Repairing Repairs

[Kiote]

You DO realize this game is being fixed right? You understand that it has been going through significant changes, and will continue to do so in the near future. The new team came in to fix the game, and the community gave them the go ahead in the polls.

The game is still incomplete and in a pseudo-beta status. If they had to worry about the current lore each time they wanted to change something, nothing would get done.

They can fix the mechanics first, and then worry about the sugar-coating.

While I find your point to be well beyond valid, this kind of change is going to produces so much lore breaking there will be no way to keep track of it all..

Even if they intend to fix it later it will turn into something like the Localization thread where we the players have to tell them every place that isn't right cause they cant remember.

They're a small team. It's a big game.

And that is a prediction. I have faith in both the current team, and the community to stay on top of things. Final Fantasy isn't known for being light in its lore. Although there may be much that needs changing in the text, I'm sure it will be handled thoroughly, especially with clearly dedicated fans of the game's lore such as yourself.

Have some faith. Experience the change once it happens. Then we can all comment on it, give actual feedback, and if all is not well I am sure the dev team will continue to do their utmost to ensure player satisfaction.

Pretty sure the lore right now is pretty meaningless given the game isn't a final product yet. In past interviews they have mentioned revamping classes which to me means their lore will change as well.

If you're referring to the Head of the Class quest for TAN 36, when you repair the Fen-Yll boots you use buffalo leather and marmot fur. There are no other items in the game that use a whole circle of buffalo leather for repairs, in addition to marmot fur.

You're grasping at straws here, just stop.

What could possibly drive you to play a game if you don't actually pay attention to what is going on?

The story and the cutscenes have absolutely no relevance to "what is going on".

This is what is "going on" for me in the game:

• chatting with friends
• partying with friends
• killing monsters with friends
• meeting new friends
• interacting with people around town
• exploring new areas with friends
• taking on challenges with friends
• creating an optimal character build that will help me kill stuff more easily
• collecting rare items

Player-driven content > dev content

That all has absolutely nothing to do with the current joke of a storyline the game has right now that bears no actual consequence on my day-today activities.

Even if I was concerned about the storyline, incorporating Dark Matter into the game world is going to make a couple Leatherworking quests look a little strange. Oh the horror! This doesn't impact the main storyline or any of the other stories at all.

What are they going to do with the spetches?

and also, it is annoying to check a abazaar only to see it filled with repair mats and all 999999's. Maybe we can actually start using bazaar's for what they were intended for and not for holding extra repair mat inventory.

I could see why some people wouldn't like this but having a special magical item in a fantasy world that would act as a catalyst to repair anything back to its former state does fit the mood a bit better to me. Some of the repairs mats were ridiculous to get your hands on at times.

Spetches are still used for crafting gear and parts. For example, Buffalo Leather Spetch is used in 59 different synths, Dodo Leather Spetch is used in 19 different recipes, Toad Leather Spetch is used in 5, and Wolf and Peiste are used in 1 each.

yes, i am referring to that. but also the rank 20 tanner and rank 30. I dont think its grasping at straws to wonder why they would need anything other than dark matter (a mat'l that magically fixes everything). I am talking about destroying the entire story arc for a class.
