Didn't reps respond about Roegadyn (Galka!) female and Mi'qote male? Put those 2 new race + new area + hair styles + some golden subligar and people will take that second look for sure. Specially the golden subligar.

If that PS3 launch is ANYTIME soon, then don't count on an expansion to help it along. They are having a hard enough time getting nessicary changes out the door in a decent amount of time as it is. Im certain they havent been building an expansions worth of content and such on the side.

If they are smart they wont bother with the ps3 version until 1) combat is finalized 2) jobs system in place 3) transports are up (bird/airship) 4) decent bit of endgame content available 5) re-design of zones are done.

releasing before those things are out would be a sure-fire death ticket for the game. If one of the drastic things like the world or combat or classes are still changing and the ps3 players get their hands on it, the first thing they will think is that they are paying for a beta.

Concerning Materia crafting, can someone delve into more information on that in this thread?

I don't see why people have this huge problem with 2 class = 1 job system. It's basically how FFT/A/A2 worked. You gained abilities in multiple jobs to unlock the advanced jobs. The system has been used before, it works and it's actually pretty great. If anything it enforces the spirit of the armoury system. You're supposed to level multiple classes, not just one.

I agree, I'm not seeing the problem with it. If anything, it gives you more things to do.

Wasn't that what everyone was wanting in the first place?

I think they are having some troubles with investors abit reason patches are moving slowly and other games are being made that may bring a profit. I think sony lost something like 8 billion this year. Which is alot... so idk. But in any case i like this game and hope something happens.
