what was that

[Vahlnir]

What else is there though besides the 2.3 part two letter Thursday? I mean they could obviously throw stuff in at the end to throw the JP Playerbase a bone since most of them probably missed this, but this was supposed to be the E3 stream where all of our hopes and dreams would be confirmed or crushed and instead of doing that they talked about hug emotes.

I don't know and neither does the rest of us, I'm just speculating :P

Was a BIG letdown, they announced 1 class Rouge while at same time smashing any dreams of a Thief job because there can't be guilds in a city? So make the guild outside the city you morons! Make a town somewhere for the guild, what an awful reason and I don't even care about that Job! And announced 1 job Ninja which IS awesome, BUT E3 is where I was hoping to peak my interest for another year of FFXIV and in that department I was letdown. I'll continue to sub, but I will definitely be the type who logs in once a day for an hour and twice a week for coil and always hoping there is more to do on the horizon.

Okay cool.

snip.

To be perfectly honest, i've known about E3 for a few years, but this is the first time i've actually tuned in, so basically, i don't have a standard bar to set it with lol.

But yeah, i can understand what you mean about the questions. The three you mentioned were parts I enjoyed, but i was a little confused about how mundane some of the presented questions were. I personally wanted to know about Chocobo Raising and if crafting was going to come into all that kinda thing. But yeah, i'm easy-pleasy lol.

Out of curiosity since you are dissapointed, what questions would you ask instead?

[Vahlnir]

And how often do you play your Lancer? classes are not played past 30....

I'm aware of that, but thank you for the information. Every day if you want to know. But back on topic: what I was getting at is they are giving us Rogue, which is essentially Thief, but making it's job Ninja. It's kinda like Bards who are Archers/Rangers, then have a job that's a combination of 2, Bard.

The only thing that I wished they would have announced is the 2.3 release date, but I suppose that will probably come on Thursday, in Japanese, with no official translator and no more reinheart D:

Several of the questions asked were questions I saw posted in the thread specifically asking for questions so I think Bayonne did a fine job myself. Ninja looks awesome but I'm still curious about the mysterious gun job :P

I was pretty disappointed about Thief/Rogue being the class and not a job myself. I loved my thief in FFXI and very much dislike ninja, but that's just my personal opinion. The thing about the guild not being in a town as a reason...Little Ala Mhigo I think would be perfect lol.

I could have misheard, but was there a little bit of a timeline in there somewhere. Fanfest October 2.4 before October? Mind you, it's 11pm here and i'm bloody tired so i might just be confused lol.

Musketeer. Chocobo Raising. Golden Saucer. Expansion. New Race. You know, things that are actually interesting and worthy of a live stream from the e3 show floor.

I say this not to start an argument, or voice displeasure (though I have a little after watching that live letter), but to once again be disappointed to find out Eastern developers are open to displaying they don't hold us western/worldwide fans in the same regard as their home fans.

Wait and watch. The Japanese live letter, and any other Japanese language events during E3 will have any "real" or "exciting" reveal info. If not from E3, it will be the next live letter from Japan. Then you will see the western audience, is and will always be a secondary (less important) market. Feedback and fixes always come based on the primary audience, and that is just a fact. OK we got to see the new class/job for like 30 seconds. We all knew it was coming and the reveal was a bit underwhelming.

The fact that, at the biggest stage in gaming, in the whole industry (bias because its western/English?) They left us with next to nothing. Especially with Shiva gracing the banner, then during the English live letter they basically say they can't tell us anything about Shiva, only that she is gonna be talked about soon and she was put on the banner because Ramuh wasn't "sexy enough."

Looks alot like this:

Player riding mount (Yoshida) -> Fat Chocobo mount (you) and it feels bad.
