Thread: Chocobos in 1.18?

Looks like it may be possible for 1.19.

From my translation thread.

JP has same thread as the NA side about ways to have players spend the gil to control the economy and YoshiP has responded a while ago so here's the translation for that.

正直に言えば、ギルについては非常に頭を悩ませているポイントです。
（経済循環の全体デザインという意味ではなく、貯め込んで頂いたギルと、排出速度について）
パッチ1.19で3国飛空艇/チョコボ関連/マテリアクラフト/レシピ改修などにより、
現在よりギルの使い道は大幅に増加します。
ただし、膨大に貯め込まれたギルが、どう動くのか予測しきれていない部分もあります。
ですので、パッチ1.19をかわきりに、消費先をどんどん拡大させた上で、
ギルの排出と消費を見ていこうと思っています。対応ははじめていますので、宜しくお願いします。
Honestly the gil issue is troubling me.
(Not meaning design of the total economic cycle but the gil the players have saved, usage rate)
In patch 1.19 3country Airship/Chocobo Related/Materia Craft/Recipe improvements should increase ways to utilize the gil.
But we cannot forecast how the gil will move for the huge amount of gil.
So in patch 1.19 expanding methods to consume more gil, and watch. We are already working on this.

Not to sidetrack this topic, but one of the main reasons gil doesn't flow is the market wards. Yes they've improved them a lot and they are functional, but they arent accessible enough to allow gil flow.

Another reason is that there really isnt epic gear and such to spend gil on. This is what happens when you make a lot of good NM gear rare/ex. I think the introduction of rare ingredients and armor will increase gil flow. Sounds like dungeons may be addressing this?

No. Next question.

^ This, /topic.

chocobos are not coming in 1.18, I have no idea where you got that

i believe he misunderstood end of summer plans for for patch 1.18.

Just like people seem to think end of summer means late August, even though the dev team has specifically stated the end of summer is the end of September.
