Interview With Mizuki Ito on FINAL FANTASY XI's New Expansion Pack

[Chamaan]

Dude everything in that camp was garbage. All the debuffs and one-hit TP moves from mobs. Paralyze just by itself was bad enough. Paralyze is the worst thing in this game that doesn't pay a subscription fee.

[Septimus]

God this so much. Selks and his ilk sometimes make me want to go back to windy myself.

I have Selks Blacklisted, nothing he says could possibly be worth it.

And the sad part is that Bahamut had a fraction of the dumb in our shout channels before the server merge; it was considered very bad etiquette to shout for anything other than important things, conversations almost never happened and people who had them were shunned.

[orinthia]

Ramuh did have a lot of stupid, and a lot of shout conversations in jeuno. Sorry bahamut. /insert image here of old man Ramuh wearing a gawdy two piece bikini dry humping Bahamut's tail. Though I don't think selks was from ramuh unless he went by a different name there...

Oh, to be curious about that idiot No!

Spoiler: show

His shouts were so amazingly stupid last night. He can't even act like his account was sold lol. Though the real fail is me not having him filtered. I hate seeing half a shout fest more than any single person's stupid shouting.

[Chamaan]

I don't know this young coxswain you Bahamut gentiles are referring to, but surely he is not the likes of a young master Welfare of the Valefor Welfares.

Sometimes he starts shouting the names of books and movies with words replaced with the autotrans "Dhalmel". And he'll do that for hours. The same joke. He's said "Dhalmel and Greg" so many times its lost all meaning.

[Alistaire]

Paralyze is the worst thing in this game that doesn't pay a subscription fee.

Laughed maybe more than I should have at that. Also, idk about para being worst...amnesia?

[NynJa]

Amnesia is the dumbest fucking shit

Oh youre silenced? Np we'll give a spell that removes silence, as well as really cheap and readily available items to remove it.

Oh youre amesiaed? We'll give you a fucking barspell that never fucking works.

[dasva]

I've spent a few hours in the water in port windy. It's actually kinda neet.

[Ophannus]

Well to be fair, imps were easy as fuck and didn't have any damaging AoEs besides aga-2's which could be interrupted/stunned/silenced. So to compensate for the fact that they were weaksauce, they gave them an annoyingly debilitating AoE.

Yeah well, imps aren't the only things to have amnesia now. They weren't even its first appearance.

[Damane]

wasnt promathia the first thing to sport amnesia? (if I remember correctly). Most annoying move is anyway now AoE Doom. First it was only a gaze attack (garguilles) and then it went AoE (but not bad) in Fiat Lux until it went apeshit dureing abyssea and voidwatch into AoE unavoidable Doom that puts you on double weakened state (Kalasutrax anyone?). Or just reduce the counter to 5 seconds!

[NynJa]

Its only a matter of time before HNM's have endeath with 100% accuracy and 100% DA rate

[Septimus]

I think that encharm is pretty much a cock-tastrophe. I am expecting them to put that on a lot of shit in the next expansion because it is totally balanced.

[Yukari]

Needs more charm aura and very fast movespeed.

[dasva]

I kinda like it on pld when I got a fanatics up. Just pop fealty and get your choice of people to beat on!

Need something with a 20 yalm 3 second endoom aura that is occasionally puts up magic shields that are only removable with 10kish straight melee dmg

[Lordender]

When previous expansion packs were released, not all areas were available at launch. Will it be the same situation with “Seekers of Adoulin” and, if so, can we expect to see its game world expand in the future instead?

ITO: Adoulin will follow the same pattern as previous expansions and the areas will gradually open up over time. In this expansion, the hinterland will get deeper and deeper, allowing players to undertake expeditions that go increasingly inward. Future additions will also include ruins that have never been seen before.


translation: It will take 3 years of slow excruciating updates like wings of the goddess.

You do remember correctly.

Encharm is HILARIOUS for Wazir. No one dies from it, everyone just kinda gets a minute break.

The only mob that has the right to hold en-charm would be a futur HNM version of Siren! the En-charm only applies if Siren is not Silenced! But since its a song casting HNM, Silence will be resisted anyway 99% of the time!

[ronin sparthos]

You do remember correctly.

Nitpicking but while Promathia was the first enemy to use Amnesia, Tauri were the first to doom and not Gargouille. That being said Amnesia has never been that terrible as you're still able to auto-attack but the combos of Charm/DOT, AOE doom and straight insta-deaths are just unbelievably stupid. I'm sure here's the part where SE points to the new gear that improves cursna and subsequently shits over your dwindling inventory.

Hey SE. Learn to use floor hazards.

[Alistaire]

Didn't notice that part, wasn't saying he remembered that correctly; my comment was only about amnesia.
