FINAL FANTASY XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part III

[leomax]

I really like how Wada asked some probing questions, like at the end when he asked why one of the chars was running on the spot, YP didn't seem to answer the question though, is this going to be the norm at release? Would love some clarification.

Also I'm still not sure about gear sets and needing duplicate gear, that is just a step backwards to me. I know you can create macros to bypass this but meh, not liking that at all.

I know its pre alpha and we just won't know until we test it ourselves in beta.

I'm also a little bummed about the worlds being separated, I know YP says players can choose if they want to play on a JP/NA server etc, but we all know as well as he does deep down the majority of us will choose their region, and while I think its going to be better in the long run its still very sad that after all this time its going to change quite dramatically and that europe will get the short end of the stick as so many different languages, though that has never really bothered me but its always a struggle trying to convince people that you as a player is more than comfortable doing said content from sheer experience via the auto translator. the timezones are so distant its just not healthy for many players to not be playing in their primetime to get things done.

I do love these 90min live letters though, can't wait to see some character creation and the benchmarks!
