities, an amazing HP generating ability and a few enmity generating abilities.

They said that Ninja is DD in ffxi... but every one used it as tank

True, but that happened because of people subbing WAR for provoke, otherwise it doesnt have much that makes it tank like. MRD has lots of things that it is built with that makes it tank-like.

Having shadows doesn't make you a tank. It protects you from hits, but every time a monster hit a shadow you lose a bit of enmity.

But we can still keep enemy hate on us...
At least I did.

p.s: true to be told I stop playing ffxi before they remove 75 cap,
so I don't know how ninja play right now.

It didn't do that initially... they added the enmity loss a couple of years after ninja had been out, when they realized that ninja's could bypass hits with no enmity penalty.

Whereas paladins who took hits would slowly shed enmity based on the damage they were taking.

For quite some time good ninjas could get crazy enmity and after a certain point all they had to worry about was not getting hit.

munba, can you send me the original interview in japanese text please, like the other time?

Yup. Sent.
