Live letter fail

[Quisi]

Yea more talk about patches like 1.20 and 1.21 would be great. Most of the answers were about 2.0 and right now it's nothing more than a very distant dream. Basically for me most of the interview was: are you going to add xxx? yes in 2.0. I wish there were more specifics about 1.20 etc.

I heard there was flying ahriman mount, what is that ? stupidity... ? ahriman is mob in every ff to kill. >-< nevermind I just heard that. but if ahriman is fyling mount = meh.

Magitech-fyling stuff or something like that would fir more, than flying Ahriman (imo)-.

I do somewhat agree, the live letter was a let down, I thought the first one was also.

I was expecting a lot more info about skill changes and jobs this time, maybe some in game videos of job classes in action, in game models of AF gear etc.

Information and specifics on party search and marketward search.

Instead we got some silly stuff like ridding frikkin goobbues /sigh

As I said last time it would be better for Yoshi to go through the questions asked and answer them in a written letter, there is nothing stopping him/them adding pictures and videos to illustrate the up comming changes.

Hopefully we get a letter in a few days about the skill changes.

As someone else above pointed out, most of the questions being asked are probably from Japanese fans due to the ease of not having to translate them first.

By the way, for all the complaining I see, this live show was specifically identified as focusing on 2.0 weeks ago. Why are you so surprised that they did exactly what they said they would?

Wrong!!!!

It says on the lodestone.

You know the problem with this right? Even if it had been a written letter people would still complain there was not enough information or anything that THEY wanted to hear about. It's the same thing every single time and the same complaints happen every single time. Sorry but they'll only give us the information they are ready to give at a certain time and it doesn't have to fit with our schedules or desires.

This whole live letter deal is unnecessary. I honestly loved the PDF presentation of 2.0 when they announced it. I absolutely despise watching something in another language when there is no subtitles. Also when it gets translated on twitter, at that point the information may as well have been released via a nice and tidy pdf package, or on the lodestone. By the JP, for the JP (not that that is a bad thing, i just have western games to focus on now until things like this won't bother me as much when all I have to worry about is riding gobbues and polishing my oversized crown).

Kind of a waste of time to do it live then really.

I have no idea why they are doing this live for that matter, perhaps they thought it would make the experience more personal or something, but its probably not worth the time, hassle or money to do it.

Agree with Jackdaniels regarding the PDF stuff, that should be how future letters should be laid out.

True story. So glad I didn't stay up for this none sense. Once bitten, twice shy.

Where's all the "1.20 and beyond" info? 2013 is definitely beyond, but there's three patches till then.

List of topics that should have been covered:

1) Class change info. (It's more than a month late)
2) State of leveling crafts and any plans to address associated issues.
3) A reason why we should pay for months vs paying for one month prior to 2.0 release and doing all content in one fell swoop.
4) How we're expected to achieve anything till 2.0 when our biggest opponent is server lag.
5) Job info outside Cnj/Whm, Thm/Blm. How will brd work when it originates from a dd? Will PLd be the only tank? What is being done to ensure Drg/War/Mnk stand on equal ground?
6) What is the combo system?
7) How soon are our 1.19 extra inventory slots being taken away?
8) When will recipe changes be finalized?
9) Target date for 1.20.
10) Lastly, a list of what is expected to actually make it into 1.20 since its likely on its way to quality assurance any day now.

What you are asking of the Letter from the Producer, Live or otherwise, is something that is in contrast with Yoshi's policy. He will not show or discuss anything that he can't promise will come to pass. The topics were 1.19 and 1.20 and beyond/the future of FFXIV. He has expressed several time the Future of FFXIV is 2.0, so the questions and answers were correct in all sense, no one needs to be blamed, they were valid questions and answers all around. 1.19 is a dead topic already as we know that fixes to some things are coming in 1.20.

In regards to 1.20, we have next to no details on it besides that we will be given a preview on how skills will be moved around to provide feedback, the dye process will be fixed, ALC, GSM and CUL will be overhauled (Correct me if I'm wrong on CUL), achievements will be introduced and the HQ will be introduced in full along with the final touches on recipes for all classes throughout. What else do you need to know about 1.20 that will not be revealed as we approach the date of patch release?.

Before you post anything, please, think about what and why is it that you are posting. You simply wanted information that could not be given (Which we already have a clear overview with the PDF's files released) as it goes opposite to Yoshi's stance on promises that can't be kept.

I have to agree here, what's the big hurry with people? Yeah, I'd like to see a couple of things change, but looking at what they've risen this game to compared to what it was at release, I see no reason to doubt their abilities to deliver.

In other words, PATIENCE people! No sense in getting all excited until you're looking at the actual 1.20 patch notes anyway, so just stay calm for crying out loud lol.
