FINAL FANTASY XIV Special Talk Session (translated)!!!

[Soukyuu]

Hope were not separated (shouldn't be) freaking SEGA made that mistake with PSO2.

what Sega said was "gtfo foreigners" because of script kiddies hacking the servers instead of playing the damn game. They gave us a chance, but some people just have to ruin it for others.
here, it's a different situation. Most likely, the community will separate itself to a certain degree when people will be torn between going with their friends from different regions.

Soken does indeed love kneesocks!

Oh you beautiful manthra, you.

Good evening!

Some of you may have noticed that in the recent videos and screen shots we released, weapons that have different graphics depending on if you're in active/passive mode were only shown in their active mode state. Not to fear! These weapons are still in-development and will convert back to their passive mode graphic when put away, just like in the current version.

Sorry, I couldn't sleep well tonight if I didn't let you know. Now, back to more important conversations!

Well that's lame. Stardust and Artemis bow looked better being always active.

No way! Please keep the active effects! D:

[Estellios]

It seems like we might pull our weapon out for casting now and put it away after, so if the active effect happened during casting as well that would be awesome. Glowing all the time/never glowing cause you're never in active mode would ruin the impact of the former and be lame in the latter.

I personally love the way Artemis bow folds from bow/harp too.

Yeah, but in SEGA's case they're pretty much forced to separate the servers because the Japanese servers are basically at full capacity since launch. It's almost as if they did not expect PSO2 to be so popular. They made a fine game this time 'round and I hope they'll add to their budget to make it the best it can possibly be.

Don't want it to steal FFXIV players, but SE could take some cues from PSO2

Considering how long every online entry has lasted ever since the original PSO, I'd much rather they didn't. Not to mention the rampant botting, hacking, and overall neglect their western servers always have. Soukyuu summed up the current situation with PSO2 quite nicely. Just wish they'd put more effort into actually preventing these things from happening instead of just going "lol gaijins" and throwing out mass bans. Doesn't fill me with much hope for our own servers, which is a shame since the game is so fun.

Sega is the absolute last company they need to take notes on for this game. I'd like for FFXIV to last longer than 2-4 years after ARR launches.

Can we get a toggle? Blm relic looks so much more boss when it's lit up!
