Producer Live Letter V questions - already answered.

[SkyeWindbinder]

Pretty sure the point was, if the developers wanted to answer the questions in full they would answer them in full the first time. Even Yoshida/Fox said they keep getting the same questions over and over that were already answered lol.

Well, until they're answered in full, they're still up in the air. Who knows, maybe they'd changed their mind for the next Q&A and decided to answer more questions in more detail because they're further along in the game? It never really hurts to ask. We don't really need a big brother thread telling everyone what should and shouldn't be asked, lol. No offense to the OP, of course.

[SkyeWindbinder]

Had the OP taken a completely different attitude the idea for this thread could have been a good one. Something like:

"Hey here's some questions that might have some info available already. Hope I can help!"

Instead we get:

"Its that time again " Scold, scold, scold, upset, huff, puff.

^^I have to agree with this.

Maybe the OP should have tried coming off a bit... nicer, like answering questions that has answers to them already (or in many cases, half-answers. lol) It might have been received a lot better.

No, it will not. likely within the first year though.

The reason I asked about smn being at launch was because Matsui-san said he would do his best to make it available at launch during the 25th anniversary conference... So I wanted to know will he make it?!

It's been some time since that conference so he should have a better idea if the job will be there or not.

Exactly this. Because the development process isn't static, these half answered question may be able to be answered in full.

So summoner job will not be at launch? For some reason I thought Arcanist would be and that they could summon. What is the difference between Summoner and Arcanist? Can anyone help me out? I'm confused.

[Duuude007]

Arcanist is class. At level 30, you can begin the Summoner job quest. That part has not yet been implemented.

Just like BLM is a job, and Thaumaturge is its base class.

Thanks for the reply, so we will be able to take Arcanist to 50 @ launch then? 50 Arcanist ... here I come!! ^^

Until the game is complete (and by that I mean, there are no more patches or updates ever) - , technically any question is still up in the air.

The point of this thread is to:

A) Remind people to do a bit of research before asking a question
B) Give out some useful info for those who perhaps didn't know that their question had been answered already.
C) Spare the devs a deluge of questions that have already been addressed.

No offense to the OP, of course.

None taken

I've also heard much about the gold saucer from Final Fantasy 7 coming in at some point. Is this actually true?

THIS.

SE has no choice but to be vague in their responses and cannot make concrete statements until the work is done and the game is on the shelves. Nobody knows, SE included, what content will or wont make it on time. It's just a bunch of hopes and dreams being manifested into reality. That is why Yoshi P respnds to such questions as "will summoner be playable at launch" with answers such as "I hope so!!" because as much as he would like for that to be a reality, the reality of the situation is they have a heck of a lot of work on their plate and not enough time to complete it all. Falso promises will only dissapoint their player base so they must avoid over extending themselves into gray waters.
