Crafting: Dragon Quest X style

[Zantetsuken]

Aside from crafting, in that video what's interesting in DQX is for solo casual players you can hire other players to join your party as AI, and say before you logout for the night instead of rest bonus you can register at the guild counter to rent out your character, when you come back in game if you were rented out by someone else you get the rental fee + get some exp from it.

Not only that, but the housing system looks pretty awesome as well..

I do get a nagging feeling that there could be some issues with putting the afk/rental party system in this game (gear damage, loot, monopolizing, etc..), but on the surface, it seems like a great way to make earn gil and as well as give casual players access to more content...

Just wondering, with all the thread locks going around, are we free to discuss aspects of other SE games that we would like to see in FFXIV?

I've been keeping an eye on this one >_>'

As long as the thread talks mainly focused on how to have those system/features of those games into FFXIV should be cool imo, once the thread gets out of hand with ppl complaining to talk about those games elsewhere to just play that game then it gets flagged by the mods I think.

As for this crafting one YoshiP did say that they are changing gatherer/crafter so hoping mini game system that has more real mini game type of feel like this DQX (with FF quality graphics, although I love Toriyama art) it should be good. In fact when they first showed DQX crafting I posted on JP side about XIV with similar system would be interesting lol.

Who knows, the tera threads attracted flamers like flies to shit so it got hostile pretty fast. I think the thread about XI's newest expansion pack hindering XIV's growth was closed because the community pretty much answered it. This is the first thread I've seen in awhile where it compares elements from one game with this game and not get instant flame status.

If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at the crafting system for Dragon Quest X

Sadly, our current system looks terribly outdated and dull in comparison.

The 2.0 crafting overall is well underway and may be near completion, so it is useless to clamor for changes at this point... but still, wouldn't it be great to craft like this in FFXIV?

Hello!

Thank you for sharing ideas but as they are from another game, and that game is mentioned, we must close this thread.

We understand that you only wish to make FINAL FANTASY XIV the best game possible, but open discussions about other games is looked at as off topic.

One suggestions I would post for you would be to take advantage of our Feedback Email Support found at our Support Center. This would allow you to directly suggest ideas to our game without fearing going off topic on the forums. You would be allowed to use the names of the games and give examples to better improve our game.

Thank you for your understanding. We may need to remove a few posts as some of the comments due to rule violations.

So much for the thread staying civil

[Zantetsuken]

lol, true.

But I do think that a crafting system like DQX has merits. There may even be a way to reuse current assets so the designers don't have to build crafting WIP models for every item in the game.

There is something to be said for the crafter having visual feedback experience with the item they are creating...

At first I thought I'd be watching some motion-control crap (I refuse to play games that give any sort of advantage to motion control users over any regular controller user), but watching the crafting was interesting. It's exactly what I'd like to see that implemented into FFXIV.

For the most part goldsmith is the only craft I can think of that seems to look okay with the glowing orb effect. When making things like rings and earrings I could picture one being made with the chaserhammer in that blinding glow lol and of course polishing raw gemstones on the grinder looks neat, but trying to saw an orb is half sounds as dangerous as trying to split atoms O.o

Having fun going around forum copy/pasting that mods message?
They do their own job so just let them do it, you don't need to be the judge on these forums.

+ DQX is made by Square-Enix and is their next MMO talking about implementing some of the ideas from there is no different than people talking about bringing features from Final Fantasy XI.
