JPGAMES.DE Interview with Yoshida Naoki

[Fated]

Wow, this was hands down the best interview out of the batch over the past week or two. A lot of awesome information about classes and jobs and thoughts about the future. Thank you for posting this!

[Zenaku]

So you have to level up two Class to unlock a job now? wow what happen to 1 class = 1 job only role. I guess i see how that play out in the upcoming patch.

Unlike other MMOs, in which you can only see your own house and each house is based on an instanced system, we want to make sure that other players can actually see your house as well. Around 20 houses can be in one area, you can make houses, not anywhere, but you will be able to decide in which part you want to have your house. You can also design your house itself and have your own garden, maybe you can grow your own Gysahl Greens there or house your own chocobo. You can really customize your own estate.

At the moment, in the Dev Team, you can actually see the mock up of the polygons. So you can see what the estate is going to look like. It’s the Limsa Lominsa version, and the concept is to make it like a European resort area, so it is going to be really beautiful. Up from the hill you can see the ocean, it’s going to be really nice, I believe. I’m looking forward to it.

This is the best news for me so far. Woah.

Would go well with the server cluster idea they are planning... 20 houses in one cluster, with multiple clusters.

[Zenaku]

oshida Naoki: Actually, we are aiming for both. If you have a “high-end system” already, then you will be able to have more characters, monsters or objects displayed on the screen with the current high quality, but if you switch those options off, the game still works with great graphics. But you will be able to see less characters or monsters. We want to aim for laptops being able to run this game and at least to have the PS3 compatible.

Wonder if that mean we keep the same great graphics with our PC but low end PC would have lower end Graphics. I know that what he saying but i like to know if it would look the same.

[Malakhim]

I'm putting a huge sign in front of my estate saying "Keep off my lawn!"

its not the same unless you stand out there with a staff, waving it in the air, and a rabid Carbuncle at the gate ;p

that's the thing, with MMORPGs housing is always limited in a way that no one is ever happy, people are just going to have to take what they give us, as long as it is not a step back from Moghouses, we really have not reason to complain.
