FFXIV Live Letter VI General Discussion

[Mjollnir]

Q35: Could you provide more details on how we will be able to move items between characters on the same account?

A35: While you will be able to move items between different characters on the same account, the feature will be unavailable at the launch of ARR. We will monitor the situation and release the feature once we feel that it’s okay to release.

Rein's translation mentioned that it was also partly to do with RMT countermeasures.

This I don't like. I had intended to continue levelling my DoL/DoH all together five levels at a time; crafting my own equipment and food whilst levelling up. I've run out of space in 1.0 due to materials already lol

My concern for inventory space was relieved when the announcement came that we would be receiving eight character slots per server (mules!). It was relieved further when I heard news on gear sets and housing.

Now I'm fearing the weight of my backpack again, what with the news of the armoury board (which doesn't seem to store gear, just link to it - a good system, storage issues notwithstanding), the fact that housing may not influence inventory at all (it remaining the domain of the retainer), and the above quote today.

I do wonder how it will be prevented. Banning mail to characters on the same account? Wasn't there an idea for FC storage? Won't that facilitate it? Do I have to instead ask a friend's mule to stand there and hold my items while I log on and off, trading back and forth? I hope instead that we get access to a shared storage in our housing, perhaps by having a retainer take the role as a choice instead of whatever else they have planned for them (gathering/bazaar/etc.).

While I like most of the stuff mentioned in the letter, I rly don't aprove this one:
"Q30: Will it be possible to watch PvP as a spectator without actually participating?
A30: We are planning to have it so you can view the camera of the players PvPing"

I don't want ppl to watch me playing! It's like having a spy program on u. The worst kind of stalking. Creepy as hell.

2nd thing, while I do love PVP, I'm not the very best player in the world and I realise it. I don't want ppl to come and watch the show just for a laugh or to put me thru some kind of a trial :S

Some ppl might like teh idea I guess but it should require ur permission

i think one of the reasons they aren't going to show the airship flight is because that airship is tiny. imagine 50 people on that tiny airship. that things gonna fly like a lead zepplin

I took a lot of screenshots from the letter for my website, 69 in all. Seems someone already posted loads though.
