TGS Live Letter Discussion

[Magnesium02]

The letter is being streamed through NicoNico, no official twitch or youtube streams. Niconico Link

However if I read it right, there might be alternate sources. Awesome cygneakrou from last time will be attempting live translation His Twitch Link Also if you missed it, you can find screens of the Eorzean Census Here.

Credits go to the awesome people hosting and compiling information.

I hope there's a way for me to watch this one. I don't want to feel left out.

[Magnesium02]

Just started!

----
Super Brief summary of translation - based on cygneakrou's translation. subject to human error

Topic 1: Housing
Same response as forum posts

Topic 2: Sands and oil are so much easier
New tomestones are coming soon. Let people catchup to i110 as soon as they can to be ready

Topic 3: Can we get Nexus values in numbers rather than vague terms every 200
No. Working as intended

Topic 4: New dyes?
Will be available in 2.4. Ingredients come from retainer ventures

TOpic 5: Easter eggs like emoting to minions have special effects
Yoshida doesn't know them all himself. Not all might even be found. He thinks they are fun.

Topic 6: 2.4 title
Talked about reasons for calling it

Topic 7: New Dungeons
Snowcloak. Sastasha (Hard), Qarn (Hard) me: Yay Snowcloak. Yay Sastasha. OMG NOOOO Qarn. Snowcloak music is pretty

Topic 8: Shiva Instance
Instance is called "The Ahk Afab Amitheatre". Will be Hard and Extreme. You can fall down but there are steps to get back up! Arena is SUPER pretty

Topic 9: Shiva Info
Will be party of Main Scenario. Dunno ilvl but most likely weapons.

Topic 10: Will there be a new Primal Focus quest
No plans at moment, but is interesting.

Topic 11: New Class Job - Rogue/Ninja
Ninja poisions/dot do NOT work like how we currently understand Dots. Combos are also different.

Topic 12: Any special requirements for Ninja?
You can't choose Rogue as a starter class. You have to get another battle class to 10. Not revealling the cross class skills. But sneak will NOT be able to be used by other jobs

Topic 13: Throw
No ability called Throw. Their policy is no class will have a consumable that can run out (i.e. arrows, Shuriken)

Topic 14: Coil #3
Will be the last coil. Savage mode maybe in 2.5. Haven't decided.

Topic 15: Coil story
Eventually coils will be redundant content so harder for newbies to complete. Might look into ways for people to get story without doing it after coil storyline is wrapped up

Topic 16: Weddings
Planned to be ready for 2.4. Don't call it Marriage! It is Eternal Bond!

Topic 17: Can you port to your partner?
You will have a chocobo instead

Topic 18: The Ixali Gloves are weak!
Ixali quests were designed for new crafters not existing hardcore crafters, so gloves aren't OP

Topic 19: Add routette for CT?
May make Labyrinth of Ancients clearable by smaller parties. Also lower dungeons could be come solo.

Topic 20: Complaint about frontline teams starting with different numbers (i.e. one GC at disadvantage)
No plan to change as would mean longer queues

Topic 21: Please increase Levi Mirror drop
Maybe

Topic 22: "Savage" Primals?
It would be hard to make somthing more difficult than extreme

Topic 23: Wolves Den Matching
Frontlines is more popular. Gonig to try to make wolves den more interesting to get more numbers. Adding a PvP rankign system

New class, Shiva, 3 new dungeons, New housing wards, New MSQ, New Hildebrand, 3rd Coil, New tomestone type, Pvp change, Ilvl increase

Topic 17: Can you port to your partner?
You will have a chocobo instead

As I thought. Those that raged when refer a friend gave a shared chocobo mount, jumped to conclusions. All 63 of them. As SE promised, eternal bond will also have it.

You realise the Eternal Bond dual chocobo is a completely separate mount from the Draught Chocobo.



It is white with fancy barding. If you want the original Draught Chocobo you will still need to use a refferal

No shit. Those people were however angry because they though that was the ONLY way to get a shared chocobo. And that there wouldn't be a shared mount for eternal bond. It is totally fine to make different mount skins obtainable through multiple methods. As it has always been for any other game.

This sounds like he's talking about the Ehcatl Wristflovs (the ilvl 6 pair). What about the Ehcatl Smithing Gloves (ilvl 70)? There was a suggestion that they might give us back the 3 CP..,

I think the whole question itself was addressed as the smithing gloves (From what I remember watching the stream last night). So safe to say they're not gonna give it any better stats. Max-melded gloves still gonna be on top, but oh well.

Uggh, stuck at work and shoddy internet service atm. Hoping there are screen caps + translated bullet points.
