RPG SITE REALM REBORN INTERVIEW

[Viritess]

Just because they add vanity slots does not mean they have to allow anyone to wear anything. They could still keep level/class restrictions if that was to be an issue, not that it really is an issue in the first place.

Pretty much. I think maybe something was lost in translation. Or if Yoshi-P was thinking Vanity slots as in a slot for a Yukata to cover our armor. And thus be confusing. I don't really want the ability for people running CC in Yukata and Geta. But i wouldn't mind using Item X that is already a LNC/DRG piece instead of item Y for the looks.

With all my <3 for the Reps. I sometimes wonder if they are actually communicating some of the requests clearly. The current Vanity slot thread thats been going for a while has been at a fair consensus about these issues already and is fairly in agreement that its more about picking the class/job appropriate armor skin we desire then anything else. Has anyone even mentioned the differences to them? Is there much discussion about points we bring up or is it more or less "NA wants Vanity slots. End. NA says RNG bad!. End."

Perhaps it has something to do with the prevelence of mage style :All classes gear they keep putting out. But a guy wearing robes holding a spear is still holding a spear, BAH.

Speed runs achivement only, a big Hurrah there. That is great news. Especially if we're looking at some new dungeons. It would be really disappointing to have fresh new dungeons that you have zero time to enjoy cause your running past it all.

posted a new SS in the front of the thread.

Yoshida: Speed runs will remain in the game (for achievement purposes), however, they will no longer be necessary to obtain equipment upgrades. Expect the reward system for these runs to change greatly.

Success...

[Vydos]

I'm still not fully satisfied with the speed run thing to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing. No doubt about it but there's no mention on removing the 15 or 30 minutes instanced timers. Which means they'll still be there and will always put some kind of time pressure on people.

Unless they're going with a timer that counts upwards for the end result. Will have to wait and see for the final verdict.

Edit:

Yay for new ingame screenshot! Only wish they'd show more of the missing genders.

[bobbygunz]

Why even use the word "roaming" primals lol? Everything they do is so GENERIC!

[Gentaro]

That leveling change might kill the game D;

Well on the other hand 1.0 had basically no leveling at all cause you could get PLd to 50 in 1 day. . .


Still, I'd prefer grinding instead of mindless solo-questing - i would play singleplayer games if i wanted to run around by myself

Who says this isn't a female?

[Chardrizard]

He didn't say solo-questing, he said quest-driven. Quest can be party based.

[bobbygunz]

"oh and by the way way... when we said Roaming, what we actually meant was completely stationary. I don't know why you guys got so confused, lol"

[Munba]

We will be moving away from a grind-oriented leveling system to a quest/content-driven leveling system

It says 'content', so i think there'll be also other kind of leveling content and not only quests.

[Duelle]

I'm thinking they might do some quested leveling and also through events like Behest. I just hope personal progression is not entirely tied to party play. Otherwise I'm going to be missing more than just Spirits Within, Hallowed Ground and my PLD AF chestpiece. =/
