Letter From the Producer IX.

This isn't with regards to FFXIV but that's the most wrong saying ever...ignorance is gonna get us all killed one day.

I disagree. Ignorance is bliss because it's entirely blissful to find something that you don't know, so you can fill the gap in your knowledge

Willful ignorance on the other hand is, as you say, going to get us all killed one day.

Yes! thank you fixing that :P

Im just really REALLY hoping the dungeons have specific BGM, or at least a general dungeon BGM.

After reading this last letter, there was one thought that immediately crossed my mind:


Why are they adding camps that serve as quests hubs instead of using the absolutely useless hamlets that are scattered all over? Do they have other plans for these? It makes no sense to throw all this content into new locations when the current ones are already starved for content.

.....Hamlet Defense was already planned. Hamlets also serve a purpose currently, just nothing absolutely integral to the game yet.

Because they want people to travel further than all the places they huddle around in. By adding more camps, there are more locations for higher level leves, behests, and possibly the occaisional vendor.

maybe they plan to use both

[Teknoman]

maybe they plan to use both

Exactly. The quest hubs look like small campsites or outposts for the most part.

EDIT: What if hamlet defense coincides with all this ominous weather/prophecies? I mean if I was on the XIV team, and wanted to make some game changing world event, I wouldnt let the cat out of the bag before the event occurred. That and the entire landscape isnt going to be charred from this, thats for sure.

[Mack]

Sooooooooo, quest hubs yea?

Not really that lively looking, but best I could find for an example.
