Letter From the Producer IX.

[Rentahamster]

Letter looked good to me. If you think there's anything overwhelmingly negative about it, I don't really see how you can infer that from what Yoshida wrote about. There's just not enough concrete info to make any certain judgements.

I'm sad we're gonna have to wait until June.


LOL @ the don't post wrong translations comment. Don't look at me, all mine were correct...I even tried to correct the wrong ones that other people posted. <_<

Yeah me too I agree! I loved fighting through COP zones, sneaking/fighting through Zvahl(sp) and stuff, exploring dungeons like davoi, the other orc place, the quadav places, castle oztroja, etc etc. ._.

Whats stopping you from doing this in our current zones? Again, you mention an expansion. Just hold your horses, there are more zones yet to come.

Kiara, I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you.

Kiara, I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you.

Have to agree, got caught up in the 'worry' myself, but thanks to Kiara I'm much happier again. Thanks muchly Kiara! Can't wait for the future Combat System, the current one is fine but it does often lack that spark that keeps you involved. Hopefully it is enjoyable enough to make combat feel less of a chore than it does now.

I also hope they don't plan on instancing EVERYTHING. I liked fighting my way through open dungeons like Phomiuna Aqueducts or Promyvion.

There really isn't much difference, in all the time I played FF11, I rarely saw other people/parties in those 2 places. (for a very long time I actually assumed they were instanced)

That wasn't the case in my experiences.

Reason to do so. I don't want to have to "create my own fun". I want to fight through a dungeon where a boss that moves the story forward awaits at the end. Come on dude, have you played other MMOs?

You must have played late in the games life, I remember seeing the epic struggle of numerous parties trying to get through promyvion - vahzl, fighting sky and sea gods etc.

got to agree with the bosses that move story ahead angle, i definetly think there needs to be more of that, only prob though, they also need to create repeatable content thats entertaining. so they should do both.

Reading through some of these posts I had an idea for a possible solution for Instanced Dungeons vs Open Dungeons:

Maybe they could make the actual zone/dungeon open for anyone, but the actual content instanced much like the Guildleves are. So, for example, say you had a series of quests that you had to complete before facing the boss. You could go to the dungeon, pop your quest, and all your actual quest mobs would pop but only your party could fight them, but other groups could watch.
