Letter from the Producer, XV (07/27/2011)

[Reinheart]

Did you really even read anything or were you coming to blindly defend Reika? I expected more from someone on here resembling a leader as you do. A little disappointed.

Sorry Deleted my last post, read through all of it now, was at work when I read and only read that 1-2 post to make my post for that. I read through all your posts now, my bad.

+ no more leader for me... not doing leader again like FFXI... helped lots of people had fun that was that... I'm just having fun with FFXIV with wife + few others and that's good enough for me (for now)

conjurer and thaumaturgy suck now spells are 3 times as much. AOE cure 1 and 2 were good enough at the cost they had it at. if i party with you your not getting cured it cost too much ^^. and why the curagas there are already too many spells to equip they should have left that alone. time to switch to a class they didnt mess up on.

PLEASE,

Either adjustment kick in with summer event,

or kick in with 1.19 as a huge patch.

Have Dev team not learn the lession with smaller patch? 1.a , 1.b, 1.c....>>>>

All these small patch lead disastrous debate on the forum, also lose more player's faith in game.

Dear Yoshi-P,

You didn't go overboard. Keep doing what you're doing.
I wouldn't dare suggest that 1.18 is perfect. No patch ever is. But it's the best thing ever to happen to Final Fantasy XIV.

Thank you.

My only real issue with 1.18 is the fact you can't reenter the dungeon after completing the quest tied to it without switching companies. (one of the 280 to beat the darkhold btw) I was thinking it would be possible to reenter considering some of the drops, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

You can re-enter freely as long as you
A) Have a quest active or
B) Have finished one of the 3 quests for it, and have none active
But if you mean the part where you have to at least go back to town and finish the quest at the very least to go back in, yeah that's inconvenient. In any case the limit is not 3 successes ever, just 3 successes that yield company seals.

I'm glad that is resolved so I can keep reading your translations It's all good and I hear ya on the leader thing. For what it's worth, thanks again for all your work on translating the Japanese forum ^^

You really think being able to recover as much as 3,200HP for a whopping 20MP was balanced?? Easy mode is gone, thank goodness, get over it or go play a game that doesn't take any skill.

Why make us wait until a major update for small adjustments that are finished and ready to be installed? That logic just doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe those adjustments will improve some players assessment of the game and keep them coming back. Even if it saves one player it's worth doing now instead of waiting. The only possible legitimate complaint I could see is having to download the patches which takes about 1-2 minutes for me so...
