#PLL about to start 18:57 pdt
f; Foxclon // y; Yoship // m; Minagawa //
#intro
y; thanks for having us
f; hello
y; was looking for the glasses and was told you had it
y; noticed one problem with this hair
y; since the ears are on the top, they told me my ears are in the way
y; because of that I can’t wear the headset so it’s not like I’m trying to look cool or anything like that
y; we got one more spot here for someone
y; Mr.... someone is going to be here
f; we have Minagawa-san
y; thanks for coming
m; hello, thank you
m; Minagawa here, thank you for having me
f; we asked lots of questions for you today, so we’ll start the first half with that
y; does that mean I can rest for this part?
y; I’m currently logged in Tonberry server
f; lets check out the game
f; Yoshida-san is here
y; oops sorry it showed the name (char)
f; not sure how many people are going to be there
f; lets go over what titles you have made in the past
f; magical chase, how many knows it?
m; it’s about 20yrs ago
f; Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, FFT, Vagrant Story, FF12, FFT-a, FFXIV ARR
m; many might not understand what I do
m; I’m basically the guy who does the menu’s
f; first question
f; How will you present your intro this time?
m; since others did something big (like the 16bit titan video)
m; I got an idea from the PR team, so in the next event we have a 45min section just for me
f; We have that event after this, so please look forward to that
f; since launch, we had 3 times changing the UI, was there anything that was favored/disliked by the players
m; some of the UI that was released right before the patch needed to be fixed with a hotfix, and I truly apologize for those. As for the ones that was favored, we receive a lot of voice on the forums or twitter.
m; lots of things are already expected by the players so that part is hard.
f;
m; being able to combine both the console gaming UI and PC gaming UI together was a challenge
m; also we get a lot of needs from Yoshida-san which is hard
f; can you switch the screen, Yoshida-san is playing full on right now
(playing Levi)
m; we also have to address many local languages, so when doing that it takes up a lot of space depending on the language so we had to really be careful on those.
f; the current FF14 UI, how much would you say is complete?
m; Right now I have a task list, and list from the players demands, we have been continuing to progress with 80% of the UI at all times.
f; what game inspired you
m; this time FF14 I’m in charge of the UI but there is an old game called Marble Madness, the control, game screen, everything works in sync, it’s a basic game where you watch a ball on screen move, but that really affected me.
f; is there any reason to the UI
m; when we made FFT on the PS1, we wanted to go with that old style, afterwards they wanted to use that again. In XIV we had different font at font, but he asked to use that FFT’s font.
f; next question is simple, what’s your favorite BGM
y; oh crap I took damage
m; lets watch him get hit
y; I was listening to you guys and forgot Levi’s position
m; that’s an excuse
m; the BGM running in Ultima Weapon battle
m; the BGM and scene really matches
f; any BGM you’re not liking too much
m; I like the BGM, but the BC music, due to personal reason
m; my wife also plays XIV, when I get home around 1AM and open the door, I listen to that BGM
m; that BGM is running at work, and home, it’s going on forever.
y; listening to that BGM all day would get you tired
f; what’s your favorite ramen
m; shoyu ramen
m; At the old building I used to commute to work with bicycle but used to go to ramen store in the ally
f; next question, if you can’t answer please let me know
f; do you have plans to release FF12 HD
m; If I’m not making it, I would want to see it
m; as a player I would like to play it
f; next question, Ogre Battle Saga, Do you have plans to release the new one?
y; that one isn’t safe to answer
m; if there is such project, I’ll definitely join
y; I would want to be in there
y; for anyone aiming for game programming i want them to play ogre battle and vagrant story
y; to see how the data is being worked in the game.
f; you got time to be looking this side?
f; next question, who’s better boss, Yoshida-san or Matsuno san
m; he’s sitting next to me
y; you can say it honestly
m; Matsuno san is watching this too
m; Matsuno san is like a mother, Yoshida san is more like a father, or a brother
m; I can’t say who’s better
m; but I got scolded more from the mother
f; lots of questions are asking about this one, in Super Famicom Tactics Ogre it was with a small team, now in XIV you have a big team which is harder
m; during Tactics Ogre we were doing lots of hard work but I was in the 20’s so I could handle it, but if I was to do that now, it’s going to be hard.
m; they’re both hard, but I won’t be able to work the way I did back then.
f; next, for UI design what kind of detailed demands/requests do you get from Yoshida-san,
m; first he asked me to make it close to PC’s standard
y; I asked to make sure the experience doesn’t change when playing with gamepad or keyboard/mouse, but that’s about it
m; We had FF12’s gambit system, we took some of the system and tested it with macro
m; but it came to a point where people may ask to use macro or don’t come so we had to stop those
f; Do you have any back stories you can’t normally talk about
m; we talked about buddies and magitech armors but we want to get some of those stuff in later (some ui stuff? sorry missed)
y; damn was listening to you guys and forgot to use LB
m; as a same game programmer, he has a clear vision of what the goal is going to be
m; he also have clear task, and lastly he plays with everyone like this and that’s really good for gaming
y; it’s really hard to change the schedule once said
f; will it be able to save local data on the server so you can load the UI on all platforms?
m; I’m playing on PS3/PS4/PC but it’s hard to share so I would like to do this
y; yay we got it, there was someone new so that’s good
y; wonder if the mirror dropped
y; this one is account made for this event
m; I have checked on the cost to make this possible, but it was very high so we’re still looking into other methods to get this done.
f; can you please make it so we can view all the inventory in one window
m; we did it, we should be able to get it out for the next patch
m; it’ll be for the PC/PS4 since it takes up some processing
f; please look forward to it
f; lets go one more, when playing on the game pad, can you please make it so you can auto sync for FATEs when entering
m; all the buffs gets removed when synced and we’re talking with battle team how to get this part worked. But we’re thinking of this additional option.
f; so we can expect another option for this
m; we’re working on it.
f; please go through the comments and answer
y; animus delayed
y; We had to delay the animus upgrade to 2.28, and I mentioned this in the P.Letter but people have been calling me a liar
y; The actual upgrade was done but it was pretty hard to do, even right now it requires a lot and people are having trouble, this is same for our own staff in office.
y; So we talked about those, and also we looked at how many people have completed the animus, and there are many still on 2nd/3rd book and if we were to release the next upgrade now it’ll make them look further into the upgrade which can make them quit since it’s hard
y; so we’re talking about how to resolve that, it’ll require a new item called Sphere Scroll and we mentioned that it needs to come out from other contents
y; for that reason we had to delay one patch
y; so please give us just a bit more time.
y; I’m wondering what’s going on at the next booth
f; people are asking for phantasia
y; I’m being told not to say something we can’t do, but as a producer I have to say what we’re going to do.
