4.2 Updates from Q&A with Yoshida

[Pondera]

If I can’t turn in all those Lakshmi totems I’ve farmed in 4.2 trying to get that okami mount, I think my head is going to explode.

PLEASE. I love Okami! I got it gifted to me for christmas! LET ME HAVE MY AMMY AMOUNT ALREADY

[Sylvina]

Warrior seems ok as it is. Glad to hear they won't be making another gordias mistake with sigmascape, although O5s probably should be more on O2s level of difficulty rather than O1s super intro level.

What's this about?

Yoshi'p Sampo: マウントのBGMは、サウンドチームに伝えておきますー。
(I will pass about Mount's BGM suggestion to Sound team.)

[KageTokage]

Probably people complaining about certain mounts like Alte Roite not having special music.

I think the difficulty level of Delta is perfect for everyone.

They realise that the first 2 of each savage tier motivates people to carry on going and have some sense of difficulty ( A9S A10S / V1S V2S) whereas the last 2 are a huge DPS check.

The formula is great and it works.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have "PS4 limitations."

Which is complete bullshit. There are PCs, especially the older ones, that are far behind PS4. And noone ever says anything about them keeping the game back.

I have collected 99 of those too PLUS I'm making my way to 99 for shinryu (81).. I'll probably due if they aren't exchangeable LOL

what I would like is for them to increase the drop rate for Ala Mhigo mount. I've done it 2 days in a row and I have no seen it so far ... PLUS if it drops you gonna have to fight it with other people for it.

I've been doing Ala Mhigo since release and only saw it dropped ONCE.

I think the difficulty level of Delta is perfect for everyone.

I’m of the opinion that they should make tiers progressively harder, personally. Sigmascape should be around the same difficulty as Creator (Deltascape is easier than Creator, and was cleared 12 hours faster by the world firsts), with the final tier of Stormblood being around the same difficulty as Midas.

I think if Sigmascape is going to be the same difficulty as Deltascape, it gives some players less reason to want to raid because there isn’t any new sort of challenge. The SMN in my static is already saying if Savage remains as easy as it was for Deltascape, they will probably not bother with raiding because, well, what’s the point if there’s nothing in it to challenge themselves with? And I have to say I agree with them on that point.

Warrior seems ok as it is. Glad to hear they won't be making another gordias mistake with sigmascape, although O5s probably should be more on O2s level of difficulty rather than O1s super intro level.

The only mistake the developers made with Gordias was they didn’t tune it or test it properly before they released it. Though the fights weren’t super interesting outside of Living Liquid.

That being said, I don’t want another Alte Roite. He doesn’t have much right to call himself “Savage”.

[HiroKirito]

Snip.

I'm of the same opinion, they should get progressively harder as the tier develops, but I can't say I'm surprised, they have found a level where savage raiding is more accessible to a wider player base and the moment they announced ultimate I called it to my static, savage will stay roughly as it is difficulty wise and anyone who wants more will have to head into ultimate.
