Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

[TheVedis]

I think you didn't read it right.

1.xx and launch!2.0 won't be up at the same time. However, they'll be running the beta tests in between those (we aren't using our 1.xx characters for the beta test so we don't need to wait for the transfer).

he did read it right actualy


what it says is they are taking down 1.xx to transfer data while we beta test
during said beta test our character info will not be available

the reasoning is if we are able to keep upodating our characters during this time, it makes the transfer pointless

you sir, read it wrong, not him

Ok. 4am. Off to bed since have 3.5 hours to sleep before waking up and heading back to day 3. Hope you all enjoy. I think we got some nice nuggets here. I think we captured most of what was said in the write-up, but feel free to ask follow-up questions and we'll expand if at all possible.

Thanks for your great interview..... finally an interview from someone who knows what's he talkin' about =P

And especially thank you for reminding Yoshi we want a list of missable content... speaking of which.... did he mention anything about primal weapons in 2.0? Do our chances of obtain them end with 1.0?

and while on this matter.... anything on drop rates? xD

Yeah the downtime makes me a bit sad, guess I just got to play twice as much before that!
The summon system sounds awesome though!

The summon system sounds interesting, my only worry is that hardcore LSs will try to bot them and no one else will ever see them, but we will see.

For the longest time the only mmos I played was XI which was about 6 years and this game on and off but recently I picked up a new mmo that has jumping in it and I was just down right amazed that I could jump in an online game and dont think I could ever go back to a game that doesnt have jumping so thank god 2.0 has jumping. This was posted once somewhere on the forum but here is a song I think of every time I jump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txWUM-3q-0s and I never played WoW or have any interest in it.

Nice interview.... But.....

I don't think I can handle not playing for up to a month when they shut down the 1.0 servers.

Honestly, looking back at it now I would have much rather waited a bit longer to have the game launch like this instead of 1.0, even if it means the whole legacy thing is gone. Compared to everything the game has been through so far, and everything the community put up with, one month of downtime isn't that big of a deal to me if the new version is right around the corner.

Perfect time to catch up on some console gaming.

I'm a bit saddened by the fact that personal housing is for later. Although I kinda expected it so it's not a major let down for me. I am however very excited about chocobo raising and breeding. I hope it will be like ffxi where you see your chocobo grow from an egg into a small chick and so on. And not just egg -> full grown chocobo. I just loved staring and going out on walks with my small baby chocobo. They better make it look as cute if not cuter than the ffxi one *shakes fist*
