Live Letter from the Producer - Discussion Thread

[Gamer3427]

So, from what little details there are in the translation document, it sounds like we have quite a lot of content to expect from this patch. Aside from the new 24 player raid, the main thing I'm interested in is to see how the new Relic works. I never did the relic questline for weapons prior to 3.0, and as a MCH main, I'd have to wait until this patch before I can start on it anyhow. However, when I learned that after a certain point you could customize the stats of the weapon to better suit your play style, that did pique my interest, and I'm really hoping that something similar exists in these new iterations. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see for more details though.....

Is there a list of screenshots taken from the letter as well as all of the info revealed?

I posted screenshots of almost all slides in first few pages of this thread.

I know the Afro is new, but is the hairstyle the female is wearing new too.....?

Not sure about that. Seems like females are getting new hat, so might not get hair.

That Haurchefant portrait is great, but I'm really hoping they don't use that as an excuse to skimp out on that minion they said they were going to make...

I wish they went into more detail on airship explorations for those of us who aren't FC members. While they did say we could still take part, the lack of details makes me feel that those of us who prefer to remain unattached are gonna get gimped compared to FC runs.

The last thing in Mr. Happy's translation.

"Warning people about FC theives"

We had just prevented something like that. Someone joined us at level 1, started asking strange questions

"where's the house?"
"Where's the bank?"
*they put 10 gil into the bank*
"Can i have some money?"
*we ask why they need money at level 1*
"I need to get back to Gridania"
"When can i craft, i need money?"
(they had previously asked for several hundred thousand gil, but never specified what for)

...That thief shouldve been named Mr. Obvious

One thing for people concerned about particular pets giving an unfair advantage:

One thing they mentioned was that each Minion has a 'cost' which goes against a total quota of minions you can field at the same time. The stronger the minion, the more it costs. That means that even if one minion has great abilities, the opponent could be fielding 2 - 3 weaker minions for the same quota cost. So you can have a couple of really strong minions but your enemy could be fielding a lot more minions than you and since this game involves defending locations, being very outnumbered could be really bad.

Still no new housing. We need new plots and housing available.

We have a system where, you put in the time/effort and you get the gear and look at the post of people with "nothing to do". The O.F. will welcome the RNG gods with open arms if it means having a reason to repeatedly run content.
