Battle Reform Blueprint

"We will look into it."
"We will get back to you."
"We will tell the person in charge."

Where's my video?

Summary of the Q&A?

"We're looking into it" and "the action gauge is scheduled to be removed"

how informative!

[Starlord]

Players what answers alright that's fine
Devs give answers awesome
Players not satisfied ( doesn't surprise me)

[Physic]

the only question i think that is left to be answered regarding the battle system specifically is, how does your auto attack system effect basic skills and attacks, like guard light slash etc.

the system is basically going to be auto attack and demolishing stamina and all the tweaks that brings.

It's new. Was just released.

Released to us, doesn't mean dated and signed today. Could have been answered weeks ago, and just grouped up for translation.

3 Days ago, Foxclon said he was gathering feedback from users to give to the devs to create the Q&A in response to Matsui's big battle reform plan post.

さっそく多数のフィードバックありがとうございます。

だいぶたまってきましたので、明日 （水曜日）いっぱいくらいでいったん切らせていただいて、一問一答のノリで答え集めに走ります。フィードバックは木曜か金曜か…（たぶん金曜）になろうと 思いますが、ひとまずまだ何かあれば、もう1日ほどどしどしお寄せください。

He just posted the devs' answers yesterday, and Bay (or whoever does the translating over there) posted the English version today.

collision? It would directly effect Monster AI, which is harder then it sounds. Upgrading AI in MMO is one of the hardest jobs and a direct reason why we don't have more in depth battle systems.

Well I just got back from work to hear the good news!

Although, many people are upset with the lack of "juicy" information, I am really glad that we see all those questions being seen and read by the development team. Yes, I know it was a bunch of "We'll look into it" responses but at least they took the time out of their busy ass schedule to sit down and read, and even consider a bunch of the ideas being told to them. This alone is a big turn around for them if you look back during the "Beta" phase of this game.

What info are you specifically looking for regarding battle?

Good Question, For me specifically it's gear changing during combat. Being able to squeeze out that extra damage from good WS builds or maxing magic potency was a huge part of what made FFXI so addictive for me. I hope it is something that it becomes optional for players in XIV as well.