y; I would like to say what I can get it in, but I also looked back at my own PLL and I should say it will be coming in future instead of soon, which may sound like next patch.
y; but as for phantasia we’re looking into next patch, but before that we want to try and give to every player
y; you can’t trade it.
y; post 2.3 we’re working on individual service but before that we’re working so we can release by May.
f; People are asking for Gold Saucer
y; Gold Saucer is pretty big, there is Chocobo something,
y; it’s boring just having your buddy for fighting, also we want other events so we’re working on this
f; send in your questions
y; we haven’t talked much about 2.3 yet, but there is Front Line
y; this one has more players so you shouldn’t feel so hard like Wolves’ Den
y; we also have salv...something it’s a new system for crafters, we haven’t talked about this one yet
y; I would like to go over these in Fate in Nagoya
y; we have other contents, we’re trying to make it where patches are released every 3 month
y; I haven’t said Salvage, salv...something
f; what questions should we pick up
y; when will Ex Levi going to be addressed, I’ll talk to Gondai, we already have the system so I’ll check on that
y; weather forecast, i think we can get it in 2.3
y; we also have other things that uses weather, there was a talk about FF12 earlier but something related to that
f; thank you
y; personal rooms are coming first, i’ve mentioned we’re working on both personal housing/room
y; one where you can purchase your own land/house, the dev team is first working on the personal rooms first.
y; they are both working on at same time but personal room will be released first then house after
y; in 2.3 we’re going to see how much land is going to be available
y; we’re also making it so the night sky is really beautiful, and also got comments saying the water looks dirty
y; so in dev environment those parts are fixed
y; we’re making detailed fixes
y; first we said lets go with the looks and getting the details fixed
f; what’s going on with the add-ons
m; I’m sorry about this one, I’ve said it was going to be released for 6-8 month since launch
m; in reality, that timing is almost up and we’ve been addressing the PS4 and there is some delay
m; at first version we’re starting from where you can change the UI and icons
y; I talked with Minagawa the other day on how much we can change
y; like changing to classic FF blue window
y; or like showing information that’s not being displayed normally, such as TP
y; so we’re discussing how much of that will be released, please wait just a bit more
m; we’re working on a roadmap where you can see what’s going to happen.
(talking about amount of comments they have received up till now)
f; lastly, minagawa-san can you please give a comment, how is this event?
m; I’m really nervous, but it’s fun
y; you got used to it while doing this
m; you can’t run away from it, so yes
f; you got the event after this as well
m; yes
f; yoshida-san can you please comment
y; we have lots of events going on that will go on today, thank you to everyone in Tonberry
y; don’t use weird emotes on my character
y; thanks for the warm tells you have sent to me
y; I may login again at another time
y; the next Minagawa-san’s event is really fun so if you’re FFXIV players should check it out
m; thanks
f; please look forward to next XIV booth event
f; thank you
y; thank you
---------------------------------------------------
m; (talking about retainer and what they bring back)
m; This NPC here gives a lore related information in a report
m; The lore team is writing the information so I’m guessing he wanted people to know about it
mo; regarding lost city, gremlin
m; this guy here, when you take his damage you get a debuff
m; this debuff can be removed with /cheer and /comfort
m; people on twitter may know this but there might be lots that didn’t know this one
mo; I knew this one but I have another question
mo; why does that guy say lots of bad comments?
m; the move it uses is from FF7, on top of the target you see chat bubble where you can see comments you may see from players
mo; moving on, minion alliance, what is this?
m; this is hard topic to talk about, in the dev team, there is a section that brings together the team through this minion alliance
m; for example, wolf minion and coerl, if you have two of them together they start fighting
m; or opo-opo or blue bird sitting on the shoulder, they added these without telling anyone
m; they are studying how this they can make this cute/fun
m; you would expect woman talking about this but it’s actually pretty old guys discussing in the smoke room
m; we don’t even know what’s going to come later on till it’s released
mo; manderville dance
m; everyone’s dancing with this
m; originally this wasn’t manderville’s dance, first the motion team was working on dance for each individual races
m; when they took that to the other team, the manderville dance was originally for lalafells but when we did that with Roe it was huge impact so we made it where everyone can use
m; when you see lalafell’s using it, I think it’s pretty disturbing but when Roe with one pants uses it it’s nice
mo; people saying stop saying you hate lalafell
m; I don’t hate them
mo; regarding housing
m; devs have lots of things they want to talk about housing, but we’ve brought 3
mo; the stiches on moogle is scary
m; went too far, the left one is the current moogle
m; it’s pretty scary
m; people even made a thread on the forums saying it’s scary
m; the team really made it so it follows the actual moogle design
m; but in patch 2.3 we’re going to release the fixed version
m; but... personally I like the left one better, isn’t this one good?
mo; I like the right one better
m; alright, depending on players voice we’re going to see if we’re going to take one side or have both. I can’t say it since I don’t want to be responsible but depending on players voice we may see further changes or have both.
mo; regarding interior furniture
m; there are many furnitures, there is one where it makes sound
m; within this, you don’t play just by itself, but if you play all the instruments together it makes a music
m; i brought a video showing this
m; you can guess where you can obtain them.
mo; It’s haukke
m; yes
mo; Didn’t know that
mo; It’s not easy to get all that
m; you also have to get all of it to get it working
mo; that’s pretty cool
m; yeah, I wanted to collect this too, but first I don’t have a house yet
mo; please purchase a house
mo; in limsa lominsa housing area there is ....
m; people without house can also enjoy this, pleasel look at this next vid and check it out next time.
mo; many might know this
m; when you go near it
mo; looks like many knew this, I didn’t know this one
mo; next story about Gerolt
m; right now it’s still lunch time
m; regading this Gerolt, lots of players might know him from relic and pissed off at him for making you do lots of work, but there is a reason why he’s like this
m; the story behind from 1.0 he was pretty bad, he’s done many thing
m; his name Gerolt (in jp Gero means barf, he’s so bad you want to barf)
m; sorry didn’t think it was near lunch time to talk about this
mo; future of Edda
m; when going through the main story, she’s one of the character that has some background story.
m; we were planning to have her come to the (minfilia’s place)
m; but we said the story is going to be too boring with how it was set up originally, so in the next patch she’s going to come back with bigger story
m; I haven’t seen it yet
y; See you said next patch, people may thing 2.28. It’s 2.3 like Tamtara
m; I thought I was going to get in trouble but he said it so I won’t get in trouble
mo; I was watching when it was announced first but it wasn’t fake (about Edda coming out)
m; Hildibrand - brought 2, originally Hildi was set as Lalafell character
m; This was new to me as well, in previous xiv, when you unlock the inn it came out for the first time.
