Letter from the Producer, XXVI (03/26/2012)

I read 'class exclusive recipe' as being recipes that could be made only if you belong to that class? I.e., a level 50 Harp if you are a woodcrafter and bard.

Fortuneately what they meant are recipes that produce class specific equipment. Ultra hard recipes that result in AF like gear, from what I undertsand.

Maybe a dev would like to sporadically drop in and clarify this?

Pretty sure the Imperial weaponry applies to enemies, not us players. They are giving the imperials we battle in dungeons and umbral era events a facelift rather than them being clones of player classes.

I have to say I'm not really excited for too much in 1.22. But I am happy about Garuda weapons. I still haven't got any Ifrit (ugly) or Moogle (pretty) weapons, but I plan on farming the hell out of Garuda!

[Andrien]

Well I hope sometime down the line we get guns and gun-bladed weaponry.

Where is the garuda wep pdf artwork? I'd like to see this!!

So maybe Garuda themed weapons will be different than Job Specific Weapons?

Im excited... (As always)
I feel you Starlord
E3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm giving Yoshi the benefit of the doubt about the release date for 2 reasons

1. He has to have learned his lesson from promising dates that he can't possibly meet

2. End of April is about a month away... The closer you get to a deadline, the more accurate your release estimates become. At 1 month away... Yoshi should have a pretty good idea of all bugs, glitches, and hangups. Most stuff should be in testing right now anyway


So yea... End of April... WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO

(71 days to E3)

The next patch looks like its going to be even more epic than this last one was. I am shocked and very pleased. Good stuff.

Let me just say though, I will be shocked and amazed if they get that bad boy out by the end of april.
