Poor bard. Messing up those minstrel fingers by punching shit.

The animations will look even better, IMO, once the game figures out how to make characters look solidly rooted to the ground. Right now it almost feels like I'm looking at a wireframe background with a model performing the motions. I can't put my finger on what makes everything look so stiff, but hopefully whatever it is will be gone by 2.0.

Is the ant mob the BLM is fighting new or is it just a regular antlion oversized/seen from a taru PoV?

The NMs tend to be larger than their normal counterparts. I can't say for sure, but that might be the Nest Commander. That looked like the right area for it. Lalafell PoV probably had a lot to do with it too, 'cause that did look freaking huge, even for the Nest Commander.

It's been awhile since I actually paid attention to antlions, but I'm pretty sure that's the normal model.

Been waiting for a translation on this, but one still hasn't popped up. Can anyone make heads or tails of this babelfished translation?

Hello. Thank you for feedback in various ways.

Materia can be fitted to the equipment can not be dedicated to the job.
Performance currently will be better than those equipped with the materialization of the forbidden to be produced by Crafter. However, you need to give the materialization of the forbidden to those produced by Crafter in a future patch, so we are considering in the direction we also add new equipment will be stronger than the equipment dedicated to the job, that point please rest assured.

Because it was so familiar with the name of the artifact found for everyone,
now referred to as artifact equipment dedicated to the job. , "Artifacts" still remain, the group is collectively referred to as armor such as special equipment dedicated to the job (whichever of the artifact will be the broad sense) will be "dedicated to the job with" "artifact" ≠

When the actual translation goes up I'll edit this one, but I'm trying to figure out if this means we can socket materia to our AF.

*Edit*
So I don't triple post, here's some NA Dev comments:

Hello.

In version 2.0, we plan on revamping the system for the appearance of weather so that the weather itself has meaning behind it. Since there are limitations to what can be implemented in the game, it would be difficult to depict every aspect of nature realistically, but we will do our best to match the weather patterns with each area in conjunction with all of your feedback.

There are things we can and can’t implement, but if you have any ideas, please send them to us.

We’re aware that users are looking forward to additional ways to transfer items between characters on their own account while waiting for the delivery system planned for 2.0. Triairy spoke with Yoshida about this, and it turns out that it would be just as difficult to allow item transfers between characters on the same account as it is to implement the delivery system. However, he did say that he will look into possibilities like this.

We’ll be sure to share more details as we receive them!

This new letter is a myth...

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-02-29 18:10

Getting information this week has been a myth.

**Dein** · 2012-02-29 18:20

I can't shake the feeling that there'll be yet another delay at this rate. I really hope I'm wrong since I want to mess around with the job system and get rid of the crysta I bought over a year ago.

**Niiro** · 2012-02-29 18:20

Either the letter isn't coming and they're just jumping straight into patch notes (since the patch is supposed to be next week).

Or the letter will come Monday along with an announcement that the patch is delayed again.

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-29 18:21

Not to be snarky, but why does anyone even care about this letter? We're going to get v1.21 patch notes in like a week or less anyways.

**Niiro** · 2012-02-29 18:35

People are probably wary of the latter scenario in my last post (or something similar).

Boooring~

and that babelfish'd dev comment was translated as such:

It won’t be possible to attach materia to job-specific gear. Job-specific gear will feature stats that are better than gear that is craftable that have more than one materia attached. With that said, we will look into adding new gear in future patches that will have better stats than job-specific gear with multiple materia attached to them.

There was also a question about the reasoning for the job-specific gear being referred to as AF (or artifact gear). While the upcoming job-specific gear is a type of artifact gear, there are plans to have other types of artifact gear in the future, some of which won’t necessarily be job-specific.

I just remembered that they never gave us any details whatsoever on the whole "Legacy" items they mentioned so many moons ago.

And here's a bonus gif of Blunt Shot just because it looks rad. :3

**Alkar** · 2012-02-29 20:55

Basically everyone will be using AF until 1.22 hits. Not that I mind really, those things look better than anything we have in-game right now.
I just hope they have unique stats and traits like in FFXI.

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-02-29 21:01

I just hope they have stats that actually help the class/job... I'm looking at you CHR...

**Ratatapa** · 2012-02-29 21:06

Need it for voke anyway

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-02-29 21:11

.................Not sure if serious but I'm going to leave it at that.

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-29 21:11

I already smell a bunch of boring MP and HP on Monk attire...

There's a tiny bit of hope in me somewhere that they will have stats that lower specific action cooldowns or add bonus effects to abilities... But yeah, incoming base attributes onry.

**Cichy** · 2012-02-29 21:28

I want cure potency for my whm son

I agree completely with that.
