Ninja gameplay from live letter:

Tid bits I found interesting from the live letter:

 

Q1: When participating in Frontline and changing jobs, you have to constantly re-do your PvP actions and traits. Can you make it so these are saved for each job?

A1: I understand the request and we've started to look into making it so the actions set per job are saved. Please give us a bit of time to work on this.

Q3: In Frontline, PvP gear is somewhat disadvantageous since Morale is not utilized, but I’d really like to wear this gear and play. Can you please make it so glamours work in PvP only for PvP gear?

A3: In patch 2.35 we will be making it possible to use glamours. We are also aware of the disadvantages when it comes to the stats and we will be making adjustments.

Q6: Do have any plans to expand Frontline? If so, what kind of expansion do you have in mind?

A6: Looking at all regions, Japanese users seem to be playing Frontline content the most. Since it's receiving a lot of positive attention we are proactively looking into the addition of maps and rules. Map-wise, it's important to create them so it's balanced for all three groups, so we expect this to take a bit of time.

Q11: Do you plan on adding another stat for PvP equipment instead of Morale for Frontline?

A11: We designed Frontline to be an even PvP playing field, so we are not thinking about adding Morale or swapping it for a different kind of stat. However, I understand that compared to other equipment with similar item levels, the PvP equipment is inferior, so we would like to make adjustments to this.

 

Q12: In Hullbreaker Isle, we only fight the tentacles of the Kraken. Will we ever see the Kraken again?

A12: Of course! You will see the Kraken reappear in the near future so please stay tuned.

 

Q18: Currently, the elite marks die instantly even after the recent adjustment. Are there any plans to make further adjustments?

A18: We are currently looking into ways of addressing this issue without simply increasing the HP of the marks.

 

Q25: Will the story for the Crystal Tower end in the next Crystal Tower update?

A25: First, the story for the Coil of Bahamut will end in patch 2.4. Next, the story for the Crystal Tower will come to an end in patch 2.5. We are also planning to make the Forbidden Land, Eureka, but because it might have a different feel compared to the Crystal Tower, we are thinking of possibly introducing it after waiting a while.

 

Q26: Previously, Yoshi-P mentioned that it would be interesting to go to the moon, but do you have any other information about the alliance-based instanced raid to come after Crystal Tower?

A26: Well, I don’t know if we will be going to the moon, but the next alliance-based instanced raid will be something brand-new for FINAL FANTASY XIV.

 

Q34: In a previous interview, you mentioned that you are aiming to make this an MMORPG that continues for over 10 years, but at the moment how far have you planned into the future?

A34: Currently, the area where players will be and what they will be doing in patch 4.0 has been coming into our vision, so to give you a rough idea, we've progressed our planning to about four years into the future. ( my note :this will hurt the doomsayers feelings)

 

Q49: During the 15th Letter from the Producer LIVE, you mentioned that you were intrigued with the game “Evolve” at E3. Are there any plans to implement something similar to this game style (4 vs. 1)?

A49: Since the game style consists of 4 players going against a monster controlled by another player, we would have to consider various aspects such as creating a new interface. We might look into the idea further once we start implementing updates after 3.0.

    All great news. Already have the roadmap for the next four years, thats pretty amazing. We are closing in on the first year and they have delivered on almost everything they have said. Golden saucer is going to be huge. I can't even imagine the scope of the first expansion. I'm really glad I got in on this game at launch. Its going to be something that I'm glad to have in my gaming library for the next decade.

    Hands down Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is the best mmo out right now !!

  • ZenTaoYingYangZenTaoYingYang Member Posts: 354

    also by guesstimating from having coil ending in 2.4 and crystal tower ending in 2.5 , its a safe bet that expansion will go live in FEB, ie we might even get trailer for expansion in OCT.

     

     

    Edit: OH found very interesting slide for the anniversary :

     

     

    this means in aug/sep they will introduce free trail for 14 days for anyone. I think the restriction will be not being able to shout, sell and buy items etc.

    Already planning content up to 4 years from now? Very nice to hear. Huge difference from what has become the standard of cutting corners and content a few months to a year after launching a game. So tired of devs who promise content at launch only to not follow through and leave in a bunch of half finished content and broken mechanics. Glad to see SE is planning on keeping things going as they have been.

    Everyone is going to be a Ninja especially since they are releasing it by its self without other new Jobs at the same time

    They just keep the updates coming and fulfill most promises about content in a timely order.  This is what I like to see in a developer.  It may or may not be one of the best MMOs on the market right now, but I'd definitely say it has the best development team to date.  Interested in more Letters from the Producer and Live Letters to see bits and pieces of what they have planned for the next four years.

     

    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.

    We will bear witness to the Great Ninja Fate Run of 2.4

    Its going to be mayhem. Cant wait haha

    Said I wouldn't roll Ninja the moment they were released. Because everyone else would be doing that. After watching that clip though. I'm without a doubt going to be rolling a ninja the day, the hour, the minute the servers go live with the update.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.
