FFXIV Live Discussion and Re-Cap

[KingZeus]

#XIVLive Q: On the Lodestone, level 51-60 recipes were posted. What is the meaning of this? Will the level cap be lifted?

A: Whether the cap will be lifted is a separate question. We posted these recipes to show off some new items as well as the necessity for equipment for high level and crafts that level 50 players can gain experience from.

Q: Can you tell us about the new class system?

A: For the class adjustments, we are planning to have every class possess their own identity. Also, actions with multiple elements and facets to them. In regards to jobs, you will be able to take on job quests from level 30+, and once you complete those will you will be able to use those jobs.

Edited: took out misinformation

#XIVLive Q: Is there any information you can provide regarding the impending doom of Eorzea?

A: Out of the 4 keywords that I provided earlier in the year (FUN, LIVE, REBOOT, REBUILD), the keyword “LIVE” will have a huge impact for this event. You’ll notice many changes that will occur in the world of Eorzea. I would like you see the changes for yourself in patch 1.19 and then use your imagination for what’s to come.

I think that little tidbit with the Garleans taking out the aetheryte crystals is a hint as to what to expect with this new "LIVE" Eorzea - contested territories.

This is different than I imagined. So basically get a Class to 30 to unlock that Class' Job, which you will have to level up again from level 1.

I kinda thought they would unlock at 50 and start at 50, but that was all assumption. In any case, this makes it easier to get the Job you want and gives those who have already leveled to 50 something new to level.

Misread, you can "attach" a job to your class. So if you are a Gladiator 30, and just unlocked Paladin, you become a lv.30 Paladin, then you can take the job off, and be a lv.30 Gladiator again. Jobs are specs, not a whole new breed of classes.

Wow. That's not how I read it at all. It's hard enough with the vagueness from devs but we also have to deal with translations, sigh.

Hold on, there. It's doesn't say anything about level 1. It doesn't say anything about leveling jobs at all. It just explains how you can start to "use" a job.

It would be unwise to insert your assumptions.

All we can do is assume, since like you said, all they said is "use."

#XIVLive Q: Will you be able to convert equipment crafted with old recipes into materia?

A: Yes. The old recipes will disappear from the game, so convert all your beloved gear into materia and add it to the new equipment.

Q: Which Grand Company should I join? As the equipment rewards are different, I am having a hard time deciding.
A: There will be more chances to earn company seals coming and grand company balance overall will be adjusted. So don’t worry too much about rewards. You should pick the grand company you think is a good fit for you. Also we will not make changes in a way that friends in different grand companies can’t play together.

Q: Will there be a delivery system?

A: We will definitely be implementing a delivery system. Unfortunately, it’s something that is going to take time and I am unable to provide a date for that just yet.

Q: Do you have plans to add mandragora into Eorzea?

A: I will ask the character team if they can add it to their list!

Oh goody goody. That's the bit that had me worried earlier, but all good now.
