Letter from the producer live XXIV

[maelor]

The description said Yoshi would talk about 3.1 and answer questions from the forums. I don't see a thread for questions from the forums so I'm going to post stuff here...

Keeping this short and sweet.

1. Please make all medicines more useful. Most are useless. I know you said you are rebalancing potions and ethers but the others need lots of helps too.
2. Future of gathering/crafting. Please give it more of a purpose.
3. love the new flying in new zones, it is way fun, but I miss being forced to explore the ground.
4. How is egi glamour coming along? I quickly got over that we are not getting new egi's but still need something other than just current ones.
5. New zones? Once we can ride our airships will we be going to totally new places?
6. Maybe new kind of instanced content that isn't a traditional dungeon but is more of a smaller instanced zone.

Just some ideas.

You're still forced to explore on ground to gather the aether points, and do the quests required for it, otherwise I don't know what you're suggesting. The removal of flight, or maybe areas that don't allow it that aren't just city/town areas?

That was already answered in a previous Live Letter, actually:

They barely even started on it, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them revealing anything substantial (aside maybe some concept planning/sketches) this soon.

1) Please for the love of the twelve, make adjustments to legendary nodes for gathering.

Legendary nodes of all things? oO

I actually think those are ''okay'' as they are. Apart from where they all spawn at one of two times. However since you dont need the items on there in large quantity that is ''okay'' as well.

Glamour is a purpose. IRL I buy Shirts because they look good on me not because they give me +5 to computers typing.

Maybe said purpose shouldn't be so restricted behind class then; if it is such a purpose and not, say, an excuse?

Stats worth our efforts might be pretty nice too.

But what if you could? Mind blown

I would love to hear more about a better variant to the Favors system.

Sometimes I wish that teleporting in cities were chocobo rides instead XD. Then I could see all the players along the way and maybe even learn of paths/shortcuts I wasnt aware of. Also, instead of listing the teleport points maybe bring up the map and allow us to click on the destinations...
