FFXIV Media Tour- Gamer Escape Coverage

[ShinigamiKayla]

"1. In this arc, the consciousness of the planet has formed into the Mother Crystal whom then speaks to the players. This is the storyline that will stretch throughout the entirety of the new FINAL FANTASY XIV.

2. Grand Companies vs the Garlean Empire. Yoshida noted that for this arc, an important keyword is “Warriors of Light”.

3. The Primals, which feed on the life force of the planet have grown in both strength and influence since the appearance of Bahamut."

Yoshida- What I would like to see right?

First of all, we are planning a new race for an expansion pack. For the classes and jobs, we will introduce them through patches because all of the Legacy players have level 50 jobs anyway. When we introduce new classes and jobs we will probably increase the level cap at the same time.

About what I want to introduce- it’s more like what I think I have to introduce. Something related to guns because the (musketeer) guild in the game. Something related to that I think I have to introduce.

Also I do feel that scouting classes are lacking so I want to bring in Theif, Ninja and those that have to do with stealth. Also more casters like Blue Mage and Red Mage are something I would like to add.

Whatever the players want, I want too.

Surprised to see blue mage up there in Yoshida's mind.

Thanks for the good interview questions

Now I finally understand who the hell that random woman was that was talking to me in the opening cut scene.

Interesting bit on part where they ran totorak. Having a job in party gives your party a stat buff. Interesting way of doing class-specific buffs without having the class actually casting it.

PS: I'm surprised no one is raging over the change to chocobo porters

[Zumi]

New race at expansion mean they are going to offer paid race changes in the future ?

Well... if yoshida thought it was best for the game then there is no point in not trusting him. Plus the game is still in its early stages so if the testers eventually deem it a bad feature then it will get removed, if not it will stay...

I'm thinking Laira (snake like) since they mentioned it a while ago that there was a demand for it in NA and parts of Japan

Which is true, but I got too used to "ZOMG THIS IS FROM ANOTHER GAME FF IS LOOZING ITZ IDENTITY!!1!!1!one!eleventy!" followed by a post by trollexia saying some drivel about standard features in MMOs being bad followed by that one guy that argues the modern MMO is the downfall of the MMORPG genre. Was starting to think it was just standard procedure around here.

Fusionx, can you confirm that we will getting "targeting lines" from FF XII? because in one of video the lines are there when yoshi-p get aggro from mob. But there is no line when he attack his targeted monster. So my conclusion is, the target lines will appear when non-targeted mob has hate on you, CMIIW

From Rein's translations

吉田氏：
はい，お願いします（笑）。少し話が戻りますが，ほかにもグラフィックスで分かりやすくしたものに，フィールドを歩いているとモンスターの間に黄色の線 が現れるというものがあります。これは対象のモンスターを攻撃すると，この線で結ばれたモンスターがリンクしますよというサインです。

Y - Yes, please do (laugh). Going back on topic, for the parts we made it easier to understand through graphics, there is one where yellow lines will appear between monsters. This is a sign shows the monster links. If you attack this one mob, the other mob attached to that yellow line would link as well.

吉田氏：
そもそもプレイヤーの戦力はパーティを組んでいる人数によって変わるので，モンスターもそれに合わせて戦力調整されます。でも，攻撃してみるまでモンス ターの戦力が分からないというのは，なしにしたいんです。戦略が立てられないですから。これはオプションでオフにできるので，煩わしければオフにしてくだ さい。ですが，敵視のラインが次に誰にいくかも，頭上で見えるようになったので，ダンジョンなどで結構便利です。「FFXII」のターゲットラインの進化 形みたいな感じですね。

Y - Players strength will change depending on number of people in your party, so we have made adjustments to the monster to match that power. however I didn’t want to make it where you won’t know how strong the monsters are until you attack them. By doing that you can’t come up with a strategy. Can this option be turned off? If possible turn it off. But, now you can also see which player has hate by a hate line so it’s useful in dungeons. It’s like an evolved version of FFXII’s target line.
