Beastman Coins

[Physic]

I doubt that is the case. It's Tanaka's fault these things are in the game in the first place, and considering the unfinished state of the game at retail release, if there was a "plan" I doubt it would have been anything more than "we'll fix it later", as was the philosophy they applied to every other aspect in the game.

the npcs and old leaked item lists imply there was going to be some kobold gears, npcs who craft talk about setting up kobold workers in his shops, and other npcs mention if you could find a way to deal with kobolds you might get their secrets. So, its fair to say they probably had some plans for deals with beastmen, and content built around that. It probably just got scrapped or put on indefinite haitus.

Or maybe they are somehow involved with the beastmen encampments that are coming but the devs don't want to reveal how just yet because the plans could change.

One could call it a "plan" in some form or another, but I doubt Tanaka's team had anything concrete. There are a lot of things that NPCs say that allude to stuff that should be in the game but currently isn't.

Even if the development team hadn't gotten reformed, I don't think we'd have seen anything regarding beast coins in the game by now.

Aldgoat skins are like the same as beastcoins >.>

I agree with most people on this, jesus christ...figure it out, make them useful.

I can think of several reasons to use these, collect enough to do BCNM fights...etc.
Maybe not very unique but familiar.

Or atleast let us have them in the currency slot until it get's decided, i'd hate to
throw em away at this point since it's not been decided.

Oh this, double plus please. Even in the descriptions field, it calls itself currency. We have a special tab for that, let's give it some more love.

In that same vain, maybe we can purchase beastmen skills, much like how guild mark points are used.

Honestly I think the answer we received in this thread was simply a cover so they don't hint towards the true nature of their plans. It's easier and more believable to say "we aren't sure yet, it's a 50/50" than "no comment" and have people speculating like crazy.

These items will do something, they just don't want to tell us what it is because that will affect their economic impact on the game LARGELY before the "purpose" is ever actually released. Essentially they don't really want more than a few smart players to have built up a massive stash of these items and then be able to use them all on the first day of content release and become some sort of God.

I know what they are used for!

You know when you buy new electronics, and sometimes there is a little plastic spacer shoved in the usb port or whatever so the port doesn't get dirty? Beastcoins are like that little plastic spacer. They make it so that your inventory slot doesn't get gunked up with all those useful items!

Okay, someone made these things. Some PERSON in Square Enix HAS to have a vague concept why they exist. Seriously. For real. If that's not the case, and there's any question left about what went wrong with this game...welll..you have people making entire sets of things that no one even knows why they're being made...

FPWEUIHWERNFWEPO THAT IS WRONG. WHO DOES THAT...WHY WOULD YOU EVER...HOW DO YOU...I DON'T EVEN...

Good freaking grief this is the crystalized reason why we're in this mess.
Because none of us know what freaking beast coins are for.
Not a single person. Not a player. Not a developer. No one?. And yet there they are.

Nidhogg Scales.
Cardian cards.
Doll Gizmo. (Although apparently it's now known to have an indirect purpose)
