Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXV! (Exploratory Missions)

[Renault]

Would really just like to have a fleshed-out explanation of this feature, because from the outside looking in, it's just larger scale hunts.

As for the question: Will each NM/HNM have distinct loot tables or will it be a random grab-bag from the whole zone?

[DeviFoxx]

The Fact that we will be able to encounter other people and Free Companies when exploring the islands. Won't this create unnecessary competition and turn Airship Explorations into Hunts / Centurio Seal Hunts / NMs & HNMs in Final Fantasy XI all over again? I can easily see this frustrating a lot of people who will fight over monster spawns.

[Cidel]

Could you elaborate on how loot and gathering will be handled?-

If players are in an alliance vs. 1 party, does the chest's contents become open for the entire alliance to roll on or does each party get its own loot pool? If each party is receiving its own loot, will the drop be completely random for each party?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

How many players are necessary to participate in this content ?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

Can you explain the differences between accessing the content via FC airships and non-FC airships ?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

If I use my FC airship to access the content, does this mean that only a party/alliance consisting of my FC members are allowed to participate, or can I invite friends from outside the FC as well ?

[KonaMochi]

Will you have to be all lvl 60 in order to participate in this? Can this be a way to help new FC members lvl, atleast from 50-60.

[Iromi]

How is this going to work without a claim system? It is not going to be hunts on islands, I hope?

[Zafran]

the weakest monster here is as strong as an A-Rank.
How strong is the strongest NM or HNM compared to other content of this game?
