Battle Reform Blueprint

by "we will look into it" I think it is more of the dev rep's on the forum's are not directly working on the game and have to ask the developer's working on the game for the info they can give to us. The rep's only know so much or are only allowed to tell us so much. They have to ask the individual teams how it is coming along in that regard or what they think of the idea's. I could be wrong, but rep's usually get the info they are told from the dev's so they have to go "look into it" to get the info that we require.

Except these are the answers from the devs through the reps.

i am a little confused overall... according to SE, the first big update is coming in mid june, with a ton of changes coming this summer.. 90% of these answers are "we will look into it" or "stamnia gauge is being removed"...what exactly have they done/been doing??

I think they mean
if they are looking into it, they are testing it now, seeing if it actually works with the systems, and what else it effects

If they will look into it, its not something currently on thier list, but they are acknowleging the suggestion, and will see if it is a good idea, eventually.

As far as what they have been doing, i think one of the letters or some post implied that up until recently they were still in the paper/idea phase of planning battle adjustments, it is only recently that they have actually begun implementing and testing thier ideas, so either they have been doing nothing, or something depending on how you view the planning phase of a project

than maybe they either haven't thought of those idea's. OR the better answer majority of those questions were so trivial they are deemed unnecessary to answer... lol which I would say is the case because half of those questions were pretty trivial in the aspect of what we really want to know of the future updates.

SE business culture probably.

I'm sure there's much more going on, but there's red tape that they just can't get through.

That's me giving them the benefit of the doubt, though. I could be totally wrong and they're just sitting around twiddling their thumbs all day, but I'd rather be optimistic and believe they're just not able to talk about all the stuff yet for a myriad of reasons, most of all red tape.

I don't think it's red tape. I think their developers are having trouble adapting to the HD era. 6 months later the answer is "we're thinking about it" or here's a "blueprint". They can't get with the times. So they're in for a big learning experience, and that's slowed them to a crawl.

That's also a possibility. They've said as much when speaking about FFXIII(which for the record I enjoyed, you vultures), and when speaking about how "hard it would be to make an FFVII remake."

With elongating the life cycle of HD consoles though, I think we can expect SE to reach their stride within a year or so. FFVII and VIII weren't as technically impressive as FFIX, FFX wasn't as FFXII, etc.

Thanks for the translations Bayhone, "we'll look into it"...That phrase is gonna show up in my nightmares tonight.

To me the response to any and all of the questions or statements makes the persons answering seem like they are annoyed to have to answer at all, but my thought is they are causing their own annoyances by not just simply truthfully answer a question the 1st time its asked with a definitive direct answer the whole thing is bs and a waste of time to read.

I really wish we could get a REAL producers letter with some actual info that makes ppl say "OOOHHH Ok so thats what you are gonna do".

Is no one else tired of having to guess, theorize, speculate about what is actually going to be done in w/e area of the game after reading this stuff we are being fed?

After you read and try to discipher these letters and "plans", "blueprints" w/e they wanna call it does it not feel like you are left asking the same question 100 different ways trying to get 1 straight foward answer?

So then what you get is tons of threads with ppl that just want a real answer and others that are glad none are givin so they can flame, and thoes that love that no one knows anything solid so they can speculate, ppl that want to troll, rage, whine, and thoes crazy loyalist and or elitist that spend all day scanning every single thread so that they can call the aforementioned ppl trolls/ragers/whiners ect.

My thought is all this would be a non factor if the poor middle man aka community reps. were either givin direct straight forward no crap info to pass along or allowed to actually see and tell the truth about the things that are in question.

Why does everything seem like a extreme secret that we must wait to find out the truth about?

Is it that they just dont want us to know this "plan" or the "plan" isnt actually there to know, and they are just biding time?
if its the later man the progress of this games improvement is way farther of then we think and I know you guys know that this game being even 1/2 complete is a long way off.

If these battle plans that are to be implamented in june .... (SE saying june undoubtingly meaning the very last week/day of the month) would it be so hard to actually show us a bit of what they have atm?

I mean i know if they did come out and say whats up instead of beating around the bush like its highly sensitive national security info, ppl would have less need for forums. I for one would be happy i dont know about others but i would rather play and enjoy the game IF i enjoyed it rather then camping the forums.

I would have thought that SE would agree that not letting the fans/players in on the real about whats being done/added/changed and exactly how would be the best thing for this product that they hope to make money off for a long time to come.

Maybe its just me?
Well thats my rant/whine/troll/theory w/e the f u wanna call it my request/demand however you wanna catigorize it, Is for some maybe some visual light to be shined on the blind that are tired of speculating on what is actually being done.

If I'm logged on the game for more than two hours, I receive a major recast delay. Constantly "you cannot use that currently" spam. If they remove the ability for me to use abilities I received from ranking up jobs on others because someone who is currently ranking up on that job is "bummed out", then count me in that "bummed out" crowd; because obviously my time shouldn't be rewarded with using abilities I learn from other jobs. What is the point of a game where I can level every job if I can't use those abilities I learn from those jobs on other jobs?
