oh wtf

Pretty much said he's avoiding the action-game style Fishing that XI was and turning it into something relaxing and focused on filling your log with fish/size achievements. They didn't outright say Fishing won't impact other things like crafting, but I think they worded it that it was "leaning away" from fish being important items (also to avoid fish-botting).

I'll enjoy my welfare Relic weapon that i didnt have the time to spend on it (Had all my hamlet items but it was close to the last save and didnt feel like wasting time doing it). Atleast i dont have to do the hamlet shit again.

I think it's a good thing to avoid fish botting and control food prices and what not. I was just looking forward to doing something while I read for class, since gathering is too active.

So if Fishing is just a fun time hobby, should it even be considered a class/job/whatever? Let me fish as a MNK or BLM or WHM, ect.

Once you equip a fishing rod in your main weapon slot you'll switch to fisher and you'll get the fisher's ability set instead of your previous class/job.

So, did anyone who didn't play 1.0 at all, and ONLY signed up for the PS3 version, on a NA PSN account get an email? Everyone I see is either a 1.0 player, PC/PS3 player, or EU player.. Any confirmation that Non-1.0, non-PC, non-EU emails went out?

I'm meant the Labyrinth part. I remember the upgrades being mentioned, it's just the first time I have seen them linked to Bahamut's Labyrinth

If the upgrades are available when ARR launches, it makes sense for them to be in the hardest raid, I just can't remember seeing it anywhere

It's very possible I just misinterpreted or conflated bits and pieces from interviews with that statement. In the end, my takeaway is that Yoshida has a pretty good idea of how to set up the gear hierarchy.

ACN/SMN/SCH look nice. I could live without the writing in the book (I preferred the flipping pages from XI SCH; is this supposed to be a diary?) but whatevs.

The writing kinda makes sense with the idea that summoning in Final Fantasy has nearly always involved summoning circles of some sort. The animation makes it look as though the mage writes it down, and then magically takes it off the page and throws it up into the air.

I didn't really like the animation for Summoner, seems ok for Scholar though.

Supposed to write that shizz down beforehand, not in the middle of a fight.

Aren't these grimoires supposed to be ancient repositories of knowledge? Are they taking notes in the margins?

Also, did they skip some of the animation, or is ACN read-only? Kind of makes sense, I suppose.

Seriously, you two should get married. Match made in Hell.

Is there a reason you have to respond to any criticism? We get you are excited, a lot of people are. No reason to have to respond to any comment you dislike. We're entitled to our opinions.

Considering conjury and thaumaturgy have like five different casting animations each, it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same for book-casting.

Fucking this, rofl

Animations looked good.

[Waraji]

I'm sure you are, and My excited is quite easily that of a rock rolling down hill, but every race has small variations of the same animation for the different spell types. You two, are by luck, the only people criticizing the animations.

In XI yes, we don't know about XIV though.

If you have a shitty opinion you don't deserve to play FFXIV.
