Questions and Feedback on the Future of FINAL FANTASY XIV

[wiremeshi]

Okay here I go! "dives in"

1) With billing you mentioned more information at a later date. But I would like to know what sort of changes e.g "we will be stopping click and buy services etc"

2) I have grown quite attached to my character. I'm one of those people that loves to mess around on sliders for hours (I exaggerate there a bit) making my character just they way I like it (fallout 3 was very bad for me wasting my time lol) will you be adding to existing model archetypes? or will you be removing some?

3) How much of our characters will be exported to the new game I.e will any aspects be left out of classes/jobs when 2.0 is launched?

4)You mentioned you will be handing out 2.0 free of charge when it is released. Will this be a download update or a posted copy to existing members?

5)Will there be any special items for members that started on original release? (like me ) wouldn't have to be something major but a nod to community that started way back in September 2010 would be nice

I'm sure there lots of questions I have but they will have to wait or I've deemed them not too important. anyways all of this should be interesting to see and with that Good health "Drinks some tea"

From the last Q&A list I could see that some question come in form of 'asking" too right? so here is my part:

1.Please give a way for R50 DoL(gatherer) and R50 DoH(crafter) to be able to form spirit bond. Currently, only R30-40 could get spirit bond well, while R50 face nearly impossible wall to spirit bond.


2.You removed "evasion" from equipment, so do you plan to make any balance adjustment for "light equipment" to have something equally reward for its loss of "Defend" compare to "heavy equipment" ?

Dear Yoshi-P

You have announced "Market improvements" for 1.20, Could you be more specific as to what type of improvements we can expect? Will this be an Auction House, or will the Auction House not be available until 2.0?

I would like to play as a male miqote and I would like to have the option to have a more masculine bodied one. I just look at the concept art and see all the Japanese male classmates I go to school with here in Tokyo, one actually looks creepily like the concept art... Now I don't mind the models as they are but at least have 1 body option that is a bit more beastly looking I want the option to choose

I'm currently a high-level player but I have a few friends that are waiting on the PS3 version, who will be starting anew. By the time the PS3 version hits I will probably be out of low-level classes and will be unable to assist them with a lot of things in the current game aside from PL'ing. Will there be a lot of content that I can do with them at low and mid-levels that I won't be able to trivialize with my high level?

Are there any plans to re-introduce Level Sync? I have no problems with Powerleveling but it's a lot more fun to be a full-fledged party member...

I copy and pasted this off the Lodestone for you:

The New FINAL FANTASY XIV and the PlayStation®3 System Version

"Between October and December of 2012, we plan to integrate the current service and the coming PlayStation®3 version into the all-new FINAL FANTASY XIV. At this time, a second free trial period will also be offered.

Among our new plans is the fundamental reworking of in-game maps. As part of this process, there will be a period required for switching over to a new client and new servers, after which there will be a large transfer of data when service is brought back online.After the new client is completed, new software for the PC version will be distributed online, and can be acquired free of charge. Character data and progress for players already playing the PC version will also be preserved, allowing those players to continue using their in-game avatars. Another announcement will be made in the future as the day on which the new FINAL FANTASY XIV software will become available for download draws near, and the PlayStation®3 system version officially released."

Not sure what you're talking about here. I'm R50 fisher and I've spirit bonded all of my gear a number of times now. I don't think it's based as much on XP for gatherers, I think it's more to do with successful gather attempts.

I agree with holding out for pay tell. 2.0 UNLESS you all will be putting out just an onslaught of new content in that time.And my only other question would be are we buying 2.0 as a expansion or players currently don't need to buy it?

Other then that breath taking sooner the better i rather have the game go down for a week and come back re done then wait a year + that's just me~

PLEASE info on the LS system changes " set for 2011 sept-oct "?