m; He was supposed to take over the lalafells characters position but the way he talked didn’t match
m; so we changed him to Highlander
mo; so he used the phial of phantasia
m; yes
mo; there is someone following the assistant Nashu
m; lets check out where that person is
m; it’s hard to see
m; lets change the angle
m; it’s in here
m; it’s on the right side
m; lets move closer
mo; this guy?
m; yes this guy
m; he’s not only in this screen
mo; oh wow, he’s here too
m; he’s more like a stalker
m; if you look at his cheeks it’s red
mo; please check it out later in-game
m; this lalafell is pretty dangerous
m; since not much people noticed this, the person in charge got angry and he brought it back
m; and if I talk about this now he may come back once again.
mo; please look forward to him
m; duty finder the sound when the DF is up/ready
m; why that sound was used, in Japan people call it shakeen, or say shakiru (it became ready)
m; during the beta test, it was hard to notice when it was up so we used the sound that was already available right away
m; and we used this one, afterwards we tried other sounds but we just kept this for duty finder
m; If we asked Soken-san we may of gotten a different sound, but this one was used
mo; I think this one is good
mo; regarding treasure hunter maps
m; i think not much know this
m; there is lots of cracks in the maps, in tactics ogre from super famicom we had the same cracks
m; it’s the exact same cracks from back then used on these maps.
m; at first we had a crushed paper we scanned but the team picked up the old material and used it
m; and came to me asking if I remember this.
mo; I didn’t know this one
mo; lets move onto the live demo
m; for UI section there isn’t much to talk about since everyone knows it already
m; there are some things that might be helpful for those that don’t know it so I want to go over those
m; this is for PC, I believe lots player the game whiel having the browser up
m; with default settings you can’t move but in system config there are several settings but there is one
m; there is option where you can turn on the sound even if the game is inactive
m; say while you’re browsing you can hear the shakeen (DF up) sound so that’s helpful
mo; I didn’t know this, this is good
mo; last time I was looking up T4 strategy and missed the DF
m; if you set the settings here you won’t be able to resize the window
m; and with this other settings you can move the character with the controller while browsing, you can do basic stuff.
m; for PC players you should be able to play a bit more with this.
m; there is another one lots on forums didn’t know about
m; there is a window where you can select the class/job, right now I’m clicking each one, one by one, but if you right click you can turn all on/off at once.
mo; I didn’t know this
m; it wasn’t even on the manual so people thought it was a hidden command
m; the gil display, by clicking this you can change the currency to company seals
m; however, this was put in at the beginning and no one even checks company seals, so I told the person in charge to make it where we can see the tomestones
m; I was told he’s swamped with tasks, but I asked to put it in there, so we’ll probably see the mythology tomestone in there soon
mo; lets move onto the powerpoint
m; there is one more for resolution
m; can you go one back
m; for the PC version you can change the resolution but the left one if you make the display portrait display you can set up this way. However it’s hard to use this for regular game-play, but it’s really good when using for character make.
mo; didn’t even think about that one
m; if you make it landscape and long, there is one good thing about this
m; this is screenshot from my home 2540px it’s going over
m; when you use wider display you can see more
m; this is good for ex. Leviathan to see where the water pole is at. (might be wrong name for en)
mo; please try it out
mo; lets move on, please show your HUD
m; from here on, I’m going to show the dev teams HUD layouts
mo; did you bring yours?
m; yes, mines last
m; do you know who’s this one is?
mo; this is Yoshida-san right?
m; it’s his gamepad layout
m; he wrote a small comment on the layout, this is for work, it’s to check the basic UI for gamepad, while making it same as every standard players layout. Also he doesn’t use any macro’s at work.
m; I’m probably checking this at most
m; my house HUD layout is really messy so I didn’t show this one
mo; OK lets show his messy one
y; no don’t
m; Since Yoshida-san was here I received few presents from him
m; do you know who’s HUD layout this is?
m; I mentioned earlier this is my mother like person, Matsuno-san’s layout
m; you can tell his personality with this.
m; it’s all laid out to the left side
m; you probably can tell with the mask on the chat, this is Level 5’s Hino-sans layout
m; he even sent in a detailed info
m; it’s really detailed
m; Yoshida-san and Hino-san is really detailed
m; He had one more, it’s this
m; For crafter he changes the pad layout, he has one more, I wasn’t able ask this one
m; I don’t know what the 1,2,3 means but he has tons of macro’s
m; I think it’s for crafting, or gatherer
m; he’s really into it
m; Thank you Hino-san,
m; next
m; it’s really simple, Takai Hiro-san’s layout
m; not sure if we’re both designers so we come up with similar layout or because we have the same name but the layout shows the exp in the middle. Not sure if he just left it there, or what.
mo; please check next time with him.
m; This is Gondai sans layout
m; he’s main for battle, so he’s using using both gaming mouse and G13
m; he laid it out so it’s just like that devices layout
m; here’s his other layout for his other jobs
m; it’s for all his main classes
mo; looks like tetris, but it’s set up for each jobs
m; it’s really detailed.
m; want to go into more details but we don’t have time so moving onto mine
m; in the middle I have a action for looking at the recast time
mo; are you just doing this to make it something unique unlike others?
m; no I made it like ring command in the middle
m; for my UI, the actual layout is messier
m; I don’t have it organized like this normally but after looking at others I cleaned up a bit.
mo; can you give your final comment
m; doing an event on my own, got me bit nervous, but it was really fun
m; if I have another chance at event like this I would like to bring in other information that’s probably not known to the players.
mo; thank you, that was Minagawa Hiroshi talk event.
-------------------------
In the voice actor event
Nakamura-san doing Urianger’s voice shows a clip where Urianger says “He found a way to completely eliminate Ascien” also mentioned he saw Yugiri’s face but can’t talk about it.
YoshiP explaining why Urianger stayed in Walking Sands - saying the twins are fighting so they need a way to keep them apart and if Urianger moved to Rev toll Alize going to be lonely
Nakamura-san asks if he can dump the Ifrit weapon, and YoshiP answers you should hold onto it. (hint?)
Kenn-san asks he wants to carry someone like how you would carry princess (ohimesama dakko)
YoshiP - let me ask you this, can you carry a naked Roegadyn?
Kenn: I’ll drag him back to town
YoshiP - motion team is working on motions that works for role playing
YoshiP - if we have that kind of motion to carry, you’re going to have to really carry Roegadyn
They’re talking about what if you can carry anyone and just pick up someone who’s checking out the market and getting reported to GM for carrying someone without permission lol
Nakamura-san saying Odin is too weak now, by the time they get there it’s dead. Asking if they can put Odin in lower level dungeon so he has reason to go Sastasha.
