Live Letter XIII Q&A Discussion

Flying?! :O
wow!

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ry-(04-09-2014)

I'm excited for the info on Gold Saucer too!

Way to take a long time to release info that was fan translated live >_> Half the discussion they cover are things we already know now that 2.2 is actually out.

It definitely took us a bit of time to ensure everything is 100% accurate to get this one posted.

That said, players who are waiting on the official finalized details can always avail themselves to the live translated and transcribed Q&A that we post during the show. We'll continue to work on the speediness in the future. :)

A: Maehiro: The other day I attended a meeting about the art for future patches, and there was a piece that was labeled “Sharlayan!”

I hope that mean 2.X patches and not 3.X Patches ;).

3.x for sure, unless, according to the "developers other MMOs who play this game", Sharlayan is an instanced dungeon run since they stated it's impossible for SE to add anything to the world outside of an expansion pack or instances only.

Though I really hope not, it is possible after seeing the last cut scene in the 2.2 story update. We could be sent in (instanced dungeon) to find out what's going on.

They could just make it an instanced area for now and have it as a fully fleshed out area later.

I'm sorry, but I don't recall reading such a thing anywhere. Got any documentation for that?

Really, the cost of just using simultaneous translation during the live letter broadcast can't be that high. Quit cheaping out!!

Basically, unless it's an instanced location we probably won't see it until post expansion, since the other topic about open world had people stating it's impossible for SE to new ones unless it's instanced :p We still have awhile to go till 3.0 so it could be sooner, but 3.0 is most likely considering yoshi said the theme is the war of the magi.
