Translations (JP to English)

[Murugan]

This has been debunked and STR most definitely adds to your maximum damage. We really have no idea how exactly the stats work, though based on brief tests ATK seems to cap out against excessively low level enemies.

Exactly and this is the problem with random person making claims about the damage calculation based on "some thread" where "testing was done".

Depending how the damage calculation works STR could affect mitigation, could be checked against the enemy's VIT, could be a multiplier of attack and damage... there is a lot of possibilities which are true of different MMO damage calculations. It could be figured out by players, but that would require extensive parsing. Much more than has been posted on this forum certainly due to the RNG, and not some solo dope whacking low level mobs either as doing that completely ignores the effects of mob level/defense/etc. on mobs where stats actually might matter.

It would be better if SE hinted to us what role STR and ATK play as this has clearly changed as of 1.19 (when STR was only marginally effective, and ATK was the only proven relevant stat to damage). Yoshida specifically said that this type of information should be provided, information which was not visible or easily deducible by the community and which has a direct impact on long term decisions regarding gear/materia/and possibly millions of gil.

So on topic, like the original person Reinhart was responding to I'd like some clarification (though I can already tell you STR and ATK are not directly related, increasing one does not increase the other). Maybe there is some hint in one of the translations that might indicate the possible role of these attributes other than that merely affect damage in "some way"?

Hello,

先日「こちら」でお伝えした、都市の中でのチョコボホイッスル利用に関する検討の続報です。
Update information regarding using chocobo whistle inside town which was mentioned previously.

「チョコボホイッスルを都市内で利用できるようにする検討」と並行し、グランドカンパニーの報酬として「所属しているGCの都市内でのワープ機能」の実装検討も行っていたため、今回の続報を出すまでに少々お時間を頂いていました。
It took some time to get the update since we are looking at both "Being able to use Chocobo Whistle within city" and Grand Company reward "Enlisted GC cities warp feature"

なかなか悩ましい部分ではあるものの、両機能で食い合う点が多いことから、現在は少し方針を変更して以下の内容での実装を考えています。
Although it's questionable part, since both have similar points (being able to go outside the city faster). Currently we changed the goal and planning to implement as following.

• 所属しているＧＣの都市内の移動：GC報酬のワープを利用する
  ※他都市での扱いに関しても別途検討しています。
  ただしGCの兼ね合いからも、自都市と同等にはならない見込みです。
  Transporting through city you enlisted for GC: Use GC reward's warp.
  *For other cities looking into it.
  However keeping GC in mind, we are looking into this so it wont be same as own city.
• チョコボ留から「マイチョコボに乗って外に出る」を選択できるようにする
  ※チョコボ留から外に出るという仕様は、チョコボ取得時のカットシーンをもう一度みたい！という熱いご要望に答えさせていただくためです。
  From Chocobo Rental be able to select "Go out with My Chocobo"
  *This is to answer those who wanted to see the cut scene when you first obtained My Chocobo.

これらの機能の実装時期はパッチ1.20より先を予定していますが、それまでにアップデートがあれば随時ご紹介していきます。
For these features we are looking at releasing post 1.20 but if there is any updates prior will introduce those.

Not too much JP players happy about this announcement; specially about the GC reward to have warp going to hurt the crafter/gatherer main people without fighter/sorcerer class leveled up high.

Response regarding gods fingerprint proc rate now being too high after 1.19a.

Hello,

ゴッドセンド「ゴッズプリント」の発動率の引き上げについてですが、まずは「マテリアクラフト」という仕組みに触れてほしいという気持ちから、触媒の入手率、流通量を増やす目的で行いました。
（このあたり本スレッドの投稿で推察されている方もいらっしゃいましたね。）
About godsend "Gods Fingerprint's" proc rate. First we increase the rate and make it more circulate more since we wanted players to try the Materia Craft.

こういった理由から現状それなりに採れる状況にはなっているものの、このままの路線を継続する訳ではなく、日々の状況を鑑みながら随時調整を行っていくつもりです。
Because of that reason currently it's possible to gather pretty well but we are not planning to continue with this path, we will check the situation daily and plan on making adjustments.

ともあれ、一人でも多くの方に楽しんで遊んでいただきたいという考えからの調整であるということを念頭に置き、忌憚のないご意見をいただければと思います。
Please note that we made this adjustments to have more people enjoy.

Rein would you be able to check the Japanese General and Technical Support forums to see if anyone there is having connection problems, i.e. lots of R0 problems? Just curious if people within Japan are having the same problems as some of us in the U.S. are having.

Atleast in France there is some (from my shell) that have this problem.

I'm looking at all the new posts from Japan side but don't see anything about connection problems

Don't think I need to post this on the OP, just for Lodestone topics.
Good thing they figured it out... hated clicking on banner once and it goes to another page and you have to click again just to read the info.

こんばんは。
Good Evening,

これまでトピックスのバナーやタイトルから、リンク先に飛べるトピックスと飛べないトピックスが存在しましたが、
10月14日のトピックスより、すべてのトピックスにおいてバナー／タイトルからリンク先に飛べるよう対応いたしました。
Up until now from topics banner or title there were those that you can jump to the linked page directly and some that didn't work, from 10/14 (JP time) all topics can jump to the linked page from banner/title.

対応まで時間がかかってしまいましたが、フィードバックありがとうございました！
Sorry it took long to address this issue but thanks for the feed backs!

Er... what exactly is the "GC Cities Warp" thing? Teleports to get around the city?

Be able to warp from one part of city to another instead of walking all the way. Kind of like FFXI's Windurst teleport taru's

Problem with this one is YoshiP promised there isn't much thinking needed when choosing which GC to join, now the reps are saying that the warping feature will only work better on your own GC city so JP players are like WTF!?

[Estellios]

Story-wise I could see what the problem is since they are supposed to ignore you if you're from a different company. Maybe they should just make the teleport NPCs be a Third party (or fourth party...?) that works with all 3 Companies so everyone can use them.
