Answering some questions

[Destain]

Oh! I didn't know you were Yoshi-P Radcci! My apologies, that is awesome! I'll just go delete my questions I guess! Hey, Since you know exactly where they are in the developement of everything including endgame dungeons, I will make a a thread where everyone can ask you questions... Actually, I guess that would redundant.

Pleasure talking to you Mr. Producer! A real honor!

you're welcome, ask away
but really...they said in last live letter, that even Limsa isn't finished, it's common sense that Crystal Tower, and Bahamut Labyrinth are not finished (and common sense aside, they have said themselves, that it's not finished)
And they haven't showed Arcanist yet even....because it's not finished (they said that themselves too)
CT, and BL aren't even planned for launch, so why would they show summoner action in there? (they said this already)
Yoshi is always getting in trouble for showing stuff; such as, he was not supposed to show the water area in Limsa....that's a small thing, but it's not finished (he said that himself), so he's not supposed to show it. Same with CE box.
He didn't show anything of Coerthas...because it's not finished (and that's planned for launch, they have said this before)
so again...what makes you think they'd show anything of CT, or BL?

Most of what you said "isn't finished" may have been said a few months ago, but still might not be the case. There are videos of devs/players using ARC in Alpha/Beta, and ARC isn't finished yet, either. ACN was actually "finished" (as much as the other jobs) months back, and the only reservation they had was about whether SMN would be, but we've been told that ACN/SMN gameplay would be previewed to us before Phase 3 starts, so if it's not in the live letter then it will be at E3.

yes, they said they'd make videos of all classes, so new people will know what it's about; my point is, they won't show it in LL. So instead of asking questions about it in LL thread, we can wait until they show the class videos
ofc there's the chance that class vids come before LL, and phase 3 start after LL (like phase 1-2 did) in which case, you'll know about Arcanist before LL; which would still make the questions pointless.
if they show arcanist in LL, then the class video would be a bit pointless instead.
it's a matter of PR, and the PR team wont let Yoshi show arcanist in LL.
can you point to any vid, where someone is playing with arcanist? i havent seen any of those.

Were there any more details to the dye or vanity system?

they haven't really talked about that a lot. they just mentioned that you cant dye AFs, at least to begin with; to keep their traditional identity. and that they'd keep a small selection of colors, so you dont end up with robes that look like neon signs, or some other color, depending on lighting conditions.
i suppose that's something he could chat a bit about in LL.

ARC = Archer
ACN = Arcanist

Yoshi has said that Archer isn't finished, but it was still bring played in Alpha/Beta

[Fantasia]

well in that case no classes are finished, since they are changing skills of all classes, between ph2 and 3
archer needed the most change, since it didn't have any good combos; which annoyed a lot of people.
ARC has been around a long time already though, and ACN is new, and ACN is Limsa class, so it wasn't available for those reasons. It would be odd to leave out ARC from beta, since it's Grid class.
it would be nice if ACN was available in ph3, but i doubt it. I think they wanna release it when it's all polished up, as not to give it a crappy first impression.

No no no, you missed my point. You were saying that ACN hasn't been shown since it was unfinished (months ago) and that's the reason we haven't been shown it, when in fact ARC has been in a much worse position yet they let new people play it without reservation so saying that about ACN is a moot point.

We know ACN wasn't available to play in Beta, and it's not just because it was an LL class, Yoshi has stated a long time back that the class won't be released until Launch; polishing it up has nothing to do with it, since none of the classes are polished at all. That's kind of the point of Beta =b

well even last LL, they said they were still working on the pet.
and it is/was unfinished, since it's a completely new class.
ARC has been around since start of 1.0. there's no reason to *hide* it. they are hiding ACN, cause it's new and unfinished.
How do you know ARC was in worse condition than ACN? ^^ For all we know, pet might have been unusable; they were still working on it last LL.
As for how ARC works in beta, that's nothing that can be talked about here

Your "common sense" is broken. They would never show us something that isn't finished?

/em looks back at all the live letters.

They do all the time. Welcome to my ignore list ^^

you're to short-sighted.
which is why i commented on your question to begin with.
