Thread: 4.2 Updates from Q&A with Yoshida

Hard is a concept that is viewed differently among communities learning a fight where the boss literally does the same thing 90% of the time I will never consider hard which is why I stopped raiding since coils. I honestly haven't been interested in raiding till they released ultimate which by the way was a smart move got twitch views and more. Wish they went to that alot sooner. All of these fights are hey mechs are happening I need to do this to avoid dying or im being a hindrance to the team. Rag on ffxi all you want the fact is you couldn't netflix on the side during "important" fights.

Another few questions when he was on other servers:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/7nmkij/questions_to_yoship_when_he_visited_masamune/


Some things from that:

-Please dont put it in there to show the names of those that kicked a person..that will just create lots of anger...I am not even sure why they are considering that..
- Diadem seems to be such a failure that they are even discussing if they dont just shut it down completely and put the minions and mounts somewhere else..well I truly hope that they learned from that disaster.
- Also they plan to add more retainers...if those are still just paid retainers I will be truly disappointed and it would just show that they arguments about server stability would be bad..since it would be fine if people buy them but not if they gave one to us for free.
- Someone asked if they can raise the HP of the older S hunts and he said that it would make it difficult for newer players to join in...this just shows to me that he has no idea how hunting is going right now..I mean they die so fast that new players already dont stand a chance at all..
- They also said that we wont be able to store all mog station glamour items in the chest..wasnt there an interview in the past that said that we will be able to do that with 4.2? I find it still a bit hard that they cant at least flag those outfits, since they cost real money. Instead he just says that we should store them in our retainers or chocobo saddle..thats just sad..(hey we take your money but we wont give you the chance to store them all safely away..)
- They dont want to tell us some informations about Eureka because people would misunderstand it...really that does not sound promising to me..
- They dont want to make healers weaker in the new PVP mode because people would not go into this as a healer anymore...

The most funny thing with these questions was the fact that we dont get quite some emotes because the Japanese player base likes to do something sexual with it..even going so far and putting SEs trademark on such screenshots to make it look like its possible ingame..and that we would get some options to hide informations about us if we change servers because again the Japanese player base likes to chase players they dislike..some comments mentioned that they track their data even if they change server and post it on the internet so that people can follow and stalk the person and even stalk them on discord and stuff like that...I mean its funny because people often like to paint the NA and EU player bases as bad and the Japanese players as saints and yet they seems to be quite worse in a lot of parts..so thanks to them we wont get emotes like sleep. x)

Well consider this, how many people would get that 3rd free retainer? i would bet its all of the players making for like 100k extra retainers. how many paid retainers are there? considering the sentiment i see a lot i would say less then that, way less. This is just pure speculation though, you can also say that paid retainers help to pay for more/better servers. Shure i would like a free one extra i just dont say its pure greed without knowing the precise situation.

I think it's hilarious that they gave Lalafells a play-dead emote with their butt struck into the air (really didn't they see what's gonna happen with that), but we don't get a sleep emote cause people could abuse it.

That bit about healers is so false it's insulting.

It should especially be insulting to any career healers in PvP, or anyone who was willing and able to switch from before 4.0. As a truth I saw with my own eyes, [I]many times[/I,] we didn't have any issues at all with lack of healers then, nor was there nearly as many issues with people refusing to heal or entire alliances without healers.

This is literally why PvPers say SE doesn't listen to us. That statement is such an insult.

Third overrates how many people switched. A lot of people healed seal rock or shatter because no one else would, and we'd lose otherwise. But most of them would easily change back to dps given the chance. Even now in RW they aren't playing healer to heal people, they play it as a overly potent tank. Nerfs to them have to come, but I don't think anyone should expect healers to just suck it up and keep playing; I expect pvp to full on embrace DPS/Tanking as a binary meta instead of the old trinity one.
