General Questions for the FF14 Staff & Yoshi-P

[Galamantyl]

Your criticism is *so* very constructive. You don't like the ideas, comment on what would be better (or, as appropriate to this topic why these questions are so bad to ask). Otherwise, quit the trolling.

I am in favor of making statements simple and easy to understand.

I am strongly against trolls and trolling in general.

I am strongly against dumb people who accuse people of trolling when said people have not posted anything that is disruptive to the thread and have merely just voiced their opinions on the subject in a simple readable format

4.) I hate to use Final Fantasy 11 as a comparison so many times, but it did set a standard that 14 has to meet (though not necessarily in the same way). One of the things that seems lacking in 14 is the uniqueness of zones. Specifically, there do not appear to be many places in the world that are just really cool to see. For example, in La Thiene Plateau in 11, there were giant dandelions that rode the air currents, and in Jugnar Forrest there were giant mushrooms that shot spores into the air. These features were unique, visible only in one place in the entire game. Might we see more environment features like this in the future? It seems somewhat of an oversight, considering that this is a player v. environment game!

Nice questions all around.

To comment on #4 in particular, they have some things like this, but sadly not to the extent XI managed. In Mor Dhana, when it rains, Frogs come out and start croaking and chirping on the rocks. I liken these Frogs more to the Owl that looks at you in the Jugner Forest from XI.




On a complete side-note: Anyone remember those slab tablets in XI that talked about the summons and other lore that were scattered around the world? ;v Good times ;;

Good post.. Oh and look we have a like button now... Me thinks I will click on that then type this little sentence to keep the thread /bumped.

Excellent post! Hitting the like button and I hope you get the questions answered. I agree with the OP about the chocobo question, Yoshi-P seems to dance around that question at every interview. This is just my opinion, but i'm guessing we're not going to be seeing chocobos until we have access to Ishgard, maybe the same with airships.

[Jinko]

Good post hopefully it will get pased on to the dev team.

I am wondering if there is something at fault with the game engine that is stopping them implementing chocobos, unless of course they are holding back for PS3/expansion.

[Zantetsuken]

Don't just bump, hit "Like" on the OP as well. It's there for a reason.

Well this so-called dumb person was merely stating that walking in and stating you're against SE giving this thread any attention whatsoever without any explanation is, by definition, trolling. You're not being "simple and easy to understand," you're just trying to be aggravating.

Thanks though.

I really enjoyed reading those questions. I especially am interested in the question regarding environments

[origamikitsune]

I added question #8, finally, after spending so much time in the Item/Synth/Gathering forums.
