Patch 1.17 Notes

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Wow that post was tactless relax this is not any different from any other thread. Remember you came into my thread a few times and called me a troll? No one got mad at you then. It happens.

well look at what your doing your egging on pointless insults to a comment that in no way shape or form needed the hostility.

do you get that? I know the process of how storylines in ga,es are made it is no different trhen any movie. writing the basic story and quest outline takes time. then making a cs fit what they need to do takes time thats all I said.

again i never said" there will be no miniquest cs" I just said don't expect them

If ppl expect them abd come to find out there are none they are going to blow up in the forums and "rage quit". I was just trying ta be nice buddy.
and again not my fault you take a game or comments so seriously as to instult or egg on the insulting of someone else. Which does make you a troll aks rude person.

She wonders why people are so hostile, maybe it is because everything she posts is nonsensical uninformed dribble.

I was merely countering your comment that "rendering cs takes too long" which is out of touch with real-time rendering. It's in Square's best interests to not pre-render unless they're making a "The Spirits Within" mini-film.

FF is known for it's pre-rendered cutscenes in the later generation games, so it would be in their best interest to continue this trend if Final Fantasy XIV is to be "Final Fantasy", especially for storyline missions, which is why they developed the Crystal Tools engine, mainly for cinematics.

The best thing to do at this point is to drop the subject altogether.
Mistakes where made on both sides and there is unnecessary aggression all around. Take a deep breath and walk away.

I think it's because some of us are tired of the completely brain-dead ignorance of some individuals when discussing particular topics. If anything, this particular individual does not know when to keep her mouth shut. Just look at the postcount, I'm sure half of those posts weren't even constructive or knowledgeable.

Anyway, I'm downloading the patch now. First thing I'm going to do is dig through the DATs to see what other secrets Yoshi-P's got squirreled away...

umm how is saying "don't expect cs just yet" being stupid, ignorant , is me boasting anything, or me claiming i know more then anyone"

just because i added "take a long time" << not very detail is it

so far everyone is the ingorant one for seeing what wasn't there.....
its not like i said there will be no cs.

So much hostility... Let me straighten out this whole CG confusion. There's basically 2 types. The very nicely looking, long, drawn out method used in the movies, where every bit of detail is hand crafted frame by frame, and the technique where the game engine renders the scene. The latter takes very little time to do. At the least, they can use premade animations and camera tricks to put together a scene very quickly, which I can live with. At most, they can use motion capture to create new animation, and that doesn't take long either.

They did that for FFXI's introductory video, but didn't do any pre-rendered CGIs for the expansions or other content related to XI - at least to my knowledge.

The trend is the same here with XIV. There's a reason for that. The Crystal Tools engine is essentially a glorified, super-powerful cutscene-capable game engine. Just look at FF13 for that. There weren't a lot of pre-rendered CGIs in that compared to previous iterations, which is probably the direction Square Enix is going - they want to push the envelope technologically in how they do cutscenes.

I really don't think simple ignorance is a strong basis for hostility.

It certainly doesn't help anyone. Just kindly correct them and next time we can avoid wasting half the thread bickering.

i disagree: yes you can all heal and do al the same things that having a sub job would allow in FFXI, maybe vamping it so you cant use lv 2 spells at rank 10 or rank1, but to say you cant make you character unique i don't know if its true, not every one has the time to level all there jobs to 50 in 6 months

Guys, guys, this topic is about the patch notes, not about CG.
