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.

there seems to be some issues with the twitter, therefor the random conversation.

- yoshi p is worried about japanese gaming industry regarding the new gen > lot of competition from the west

This one is really Japanese gaming industries fault. A lot of westerners play JRPG and others because they are/where different from western once. But now they have started to focus more on imitating western games.

This one is really Japanese gaming industries fault.

That is indeed true. Sadly PR just can't understand it and the whole "westernize" jrpgs only had a negative effect.

[razzgrizz3]

so the patch is now even more delayed? gg. have fun bleeding more subs

[Keres]

- They're talking about the release date of patch 2.3 > it will be the 8th of July (the powerpoint said 7th of july?)

The Powerpoint said patch release on the 8th, patch notes on the 7th.
