rough translation of live letter XV

[Rivest]

my buddy (Aigs) is translating as much as he can with me on chat
it's not perfect, but...



EDIT: Screencaps and recap of the Live letter on Dualshockers, link below!

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/...ming-and-more/

so far regarding the PVP:

- 24 v 24 v 24
- there will be PVE monsters
- you will be able to change classes/jobs (?)
- the capture point/flag > you get points when it's in your control but it's influenced by the amount of players that are in there 1 gridanian vs 3 limsa = favor of limsa
- the match will start as long as there are 8-16 people on each team
- ilevel is synced to 80 and moral has NO INFLUENCE (might be because of balancing?)

Housing

- Housing + Chocobo's > we're only get a part of the feature it's not complete yet >> might be raising chocobo's
- Keeping the chocobo's as housepet
- theyre increasing the maximum chocobo level
- you will be able to reset your chocobo's skills
- you will be able to change colour of chocobo in 2.3
- personal houses will be the same size (didnt hear it right, might be wrong)
- something about getting another room in an FC house (?) additional room for 30.000? (not sure about this one, might be 300k)
- they're talking about stuff that you can put in the house/ out of the house (like garuda sofa out of the house, but this will not be possible) no inside furniture outside.

problems with audio >_< preparing for CT

Crystal Tower
- Item level 100 drops
- we cant see the monsters atm because he didnt clear boss yet
- they have no plans to release it as explorable area > it's gonna be a dungeon only
- they're messing with the camera, because they dont want to spoil the place > they only show small parts

they are showing what ninja can get from CT in next patch > there is also a throne from ramuh?

- this patch no gilgamesh quest
- gilgamesh will come back later with more weapons, he only has a few weapons at the moment
((Missed bits here))
- there will be a new substory questline for an NPC (didnt catch the name)
- there will be a quest about hildibrands mother, but it's not coming out yet

Misc Q&A
- if you die in dungeon that CD's will be reset (like skills that have long cd) > they're looking into it but it's not coming yet
- marriage will not break after changing race/sex, it's eternal / true love so it wont change after changing race (or something like that)
- will there be endgame content for 4 people? they're thinking about it to bring in more content for 4 people to balance out endgame for 8/24 people, but no confirm yet.
- there will be new crafting recipe's for accessories
((missed part about FC))
- they're talking about other games that yoshiP is interested in (not relevant to FF XIV) Left 4 dead and interested in Destiny closed alpha (lol)
- yoshi p is worried about japanese gaming industry regarding the new gen > lot of competition from the west

Powerpoint
- They're talking about the release date of patch 2.3 > it will be the 8th of July (the powerpoint said 7th of july?)
- Yoshi is complaining of a tight schedule that week, in worst case someone will have to fill in for Yoshi P
- they're showcasing a book/catalogue that has all the clothing/gear up to patch 2.3 in there it will be for sale in july.
- talking about Fanfest dates and locations
- there will be a livestream of the fanfest
- last words: they;re doing their best to make the patch 2.3 ready as fast as possible and to release it early next month

This concluded the Live letter and the translation here of.

I probably missed quite a few things, but for now I'm happy with the info that was available.
