Liveletter "feedback"?

[Kaurie]

And what does your post have to do with my argument? I didn't say they won't ever change those things, I said they won't respond to questions that they don't have answers to at present. It's like when the media ask a game developer when X game is coming out and they don't answer; it's not that they're deliberately ignoring the question to be spiteful, they just don't have a clear answer to give yet. The OP is complaining that his questions never get answered as though the devs are showing favouritism to a different segment of the community when the reality is simply that he wants answers that the devs simply don't have to offer.

Yes, we got some answers on some things yesterday. Do you know why we got those specific answers? Because the devs have finalised those specific plans and thus can offer us that information. If you feel like your questions are being ignored you should generally just assume that there isn't an answer to your question yet.

Tbh some information would be good. I agree with op. I've a stopped reading up on the live letters, well this is the first I'm missing. Every letter since 3.0 launched has made me want to unsubscribe. Luckily I log in and realize I do still enjoy the game. The letters are just massively disappointing

Yes something is being done about RMT. I dont know if you guys were watching the stream but Yoshi's face when the RMT came across the screen at E3 was priceless.

At the moment, all I feel the game needs is more long term based grind for battle content. As it is right now, except for the relic, everything in the game is practically handed to you on a silver platter, even the absolute best weapons. There's really nothing that takes time and effort, and I'd like for there to be alot more grinds than just the relic.

Its not that they can't or won't do it, its that its not feasible to do when the game is operating on a severely limited platform that is holding it back. He already told us yesterday that inventory and armory chest space expansions will be there in 4.0 and this is more than enough evidence that they are going to drop PS3 support in 4.0.

PS3 and low-end PCs are not holding the game back in the way that you believe. Expanding the inventory and armory chest is not something that is impacted by any 'limitation' of the PS3 or low end PCs. The issue with inventory and armory space is architecture related in terms of how the game holds character information in live memory and continually backs it up. Removing support for the PS3 (which is highly anticipated) will not alter that a single bit. I wish people would stop blindly blaming one platform or another for something when in fact is has little to nothing to do with the restriction being complained about.

@kosmos. Agreed, but I think it has to do with Yoshi specifically stating that these things are due to ps3 limitations.

I agree with OP.

Fun fact, in the 1.x era..the live letter WERE about game play and upcoming things, no glamour..no minions (those didnt even exist) and it was just all purely about content, game play and fixing the game. Now they are boring to watch..I am sorry they just are to me ; ; It is all fluff content and everything else gets ignored. The horizontal vs vertical, interesting stats on gear, job changes and fixes, open world content...all of that sort of thing is NEVER mentioned anymore.

You are entirely correct, but 2 things:

1.) Can you blame them? When Square has gone on record constantly blaming platform limitations?
2.) There's still plenty of things that are actually the fault of ps3 and low-end pcs that I'm looking forward to being addressed once they drop support.

Now THAT is something that needs serious discussion sooner rather than later. They continually avoid answering just *when* PS3 support will be dropped. In my opinion if they state it as fact now that it will not be supported in 4.0 then people can begin the process of updating their hardware via saving, gifts or watching out for sales.

What would be very damaging would be if they wait until after Christmas to reveal that 4.0 is PS3 free. It'd also be very shortsighted to continue supporting an almost dead (outside Japan) platform to the detriment of the next expansion, which will probably be the "make or break" patch.

TL;DR We need an answer about PS3 support ASAP.

IMO, itemization is already about as interesting as it needs to be.

If you consider having 6 stats where 4-5 of them are relevant to each class and constant vertical progression with no interesting variation to a formula interesting then sure >_>

But current inventory limitation have nohing to do wih PS3, and more how they manage character datas server-side.
