two interviews in France by Naoki Yoshida (English)

[Hyrist]

Magitek Armor from FFVI being actively considered for player mount.

o.O

Do want.

Dragoon + Magitek Armor = Very Visually Intimidating + no need for ejection seat.

[Malakhim]

While we have the materia system from FFVII in here, it's really related by name only.

I'm a huge proponent for magitek anything, but they should probably be original designs for FFXIV as opposed to repurposing those from the Magitek Empire.

I can't wait until next week. Hopefully we'll finally be able to see the contents of that bloody laptop of his.

What is a Yoshida's laptop? A miserable little pile of secrets.

[Leinfrost]

The first interview is so perfect.

[Rubicon]

Nah if ya re-read back, they are sticking with MW but adding AH features.

I think the AH features are all people who want an AH really want anyway. I am glad they are putting sale history in.

[Dimo]

Summoner with Carbuncle... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

[Lorthethf]

Thief Ninja!!!! Huraaaaahhhh!!!!!

[Antipika]

I hope this is part of that "subject to interpretation" bit. Paid transfers I have no problem with. Free once per week? Terrible, terrible idea.

Free once per week was most likely said in reference to Rift, which started to use this model recently. It doesn't mean SE have in plan to use something like that. Especially when XI still have a 90 days limit.

I certainly hope you're right, sir. I'm not opposed to free transfers, just the time length they mentioned.

[Airget]

I have to say Yoshida's Legendary Equipment concept is quite intriguing. Instead of making it a concept where said gear could be outdated he instead makes it where the equipment you obtain and the materia on your gear will help you in obtaining it. Though I can't imagine it will be easy but that's the point of it.

Imagine during these seasonal times the price of materia will rise as well as the price of mending those materias to the weapon/armor lol.
