Interview of Yoshi-P at French Japan Expo by Secrets of Eorzea website

[Altimis]

Secrets of Eorzea : How will we use airships? Who will maneuver them? Will we need several players to make full use of them? That would be awesome and would motivate people more to work together.


Naoki Yoshida : To build an airship, you’re going to need manpower and time. You’ll need to craft a boating, and an engine. You’ll have to combine the two. We will definitely ask for cooperation of the players. The airship will have one captain, if everyone tries to drive it, it will crash. That’s as much as I can tell you today.

What the hell that mean? lol

It means we're probably gonna be seeing quite of bit of crashes in the future.

I think it was more a little joke than what will really happen when we will have airships ^^

[Tupsi]

Yoshi=P is saying it's semantics. All the guild's are named by their class, but FFXIV can't have an active Thieve's Guild openly operating. It goes against all current lore and would be bad roleplaying

Yep, because Limsa and Uldah were built on the best of ethics and have nothing but upstanding citizens - They also don't have a 'bully' guild in Uldah or Pirates running around everywhere either.

It probably means during the cutscene if too many people choose various options it'll "crash" and you'll be ported to a "close" zone.

[Elven]

Oh my gawd could people stop discussing the name Thief vs. Rogue. IT'S THE SAME THING.

It wouldn't matter if they called it "Super Stealthy Knifey Slicey Dicey Stealy Man."

It's still..the same... job.

/facepalm

lolz believe what you want

SHHHH!! A town full of pirates? That's just preposterous! Who would want to make a nation of pirates??

Besides, they are "privateers"! Totally different, orderly and civilized with their 18th century powdery wigs and tight corsets.

Specially when Yoshida said himself in this very interview "We have to think of the people who are new to the series as well", Rogues aren't exactly the same as thieves, least in FF terms. Rogues tend to be what transitioned into 'Assassin' type classes in generic MMOs and very rarely did Rogues even have the ability to 'steal/mug' or anything else a thief could do (like in XI mechanics, control enmity, boost their skill damage dramatically and so on) - You can argue they're the same, but they have subtle differences since each MMO usually treated them differently and in terms of the series ARR is apart of, it never really had the 'rogue' type of class.

Actually it's stated in the 2.0 storyline that Limsa has put the kibosh on pirating, and outside of a few groups that deal in smuggling and under the table operations, piracy is deader than a door nail. As for Ul'dah, if you're referring to the Platinum Mirage, they're a bank(more like loansharks). They don't go out of their way to "bully" people(outside of the usual disdain the Ul'dans have for the less fortunate) unless said people owe 'em some scratch.

At any rate, thank the Christ child this dumb debacle has been cleared up.

So, when are we going to get kicked from parties for not choosing ninja, and being "thief"? Immediately? Oh how convienient.

Neither is a Bully Guild in Ul'dah, nor is there a Pirate Guild in Limsa.
Piracy is illegal. Or do you mean the licensed armed merchants who do business with garlean ships?