YoshiP responds, I’ll think about it.
Nakamura-san then going to saying want the retainers bring back Odin’s cloth and him going WTH you for real!?
Nakamura-san asks when’s new jobs coming.
YoshiP saying you said earlier you mentioned you saw Yugiri’s face, it’s related to that,
Nakamura-san then says Thancred suddenly uses two daggers too, or how about the previous XIV where you use a gun and gets taken away.
YoshiP saying we’re going to do gun, but it’s not something what everyone is thinking it’s in the plans, it might be earlier than what everyone is expecting. It’s not 2.3 but it’s not too far out. We still got E3 and other events we need to keep good infos.
--------------------------
Talk Battle event with YoshiP - Give comment to YoshiP
y; yoship m; foxclon
y; I’m being made to do this (wear the Miqo’te wig)
f; let me go over the rules
f; 1 - give the theme
f; 2 - you have 2minute time limit with YoshiP
f; if you stop in middle, I can stop the battle, you can use the whole 2min or just end when you’re done
y; It’s 2min with my answer, so don’t talk the full 2min
f; 3 - who wins is decided by the viewers
y; OK also no punching or stabbing me
f; yes, thanks
f; one more request, don’t ask the same stuff as previous
y; the viewers are the judge so be careful on that part
f; if you are able to take down YoshiP, you’ll get this shirt
f; I beat Yoshida shirt
f; ok lets start
p = player
f; Sona san from Masamune
y; first warrior of light
p; blm is weak
f; ok lets sit down
f; once the chime starts
p; for BC blm isn’t getting enough dps, we don’t have space
p; when will we get buff
y; im looking forward to it too but because many have said blm is producers main job it’s hard to make adjustments
p; but for us BLM we think the reason why we don’t get adjustments is just because of that
y; since you’re here on behalf of the black mages, do you want a buff?
p; yes, please do
y; alright, let me work on it from today
f; looks like it was fixed
y; well if we can make adjustments I want it too
f; who won?
f; sounds like the players voice was heard
y; are you nervous
p; very
f; challenger wins,
f; congratulations
y; I lost the battle, but feel like I won
f; so we can look forward to BLM buff
y; wanted someone to ask that one
f; From Aegis Koma-chan
y; second warrior of light
f; what’s todays theme
p; I’m here for the tanks, wanted to talk about the war bear/tiger
f; ok lets start
p; in 2.2 war bear/lion was added but it was added as achievements, but it requires 200 end game dungeons
p; I’ve been going to end game dungeon all this time and it being counted as 0 hurts
p; I understand the true tanks will get it now, but since it’s out since 2.2 anyone can really get it even if it’s on their alt.
y; let me answer the amount being 0, we haven’t been counting before so that’s the truth, so we expected people are going to say this but that is the reason why we couldn’t put in the amount tanked before.
f; sorry times up
y; I don’t have enough time to answer
y; everyone is saying they want to answer
f; ok shake hands, lets move onto the voting
f; YoshiP won
f; thank yo
y; I want to answer till the end, the end game content will change with patch, so as dungeons get eased those won’t count for the achievement so you don’t have to worry about people getting it easy.
f; moving on
f; from Ridill Iori-san
f; welcome
f; what’s todays theme
p; got question regarding the dungeons
f; lets start
p; you added 3 dungeon this time and 3 dungeon previously
p; it seems really dark (dungeon being dark)
p; want the dungeons to be more light, light happy, outside being more during daylight.
y; the new dungeon is outside, so you’ll be fighting outside
y; it’s at xxxxxx island, the boss battle will be in some weather
p; I also like La Noscea a lot
p; I want to swing the weapon in the water
y; the new dungeon is coming out like that
f; didn’t feel like a battle
y; well he was able to get new info out of me
f; we can look forward to new dungeon
y; thank you
f; lets see the vote
f; challenger wins
f; congratulations
f; I see, so if they’re able to get new info out then it’s good
f; moving on, from Ifrit server, Kandon san
f; please come up to stage
p; wanted to ask about the difference between Paladin’s and Warriors
f; lets start
p; personally I’m using palading and I feel that it’s stronger but warrior can use OP and can take aoe hate, on other hand Paladin is harder but we can’t do too much on single target or aoe.
y; this goes same for the other job too, they both would talk about each other when talking about this
y; we have to leave something that’s better for each other, we can’t make it completely same
p; I asked this question 3 month ago, but what has then changed till now?
y; right now we have been watching the balance and overall usage of the job, and right now we are at a point we don’t need to make change, but we’re checking closely.
f; times up
f; lets see who won, please vote
y; for example, to run SR in Bray you need BLM, but if you talk about this with jobs, it’s going to be like this for any job.
y; We’ll make close adjustments, but we have to look at overall balance.
f; I was thinking viewers was going to choose the players the whole time but they are really voting carefully
f; from Unicorn Numaou san
y; welcome
f; what’s your theme
p; wanted to ask about how the devs come up with strategies
p; heard from the rumors, in the guidebook there is a strategy for turn 5 where it tells people to run to point A when they see something, but there is no explanation so how are the new players going to figure that?
y; we’re not in charge of the guidebooks, so you’ll have to comment that to the publishers for that one
y; for the dive bomb, it targets one so by everyone running you can dodge
y; what was unexpected, there is that one position where it’s the easiest to dodge, but if we make adjustments to now just because we wanted to, it’s going to go against the players existing strategy so we don’t want to do that
f; used up most of the time
y; that was good talk
f; lets go to the vote
f; where you able to ask your questions?
y; if you want to win and just get T-shirt might be better just to shout Yoshidaa and just leave it at that
y; but since they are hardcore players they have good questions to ask
f; Next from Durandal server Lalacon san
f; please come up
f; what’s your theme
p; want to ask about summoners pets
p; I’m playing summoners pet, i mean summoner, there isn’t much time to use titan or ifrit
p; i want a cute pet, also have a situation where we can use ifrit and titan more
y; I talked about BLM also, but I’m also working on summoner, we wanted players to use the pet to match that parties need, but since garuda can get the most DPS, if we change the other pets it’s just going to be another problem where ppl asking garuda got nerf next.
y; for the cute one, it’s hard
y; would be fun to be able to copy mammets
p; for the next pet, is it going to be leviathan?
y; there is leviathan, and maybe some old thunder guy... I can’t say too much
y; what do you want
f; was waiting, but you don’t say it
f; ok lets move onto the voting
y; I think this was good one
f; were you able to say what you wanted to say?
p; yes
p; please get moogle or something cute
f; challenger wins
f; congratulations
y; you’re too nice to female, 90% ?
