Thread: 4.2 Updates from Q&A with Yoshida

Since I haven't seen it posted here, I thought I'd relay the link to those who do not frequent reddit. Some highlights perhaps worth discussing, at least in my opinion, are:

Yoshi'p Sampo: マウントのBGMは、サウンドチームに伝えておきますー。
(I will pass about Mount's BGM suggestion to Sound team.)

Yoshi'p Sampo: ４.2の零式はすぐ開放されます
(Sigma Savage will release immediately on 4.2 launch.)

Yoshi'p Sampo: アチーブメントは、あまりに今地味なので、強化を考えています
(Achievements currently too simple, we plan to make something different.)

Player : PvPスキルって追加する予定ありますか？
(Will you add new PvP skills?)
Yoshi'p Sampo: PvPスキルは常に検討していますが、まだ具体的なことは言えないです。ごめんなさいー。
(We're considering but can't say anything yet, I'm sorry.)

Player : 美神のトーテム像とのわんちゃんの交換はいつ頃になりますか('ω')？
(When you plan to allow us to exchange Lak/Susano Totems for mount?)
Yoshi'p Sampo: 4.2で緩和になるかどうか、協議中ですね。
(We deciding if we will allow it on 4.2 or not.)

新パッチでの黒魔道士の方向性について一言
(About BLM in new patch)
- 黒魔道士は単純に強化になりますし、小技も効くと思いますが、メインジョブじゃない人にはどう伝わるかちょっと悩みどころです。
(BLMs will simply get buffed and players will also be able to work around certain situations with small tweaks, but it's difficult to explain how the buff will be to people who don't main BLM.)

次の次元の狭間オメガ零式シグマ編の難易度は？
(How hard the Omega : Sigma Savage will be?)
- 次元の狭間オメガ零式デルタ編と同程度のつもりです。
(It will be about the same level as Omega : Delta Savage.)

Woohoo more command missions.

(No I'm not being coy, I actually am looking forward to them. More tanking practice!)

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

ファットキャットは何か企画があったような…？
(Seem to have some plan about Fat Cat?)

C'mon Fat Cat mount!

Also regarding:
Achievements currently too simple, we plan to make something different.

I think by simple, he doesn't mean easy, but rather that the concept for the achievements are too simple and need more interesting variety. (or maybe I'm just projecting what I'm hoping for. Other MMOs have had better achievements to use specific gear against a boss, or to go a run without being hit by X skill ever, etc.. than to just complete something X amount of times)

Player : キャラメイクの段階にメガネやサングラスを実装する事はできませんか？帽子とメガネ同時装備したいです
(I want to wear hats, glasses at the same time.)
Yoshi'p Sampo: よくご要望いただくのですが、今の設計ではかなり難しいです。PS5とかになれば、やれるかもしれませんが・・・
(It currently very difficult to do it, may be able to do when we go PS5...)

(Any plan for long ponytail?)
- 長いがどの程度を指すかによります。ポニーテールが揺れまくったり、装備に刺さるのは難しいですね。
(Depend on how long that you consider "long", it's hard to adjust its physic and clipping.)

Those two things made me laugh so hard. I think the hair clipping made me laugh just a tad harder though.

And so we enter #PS4Limitations era.

Please look forward to it

No mention of making WAR more "useable" or whatever?

Those already existed since the previous Fan Fest, where Yoshi-P joked/mentioned needing the PS5 to allow players to use multiple different coloured dyes to change the colour of various parts of a single armor piece.
