Company Information next week, not this ;\

[Shura]

if your talking about the weekend part, that's not a misunderstanding, he says in his post

"グランドカンパニーは公式情報が週末～来週にかけてリリースできる予定です。"
"Information regarding grand company is planned for release next weekend"
the kanji in bold directly translates to weekend-next week

I took a look at the crafting post too, its pretty long so i dont want to translate the whole thing, i'll do it in point form,

* team feels that current recipes require to much materials, and they plan to review this & change recipes for items
* issue where materials needed require higher lvl crafting then the item being made.
* these changes are not to destory the economy for crafts (i guess by making crafting easy) but rather hoping to inprove the system for a better economy
*they plan to make it so lvling crafting/gathering up to R20 will be easy
*R20+ will be able to directly participate in the market and economy of the game
*Crafters will be able to personally adjust aspects/parameters of the item they make, even if the item rank is the same, different classes require different parameters. (not sure what he means, since this issue can be resolved by creating class specific items, maybe hes refering to stuff like haubergeon, which is used by mrd/lnc/gld, maybe crafters can adjust stats depending on the class they are creating it for.

**got to watch my nephew for abit so i'll translate the rest in afew mins if someone does not do it already.**

he goes onto saying that the changes they are making when announced might seem useless but these changes are meant to overall balance the entire system when finished so he hopes we understand that.

Lol
Wouldn't expect anything more from the FFXIV team

Good info, but why make getting to R20 easier? After the leve update getting to 20 is a cakewalk on pretty much everything DoH.

Quote of the week.

Why thanks I found it rather amusing as well har har.

Oh lord I hope you've mistranslated this...

If they ALREADY are making excuses for why 1.7 is going to be useless... then... /shudder

Ya, think i misunderstood that part, or at least mistranslated it in english, so disregard that, its hard for me to translate exactly what he meant, the way i understood it, they are making multiple changes to all the classes and these changes are all connected with each other and as a result he does not want to post specific information on just one change since it might lead to speculations that might affect the other changes.

also i read it again and i did in fact miss translate it, he didn't mean useless changes but rather translates closer to -

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.

i apologize for my choice of words, no where in his posts, does it say useless, what he meant was the changes might be all over the place in regards to the game and not just one specific system.

funny people keeps saying "Materia" is going to be FF7's "Materia" because it has the same naming (probably different as well because it is poorly translated with google) lol, i just lose few of my brain cells.

This is a pretty good point to. I'm sure he used that since the term "materia" is a more recongized term in the FF community compared to something like "slot system"

True, it may not even function close to the same way and might have just been poor word choice or a pending name.

[Aion]

it must be tentative name, hei,where's your imagination??

I like the changes to the crafting system, particularly cooking, it's the second easiest craft to max, but to make anything usable it's nearly impossible. Even low level recipies require like 5-6 items, it's crazy.

Or how about the mole spine that requires a drop from a level 30 or so + monster to craft higher in weaving..
