Hmm the part that he said exp pack is getting old i think he mean he may do what ffxi does. Bring 3 addons and it be 10$ ish or something so all 3 become 1 exp pack god i hope not i always like going out and buying a exp pack

Some people like getting sunlights sometimes.

Also on serious note, not everyone have super fast internet, like myself only capped at 100kpbs download rate, and i prefer to just install stuff from CD.

Woah great interview. Really thanks Reiny as always for the efforts.

The 'interactive objects on the field' part intriguing me.

It's not hard to understand what he said, he's trying to make sense of Yoshida's comment over expansion packs. Back when MMOs first came out expansion packs needed to exist because the concept of transferring data online was just unrealistic if you were attempting to add a large bulk of new content.

Expansion packs are just an archaic system from the early age of MMOs that really don't need to exist anymore. If you just look at XI and how they handled expansion packs it pretty much went, you buy it and get maybe 1/10th of the content for 30 dollars. They did start to get better with their 10 dollar content which gave you everything with no waiting which is what made Abyssea popular, there was a lot to do and you didn't have to wait 3-6 months of a VU just to continue with an expansion pack that you paid 30 dollars for.

I think what he might want to do is if they do make "expansions" is to justify the reason behind them, if he releases them and charges people to "unlock" new content then said content better have a lot going on with it.

----------
Slightly on topic with expansions, I hope that if it's a decision between sky and sea, they go with the sea, since you can just be so much creative when it comes to the see and the depths can be limitless. The sky while huge would be very empty unless they decided to have floating islands appear out of nowhere. At least with the sea you can put anything there and explain it easily.

The demo we saw today was the offline version since it was at E3. The current FFXIV server response isn’t really good what’s going to happen regarding this in 2.0?
Yoshida: First off there is misunderstanding regarding this bad server response, current FFXIV can’t perform next animation until the first one finishes and is an issue of animation engine. So even if the server response is there since the animation is not completed you can’t move or you can’t go into the next action and people say “mossari” (JP way of saying animation lag) With any MMO it’s same but the client doesn’t have to wait for server response to move and in any MMO when moving you’re not waiting for server response every time. So the “Mossari” is problem of Animation engine. We are rebuilding everything along with the effect engine.

The answer for this really gets me worried, while i understand about animation lag and that is one issue, the fact that eruptions can hit you from miles away or that it takes several seconds for an single item to be sold/traded to retainer is not related to animation and is a serious issue.
