JPGAMES.DE Interview with Yoshida Naoki

[Andrien]

So what about Shield level?

[Alerith]

So what about Shield level?

What about it?

[Zantetsuken]

So Yoshi-P confirms cross-class prerequisites for Jobs.

And we'll have Non-Pet, One-shot Primal Summoning (with environmental changes too!!)

And of course, the map redesign.

Everything I've ever wanted, and then some~

[Burn]

I thought the questions were bad to be honest.

[Bethor]

I wonder if it will be:

30 CNJ + 15 THM = WHM
30 THM + 15 CNJ = BLM

This will allow the black mage to use the elemental attacks from CNJ and actually make sense.

!!!!

30 THM + 15 PUG = BLU

;D!!!!!!!!!!!

They better add that job soon or Ima ragequit! /fume

Aside from again using that weird amusement park analogy.. .. seriously what's with that? I mean yeah it's kinda true but I'd be really leery of just bandying it about so; a lot of people prefer to think of MMO's as worlds and the theme park aspect as an unfortunate side-effect of not being able to actually make a proper world yet.

ANYWAY.

Aside from that, that was a good interview and informative to boot. 'Kinda hope Forra won't have to wear that Dragoon armour, though.. but the ideas behind primal summoning are really nifty, and same for housing - especially that hint about it heavily involving the Disciples of the Hand.

I hope the talk of the graphics engine was also a reassurance we'd not see a slip in visual quality in the engine switch.. I wish they'd be clearer about that.

Thanks for linking that.

Aside from again using that weird amusement park analogy.. .. seriously what's with that?

Never heard of themepark vs. sandbox analogy before? The former is an MMO disguised as a game, the latter is an MMO that doesn't even try to be a game.

[Shneibel]

here is the link I found random from google

the endless sandbox vs the safe theme park

[Kiote]

So, Yoshida said Jobs will have secondary requirements.. Specifically PLD will require 30 GLA 15 MRD. Wouldnt it make more sense for a PLD to require a Healer as it's secondary?

[Kiote]

I wonder if it will be:

30 CNJ + 15 THM = WHM
30 THM + 15 CNJ = BLM

This will allow the black mage to use the elemental attacks from CNJ and actually make sense.

This again? Yoshida already said he was going to move some abilities around. I doubt, however, he is going to take the Elemental magic away from the class who "Speak with the elementals"
