Letter from the Producer, XIV (07/20/2011)

There should be clear-cut goals, and a sense of accomplishment when you achieve them.

Good.
I'm glad he seems to think so too.

This is a great letter! You can tell by how he wrote it that he's more relaxed, man I'll bet it was very stressful getting this patch prepared. He seems excited himself about it! I can't wait to get started!

Silent? Did you play FFXI on Titan server? o.O


Also, AWESOME letter! I'm so excited for tomorrow!

I know the old dev team said they had no intentions of making it possible to not have a weapon equipped, but I hope that this will be possible soon, as a swim suit with a sword or great axe on your back doesn't really say festival time.

Maybe, but these guys don't seem to let it ruin their fun.

And I do kind of still like the game even though Yoshi tries his damned hardest to make me hate it.

Besides, you should be grateful someone around here actually wants stuff. Everyone else here just wants to be boring and grind more levels. (true!)

EVERYONE here wants stuff. They just don't want YOUR stuff getting into the game, each for their own reasons I suppose. Just because nobody liked your ideas doesn't mean they don't want things added to this game. I know for a fact MOST people DON'T want to be grinding through it all because that's boring. However, right now grinding is the most effective way to go about it when not doing a Behest. Raptors anyone?

Also, "Derp" is a very popular term in the recent months/this last year. I'm sure Japan has it's own online memes, so Yoshi used one in a humorous tone and the translators picked Derp as the translation because it IS popular. I know I laughed when I saw it. I didn't look down on Yoshi-P. Sheesh. Honestly, I think the only reason you decided to pick that out of the letter to complain about is because you couldn't find anything else to complain about in the letter. BUT you had to complain about SOMETHIN', so you probably figured you'd might as well make fun of the translators.

I think it would've been funnier had he shown the male Roegadyn, then you clicked it you see a big "PSYCH" on top with a male Miqo'te in a swimsuit, then he's like ok trust me this time, click again and see a female Roegadyn and female lalafell playing in the water with "improvement right?" on top. Finally he's like ok ok click on it again and you see the pics that were on the first click of this letter lol.

That's just me though, I'm pretty sure they have the models worked out for the male/female of those races so this would've been an amusing time to reveal them even if they have no plans to release them for a few updates. But I'm not wrong when they did make mention about releasing them right lol?

Ether Way, gotta love Yoshi's spirit and humor^^ It's rare you ever see a dev with emotion if at all on any mmo >.< Regardless of choices he's made or making with the game, it's always refreshing to see him act and talk like a human rather than a "Robot" like devs from other mmo's :P

Good letter! I can't wait for patch day.

/display main off
/display sub off

turns off main and sub weapon but when in active mode shows up.
Problem solved...

would kind of look weird when weapon magically shows up when going into active mode imo.

Good.
I'm glad he seems to think so too.

This is the equivalent of "I think games should be fun."

HE AGREES WITH ME WOOOOOOOO

[FlynnRider]

Wait so, is the guildleve reform in this patch or the next one? I'm hoping this one, but more changes coming in 1.19. :3