f; Gungnir Reset san
p; regarding class/jobs
f; lets start
p; been loving theif since XI but will we have thief release?
y; it was mentioned in the previous event, but we have to spread out the information to other events
p; so that means it will?
f; no times up, I’m the rule here
f; lets see who won
y; hold on, people are saying Thief confirmed in the comments, but where is that?
y; later you guys are going to call me liar and I don’t want that
y; we don’t even know if the name is going to be Thief
f; you tried
f; challenger wins
f; thank you
y; I’m going to get in trouble later on
f; next is last
y; we got this again tomorrow
f; from Mandoragora server Lion-san
p; regarding character creation
(he loses...)
p; do you know sylphie chan?
p; I always need stoneskin on paladin, when going through class quest she’s in there but
p; I wanted to create her character on character create but we can’t do it... why?
y; there is one story from alpha test
y; we had it in beta but was told by the players to return the character creation back to what it was and you can’t make that character no more.
p; oh...
y; we been kept on calling sylfie chan over and over
y; what was the viewers waiting for?
f; challenger wins
y; this was one of my ideas for this nicochou event
y; we want players to get their questions out
y; was thinking I was going to get kicked and stuff but it turned out good
y; doing this every time is going to be hard though
f; if anyone has stuff they want to say tomorrow, we’ll be taking in questions tomorrow so please do so
y; was waiting for someone to say Yoshidaaa but we didn’t get that so maybe tomorrow
f; thank you
------------------------------------------------
Soken not sure what he needs to do lol
Sound team and dev team helped and came up with the plan for Soken to see
Soken brought all the hardware, instruments for this event since he don’t know what’s really going on
1) What is BGM
s; it’s back ground music, everyone knows this
s; for game there is sound effects, voice, environment sounds, ambient sounds, and bgm. For sound BGM is only a small part.
mo; steps till BGM is made
mo; asked around to get this
mo; you’re interested in that?
(soken pointing at knee socks)
mo; is this correct?
s; yes pretty much
s; the adjustment part is already out of the BGM part but yes.
mo; if we need to do the whole thing we won’t have time
s; yes, it’ll take whole development time
s; how about if I do one, like this check
s; if I do this, does that mean Yoshida-san is going to come down and say something
mo; use Levi theme and do this
mo; you have the data right?
s; yes
s; oh this is my desktop
s; sorry had something else up
mo; making sound parts
s; this is the one that’s troubling right now, the low angle
mo; the plan is working, he’s into it
mo; ok can you go through the sound, like the parts for the drums or guitar
mo; I want to know how it’s made, is it from rhythm or main
s; for levi it was from taiko drums
s; started from melody but after a month, i was about to give up and went to talk to annie-senpai and he hit my shoulder and that hit me with all the instruments and I got the idea for the bgm
s; alright it’s ready
mo; ok can you start from the asian drums
s; there isn’t much tracks in this one
mo; did you the drums yourself?
s; no it’s change in times
mo; so you made the taiko drum sound?
s; there are lots of recorded sounds so I use that to make it
s; I lay it down just think of each line as sound
s; this part is the rim of the taiko drums
mo; you also received order to make it rock style
s; yes how did you know
mo; i brought the outline details for this
mo; this is the order paperwork showing
mo; order is in here, on how the music image should be
s; has request to make it kind of like Metallica like
s; it was more rock but it didn’t match
mo; ok next want to listen to the drums
s; want to show the extreme amount of plugins
s; it’s still loading
mo; you normally get this much?
s; yep
mo; ok can we hear the drums
mo; when you just see the hands you look cool
mo; i like base sound too
s; it’s something like this
mo; that’s amazing, but basically you hit and you can do this right? Can I even do this?
s; yeah, you just do it
s; well you have to know which sound
s; this is called piano roll screen
mo; it doesn’t look easy at all
s; oh yeah? it’s pretty easy
s; for drums there is a picture of drums
s; to make it like real drum, if you just hit it won't sound like real drum
s; so you have to make it
s; there is a guy who comes in and hits the drum full on, and there are mics all around the room taking the sound
s; it’s called ambient mic
mo; there is a thin line from the drums
s; from here to here is all the drum sound, we have this much and i mix them together to get the sound
s; say before the snare drums, if i turn on the mic in front of the snare drums it sounds like this
s; if you turn on the mic below the snare it sounds like this
s; now you adjust all those sounds
mo; you lied about how you just hit the keys and it’s done
s; oh yeah? oh yeah... i did some work then
s; I already had an idea of the sound so I just mixed them to get that sound
mo; it’s too much for me, I can’t do this detailed sound
s; this is easy, sound effect is much harder than this
mo; I want to listen to the guitar
mo; you brought the guitar
s; i just brought it because i was told to bring everything
s; alright lets try this, leviathan right?
s; this feels good
mo; soken live
s; so I just now sing right?
s; I suck at singing
mo; didn’t think you were really going to do that
s titan?
s; how did titan go
mo; it’s good that you’re performing
s; just come to the booth and you can listen
mo; if this much people came to the booth you’ll get nervous right?
s; yeah I won’t be able to compose.
mo; vocal
s; thought you’re going to ask that, this is dvelopment machine so I have everything
s; even have stuff we’re not supposed to broadcast
mo; please don’t do that, we’re going to get in trouble
s; for Titan and Leviathan, I was singing so I had to press the record then run to the other room, shout Titan! and run back to stop
mo; that’s pretty sad
s; it is.
s; everyone was busy so I had to do it myself
s; left side is the hall, middle room I have no idea, right room is waiting room, it’s sleeping area
mo; so you’re there a lot
s; I’m going to get in trouble
mo; ok can we hear the leviathan’s voice part
s; I can finally talk about this
s; originally it was female vocal, 3 days before the finalization date, i was ready
s; went to YoshiP and Maehiro-san’s room and they said it’s cool but something is lacking
s; so I was asking and they said Leviathan is male, so female vocal isn’t right
s; the guitar was set for that female vocalists key, same for base
s; everything was set for the vocalist, to hire someone 3 days by final date it’s impossible
s; so I sang it myself, that was the only option
mo; so instead of someone doing it, you did it on your own
mo; lets listen to your voice
s; then lets listen to the cool part
s; leviathan
mo; so you changed it right?
s; of course, i suck at singing
mo; you have the original right?
s; yes
s; take away everything?
s; i put in a lot of changes
s; i put in this much eq too
mo; it’s like taking away every clothes off
mo; wow, so that becomes
mo; it’s better without your voice
mo; wow, you can change with just adjustments
s; that’s change with technology
mo; lets listen to the female voice
mo; you have it right?
