Hiromichi Tanaka at Japan Expo (July1~4)

[Null]

How many character slots will each player account have access to per server?

That' actually the main thing I wish to know. Mostly for names purpose. And I'd like to pick two races.

[Agito]

Since the one question out of all the interviews with Tanaka at E3 2010 that was asking directly about the endgame was misunderstood, i would like this question to be asked again but it needs to be reworded so it's easily understandable. Here's my question:

*What type of content can the hardcore players look forward to after reaching the maximum level?

That was the best i could come up with, someone else might be able to have a better variation of a question asking about the endgame.

Not really a good question but I'm curious,
Will FFXIV be released on steam and might it support steam features?

While I am uncertain if it means that they will for xiv, they are currently using steam for some of their other titles.

[SamanosukeShiva]

achivement system would be awesome

my question:

Would there be an achievement system?

I like this question, but there's a good chance it will be "We are still looking into our release options"

Already answered by FFXIVCore interview:

Q. Will there any type of achievements or trophies to show off defeated bosses or special things done?

A. Yes, we do have a lot of plans. For example, for some quests there will be special rewards. You might be able to get special title depending on what you do, there will be several different things you can get to show off what you've done.

What kind of pre-order bonuses can we expect?
Will there be a collector's edition?
Will there be an afro hairstyle available>

I am going to try and reword this a few times for clarity and translation ease, or I might make it more complicated.

Because the linkshell system had very minimal features, linkshell leaders and officers were generally left up to their own devices when tracking linkshell members, organizing events and occasionally keeping the peace.


What kind of features can we expect in the linkshell system?

FFXI's linkshell system was very limited, are there more in depth features or tools to help linkshell leaders, officers and members?

"We're creating a new feature to help linkshells called Companies, we're excited to see what players think of it when Beta starts"
or something like that.

I'm thinking more along the lines of features explicit to linkshells. e.g., can we set up multiple chat channels in a single linkshell? Can temporary powers be granted, like the leader being able to mute the chats, and even being able to give other people the power to mute chats, and even being able to give other people the power to give other people that power, etc. Additional functionality.

Can the PS3 version take screenshots?

What do you expect will happen to the FFXI playerbase after release? (lol)

Nuh uh. We's suckers.

[Zerocool]

What do you expect will happen to what's left of the FFXI playerbase after release? (lol)

Fixed.

[Hyan]

How will the class traits work? Similar to Blue Mage's traits in XI, or something else? What kind of effects can we look forward to seeing with this system?

I'm going to second the question regarding SLI / Crossfire support for the finished product.

I ain't no computer hacker, but considering people were able to enable it for their benchmarks, shouldn't the same little trick work easily enough for the actual game?

They will continue to hang on to their digital trophies earned from hours of struggling through hilariously redundant gameplay and continue to think anyone gives two shits about it.

Obviously FFXI had a very positive affect on you.
