Live Letter XXX Discussion Thread

What other ways could they do this? They are already part of most things ingame and are fairly easy to get.

FATEs mostly. The poetic items (bones/shells) might also be available for wolf marks, since you get esos via PvP anyway (Technically also poetics, buuut...dead content and all). That aside, I think every DoW/DoM content type is included somehow.

As for the poster above me: Allied Seals do give unidentified items :3
But yeah, Centurio Seals not. That's another.

I'm still peeved they didn't let us get them from Diadem... Randomly getting them in chests, being able to exchange Spoils for them... I mean, Diadem sucks as it is, but if it was the way to farm Unidentified items? At least it wouldn't be dead...

Yes yes, the crafted items are made from Diadem, but that's exactly why they are retaining their value... Diadem is dead, if you want to go in there to farm the crafting materials you need a Free Company Airship at this point... Having Diadem as a solid means to farm Unidentified items might at least revive queues and reduce the price of those materials somewhat... They still need to seriously adjust Diadem to actually make it a proper event instead of some lame Hunts zone, but given they didn't seem to mention it in the Live Letter, I'm guessing Diadem has gone the way of Secure and Slaughter... A shame, it had a lot of potential...

Question about the upgraded PS4 graphics, will it be just the shiny floors or will there be other things enhanced?

[NaesakiAshwell]

Wolf Marks would be fun.
Allied Marks/Centurio Marks also come to mind.

You can already get the seeds and bones with Allied Seals...

Though the centurio's do need more usage.

Even if they're available for both genders the fact of the matter is that a lot of gear is designed for female characters outright and even if it isn't there's a lot of glamour that is specifically designed to be androgynous or feminine in its design. The 'masculine' sets that we do see are nice but they're very rarely gender locked and so they're made with female characters in mind as well. Then there's weird decisions such as the Minfilia outfit coming with an additional hairstyle for female characters only for the Cid outfit to come without a hair and beard option.

As for hairstyles? Many are designed to be 'androgynous' or 'feminine' as well. Especially recently.

It's a bit frustrating, really. I wish male characters got as many 'masculine' customisation options in this game as there are 'feminine' and 'androgynous' options. >_>

PVP shouldn't be used for anything but PVP its not content that needs to be part of anything. It has its uses for what it is. I do find it odd that they aren't added to the Centurio Seals that should be something they should look into.

I totally forgot about Diadem! Yes Diadem should be used for the items in some way and not just the crafting items. Would have been cool if bones and shells were from mobs and seeds and ore could have been gathered.

30 Steel Sky Pirate Spoils for bones and 30 Brass Sky Pirate Spoils for shells, so the players don't have finished it within some grind days. And people would go longer to the Diadem.

So... who decided it would be a good idea to put randomness in progression for Aquapolis? I imagine it's gonna feel really bad to hit that 20% on a dragonskin map only to pick the wrong door early on. I didn't like that random door nonsense way back in Renegade, I don't understand why it's here now other than an homage to how difficult it was to progress in Deep Dungeon?

Too late. PVP provides Lore and Esoterics as well. Providing another alternative avenue with wolf marks? God forbid!
