MAN BUNNY

[Nestama]

Maybe male developers worked on the bunny outfit for females (to appeal to a male audience...?), so now they're doing the reverse (make them in a way that appeals the female audience. idunno, I'm not a Playboy wizard)?

[CaptainLagbeard]

Now that they're doing this... I kinda expect to see our dear friend, Inspector Hildibrand Heliodor Maximilian Manderville in a bunny suit. Because convoluted reasons that will somehow make perfect sense.

I do not get this part. I am probably overreacting, but is he hinting that the male developers do not want to work on the male bunny outfit, so the female staff need to work on it? Otherwise, why mention the gender of the staff at all?[/B]

My interpretation of this was that Yoshi P was trying to assure folks that the results will be intended to be sexy, rather than silly. Hopefully, this means that we'll get something more along the lines of Chippendale dancers rather than a guy "hilariously" stuffed into an ill-fitting Playboy Bunny outfit.

Hey! they've been busy making the beds to lie on in costa del sol and other random stuff that no one asked for.

Isn't it awesome that they add things they think the playerbase might find nice without having to be asked? Outside of wishing I could sit properly in the beach chairs in the Mist, I never gave this idea much thought but I was certainly excited to hear they'd add it. I really like how they don't ignore the fluffy side of content like many other games do. I appreciate that they actually have an interest in breathing some life into the social aspect of their game and consider such nice and harmless ideas as allowing players to all sit out on actual chairs during beach events rather than focusing entirely on some monotonous stat grind that a lot of players do not give a *bleep* about.

But that's just me.

Q. Xelphatol is located in the east of Abalathian's spine, but this is the first time this area showed up in the game no?

A. Yes. Of course it has a setting to be a huge field, but the theme this time is the main base of the Ixali located in the valleys of Xelphatol, so you won't witness the whole region.

Hallelujah, at long last people can stop complaining, whining that "They'll never get to see and explore Xelphatol now that it's just a dungeon!"

Q. With all of this new equipment, there must be a lot of people with their retainers fully filled up. No plans on adding a book that can store and manage equipment?

A. The development task to expand the armoury chest and inventory has already stareted, but all i can say now is please through away what you don't need until that day comes (wry smile). I do understand how you feel...I'm the type of person who leaves the gear i like inside my armoury chest and my retainers are packed with equipment, but it becomes endless so i think you should hand the retainerswhat you really want to keep. Or throw them away or turn them into Grand company seals. The calamity salvager can hold seasonal items so i would like players to clean out their retainers at the end of the year.

BOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Q. Talking about equipment, You're adding the gear Edda was wearing in the deep dungeon right?

A. We got a lot of feed back so we are considering getting our hands on that. That was specifically made for Edda and only for Edda's model, so we need to render it for all races.

This, on the other hand, I'm extremely excited about. Love how the Blackbosom outfit looked. Gorgeous.
But seriously, 4.0 can't come soon enough. They'd better not renege on the promised inventory expansion. And telling us to just clear out the equipment we've worked hard grinding content to acquire because we like how it looks? Really, what the fuck Yoshida...

Bunny suits on Roegadyn and Au'ra guys should be fun to see.

Also don't much mind the restricted number of fish you can put in the aquarium. Orchestrion had a limited number of songs at first too, but they've been steadily increasing the catalog. I'm sure they'll do the same with the aquariums, and that's fine by me.

Can really get behind what Yoshi-P's saying about progression and end game. FFXIV is the first MMO I've ever played where I actually hit the level cap at all, let alone went on to hit the cap on everything. Still, now that I've reached that point, I do feel a bit listless, just trying to catch up to the absolute pinnacle of the end game. It does sound like they've got plenty of plans in the future to help alleviate such boredom, and I for one look forward to seeing it, however far ahead that may be.

Yay Now I know what me new healer glamour will be.

Q. So men and women are going to be able to equip it?

A.Yes. The NA community had an especially high demand so we thought we should do it. Our female staff is putting hard work into creating it.

He's probably saying that implying they're making it look "hot", fanservice for women and gays Inc.

[Cherie]

I was searching google for some pictures of the new bunny suit. Is this it?



I can see them taking over my server completely if so. It's a pretty hot looking desgin.
Men in bunny suits will probably be asking other guys:

[Felis]

Woah woah woah Edda glamour won't be Unisex but will be a reward for PotD and no male equivalent?

Edda = female = clothe for females
Next PoD boss = male = clothe for males?

female staff members who are fan of Yaoi (boy love) and can now live out their fantasy.

Sigh I'd really like some type of unique level system, ILvl is so boring, but oh well...I was hoping 4.0 would change it up.


After reading this I feel really bad for Yoshi bc all the complaints he gets, he tries to fix but just can't do it. SIX MONTHS TO CREATE AN OUTFIT?? No wonder he can't unisex everything. He tries to please each type of player: battle, crafter, homeowner, story junkie, Gold Saucerer with each patch but it just isn't enough & people(at least in English) complain non freaking stop instead of appreciating the work the dev team does on every issue except maybe lore. He adds something that isn't an expert dungeon = instant complaint & ridicule for how it didn't live up to expectations.
