Comments from the Devs

Bleh shits gotta be at 100% to go into storage... that's stupid.

Don't forget that most things are R1 (or 10) so you can repair them all yourself with a level 1 [repair class].

[Croy]

Wrong unless it's different in the Japanese documents.

The info that it was the intro trailer came from one of the interviews shortly after it was released, it was one of the English interviews I'll look around and try to find it.

Edit:

Found it. It was the Famitsu interview from Japan. Via Reinheart at post 1606 of his translation thread.

New Opening Movie
The new Opening movie made for the New FFXIV is planned to be released at 2012 E3 (Short term for Electronic Entertainment Expo presented at Los Angeles, USA)

Basically there is still hope for the press one to be most gameplay, and they can release the intro trailer online later as well as on the show floor.

Well I'm not going to look for interviews that are months old or even Dev replies in the official forums as that'd be a nightmare right now but I'm 100% sure this concern was quickly addressed by Yoshida himself and he said that gameplay would be shown as well. We don't know SE's plans for E3 just yet but they aren't exactly limited to 1 trailer only if that's what you're worried about. They could easily show the new cinematic to explain what happens in the storyline and also show gameplay afterwards.
Even when FFXIV was announced they had a "surprise" panel afterwards to answer some questions, they'll probably have something similar or even set up playable booths for the new version.

[Kurokikaze]

I'm looking forward to new benchmark. Need something to tie me over till E3.

Edit: Or any version 2.0 media blitz to occur. All that information back in October was boss but we haven't really seen much in the way of reveals since then.

[TacoTaru]

Only update I've seen today

Some more info regarding linkshell switch macro text command.

Yes, while crafting/gathering/fighting in any situation by using the text command or (if setup on keyboard) by using the short cut key you will be able to switch.

I understand your feeling but with current system to make this change the cost is high therefore we will not going to address this one with current version. Sorry for the inconvenience but hope you can understand.

[Kurokikaze]

Wow content finder will be used for leveling with people from other worlds as well as for dungeons. Look at SE going a step beyond whats expected.

Aratharn we'll level together soon! It'll be like playing the lottery trying to get grouped together. lol

Edit: And just like clockwork... People are bitching. LOL

Making "ZeroBlivion" shell in preparation.

Assuming I got this correct, we can PT with other people from othe rservers outside of dungeons as well?

rofl win.

From my understanding yeah... Unless that was lost in translation. I'm curious cause only game that does anything remotely similar is GW.

こんばんは。
Good evening,

PT目的にレベル上げ／レベリングの項目がなく、不便な状況に関しては把握しているのですが、他の優先事項との兼ね合いがあり、現行版運営中には対応することができません。
In the recruitment screen under the purpose section there isn't category for leveling, we understand the inconvenience but we have other tasks with higher priority and cannot address this issue with current system

新生では、コンテンツファインダーが導入され、このスレッドでも要望をいただいているレベリングやレイドダンジョン攻略などの様々な目的／対象レベルなどを設定することでワールドの垣根を越え、目的に応じたPTを手軽に組むことができます。
In 2.0's content finder you will be able to party easily with people from other worlds to do leveling or raid dungeons.

なお、新生においてはPTを組む際、以下の2つの機能を目的や用途ごとに使い分けてもらうことを想定しています。
Making party in 2.0 will be done by using below two features.
コンテンツファインダー
コンテンツ参加やレベル上げなど特定の目的のために、
誰とでもいいのでとにかくPTを組みたいというプレイヤー向け
Content Finder
For players who want to join content or leveling where you just want to party and don't care who to party with.
PCサーチ
自分がリーダーになってPTを編成したいというプレイヤーや、
知らない人とPTを組むのはちょっと抵抗があるというプレイヤー向け
PC Search
For those players wanting to be PT leader to make the parties or for those who don't want to party with players they never met before.

こ のように、レベリングやダンジョン攻略などの目的達成のために、とにかくPTを組んでコンテンツに参加したいという方は、コンテンツファインダーを利用し 手軽にPTを組み、自分がリーダーになって好きなPT編成をしたいという方は、PCサーチから誘ってPTを組むことができるようになります。 
By this for those who just want to join PT to participate in a content or leveling can simply use content finder and for those who want to become leader and setup party you like can use PC search to invite and make a party.

If true, going to be interesting to see how it's pulled off.

[Kurokikaze]

Could be instanced zones? They do pitch the Worldless Model in the 2.0 docs.

[Lucavi]

SE's version of Raidfinder and cross-server instances. Interesting...

[solracht]

Hoping it's done better than in Warcraft.

[dfdfpp]

Do I even want to know what people are bitching about...?

Also, not to sound antagonistic, but what did you (solracht) think was wrong with WoW's version? For a while (when I didn't have or want to spend much time logged in) that's like literally all I played in WoW, and I never felt like it was badly done, per se.

[TacoTaru]

If you mean on the Official Forums, it's because it's the Official forums and they won't be happy until the game is a longer grind and a more botched mess than it was at 2010 launch. There is literally a thread there saying we need the 2010 launch system for leveling. I don't want to bother trying to find it, because my head will explode, but you get the idea.

[Nullibicity]

They need to just go ahead and get rid of the official forums.

[Raldo]

I think it would be tolerable if all they did was remove the "General Discussion" section.

Semi-offtopic:

Spoiler: show

I'm not going to get into a lengthy discussion here since it's a little offtopic (I'm fine doing it on PMs if you wish though), but from a community point of view, I didn't think WoW's LFG was supported by their realm setup. It was impossible to easily interact with people after meeting them cross-server, making it pointless to ever think of others as real people.

If you're going to let us do things with other players cross-server, at least let us interact with them at all times... not just for specific events. I have nothing against cross-server groups, but I want the game to support them at all times.

Build the game around cross-server interaction, don't just add it as a bandaid fix: let us send messages and invites cross-server (streamline Warcraft's RealID/battletag system), or let us jump between servers easily (like in GW1 or Diablo 3). Just don't half-ass it.

For me there was nothing more heart-breaking than meeting seemingly cool/good players and knowing I'd never be able to interact with them again unless I gave them my personal information/email (Real ID), which I wasn't about to do with people I just met. Blizzard's battletag was a step in a good direction, but a little late, and as far as I know, you still have to give that away.

[Izzy]

Hoping it's done better than in Warcraft.

What?

How could you even improve on Warcraft's system? It works exactly how it should.

That's how every game should do cross-server content.

[Kurokikaze]

Camate:

I'd just like to clarify one thing...

It will not be possible to use the content finder to form open-world experience point parties and such, pulling people from other worlds. It will be possible to indicate the objective "Leveling" but it will take place only in certain areas such as instanced raids.

Ahh.. Didn't think it would be possible. Still though thats good I suppose that you can flag yourself as seeking exp in Darkhold/Cutters/etc.
