Any info on compability between the PS3 and PC clients with voice chat?

Yoshida has posted a response on this;

==================================================================

Is the $3 per character fee still going to exist in the billing process or just the subscription fee?

This one, can't say I can give the right answer but here, this may give you some answer.

p/s : Found by Yolteotl her self : source

Under the new fee structure, the basic service fee and the character fee will be consolidated. In the case of a 30-day billing cycle, players will be able to choose from the two payment options below,

Entry Plan – $12.99 USD/£7.69/10.99 €: One character per World
Standard Plan – $14.99 USD/£8.99/12.99 €: Eight characters per World

==================================================================

Is Arcanist slated to be available during Phase 3 of the Beta or are we waiting til release?

Q: You mentioned previously that you're working to include summoner in time for launch. Is it going to make it?
A: Yes, it will make it in time for launch.

p/s : I know u ask specificly for Phase 3 and such. So it may be in Phase 3 or maybe will only be available during Launch.

==================================================================

For those who have started but not completed the path to the relic;
the items collected in the quest of the relic will still be valid?

I remember there is a post of this, Quest Relic Weapons progress is saved. (will need to find the source...)

==================================================================

Are there plans to add any victory poses at the end of dungeons? Similar to what happened when you defeated a boss in FFXII. Maybe not a separate cutscene, but a simple pose all the players do after the last boss is defeated. Short and sweet.

Possibly an emote /victory with an animation based on what class/job is currently active?

Well.. in 1.0 we did have a victory scene after defeating dungeon... :P hope this stay true and expanded more to even primal fights!

==================================================================

What aspects of FFXI do you plan on transitioning over to ARR? More specifically, implementation of various lvl NM's. Also I think it would be really cool if one city had a casino, with various mini-games one could opt for when tired of lvlng/crafting.

Yoshi has mention his interest to implement something like Goldern Saucer.

==================================================================

How will the servers for 2.0 work, in regards to accommodating the new players? Will there be at least one server where the only choice for all players is to create a new character? Will every server be open to new and old players? Is that really in everyone's best interest? I guess what I'm really asking is... is this a "new game" or not?

There will be new servers for "new characters" only.
Meaning that both 1.0 players and new players can create new characters on the new server.
What Old Players or 1.0 Players can't do is that they cannot transfer to a new servers.

So technically both old and new are open to make "new characters" in any servers.


Keyword : New Character, Old Characters, Transfer Limitation for Old Characters.

==================================================================

Playing a healer was a bit of a task with a controller in 1.0 How would this change in 2.0 with a controller?

This might give you a rough idea, overall, experiencing it first can only tell you how.

==================================================================

Will players from 1.0 get another storyline then new players that start in ARR?

Players of 1.0 will get a different starting storyline, but eventually it will combine with the new player one on a certain point and then follow that storyline.

==================================================================

Can you tell us more on summoner, I have been told many ways that it is going to work, for example linkshells will summon them, etc. I am very confused about this.

Linkshell will be unable to summon them, Free Company will be able to summon/claim them. Summoner Job will only be able to "borrow" an essense of the Primals, thus embending their strength with Summoner's body. Summons on the other hand, Yoshi mention or talk it that a way that it'll be a one time summon, weather will change accordingly to reflect the summons so that people in that zone where the summon happens know that a summon is happening and goes "Oh Ifrit has been summon" (When the fiery sky appears) and so on.

==================================================================

Could you go into more detail about user created add-ons such as the API/language used and when it'll be available to us?

It'll be in flash format, when? It may be after 6 months after launch.

==================================================================

I dropped the Voice Client one, didnt see that before. Just seems like its gonna get messy with ps3 and pc trying to communicate together.

But the others are completely relevant and unknown lol

[Seirra_Lanzce]

where'd you read/hear that user created add-ons were possibly coming 6 months after launch? i remember them mentioning flash but it would be nice if they went into more detail about it than just "oh it uses flash".
