This was a good interview not only good questions but I also liked his concessions to perspective and wants. He's done it before but I felt it was quite obvious here, and knowing your pilot has an eye for many wants is reassuring - even if they choose a different path at least you know they weighed it.
Thanks for the link :)
Oh god my favorite line, when referring to why there is no danger in the open world.
Yoshida: " You're the Warrior of Light you should be able to feel like you're the Warrior of Light and not be killed by a squirrel. "
The coil comment interested me, it gave me an idea of what they could do.
ATM what they appear to be doing is having normal mode and Savage mode, with normal mode going into echo mode once 2 version updates have passed.
However they could add a new form of instance called "Gauntlet Mode" and in this instance it would have every single stage of the event and it would have to be done in one go. So for Coil players would have to do coils 1-12 to complete it and they could do the same for Crystal Tower having to complete the 3 stages in one go. The time limit for these could be 5-7 hrs.
In this way they would artificially create an instance in which you face off against 8-12 bosses and even though they would be reusing old content, why not, I think people would be up for the challenge to beat all the coils in one go with a unique reward at the end for completing it.
