Translations (French -> English)

Hello everyone!

Well, inspired by Reinheart's thread and his hard work on translating the Japanese rep/dev's posts and Catapult's German/english thread, I decided that I could do the same with the french ones.

Some info might be already known and posted by either English or Japanese rep but it is always nice to have every little bit of info.

I will also try to be as organized as Reinheart to make it easier to search for specific answer in the future.

I will try to work with the same principles, so in the quote what you see in RED is my translation and in BLUE will be my comments if needed.

Il n'est pas exclu en revanche que ce changement arrive dans le futur une fois le système de ciblage au point !

Youmukon says that he asked that question to the devs. They said that it would indeed fit in the spirit of the Final Fantasy franchise to be able to use cure spells on undeads but that the targeting system is not yet up to their expectations and would not want players to cure unwanted targets.

They add that it is not excluded to see this change in the future once the targeting system is fixed

Thanks for the Effort! Nice to see someone helping the Community! :)
Will look forward to the Future Translations! :D

This is regarding the items that will be made obsolete once the new crafting recipes are in place.

Merci encore pour tous vos avis concernant la révision des recettes !

He would like to confirm that the list of items that will become obsolete will be made available once the patch 1.19 is released. However he cannot give more information regarding the future uses of treatises.

subscribed/bookmarked :)

Yay! We have all three languages covered now. :D

In this thread, the OP wanted to know if both bonuses were cumulative

Sorry for the late answer, both bonuses are indeed cumulative

Good news everyone!

The OP was saying that gears with materia would be likely to be superior than NM/Dungeon gears

Le nouveau système se veut "équitable" et les objets obtenus sur les monstres célèbres ne deviendront pas inutiles pour autant, loin de là !

I asked the question on this specific point to the dev and it was confirmed to me that, while powerful, the gears enhanced with materias will be balanced enough in regards to the gears from NM (these gears will not be able to be enhanced)

The new system aims to be "fair" and the items dropped from NMs won't become obsolete, far from it

---

That is some very nice clarification.

@Perrin: You are my hero bro. I have been agonizing over this for the last few days. It was pretty much gonna be a deal breaker for me, if they decided to make materia gear the best gear. Thank you so much for translating this information.

---

My pleasure ^^ I think a lot of people, including myself, was wondering about that.

I'm kinda sketchy on their idea of what "balanced" is, but I guess I'd have to see the stats on the new HQ gear before I can really say anything. . .

Just needs a bit of clarification in the response:

When they say NM gear will not be enhanced via materia, do they mean gear crafted from world NM drops, or are they including dungeon loot and FNM set gear as well?

If so, I will be quite disappointed not being able to enhance a lot of those with materia.

I think they mean Rare/Ex (U/U) items that drops either from NM or Dungeons. Crafts like dodore Doublet would still be enhancable according to this logic. I will ask it in the French thread to see if I can get an answer. ^^

I agree with this as well.

The OP of this thread was inquiring if it would be possible to increase the height of the crafting window so that you don't need to scroll down when you have additonal actions available

Il m'est en revanche impossible de fournir une éventuelle date concernant l'implémentation de ces changements.

The developping team is well aware of the problems in regards to the size of the UI, this affect others things as well as crafts. Big changes regarding he UI in its entirety are planned, this issue is currently one of the priority of the team

OP asks what will happen to the +1 and +2 items after patch 1.19.

Le nouveau système de synthèse HQ arrivera avec la mise à jour 1.20 et plus de détails seront annoncés à ce moment là !

Regarding the gathering, the items +1/+2 will disappear and be replaced by the new NQ/HQ system. In regards to the crafting, it will still be possible to craft +1/+2 items after 1.19. The new HQ system will be applied to the crafting after with patch 1.20 and more details will be announced then.

it's not answering the OP's question about what will +2 convert into.

---

there is a 3rd post today (well yesterday) but it's just the same info about airships being instant travel with CS in the upcoming patch and will have a complete travel with possible content later on.

I think they did answer that specific questins with : " In regards to the crafting, it will still be possible to craft +1/+2 items after 1.19. The new HQ system will be applied to the crafting after with patch 1.20 and more details will be announced then."

If items +1 +2 items will dissapear with crafting on 1.20 then its safe to assume thats when they will reveal what will happen to the existing items.

---

For this yes, but the OP was wondering if +2 will be NQ or HQ, if they will be converted or just disappear with time.

