FFXIV Media Tour- Gamer Escape Coverage

[Shougun]

Fusionx, can you confirm that we will getting "targeting lines" from FF XII? because in one of video the lines are there when yoshi-p get aggro from mob. But there is no line when he attack his targeted monster. So my conclusion is, the target lines will appear when non-targeted mob has hate on you, CMIIW

吉田氏：
はい，お願いします（笑）。少し話が戻りますが，ほかにもグラフィックスで分かりやすくしたものに，フィールドを歩いているとモンスターの間に黄色の線 が現れるというものがあります。これは対象のモンスターを攻撃すると，この線で結ばれたモンスターがリンクしますよというサインです。

Y - Yes, please do (laugh). Going back on topic, for the parts we made it easier to understand through graphics, there is one where yellow lines will appear between monsters. This is a sign shows the monster links. If you attack this one mob, the other mob attached to that yellow line would link as well.

吉田氏：
そもそもプレイヤーの戦力はパーティを組んでいる人数によって変わるので，モンスターもそれに合わせて戦力調整されます。でも，攻撃してみるまでモンス ターの戦力が分からないというのは，なしにしたいんです。戦略が立てられないですから。これはオプションでオフにできるので，煩わしければオフにしてくだ さい。ですが，敵視のラインが次に誰にいくかも，頭上で見えるようになったので，ダンジョンなどで結構便利です。「FFXII」のターゲットラインの進化 形みたいな感じですね。

Y - Players strength will change depending on number of people in your party, so we have made adjustments to the monster to match that power. however I didn’t want to make it where you won’t know how strong the monsters are until you attack them. By doing that you can’t come up with a strategy. Can this option be turned off? If possible turn it off. But, now you can also see which player has hate by a hate line so it’s useful in dungeons. It’s like an evolved version of FFXII’s target line.

The only ones I saw in the hands on were yellow- and I was told they indicated linking.

Even if I saw red ones in a video I couldn't tell you what they were for. Your guess is as good as mine.

I saw two lines come from the birds (Guacha?) as he ran into them and aggro'd them (I was yelling "noo!!!!" as he ran towards them), then another come almost straight down from the morbol (Stroper?) when he stopped and waved at it. The first line from each seemed yellow, then the second from the birds seemed red.

Bumping with more info!

Cait Sith, seems to have an important role in the game, considering he doesn't want to reveal/spoil anything right now.

Considering her role in the last FF MMO it's to be expected now.

Cait Sith is a he, right? (I was surprised when I found out, too, having only seen him in FFXI.)

Also, Fusion's description of the art sounds like Cait Sith will be more like his FF7 version as described in various places online.

Thanks for the updates.
