What's with the drought?

Yeah, a comparison of sorts would be fantastic. That would serve well as an appetiser.

I hate that I have to be this guy but isn't it almost too quiet? Understandably the development team are up to their necks with work but I honestly think we should be seeing tidbits for the upcoming beta.

As much as I like seeing the internal workings of the team in the blog, it leaves one wanting.

What ever happened to the Benchmark program? And those region previews?

They're expertly waiting on releasing more info to keep anticipation high for the beta.

There's not much to discuss, dude. It'd be one thing if we knew how they're going to approach class design for the existing classes/jobs. We have an idea thanks to the battle system, but I can't praise or critique the devs if there's no concrete info to go on.

Sorry but they wont be any information on storyline or much about at least for that they wont release. There really noting much left to say what else you want to know? beta starting next month there noting much we do not know about ffxiv that we want to know anything storyline wise we have to wait and play it.

They could release specifics on what they are currently doing. Where there at in the progress towards beta, what type of problems they are having if any at all.

Guess it’s like running a marathon you just need to stay hydrated. and se providing the water ^_^.

More frequent blog updates would be nice!

I'm just going to leave this here.

Hello all, and (an embarrassingly belated) Happy New Year!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that we're all still alive here (barely), and apologize about the relative drought of lore/localization bombs and bomblets (lorelocalization...lorlocalize...Lorloc! New monster confirmed for release! ). After a well-deserved summer vacation (yeah, I said summer), we returned to find our data stockings stuffed with a veritable cornucopia of new quests, Lodestone and benchmark goodness, and naming requests...in addition to all that spiffy stuff we aren't allowed to talk about yet (oh, and Pinurabi had some coal in his, as he's been quite naughty). We're currently in the process of pounding everything out, and so far we're right on schedule to meet our Beta Test deadline. Unfortunately, until Beta is released, we might not have as much time as we'd like to devote to fielding questions on the forums. That isn't to say we aren't following your threads and jotting down things that need to be addressed in the future! Just that we ask you bear with us a bit longer while we hit the final stretch!

Oh, and about that Lore page in the new Lodestone forums... We're in the process of escalating the issue right on up to Yoshi-P, so he knows how important this is for you guys. And we won't stop until we get that page up and running.

Until then, keep the speculation mill in good working order, and I'll see you all in Beta (but hopefully before then)!

[AkiRouscelia]

Good to know. All the best to our Dev. team in the final crunch period.

That said, we'll always be here on the forum to gather your specific questions and comments and work with the development team to get new info passed along to you all.

Specific questions......



Oh! I got it!

ahem

What is Yoshida's favorite type of ramen? I'm a tonkotsu man myself. Hakata style. No menma, please.


(looks around)

No?
Not a... not a good question?


Okay, yeah, um... sorry...


I'll just... I'll just be over here, then.