One could argue that it implies +1/+2 will be removed, +3 will be converted to "HQ". But will existing +1/+2 items end up in a specific quality category or remain as +1/+2 for eternity? THAT we do not yet know.

Mais du coup que deviendra le bateau qui relie limsa au port du thanalan? Planifiez-vous aussi des "events" liés à ce trajet?

---

Il est aussi prévu d'implémenter le même système pour le bateau

---

This isn't major info, but following recent dev comment that there will be special events for airships, a french player asked if similar events are planned for the boat ride.

Dev confirmed that they're also planning boat events.

And another info that has already sunk in the 2nd page of the dev.tracker :

Les développeurs ont bien l'intention d'ouvrir aussi un serveur de test pour FINAL FANTASY XIV, aucun calendrier n'est en revanche annoncé pour le moment !

---

Developpers are willing to open a test server, but it's too early to give a date.

Awesome :D

Sorry if I did not translate some posts, I thought they were either not important or that we already had the info but I'll translate them to put on the main post in case it interest some people ^^

In this post, the OP was wondering if we would have some basic linkshell admin tools in the upcoming patch.

Unfortunately the linkshell system will not revised so soon (for patch 1.19). Once again, the devs are aware of the problem but I can't give any kind of date in regards to having better admin tools.

---

We already know that the instant travel is temporary as it was confirmed multiple times and that further down the line we might get the choice to either fast travel or actually ride the airship for events/quests etc.

In this rep response he just confirms that this will apply to boat ride as well as Chinook told us above:

In this post, the rep elaborates a little bit on how the leves will work.

Il sera uniquement possible de prendre 8 mandats en même temps (comme actuellement), mais tout en ayant une réserve allant jusqu'à 99.

I want to confirm what Antipika said regarding the way leves will be renewed. You do not have to log on every 12 hours to stock up on leves. To make understand this better, the leve system will work like the animas. The value will increase automatically regardless if the player logs on or not.

The maximum leves one can take at one given time will still be 8 (as it is now), but the maximum reserve will be able to go to 99

---

In other word you will have a value on 99 that will increase by 4 every 12 hours. When you want to do leves you can only take 8 at the same time but once completed you can go back to the counter and take more if your reserve isn't depleted (i.e.: you have 12/99 leves in your reserve. You take 8 and complete them, you can go back to the counter and exchange them for the remaining 4 you have left.)

Nice !

There was some information about how the number of player requirements will be lifted to allow to enter the dungeons regardless of the party size.

Regarding the difficulty of them, here is what rep replies:

The OP was wondering how exactly the loot system worked in FFXIV and was wondering if there was a way to "roll" on an item.

The /random command will not come with patch 1.19 but the devs are still working on improving the loot distribution system. I cannot give any more information for now.

useful info and ty for your work!! =D

Good to know... hopefully at least SOME type of improvement is coming in 1.19^^ Thanks for the translations!

Has this project been abandoned? There have been a lot of French dev posts since the last one you posted.

There has been two interesting french dev posts today:

Bonjour !

Les objets +1/+2/+3 issus de la synthèse ne seront pas détruits/modifiés avec l'arrivée de la mise à jour 1.20. Les anciens objets existeront toujours en tant que tels. Aucun reclassement/déclassement de prévu donc

---

The +1, +2 and +3 crafted items won't disappear or be modified when patch 1.20 arrives. They will still exist as they are now, no downgrades are planned.

Bonjour !

Je peux vous confirmer que l'Unité Spéciale (Special Task Force / STF) travaille bien aussi sur Final Fantasy XIV et que des fermetures de comptes ont lieu de manière régulière. Il m'est impossible en revanche d'être plus précis concernant les chiffres et l'Unité Spéciale ne peut pas encore fournir de rapport pour l'instant.

S'il vous arrive de rencontrer une personne suspecte dans le jeu, n'hésitez pas à envoyer un rapport directement à l'Unité Spéciale via notre site d'assistance. (Signaler une violation à l'Unité spéciale)

Merci encore pour votre coopération

---

They're saying that the Special Task Force works hard on FFXIV, and they close accounts regularly.

They can't give exact numbers tho.

Do not hesitate to report suspect behaviors.

Muy bien...er wait...wrong way with my tongue. Tres bien! XD

Vingtdeux thx :)
