Company Information next week, not this ;\

[Moth]

I'll laugh as they release all the new info on the 19th, they wouldn't risk losing such a valuable player.

No one cares if you leave? .. lul

[Xeno]

Sure will do.

14-7 = ....7!

LOL, that was good.

I think they went with some VII-esque stuff is back a few months before the game came out an article came out saying they wanted to attract FF rpgers instead of just the XI people. Go read a forum of just people who played FF rpgs, and what they said about XI or XIV getting a number in the series, they are vicious and ignorant, why attract them lol. I miss when mmos didn't try to attract the masses. Heres hoping ffxiv sucking hard for a bit will make it a good community (like XI or Age of Conan, that game might not be great but AoC has a great community because the game sucked hard for two years and all the people who didn't really want to play gtfo)

haha your kidding right? I played AoC from beta to 1 month before XIV the community was full of hate for Funcom and each other.

Diablo 3 wont be out till after the 2012 apocolypse... It might even cause it.

I have no faith in D3 though. The original staff doesn't even exist, its just Blizzard milking a cow because sales of D2 have finally dripped off. Theres no reason to even call it diablo because Diablo is perminatenly non-existant.

I have more faith in Diablo 3 than FFXIV. I had previously made the decision for FFXIV to be my online RPG over D3...

One of this game's NPCs already made a comment on the new "Materia Craft System":

I skimmed over this topic a bit, but does something need to be translated? I could look at it after class.

long time ago Tanaka made a comment about the uses of Sephiroth as names thats what that NPC refers to it is kinda SE way of making fun of those ppl from FFXI

from what i understoon using google is they want to make crafting more fun and profitable. they seem to want to redo recipes to be more fun to do by revamping what/how many mats are used. Plus the matria manastone which sounds like ff7s system meets ff11s system. And ff11 had manastone thiggies that had like +hp +mp + attack etc. it wasn't that limited only on what you can augment, and level.
But ya an official translate will be nice

ok so, my japanese isn't top class but maybe i can provide some information that has not been mentioned.
In his post, Yoshi-P says that information regarding grand company will be released next weekend.

In the the 2nd part, he mentions that the development team is working on both the economic system and the battle system at the same time and he plans on talking about these changes in his next letter.

He also mentions that what they are working on will greatly change the play style for all the jobs and each of the changes are closely connected to each other, (not sure what he means). because of this, he doesn't want to release partial information(information on just one of the changes)because if he did, it will lead to random guessing in regards to the changes.
**Edit**
it might seem like the changes are all over the place, (such as quests,travel, combat, crafting, rather then just one system) but in fact the changes are being done to better balance the game overall since what they are doing is pretty much renovating the whole game.
**Edit**
again, my japanese is pretty bad so might be alot of mistakes. this is what i understood when reading his post(also this is just the translation of the first post in the OPs link)

Lmao! SE is pulling the FFVII card, now we know it's bad
