Dualshockers' Gamescom 2013 Interview with Naoki Yoshida

[AlexNiculaie]

Sigh. I just want a challenging raid to do with a dedicated FC. Am I playing the wrong game?

You realize that you have zero ability to determine the actual difficulty of either, right? Or, did you get some special version of Beta that allowed you to try out both that the rest of us were somehow deprived? I mean, is it too much to ask for people to actually know what the f*** they are even talking about before making proclamations about the ease/difficulty of content?

Yea, but at the same time if Corky from "Life Goes On" says he's gonna give you a math problem, you wouldn't expect it to be calculus.
Speculation and anticipation based on past experiences is the bases for most video games.
Part of the reason we play Final Fantasy games is because that's come to mean a certain thing. It normally stands for innovative gameplay and an epic story.
It's funny, as soon as those preconceived ideas allude to something negative, then all of a sudden it's "OMG.. Crystal Ball much?"

But if he was to say "ERMAGAWD, FFXIV is gunna be AWESOME cuz it's SE" he would get the head nod and thumbs up from you.

Double Standard much?

I guess "No Prognosticating unless it's positive!"

Movies and music work the same way.
To be honest, it's irresponsible to not speculate on the difficult and how that relates to your personal preference, because to find out you have to actually pay money first.

SE will probably delete my post and keep yours... so whatever

Of course its easier, since Coil of Bahamut comes after Crystal Tower, ist called Progression...

Yea, about that... coil of Bahamut is in at launch.. The tower wont be here til 2.1

Logic (and Yoshida-san´s Words about the Progression Crystal Tower -> Bahamut) tells me it should be the other Way around...but stranger things have happened

Yoshi may suprise us again by having CT ready for Launch

No.. I agree completely. I was POSITIVE that they said Crystal Tower gear gave you a much better chance in The Labyrinth... but then he said Bahamut would be at launch yet the Tower wouldn't be in til 2.1 because it's "Pretty much like completely finished and junk... but it's way too hard for 24 man duty finder"

As much as you'd want to believe this, Yoshida has said content done via Duty Finder is on the easier side to allow people to complete it without needing a dedicated shell/free company (reworded) - Crystal Tower is a Duty Finder content.
