Naoki Yoshida's Japan Expo Attendance (07/06/2012)

[Ilethius]

Total disappointment, enough with the hype already SE, time to show us something decent.

Coming in 2.0

[TenraiNagi]

These are some of the things Yoshi-p mentioned in the conference for 2.0: (My Japanese isn't all that great... but I tried ^^)

• New server/ client
• New maps
• New UI
• PS3 launches same time as PC (and of course all play on same servers)
• The battle system is going to be speedy (real time)
• The battle regimen is now being developed
• He pointed at the images of "Hydra", "Typhoon", and "Cait sith" and said you'll get to fight monsters from previous FFs
• 2 types of battlegrounds for pvp are going to be available
• New guildleve system
• Monster bestiary is going to be added
• The story is going to revolve around the Empire invading. With the help of chocobos, moogles, and primals we go against them.
• Along with the great battle system and story, they prepared a graphics system that they feel very proud of (being best world wide for MMOs)
• Real time lighting and shadows
• All races will have M/F versions
• 2.0 Alpha test: In Sep/ Oct 2012
• 2.0 Beta test (including PS3 beta): Winter 2012 (and people who attended can register... SO JEALOUS!)
• Race specific gear is being prepared for all races (picture with hyur M/F and miqo'te M/F) and he wants people to cosplay by wearing them

And I have to point out that the place was really crowded!

These are the ones that are new to me:

- New Guildleve systeme ( I wonder what changes are they going to do with that)
- The story is going to revolve around the Empire invading. With the help of chocobos, moogles, and primals we go against them. (Help with Chocobos/Moogles and Primals to fight against the Empire? Moogles Fight? )
- All Races will be M/F ( Whatever the new race is "Viera?" thought that was only going to be Female :O)
- Monster bestiary is going to be added ( Yes!! I didn;t know this till now, probably read it in one of the translations but it still feels like new to me )
- The battle system is going to be speedy (real time) ( That sounds like its going to be A LOT of fun, I can't wait to test that out! )

[Elexia]

Viera was an example not a choice. All speedy means is given the reliance on the TP system monsters will use TP moves more wisely than relying on a % to trigger it.

[Fear]

These are the ones that are new to me:
- All Races will be M/F ( Whatever the new race is "Viera?" thought that was only going to be Female :O)

The new race is not going to be in 2.0 at launch, its coming later on. They only said all races will be M/F at launch
