PlayStation Universe interview with Yoshida about 4.2, relic armor confirmed

[Rysir]

Oh

Oh

Well I guess the exception to the rule means its suddenly fine. YoshiP should definitely use that for his future interviews.

<Some future interview> "Will there be any change to Dark Kn-"
<Yoshi-P>"Ultimate Baha was cleared with it. Its 100% fine. Please look forward to it."
"But what about the--"
"PLEASE.LOOK.FORWARD.TO.IT."

Comments like this are amusing since dark knight shifted from second best tank to neck deep in problems after the shake it off change with nothing going down on dark knight. Being called third place does not mean the job is in shambles or in any dire need of help.

Being short a defensive cooldown and dark passenger having a terrible mp cost is not a game breaker. A buff would help square things out but its nothing to piss and moan about.

A change will happen.

The interviewer needs to know when to stop. Asking about Greased Lightning IV just gave Yoshida an out. It also sounds like they are going ahead with a lottery style purchase system for houses, which is going to be fun...

[XiXiQ]

I am intrigued by the idea of "relic armour", curious to hear more details.

Good grief, I hope not. Doesn't address the actual problems with housing at all...

we don’t envision anything we make as “content we want people to continue playing for an exceptionally long time.”

And this is such a wrong way of thinking. -_-;

Right? It's only speculation but apparently JP is for it. Not surprising since a lot of stuff in Japan is lottery based from what I know. Much as I hate the idea, I could grudging accept some of these less stellar ideas if they finally acknowledged housing just hasn't worked out well but they don't have the time to remedy it all in a single patch. What drives me nuts is how quiet they are on virtually everything.

As for his comments regarding content duration. I have to imagine his thought process was more along the lines of recognizing people will inevitably lose interest unless you innovate. I sincerely hope that was just a phrasing or translation issue because... oh boy does it read awful.

[Exiled_Tonberry]

I"m sorry but you guys are just hating to hate, they are looking into it but there is no concrete information as to if changes will be made or not.

He focused on the subject of GLIV, something no one cares about right now.
We want to know what they're doing with Tackle Mastery. How they're making Brotherhood better to use. The RNG in Forbidden Chakra. The overall clunkiness of Monk.

You say we're hating? No, you're just jumping to SE' defense without actually knowing anything about the subject and why we're upset over the response we got.

Yeah they're all about the lottery style kind of things in Japan so no doubt it's going to be inspired by that, what's that? Your FC didn't win the lottery for the plot? This guy did though and he's all by himself too, maybe next week. And then RNG screws you again and again so you're probably right about it Bourne and i'm honestly scared for it for a lot of people.

[AmeliaVerves]

I'm sorry but did any of you actually read the interview?

Actually you have to read a lot between the lines. It is a typical thing for asian businessmen to never so 'no' to anything, because it is considered extremely rude!
Rather you get to hear something like 'we will look into it', 'we have to check that', 'we will see' and other similar phrases.

Drk is fine it was in world first ultimate clear.

Please stop with this nonsense. Clearing content only proves the jobs are viable not balanced. DRK currently deals less damage, has less mitigation and no raid utility. The fact it got WF speaks to the talents of the player.

[Cabalabob]

Unbelievable response to the DRK and MNK questions.

The tank forum is literally blowing up with threads about how DRK is underperforming compared to PLD and WAR and they just ignore this? WAR was barely worse off than DRK and got buffed ASAP.

They even tried to lead the question by specifically mentioning Dark passenger and tackle mastery and got completely shut down...
