Fuck you, Foxer. Bring back your old avatar. She was hot AND intellectual.

He's saying the "always online" requirement is irrelevant since you'd need to be online always anyways to play an MMO on any platform. Rata is French and fails at English; I've learned this from the NHL thread.

Oh yeah, I get it now. Either way that's not the point as the real issue is that Microsoft does not want its players to play with PS and PC and Yoshida isn't willing to do that. TESO on the other hand is going to have different servers for PS4, Xbone and PC.

It's yours!

All.. yours!

HNNNGNN!!

I like that the PvP isn't mandatory.

Me too. The PvP has to be low priority in FFXIV. ><!

If they do what they tried to do in TERA, they'll ruin it. This game, much like TERA, was designed for PvE. The PvP in TERA is only fun when it's casually played and somewhat even/organized. 4v4 and 8v8 is nothing short of fantastic when it comes to PvP, though. I have screamed up and down how BGs in TERA should have been 10-man, as opposed to 15-man, although I don't know if that alone would have fixed their praised but flawed combat system.

Having T11, T12 dungeon, T13 Victor's, T13 Fraywind, T14 Conjunct, T14 Bloodrave, and T14 Visionmaker, was mentally retarded as well. Like someone said earlier, keeping it to a standard PvP set would be gold. To step that up even more, have those PvP sets designed exclusively for a class and even better, so long as it's somewhat easy to obtain.

I'd let her whip me any day.

Well we know there will be PvP gear but if there is any sort of PvP gear progression path like Fraywind > Conjunct > VM (and now new conjunct and VM...) or PvP progression in general (especially with large power creep) then we're bound to see lots more posts like these:

I don't particularly like PvP in MMO's.... but this mostly stems from the fact that there always seems to be PvP-specific gear that takes just as long to attain as PvE gear, and I don't care enough to go after both. I got tired of getting rolled in other games because somebody was decked out in +pvp dmg gear or whatever.

They could make you go PvP in standard-issue gear so that you could see player vs player, not college-kid-with-18-hrs-a-day vs full-time-job-with-kids.

It basically boils down to Yoshi's philosophy when it comes to PvP gearing in general and if he feels that evenly geared fights should be the norm or if you should be rewarded for your effort and time spent PvPing and gearing by being able to stomp your opponent with ease.

Another interview with Yoshida, touches on gear stats, classes transitioning into multiple jobs, and some other minor stuff. Enjoy.

Very interesting read about the plans for the Lodestone. Looking forward to playing with the API. Surprised they are adding an item database with info on where to get the items, never thought SE would do such things.

[Eldelphia]

I'm just glad there is PvP. Until SWTOR I had zero interest in PvP ever and thought it was a waste of time. SWTOR PvP is pretty good and about the only thing I miss from that game. I've enjoyed PvP in most games since so I'm hoping it's just an additional fun thing I can do for a change. FFXI really did fail on that front.

I got an email in Japanese that google translated into just info about the next beta test, which is weird cause SE never sends me JP emails. Anyone else got it?

[Madeline]

A lot of people did apparently. Including me!

[Wulfgang]

Yep same thing

[Xanthe]

Yep, I got it.

Indeed, Yoshi-P is certainly making things happen over as SE HQ that i certainly would have never put my money on. I will wait another year or two, but it might be safe to assume that he might be the best thing to happen to SE since they parted with Sakaguichi.

If he turns this thing around, I wonder how much clout he'll have within the company. Will he become the modern version of the original boys who could do no wrong in the Famicom days?

The most interesting part was where he explained how other jobs could come from classes. He gave the hypothetical Dark Knight from Gladiator. He mentioned adjusting the GLD abilities at Lv.30 to suit a DRK. It seems that Yoshi-P is going to be flexible with these Classes -> Jobs. It looks like he really wants Jobs to have an identity and not be clones of Classes, with fancy AF. It also makes me hopeful for other jobs. If he can change how it performs at Lv.30 they don't have to shoehorn situations.

Maybe one day we'll get a sequel to Chrono Trigger!

(I liked Chrono Cross, come at me)
