FINAL FANTASY XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXV

[Ultimatecalibur]

Dinosaurs ...... what the heck?

Its the Brachiosaur from FF6. It was an incredibly powerful random encounter that used Meteor, Ultima and Snort.

Its likely one of the HNM in the exploration missions.

No, dude, it's a dinosaur...from real life.

Either you are being sarcastic or you didn't follow the link I posted. FF6 had a two "dinosaur type" dragon designs Tyrannosaur (based loosely on the Tyrannosaurus Rex) and Brachiosaur (based loosely on the Diplodocus). The monster's color pallet (tan top, pink underbelly) match up with the coloration used for the Brachiosaur in game.

I mean I wasn't around 65 million years ago to see it for myself, but I'm pretty sure the dinosaur mob in the 3.1 video is based on the Brachiosaurus not the Diplodocus (from the shape of the skull).

Swotting up on the FFVI mob tells me that the Brachiosaur in that game was named so as an approximate phonetic match of the Japanese 'Burakioreidosu'. I don't know what that means in English because Google won't tell me, but it sounds like the localisation team used the term 'Brachiosaur' because coincidentally it sounded similar. Nothing to do with Dippy though.

And everyone knows that Dinosaurs were created by Richard Dawkins and Steven Spielberg to sell more Pepsi to heathen unbelievers.

[Xairos]

Its new mob models! Embrace it!!

[Gunspec]

Looks like I'll be celebrating the launch of 3.1 by playing Fallout 4.

[Nestama]

Yeah, that release date is pretty unfortunate and what most, if not, all potential Fallout 4 players feared...

Someone is doing a live translation here on their twitter, giving the jist of the messages that Yoshida is speaking about that isn't on a slide or video.

You need to unlock flying every time you enter the Island, why do they have to make everything tedious?
