JPGAMES.DE Interview with Yoshida Naoki

[Jennestia]

A great interview. My only real gripe is that the primal summoning system seems prime for trolling. What happens if a group collects the summons then just never uses them?

I can already imagine certain specific groups of people trying to do this, but I'm sure given that it's company related, they'll have a timer on how long the pact will last.

or a hard limit on how many pacts a given group can have at one time.

Well, there are a lot of ways to limit it, likes others mentioned.

- Each company can only have one Primal.
- A time limit for summong the Primal.
- A cooldown to obtain a Primal again (so no one just keeps killing Ifrit right after using him)
- Requiring some time consuming actvity between obtaining the Primal and "charging" it for use.
- If they eventually put in several Primals in game (let's say...there's Ifrit, Garuda, Leviathan, Titan, Moogle, Alexander, Odin, Ramuh, Diabolos, Shiva, Phoenix and some new summon, this makes 12.), it would be pretty hard to run out of Primals to acquire.


As you can see, there are plenty of ways to prevent this ^^

Thank you for posting this. I brought it to my LS's attention. It is also nice to get some more information on Housing should give my botanist something extra to do also your on Lindblum good choice

inb4 QQing about having to level more than 1 class for a job.

Primal systems sounds great, housing sounds great, combos sounds great, everything sounds great!

Oh, and seeing how DRG will be mainly crit damage I wonder what WAR will be...

If the second requisite class is level 15 like Yoshida had said before, I doubt there'll be many complaints.

I imagine Drg and War will work like Thf and Sam in XI. Thf needed to focus on the proper conditions to create massive critical damage. A lot of Drg's abilities focus on enmity mitigation already so it could fit.

I foresee War being a weapon skill-focused class. Most likely utilizing self combos to create better weapon skills.

Just a guess.

Awesome interview! I continue to absolutely love Yoshida's conversational style. <3

I like that guess! lol

And he said the first prereq for the job is 15, there are multiple quests for multiple levels for jobs. So I'm going to make an estimation that the sub will need to be higher than 15 for lvl50 quest.

EDIT: and idk if you have been reading the forums but people have been complaining about people wanting then to have GLA to 36 for sentinel for the Ifrit fight >.> lolololol

I'm sure there will be a time clock for it. Resetting after expiration.
