Letter From the Producer IX.

[DeadRiser]

The UI is functional.

Do you open your menu and it refuses to load?

Do you click on equipment and it errors out?

Do you type in the chat client and it returns Debug: 00x2837?

I still get many slow reactions times, especially in combat. So no, it's not fully functioning yet

[GabbaGabba]

people wanted content and now we're getting content. just because we're getting quest hubs/side quests doesn't mean we're not getting storyline missions. we're getting grand companies and the first of the dungeons in mid may so thats something to look foward to

[Shiyo]

Well in the Core interview they did say the dungeon is more like western MMOs than FFXI, which sucks but eh it's what people want. I rather have dungeons that are found in FF games though. Guess we'll see.

Are you serious? Wow, I hate this. -_-

What's the fun in that if battle is still messed up >.>

[Kidkaze]

Quests hubs and low level dungeons? The more and more they do, the more I lose hope for this game. Seems they ARE going to the direction of WOW clone, I'll just have to wait and see. Low level dungeons and quest hubs is not something this game needed at all, it only needed these things if they wanted it to be a WOW clone -_-

I look forward to the battle changes, but now I'm more scared than ever for this games future, sigh.

The more and more you bitch and moan, the more I lose hope for humanity -_- You seriously seem to complain about next to everything in this game. Would it not do your health good to move on to another game or take a break? FFFFFFFF >_>

Moving on, Im excited about this patch! seems like so much is being crammed into it! Can not wait for r50 dungeons to hit, I wanna play my CON again

Latency issues =/= non functioning.

Definition:

running(a): (of e.g. a machine) performing or capable of performing; "in running (or working) order"; "a functional set of brakes"

There's a difference between efficiency and not working at all, and the UI can be better optimized as long as they decide to keep it server side.

[Shiyo]

Elexia, can you link me to the interview please?

[Zenaku]

So battle system is going in first what about class system or that no longer happening o.o

[Akumu]

He only talks about a few things in his letters compared to the patch notes. If we get UI changes we probably won't know until patch day.

Aren't they fixing it every patch? Besides that, he has a point.... battle was planned for may, and now it's midjune at the earliest...