s; no one heard it, yeah I have it
s; this is the completed one which everyone knows
s; the female one I think is this one
mo; it sounds good
mo; it’s good, give me the data later
mo; this is really good
s; right?
mo; everyone is saying it’s good
s; if we have future sound track lets put that version in
s; the price don’t change no matter how much tracks i put in anyways
mo; do you have different version
s; sure
s; where did it go
s; it’s probably in this session
s; let me see
s; what’s this part 1 part 2
s; this was how it was first
mo; leviathan?
s; yeah
mo; it’s good, but the after listening to faster tempo
s; I just followed the idea for Metallica like
s; there’s one like this but it’s nothing like now
s; what else am I supposed to do today? I don’t have script or anything so I don’t know
mo; was going to get vote from viewers
mo; not sure if everyone who’s viewing is happy
mo; do you want to listen soken play live
mo; want to really listen, don’t care but I guess i’ll listen, I’ll listen while farming atma, I’ll listen
s; so I’m going to do all of this anyways right?
mo; well it’s different
s; is this ok?
mo; no not guitar, we had enough guitar
s; don’t tell me
mo; last time you played the piano
mo; piano, piano
s; see you have to play piano now
mo; dont’ need gridania since you did that last time,
s; how about Ul’dah
mo; I’m going away so take over
s; do it just like this?
mo; do 2 tracks, one battle track
s; battle?
mo; yes please
s; ok lets start with Ul’dah
s; first let me take a quest so i don’t get nervous first
s; k lets start
s; I’m going to make lots of mistakes but just listen, it’s not that easy to play right, right away
s; that’s not it
s; let’s do the night one too
s; something like that
s; lets do battle, lets start from fate since everyone is farming atma
s; hoping atma drops
s; oops that’s wrong but lets just keep on going
mo; that was good

s; hope atma drops for everyone

PLL Pt. 2 Event - 7PM PDT / 11AM JST
y; yoship f; foxclon t; takai hiroshi (assistant director)
y; good morning
y; feel sorry for hiroshi, he’s supposed to be #1 but everyone calling him hiroshi 2
t; well he’s HQ version for sure
y; i was putting the comment myself but no one believe it was me commenting
f; lets start the PLL
y; I can’t see everyones comment, to have glasses on Miqo’te is really hard
y; the glasses really needs to be put up on the ears on top
f; we really don’t have a theme today
f; we’re going to pickup comments from nico comments and answer from that
f; it’s up to the viewers so please send in questions which could pull out new info from Yoshida-san
f; lets go to the game demo screen
y; chat is being shown
y; people were waiting for me to login
f; lots of people are coming
y; not sure where I should go today
f; mainly takai-san, and sometimes yoshida-san if you have any questions please send them in
f; takai-san if you see a good questions please pick them up
t; I finished atma but didn’t finish animus
t; got 13 atma... got one double
y; i don’t even have one yet
y; been doing about 300 fates and still didn’t get
y; was talking with other players but I think all the hatred from players are attacking me
y; ok lets pick up the questions
f; please send your questions in
y; when will new glasses be released
y; one of the core members is starting to be in charge of it, and has been asking around
t; there are many devs that wants glasses
f; people are asking if hiroshi (takai-san) brought video
t; I didn’t make one today
f; please look forward to next time
t; I don’t know dot
t; by next time huh
f; that’s pretty hard
f; ok brought some other questions earlier so lets go with those
f; might be hard to answer
f; when are you planning to increase level cap
y; i said it yesterday but first we need shin-something first
f; when will marriage coming?
y; the BG mockup is done, checkup is done, and it’s in the final process for modeling
y; we’re doing the interior of the twelve (the place in E.Shroud)
f; Maehiro-san
y; he’s the one that made the Super Ex.Titan
y; we’re really close to release
y; we’re working on the vail with transparency for the bride
y; the character teams been asking to make it wavy so they are working on it
y; it shouldn’t be far out for release
f; ok please look forward to it
f; there is one, do you want to kick Lalafell?
t; first you should say if there is a cute lalafell walking by, then I want to kick them
t; I want to kick them, they know they are cute and act like it, that’s why I want to kick them
f; some odd love towards them
y; it’s excuse for people with DV
f; will you continue adding lands for housing?
y; we have plans for this in 2.3
y; we are optimizing in 2.3 so we should be able to add more lands (zone)
y; personal room, you need a FC housing, and there is a command to make rooms for members
y; with that you can make rooms, it’s still being worked but it’s either you go through the stairs or open a door to enter your room
y; it’s little bit larger than the 3 nations Inn
y; you’ll be able to decorate, put interior furnitures
y; you can set it so you can enter on your own, or allow everyone in FC to enter your room
y; for personal housing, it’s basically buying your own land and house
y; you’ll need some rank and need to be lv50
y; as for the release, the personal room is going to be released first, then the personal housing should be out
y; we’re not sure if it will be ready by 2.3, it may be 2.35
f; people are saying it’s going to be expensive right?
y; we didn’t make that expensive
y; how much money do you have?
t; I was told by Maehiro we’re going to buy M size house and took money from me
t; so I got about 850k right now
y; you can’t buy with that
f; you’re looking at hime like, you’re too poor to even think about it
y; you should be able to earn more gil now
f; how much money do the viewers have, please comment on it
t; everyone has good amount of gil
f; some saying 2 digit
t; looks like everyone has about mil or two
y; we won’t make it as much as FC housing
y; there is some pvp comments, we are working on the system
y; right now new players starting pvp don’t have any skills
y; so we’re thinking of making it where you already have the skills
y; you can redistribute the points freely
y; also right now we’re introducing Front Line in 2.3, which isn’t small like Wolves’ Den
y; so it might be better to start from Front Line then going into Wolves’ Den
y; some are thinking 8x8x8 but it’s not like that
t; people are saying 8x8x8 as full party
t; for devs if its 8x8x8 it’s easy to do
y; yeah but there’s more
f; people are asking when’s 2.28
y; May
f; so please hang in there
t; May is right around the corner
f; we don’t have much days left for April already
t; I’m working on the trailer but didn’t bring with me
f; when can we see it?
t; we’re preparing it for 2.3
t; we might have for E3
t; we’re working couple trailers in parallel
f; we can look forward to it right?
t; we’re trying our best
t; if it was really 8x8x8 it’s really easy for us
y; when I asked lets go Ex Levi, they said lets go Ex Ifrit
y; we got 4x BLMs
y; if we have the game screen up people are going to get distracted
f; ok lets switch to live broadcast camera
y; day after this I have media tour in Australia
y; then after that I have quality check for the DX
y; it’s progressing, but I don’t have plans to release that fast
y; might be sometime this year, I have to check with the PR team as well
t; programmer is working on this, I go with him to BC but he’s saying he’s having hard time since he has to work on the programming
t; I just started turn 6, still on Rafleshia (sp?)
