Were encampments coming in 1.18 then? Or 1.19?

**Rowyne** · 06-27-2011 03:42 PM

Wow, thank you, Kristina! We get very excited on the NA forums when there is new information, but it's frustrating when we can't understand it. >.<

We've been running poor Reinheart ragged, this weekend.

Speaking of... I wonder if he's still working on translating this atm? >.<

**Volsung** · 06-27-2011 03:42 PM

+1'ed. Thank you for this translation. It has a lot of important information, that we are not privvy to. Well, some stuff I had not expected, and some I did. Some of the armor talk as in materia and active parameter stuff has my attention piqued.

Since someone will lose sleep over this:

Yes Yoshida used the word "uber".

ZOMG he did! He's hip with the MMO lingo.

**Buttons** · 06-27-2011 03:46 PM

Thank you so much for the effort you put into translating that interview. ^_^/

And wow that sure is interesting, I am so excited to hear about Bard! It was my favourite and main class in FFXI so I'll be so happy to see it in some form in FFXIV.

**Soma** · 06-27-2011 03:44 PM

that was much needed.

thank you Kristina

Some of the things mentioned are good (new tutorials, and the fact they are trying to make the game more universally acceptable).

But the job system just sounds so crap... FFS. Essentially they are ruining the armory system. Just remove the armory system if you're going to ruin it!

Also, a crafter is now a materia-worker? All gear will be dropped from NMs and all crafters will do is upgrade materia slots?

Lame!

Are they trying to ruin the game even more?

Materia craft are planned to be the route to the most "uber" gears. Which means the planners will let [materia buffed gear] > [NM dropped gear]

Thanks a lot for the translations Kristina, but please allow me to re-translate the quoted information above, as it seems giftforce has misunderstood the system.

In the quoted portion, it says:

"The Materia system will allow you to make the best gear, and for those interested in the best gear; the materia system is balanced in a way where attaching/adding materia to crafted gear will have better results then attaching them to NM dropped gear."

I apologize if my translation is not 100% correct, but it does literally say that Materia enhanced crafted gear will show better results then Materia enhanced NM dropped gear. Kristina also included this information " [materia buffed gear] > [NM dropped gear]" just not a word to word translation. So thank you again Kristina for the translations and the new information.
