Not really enough about 1.2... come on, 2.0 is a year away still.

Having said that... those animations look sick and the Jump is actually quite natural. Love the gobbue mount, super epic.

Q: Will the new version be graphics heavy?
A: Not at all. Currently only 40 characters can be displayed at once now. If you have the recommended PC for the current version, it will display more characters at once. If you have lower spec PC, you can turn off some extra settings and still be able to enjoy everything.

Q: What was that crown looking graphic the character was wearing?
A: It’s an achievement reward coming for 1.20. The gold looking one will be harder to get. Hope you’re all looking forward to 1.20!

Q:Will any kind of things be implemented so we can change the equipment on our chocobos?
A:Actually, we have already decided on some armor from each of the three city-states. If you are curious how you can obtain it, think along the lines of how you obtained your personal chocobo…

Q: Will there be any kind of special item given to players that start subscribing now and keep playing through 2.0?
A: In addition to the achievement that will be related to the Seventh Umbral Era, we are thinking about giving players a special mount… (Showed some early test footage of characters riding enemies like Ahriman, Drakes, and Goobues!)

Q: Will you add in some just-for-fun minigames like the ones from the Gold Saucer in FFVII, or card games like the Triple Triad in FFVIII be added?
A: Although not included in the 2.0 document, there are plans for adding minigames like the ones from the Gold Saucer. We are thinking of adding them as the next phase for entertainment after housing is introduced! As for card games, it will be important to go for both the entertainment value and reward aspect of the games. They are being considered and if a good plan comes up, we would definitely like to go for it.

Q: Will there equipment with special magic-type of effects on them? Or spells like Regen in the future?
A: Yes, these are definitely on the way and planned for 2.0.

Q: We are dying to know which class gets which job... White mage and black mage, which is conjurer and which is thaumaturge?
A: Conjurer is the white mage and thaumaturge is the black mage.
everything you have to play as it goes on now.

These things really stood out to me, I can't wait till 1.20, 1.21 and 2.0... I have so much hope for this game....

I wonder why people are surprised by the lalafell's jump. I expected even higher. SE always made characters to jump incredibly high for some reason. In Advent children and FF X-2. Japanese simply like to have heroes which can jump on a building.

Wasn't there any more questions being answered or is this just some of the questions?

aside from the Question and Answers, there is still more translation needed to be done which Reinhart did at his thread. Such as the translated of the Concept 2.0 screenshots that was shown in the video and Wada's small speech regarding payment i think?
