The Mystery of Coil Turn 3

[Yukiko]

Gamer Escape: With the live letter from the producer, there was a question about moon phase and direction with crafting (room laughs) I was really surprised! You’ve been so honest and straightforward with your answers and you didn’t really tell us anything! Can you give us a yes or no on if there’s something that affects crafting outside of stats?

Yoshida: Yeah I heard about this… it goes back to the times of FFXI where everyone’s talking about moon phases or that you have to face northeast to get a higher chance of things not breaking or high quality. What it comes down to for example like… this item will make this Materia. That type of information is necessary because I don’t like the player to try and make, for example, that enmity Materia from an item that will never produce it because that’s not fair to the player because they don’t know that. So releasing that type of data to the player that says “ok this item will get you a chance to get this” I’m all for it. But when it comes down to like moon phases, it comes down to what the player believes. There are times when that belief actually helps the player. If the player believes enough then maybe that will help them, or if they feel that will help them get the result they want then it works for them. But people that don’t want to believe that, that works for them as well. It’s something I’d rather keep a mystery because I like letting the players having something to believe in. But when it comes to an actual probability type of thing, those stats I’m not afraid of revealing which is why we’re going to be releasing that Materia table.

Gamer Escape: (sigh) I tried.

Koji: You’re never going to get an answer! You’ll have to wait until Final Fantasy XVII Online or something like that and maybe the next director will say.

Yoshida: By saying yes or no, it might destroy a little piece of somebody inside… you know, that dream they have that facing northwest is really going to help and.. maybe it does!

I love X-files so.. the truth is out there! That should be your answer. (room laughing) Trust no one! The truth is out there, trust no one! Fight the future is my motto. I’ve got it on all my e-mails! Fight the future!

I was surprised to see a dev saying clear words, but still... it is on us to believe him! If players are thinking there is some secret about it, do not destroy their hope and faith!
