Food and 2.0

I haven't kept track of everything that has been said so is there any information out there for any changes/ impact on food in FFXIV ARR?

Food in ARR:

Don't have any hard facts on changes to the effects themselves, but I imagine Yoshi-P will keep there basic effects the same. Buffs over a longer time period compared to medicines, but weaker.

Culinarians and food connoisseurs alike,

We received some feedback stating that compared to HQ equipment, there are no real boons for using HQ foods. We brought this to the Development Team's attention and we were able to procure a bit of tasty information.

While reviewing the battle balance in A Realm Reborn, we will be looking into the benefits of HQ food. This is to ensure your highest quality dishes will rightfully power and inspire any hungry soul. :)

What a tantalizing morsel... welcome substance for this hungry soul.

(And now I've only got a month to level Culinarian! /panic)

that's cool. However, recipes should be down-tuned in th amount of mats required. And more of that, most of its mats are from npc

Sweet! I really want food to have a pretty profound effect. XI did it well.

I think it make sense that food requires lot of different mats
we can farm those mats anyway

Can you ask them why some foods still have 8 ingredients while most other crafts were lowered to half the materials or so? I suppose it's because a stack of food can last a long time, just wondering

I don't mind cooking requiring a lot of mats.

But the food needs to be worth it and usable in PVP.

Whilst food in PVP will only make certain foods good, it's still important that they do it.

Make several good foods for each job depending on the situation.

You clearly never cook yourself
go to the kitchen and find out that cooking need lots of ingredients

This is a silly mindset to take, seeing as any of the crafts in XIV would require more work than is shown.

I don't play XIV for the incredible realistic gameplay.

Sure i have. grab bag of potato's add water nuke on high for 3-4 minutes, open can of corn place on right stove burner, thaw chicken add Season-all throw in oven at 350 for 1 hour. see and i didnt even need to slaughter innocent woodland creature for my ingredients.

More mats for food is fine but the more complicated dishes should have better effects.

yes, it simple to cook preheated/pre-processed food
just like making Pastry Fish from raisins

You also don't create juice in a frying pan irl, so spare us the comparisons

I'd agree with this if Stuffed Cabbage didn't exist. That is one of the worst crafts ever.

You mean... I've been making it wrong all this time? Q_Q Maaan now I feel stupid D:

Poor jokes aside, I'm hoping that food does have a more profound place in the game after 2.0... my luminary pan is collecting dust D:

I don't really mind it either but other things are out of whack which make it more difficult to craft certain recipes. Something like Crowned Cake is fine, you can get the materials at a reasonable rate, but for something like Lava Toad legs the Lava Toad shares a fishing sweet spot and remainder bar with another fish and you get like 10:1 or worse between the fish you don't want and the Lava Toad. Additionally the Lava Toad is supposed to favor Syrphid Basket bait but that doesn't even work right either, I fished at the spot with 99 baskets and about 300 rat tails and the catch rate was the same

woops long rant

I hope that while they are at that, they are making more food recipes, and are making foods that belong to the same catagory (eg Egg Dish) do different effects instead of the same effect that will ensure no eats that particular dish (eg all egg dishes do is give extra hp :(). I want more reasons to cook egg dishes and seafood dishes etc.

I offer suggestion of flavors and spices to dishes. like Spicy Deviled Eggs will do something different than just Deviled Eggs, something like that. A lot of armor has the "Of This Stat" so i think food should have it too in some way.
