TIME: Interview with Yoshi

Hello,
I thought I would put this here as not everyone visits Reddit:

Enjoooy.

That was actually a really cute little article. Thanks for sharing! :P

interesting

so things happen right now already been planned back in 2.1

Thanks for linking that, it was a nice read.

Also interesting to read the answer for the question about hybrid classes.

4 million accounts? I doubt that, maybe 4 million characters.

Edit I should have said 4 Million ACTIVE accounts? Who cares about Registered Accounts. Cause I know a lot of people who played the free trial and that was it for them. It says 4 million Registered account, Registered and Active accounts are two different things. There could be 10 million Registered accounts but if only 1 million are Active that's a big deal. I mean even with less than a million subs SE is still making enough money. SE is shady when it comes to releasing this info, I remember last year around this time there was only like 500k active subs.

Why? I literally see new players on my server every day. Not just a couple either, but packs of little green sprouts running around doing cute little n00b things.

Was actually in a Cape Westwind while I was farming lights and, excluding myself, it was everyone's first time.

They did have a free login event to celebrate 4 million registered accounts, so I'd say it's a pretty legit number.

With that being said, there is a huge difference between registered accounts and active accounts.

4 million registered accounts.

6 of which are mine. Weird people like me buy the game 6 times.

they hinted at this in a few places. the Live Letter recently even made reference to all the equipment from 2.1 and onward being designed with Au Ra horns in mind.

Right, we were also basically told this back when they discussed the creation process for NIN. They had planned and been working on that job way before it was released.