f; if there is any other questions please send them in
y; we’re still discussing who’s going to use the LB since we have 4 BLM’s
f; there is a questions asking the CT update
f; was there something we can talk about it?
y; well it’s coming in patch 2.3
y; map check, boss check is already done, so it’s soon
t; it’s coming in the next patch 2.3
t; I’ve been checking it out, but it’s pretty exciting for old school like me it gets me hyped up
f; there are comments saying the bgm in there is nice
t; yes the bgm is nice
y; we’re doing ex titan,
f; so far no one fell
f; someone is saying the papaya is good
t; when making the 2.2 PV, when I listened to it I asked Soken, when do we use this?
t; I didn’t even know
y; soken brought that to me, and he said he knows it’s fantasy but what about for seasonal event
y; papaya was stuck in my head
f; said this yesterday too but is there any info on Gold Saucer
y; please check yesterdays info
f; please look forward to future announcement
f; do you have plans to change the DF rules
y; first we’re going to address Ex Leviathan
y; we’re working this, went in a practice Ex Titan
y; they were all good players not mad about if they died
y; but I know it’s hard for players to win even with echo
t; everyones good at ex. titan (watching yoshiP playing)
f; wasn’t what I was expecting
y; right now i got granite jail and everyone is in panic
f; lets switch screen
f; thought it was going to be more crazy with random players
y; it’s going pretty good so far
f; for the next ex primal challenge we’re going to vote on which ex primal to do so please look forward to that event
f; I want you to die
y; don’t need to say stuff like that
f; question, can you please increase the amount of furnitures we can place in the housing
y; that one is hard,
t; for furnitures, there are ones with effects, if you put too much of those it becomes hard
y; if you put all those it eats up the CPU
f; when will Thanalan train start running?
f; it’s been asked from before
y; we still don’t have any plans for it yet.
f; Hiroshi what’s hard right now
f; well what’s hard for development
t; developing and playing XIV at same time is really hard
y; that’s really hard
y; you can only choose not to sleep
t; you go home, put on DF for 3 contents, then do dailies then try and do one G4 treasure map
f; and if you have BC in there
t; I have to find an hour in there to get there
y; If I didn’t fall, I mean die we could of went on, it’s my fault
(missed q)
f; will we get increase in inventory?
t; he’s chatting
y; you’re not going to answer?
t; you want me to answer this?
y; it’s related to save data, so it’s hard, but I’m talking to see if we can increase
y; but we can’t just simply increase, it’s easy to do it but it writes the data simultaneously to the server so we have to look into this carefully
y; this also goes with achievements when we increase
(video stopped nooooooooo)
y; so it’s not that simple to just increase, we have to look at overall
y; once we can see it possible, we’re going to try and get it
t; for an MMO XIV has lots of space
y; please don’t comment about PS3 for this one
y; some saying there is too much items, but this is MMO
f; do you have plans for red chocobo, or colored chocobo’s
y; to have color, that means it doesn’t mean sky, or water
y; I have to say this first
t; you scared me there
y; everyone has yellow chocobo, in patch 2.3 we have an update to Chocobo
y; thanks to everyone farming Atma I think many players are up to higher rank on their buddy chocobo
y; you can feed some item and change colors, we’re looking into this
t; does it mean you have to have max rank for buddy?
y; no doesn’t mean that
y; there is talk about chocobo stable for housing so this is for that
y; we’re talking about being able to train them and stuff too
y; I think we can talk about this in the Nagoya Fate event
f; please submit those questions on the forums
y; for two people riding on chocobo, we’re developing and testing this to see how it goes
y; we also have random where the pose changes randomly
y; 8 people riding (reading comment)
f; that’s too much
y; content where you can play with 2-3 people
y; people are saying it’s getting harder for casual players recently so we’re working on something like this and I can talk about the details on this one in the next Nagoya Fate.
y; people asking if there is a divorce system
y; well you can just trash the ring, we’re planning to have rings for wedding so you can just do that
y; yesterday minagawa talked about minion alliance team who’s working on minions
y; and there are minions i never seen before (they’re talking about nanamo minion, so it could happen)
f; for hairstyles, will we get additional hairstyle
y; in 2.3 you’ll get some more
y; it’ll be added as new patches are released
f; do you have plans for another collaboration event?
t; there is some dot related image
y; heard some saying if there is another XI collaboration event it would be nice, so I would like to talk to Matsui regarding that one
f; well times almost up
f; we have an announcement today
f; please check this out
(showing world fan fest tour schedule - Oct: Vegas / London - November Tokyo)
t; we need some trailer for this one
y; Annie you saying I can go with boat, if that’s ok sure I’ll do that
y; I want to do this event
t; October is pretty fast
y; yes
f; people might think it’s far out
f; but for event planners October is right around the corner
y; we have all the events then Fan Fest is right ater
f; do you plan to do anything for 1yr anniversary

f; foxclon y; yoship p; player (challenger)
There is some issue with niconico voting system, might not show the vote or get the results calculated due to system error. If they have any problem they’ll go with the audience’s cheer/claps at the event to decide on who’s the winner.
f; Durandal server Guram-san please come up
f; I’ll hand you the mic, but please don’t hold the tip
y; talked to him earlier and he told me he has something to say for this and he got picked
p; question regarding NGC and Pictologica Final Fantasy
f; it has to relate to XIV
p; it does
p; NGC FFXIV Eorzea is been going on Mondays, and 4/14 was Monday so I was hoping Yoshida-san was going to be there but wasn’t so I would like to see you come on next time
y; so you want me there, sure, I’ll try to get there
p; there is Pictologica Final Fantasy, we have FF14 event right now, right now you can get Thancred but his default weapon is Maquaftil (the wooden sword) I thought Thancred uses daggers, I thought he was Thief
y; He has a past, he can use different weapons + we have the job system
y; Times up
p; looking forward to seeing you at NGC
y; Thancred holding dagger in both hands is a bit of surprised so that’s why we didn’t put that in from the beginning.
f; lets vote, the system isn’t working so lets go with the audience, please clap if you think YoshiP won
f; please clap if you think Challenger won
f; it’s pretty clear YoshiP won
y; thank you
y; Oh we can use the 888 in chat (888 means clap clap clap in JP chat)
f; we will look at those as well then
f; from Tiamat Lagar san, please come up
p; regarding mount
f; lets start
p; most people probably don’t care about this but it really bothers me so I have to say this, I’m using female Elezen but when riding the horse how is she holding onto the horse, I want them to ride normally, + have different mounting styles (how they sit)
y; We put it in that way so it looks glamourous, but at same time the dev team also knows and wants to ride like normal but doing this is not easy as there is a lot of mounts, so the motion team is looking into it, but it may take some time
p; does that mean I can look forward to it?
