Changes to Existing Items and the Monetary System in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Rebor

[Delsus]

I seen a lot use bazaars for selling, it's just the way they work makes it annoying to use lol. If they fixed that I know people will use it a lot more, especially since people seemingly complain all day about "MW suuuuuuuucks!"

At least 90% of items I see in bazaars are up for 999,999,999 if I see something for a reasonable price I am shocked, I used to check bazaars all the time, but after all the 999,999,999 I have stopped because I will not find anything.

there's only a few issues i have with the list actually.

1. them removing the color from the item. like i use multiple felt bracers for different classes. i have a blue and regular just because it makes changing to the correct item when using a macro work more smoothly. this does allow me to dictate exactly which set of gloves i want to use. if i'm on my mnk i use my blue set because it's multi melded str and on my drg i use my multi melded attack power. this allows me to be sure my macro equips the correct item when changing gear.

2. the only items that doesn't take inventory are the items equipped. i carry over 150 pieces of gear on me most times. granted that's every class and its full set of gear, but with a total of 100 inventory i thought they were giving ways to help gear reduce your inventory space.

other than those 2 issues the list seems to be pretty good. those 2 issues could make a severe negative impact on me.

2.0 has equipment sets

It is appropriate, just like it's appropriate to state that there's actually zero reason to remove player bazaars (when even the most generic of MMORPG lets players set their own bazaar/shops) and the fact the changes to underwear and waist display is purely on a cosmetic level.

Or did you not actually read the announcement?

How do you know SE has not one good reason for removing player bazaars? Did you personally interview yoshida?

How can you claim that changes to underwear and waist display is purely on a cosmetic level when the op explicitly explains :

Waist Gear
Waist gear will no longer be visible in FFXIV: ARR.

We have concluded that displaying waist gear separately not only limits the ability of our artists to create new designs, but also complicates the methods used to display equipped gear. Therefore, in order to more efficiently create new gear for players to enjoy, we have decided to merge waist gear graphics with matching gear graphics.


Example:
Cobalt plate belt graphics will be added to cobalt cuirass graphics.

Existing waist gear graphics will not be removed from game. However, equipping and removing waist gear will no longer change your character’s appearance.

Maybe YOU are the one who did not read the announcement.

what will happen to the relic key item obtained with GC seals?

I'm most curious about this as well, I'd have to rush to get my other six seals before Nov. 1st if the key item is changing in some way.

2.0 has equipment sets

that are acquired after completing a quest. also take into account for most classes to be the most efficient inside an encounter you will have mulitple pieces of gear you will use. i don't think the gearsets will be with you to start with.

just use av/cc parts i use my lightning brand/ aubreist's allegory with mage's ring, zircon ring, and spinel choker and other parts i'll be using garuda's van, black pearl ring, black pearl ring, flame choker. add that up with several classes and having 4-5 pieces you have extra for each class and you have alot of extra inventory you will be taking up.

Leave some of it at home.

If we were meant to carry everything with us at all times for every situation, we wouldn't have an inventory cap.

[Rizon]

So they aren't lowering the gil cap but they are still reducing everything to 1/10th? Wasnt the entire justification for decreasing all of our gil because they were lowering the money cap? It seems less and less likely to me atleast that the economy will stabilize at 1/10th because of this.

They are using the justification that because NPC prices will be reduced to 1/10 we only need 1/10 of our current bank to survive as before. SE is using this to justify a partial Gil wipe. This justification would be valid if the game was based upon an NPC economy that SE can control. It is not! The game will still be a free market economy controlled mostly by the players. Supply and Demand will still rule and exorbitant pricing will still exist. Only problem is rewards will be reduced to 1/10 forcing many players to spend a vast majority of their time farming or crafting to survive instead of enjoying all the new content. Sorry but to me this was just window dressing to justify a partial Gil Wipe.

That's a cosmetic change.

That's a cosmetic change.

That's not the reason for which...
