Great info about the new job system that I hadn't seen mentioned much before.

Nice interview! Thanks for the link!

Some of the recent interviews have been touching upon the job system information that was in this interview, but I think this one had the most details out of all of them.

Good questions overall, glad to have read it.

Amazing info about the job system. Has me way more optimisitc about it.

Sexy new UI for the win? What?

Oh, and to quote Yoshida:

"Naoki Yoshida: Out of this release, the big impact was meant to be everything that will be released in 2.0, and then on top of that that we would start charging the monthly fees. But we'd like to bring up again that the billing system won't begin until after about two months. We want players to play the content of 1.19, and then play the content of the upcoming 1.20 patch, and then (after they've seen the progress we've made in those patches) decide on whether or not they want to accept the billing system. This is including people who have played the game and then quit -- we want them to come back in these two months, play the content that we've been providing, and then make that decision.

The other reason that we won't be starting billing for another two months is to make sure that people won't be afraid that the automatic billing is going to start right away without their being able to make the decision. Also, those people who got away from the game deserve time to get back, install all of the patches up until now, and have a period of time when they can still play for free and see the changes that we've made before making that decision on whether to pay or not."

That ought to quell the subscription complaints for now.

Some nice info on the job system there, interesting you will need to be skilled in 2 classes to unlock the system.

Im wondering as you progress along the quest path you need to keep your MRD levelled as well as your gladiator and I'm curious if MRD can equip the paladin stone, as he dodged that question

Glad to hear that UI changes will be coming prior to 2.0 as well
