Translations (JP to English)

The current engine design requires everything to be double checked by the server, this was designed to stop things like item duping, speed hacks etc... the downside is this back and forth communication to see if each action is possible caused the player lag. The reason for a new engine is probably because they realised that the current one couldn't do what they had planned (this throws more fuel on the conspiracy theory that it was developed outside SE) so now they are doing a new engine designed for ffxiv.

Back and topic Great translation Reinhart that was a huge interview!

Thought I'd drop this here. Looks like blue mage isn't in the cards for now

Yep for now possible few years later but only YoshiP and few would know lol.

This was posted in Enemy Skill thread on the JP side regarding how Kouga want's actions specifically for mobs and some players can use and which Blue Mage can learn.

Good Evening,

基本的に敵だけが使う(そして青魔法として修得できる)アクションも欲しいです。
I would like monsters to use mob specific actions (which you can learn and Blue Magic spell)

現在モンスターだけが使用し今も、今までもプレイヤーが使えないアクションは、新生版でもモンスターだけが使えるアクションとして使用していきます。なお、青魔法自体の実装は、残念ながら現在のところ考えていません。
For actions which current monsters already use and which the players can't use will be carried over to 2.0 and only monsters will be using them. Sorry but we don't have any plans for Blue Magic Spells at this time.

I guess once you get the relic weapon quest hamlet reward for top rankers change from the seals needed to get the quest to highest beastmen currency. With this there was a bug for the Amalja currency which gave the mid currency (not the best one) Triairy confirming that this is a bug and will be fixed in 1.22c

Good evening,

コボルトは青金、イクサルは黒檀と上級貨幣がでるのですがアマルジャだけ上級貨幣の黒鋼でなく中級貨幣の黒鉄がでます。このまま放置されたら黒鋼貨幣集め るのたまにでる箱からのドロップと雑魚敵からのドロップのみとなり他２種の貨幣と比べて相当きつくバランスがとれてないように感じます。もしかして単純に 設定ミスですかね？
Kobolt and Ixali gives their highest currency but the Amalja one gives the mid range currency. If this is left like this in order for us to collect the highest currency only option is to get from the chest or drop from regular mobs. With that I think the balance compared to the other two currencies is much harder. Maybe this is just some setup mistake?

こちらの件ですが、不具合であることを確認しており、パッチ1.22cで修正を行う予定です。
ご報告ありがとうございました。
Regarding this one we confirmed it's a bug and planning to have it fixed in 1.22c

Quick question, wondering if I'm getting this right, but it sounds like that once you get the 3 Beastmen seals you'll no longer be able to obtain Beastmen seals and instead they'll be replaced by high lv currency?

Is that to say that the Hamlet requirements for Relics is a one time investment and once you obtain the seals along with the soiled Provisional, you no longer have to do the Hamlet requirement for future relics if you decided to go for more then one?

Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement blue mage. One of my linkshell member's characters bugged out one time and he actually had monster abilities set as his class abilities. He was running around spamming 1000 needles and stuff..it was pretty funny. I'm guessing Blue Mage isn't high priority for the next class introduced though.

As far as the beastmen currency, has there been any solid info on when it's going to be implemented for use? Right now I just keep piling it up on one of my retainers hoping I can use it some day.

This would be nice but it sounds rather optimistic. Maybe there's something in place when you have the relic quest flagged that you can't stock up anymore beastmen seals. It's just the pessimist in me, but SE hasn't been known to make things too convenient in the past. I guess the only way we'll know is when the quest is able to be completed and someone tries to start their second weapon.

That's what it sounded like from reading that person's original post.

First part the rep didn't quote from the poster

今日エールポートでランク１位をとってクエ受けた状態で貨幣をとってみましたがレリッククエうけた状態ですとランカー報酬に刻印がでなくなり変わりにコボルト、イクサル、アマルジャの貨幣がでるようになります。
Today I had first rank for Ale Port so went to get the seals while I already having the relic quest but when you have the relic quest the ranker reward changes from the seals to Kobolt, Ixali, Amalja currency.

Is that to say that the Hamlet requirements for Relics is a one time investment and once you obtain the seals along with the soiled Provisional, you no longer have to do the Hamlet requirement for future relics if you decided to go for more then one?

I have no clue as I don't have the relic quest going myself and we still can't clear the quest yet probably not till 1.22c
Hopefully you don't have to go through this crap over and over lol but knowing FFXI.... and if it was Tanaka he would do it... now would YoshiP do it... we don't know lol.

Nope no information regarding this one yet, I sold all mine to NPC when they announced they have no plans for them after JP players confirming this info couple times on the JP forums (was while back)... Now if they gonna say you need to bring in XXX currency for the final part of the relic quest it's gonna suck lol... orz

This is where my FFXI experience comes in. They say no use, I say "They made em for a reason, so I'll keep em tucked on a retainer for years if I have to."

Now to pray my 300 some Ixial currency come in handy >.>

And this is why I never sold my currencies.

I thought I remembered reading a rep post a while back saying they didn't have any plans for it, but they were looking into making it convertible to GC seals or something. That'd be nice at least. Maybe they won't be usable until 2.0 where they set up something like the BC battles again or something.
