Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

[gahoo]

Ok. 4am. Off to bed since have 3.5 hours to sleep before waking up and heading back to day 3. Hope you all enjoy. I think we got some nice nuggets here. I think we captured most of what was said in the write-up, but feel free to ask follow-up questions and we'll expand if at all possible.

Wooo thank you! awesome stuff

Yoshida: That rock over there on the left side? That’s pretty much what’s going to be in the game but the rock on the other side is still in development. So when you tell your readers about the rocks you saw, only the one on the left is complete (laughs). The textures on the ground is fixed, that’s pretty much what it’s going to look like.

lololololol nice

I honestly think 2.0 is years into the future, either we'll teleport or pass out or something, a world just become like this without any explanation.

Existing primals will be similar to how Odin works, wandering a zone. That's cool.

Happy to hear that quests will be in the content finder as well. Surprised about behests, but hey, I'm not complaining.

Interesting interview. Thank you.

Pretty sad about the jump just being for fun was hoping it be more like FF13 be useful to use around areas like there flying rocks and you have to jump one by one adding jump just for players who enjoy it seem like a waste of there time.

Up to one month to transfer data from 1.xx to 2.0 X.X, and we can't play while it's being done.

If it's taking that long they must of made some serious database structure changes

i think that was the point of 2.0 to start with everything in 1.0 was shit from the cheap servers too the database to the coding too the useless crystal tools that good for offline games but not the best for mmo.

wouldn't even go that far, FFXIII-2 lagged like hell during the city mission, I hope they add some 0's when transfering my gil data over to the new database

Yoshida tapped on the space bar and his male miqo’te jumped up (though due to the nature of the current version there wasn’t any animation for it. There are no plans for using the jump for any elements of gameplay it’s just there for those that want to jump. You won’t be able to jump to avoid Ifrit’s attacks or anything.