y; they are looking into it.
f; lets vote once again with claps
f; challenger won
y; Hiroshi what are you doing there
f; you two have something to say?
f; we have Takai Hiroshi and Maehiro-san
p; I’m just body guard
p; regarding alagan tomestone
f; ok please sit
p; you probably don’t know be but I’m regular office worker, right now I’m working on mytho farming
p; please sell it to me
p; I’ll buy it with money
y; that means you have atma right?
y; how many books have you finished
p; 3 books
y; can you extend the play hours
p; can you extend my time off then?
y; that means you’re not quitting
y; how much will you buy it for?
p; 1 book for 1500 yen?
y; might be ok
y; I have to talk with the upper guy
y; I won’t look into this
p; whaat?
y; we’ll make adjustments in patch to increase the output
p; we’re just regular office workers
y; we can take it away from your salary then?
p; the price increased by 10x
f; were you able to say what you wanted to?
p; yes
f; (voting)
y; does that mean people want to buy it?
p; well if that’s going to answer the problem
y; I’m giving to you as a player, we’ll give it to the comment count prize
p; once we go to the back, I also wanted to ask you about Bravura’s accuracy issue
y; you should’ve talked about that one
f; next challenger, Ixion Azunyan san
p; happy birthday
y; thank you
p; regarding atma
p; this time we have a new zodiac quest where we need get 12 atma’s to progress into the quest
p; the FATEs, I’ve spent the whole day running FATEs and haven’t gotten one
p; and I was wondering if the devs are thinking something for this
p; there has to be some secret even
y; first are you equipped with zenith
y; and you’re in the correct area?
y; ok had to ask first, it’s just luck, there are those who might get in 23hours and others who haven’t gotten, it’s really based on real luck
y; there’s some occult rumors to run FATEs with time have you tried that
p; yes, but haven’t gotten it
y; well lets talk over about your real luck later
f; were you nervous
p; yes, well it’s players against the producer, so for sure
f; challenger lost
y; I think everyone has better drop rate than us
f; thank you
f; next challenger, Ridill server mechuman san
p; city nations depopulation
p; I’m in Ul’dah a lot but there isn’t much people now in Ul’dah
p; I really haven’t seen much people there, it’s probably because of housing or people moving to Mordhona
p; but I would like to see more players come to the city nations once again.
y; this is hard issue with any MMO, once players start going to end game content, they will go to the most convenient place
y; rev toll has been upgraded twice and the reason we did that was because we wanted to gradually move players over there and that’s why we moved only few features in each upgrades
y; we’ll try and work on the city nations updates but it will most likely not affect too much
y; I think I’ll lose this one, we can’t resolve this issue
f; Yoshida san won
y; this is probably one of the hardest question for MMO producer
y; I really want this to happen but I also believe there is less people
y; if we make the city nations better then players are going to say why put something back in city when we’re in rev toll
y; but I do think this is issue we need to think of
f; Unicorn server, tami-san
f; Not here, lets move on
f; Gungnir, Pandaman-san are you here
(connection lost on vid.. noooooooooo)
p; regarding tank
p; regarding warrior, since hiroshi san is here, can you change the additional class to Dragoon
p; in 1.0 we were able to parry but we want to something to increase that
p; also the inner beast is only 6 seconds, for people who like warriors that’s not a problem
p; but can we increase by 1-2 seconds?
y; that’s too long
y; I don’t think making it too long is good, we have no plans to make that part easier
y; you have to talk to other warriors and learn the best timing to use, i think that’s the good part for MMO
y; where you can teach and learn from others
p; also right now the level cap is 50 but what’s going to happen to the item level when that changes
f; times up
y; if you try to say everything there isn’t enough time
f; how much were you able to say?
p; about 30%
f; YoshiP wins
y; people probably know this from producer letter live, when I talk, I talk long
y; so you have to think of that as well when asking me
f; next challenger, Mandora server, Holy summers san
p; regarding achievement
f; lets start
p; I finished all the relic and zenith for all, for achievement we get title for relic
p; but for animus there isn’t one
y; we first had one for animus, but it was way too hard so we talked and decided lets just keep it to one
p; I think having an achievement increases motivation, can we have a mount
y; I’ll look into this and move forward
y; it’s hard, but we received lots of requests so we’ll look into this
p; also can you do the same for mytho/sold gear
y; you basically want everything on achievement
p; yes
y; we’ll check with the server data but we’ll look into it
y; achievement is good for those that likes working on stuff in long term
f; Ifrit server -
p; Yoshidaaaaaa!
y; you should of said it after you grabbed the mic
p; regarding bards song skills
p; right now there is requiem that lowers 10%, for physical dps we can’t
y; we have to look at overall jobs balance for that
p; how about increasing slash or blunt
y; well increasing other jobs dps means we have to lower your dps
y; are you ok with that?
y; we have to look at overall balance to make that change
p; if it’s going to help the close range dps then I’ll sacrifice my bard dps
y; we’ll have to ask everyone about this
y; he was brave to say that
f; there was some but YoshiP won
y; you’re thinking about the close range dps,
y; thanks for coming
f; today Yoshida-san is winning more
p; regarding armoury system
p; the current armoury system, after leveling everything to lv50, right now you can only join the content with one job but due to the one week limit on BC you can’t get other jobs gear
y; you’re saying the jobs are being limited because after getting the main jobs item you can’t enter with your other jobs?
p; well I don’t care about item loot, I just want to go in as another job to help others
y; If we do that good players can keep on going to help and that will break the way we have the system (how gear level is increased for players) set up.
y; I’m sure others feel the same about this
*** sorry missed this one, got confused on what the person was talking about ***
*** was regarding ranking system on the Lodestone for GC/FC
f; next is last, Bahamut server Arumikan san
y; I talked to him earlier
p; I’m really happy,
p; want to talk regarding ranking
p; ranking started earlier, I want to see some more good looking, cute gear
y; you want more ways to increase motivation to gain ranks
y; if we make the ranking too hi
(sorry missed)
y; they’re planning to add more gear for glamour gear which can be obtained from achievements and crafting
y; Once the popularity comes down it should get cheaper f
f; sorry times up
(guessing they’re talking about the FC/GC weekly/monthly ranking system)
f; this was a fun event so we would like to do this one again in future
y; yes, this was fun, I was pretty nervous too
y; I’m guessing what the answer is when I hear the theme
y; but sometimes the questions totally different from what I was guessing
done *
