Will we ever get.....

The ability to change hairstyles? (was promised)

Rewards for all our surplus "bonus points"? (was promised)

Team-crafting, like building an airship or giant cake (was implied)

Hamlet battles (was listed for early january by old dev team)

A way to get the original game bonuses like onion helm through events (the reason i ask this is because a lot of people had issues unlocking them when the game was released due to a messed up registration system, and as such many people who -should- have got them didn't)


Anyone hear anything about these in interviews or on other language boards?
List anymore if you have them.

I'm guessing sometime after the 1.18 update.

I'm guessing some time far into the future, I doubt we will see these features even prior to PS3 release. Also take any "Plans or promises" with a grain of salt until you see actual patch notes refering to them being worked on and not "Looked into" as they can conviently hush it away as being unfeasable when it's in the investigation stage.

Who knows, but as long as they fix the shit that makes this game almost unplayable, poopy action bar, boring combat, terrible menus, etc, I can wait quite awhile before I care if any of that sees its way into the game. That's what the polls where for, to gauge where they needed to start. All those fun things (choco breeding, building airships,etc.) will be awesome additions, but the basic fundamentals need to be laid and working first.

It kinda bothers me that their way to fix the surplus issue thing was to tell people they would get to use the bonus points and then never mention it again.

Surplus "rewards". no. (They never stated it would be rewards, they stated there will be something done with it that wasn't determined yet.

Team Crafting Yoshida said won't happen till there's a use for what can be built as a team.

Hamlet Battles the rep said it's being redesigned so information comes later.

Never heard of people having issues beyond asura armguards due to the fact XIII's codes were time sensitive. I can easily get Onion Helms on new characters I create.

First off surplus is being removed, also a few things that might effect your things here, one this was all from the original director, and second, things are planned all the time for new games, and never happen, it is just most of the time we dont hear about it.

As said above the polls decided where the dev team should prioritise, I believe it was Tanaka's team who said much of this stuff was coming to the game and Yoshida obviously decided against it.

This one was actually addressed in an interview. They said something like, they don't want to put it in until they have a purpose and content for it.

I'm drying to know the purpose of that cake~! (^-^)
Probably buff food that buffs you for 30 months, instead of 30 minutes when you consume it (alone).

and lower your movement speed to 1 ;p

I know it's silly and not a high priority, but I really really really want a barber of some kind.
I chose my character's hairstyle with the fact that an option to change it would become available.
I hope they haven't forgotten this ; ;

I'm also excited for group crafting except I know it'll come when they're ready to put it into the game.

Oh, and the last time I heard something about using surplus for rewards it was in some kind of interview thing and the developers said that they hadn't thought of that and they might look into the idea. Not a promise.

I'm not sure hairstyle changes were ever promised. The mods did say yoshi-p wanted to give that option in the future though (thats not a promise).

They never said surplus would reward players with anything. Early beta testers suggested it reward you with something, though devs did say they never wanted that but would look into it (so not a promise).

Hamlet battles were part of the old development team, so you really can't count that.

Who had problems with bonus item codes? Never heard of that. I have both asuran gloves and onion and didnt have a single problem. I know that means nothing, but I never heard anyone complain their codes didnt work. Not like they're very useful after lv 10 anyway, and that's like what, one or two behests tops?

A lot of people made their characters, started playing, then registered those codes and wondered where the gear was. One of those things that came up so often a macro would've been handy for in-game and a saved message to copy/paste for forums.

Sometime after beta, but before launch people were complaining about the lack of customization options. Tanaka said at some point there would be a way to change hairstyles in game and that there will be more hairstyles to choose from, so please look forward to it.

As for the surplus points being used, he said they thought that was an interesting idea and they would look into it, it was never promised.

I hope we get these things...

No.
Next question.

SE addressed all these issues but in the end, what happened to surplus bonus. IMO. veteran players should get all that surplus xp back to instantly get a 50 of the new class in 2.0.

I really wish the moderators would lock necro'd threads. zzZ

edit: Also that's a terrible idea and you should be ashamed for even thinking it up.

If WoW has it, 2.0 will have it too.

That system is no longer in the game. Guild marks have also been removed from the game (effectively) and you can exchange what guild marks you may have for materia, crystals, or gil.

You'll be able to do it once when we re-customize our characters for 2.0.

No specific promise was made or date given, so the status of this is unknown.

Hello,

Thank you all for your posts. Unfortunately it seems this thread has run its course, so we are locking it. While we encourage using existing threads to discuss topics relevant to FFXIV, some topics which have become too old or are no longer relevant may be better left where they are, rather than bringing an old thread back to life.
