Letter from the Producer LIVE Part V (02/21/2013)

[Raldo]

Slightly on topic: Is there a non-NDA-breaking answer to how/where one obtains minions in game (rare drops/dungeon drops/quest rewards)?

Town NPC vendor.

[Lucavi]

Ya, where is Lucavi.

Someone lit my signal. You -are- a moron, however, but not for playing XI.

@Mioko: Letter probably this upcoming Monday? Tuesday, once the test is "officially" over?

[Don Katsu]

Is Monday really the end of Phase 1? I thought it was four weeks....

[Gokulo]

Not this Monday

Check the Beta forums. Some updates.

[Alkimi]

(o.O ) How many years did it take for Adaberk to be replaced? Or has it even been replaced yet?

I believe it's still the best TP body for certain jobs, although it has to be an augmented version.

[Elcura]

This depends entirely which BG you're talking about. At this point you've got like BGv1 Edwardtheblack, BGv2 Berticus, BGv3 Sendoh, BGv4 Sonomaa, BGv5 Blazer, WoWBG1 idfk Berticus?, WoWBG2 Russta?, you know what I don't know shit about WoW BG or XIV BG, but both have been at least two iterations apiece, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was more. What I'm saying is, there's probably a "TheOrderoftheBluegartr" or "BlueGarter" or whateverthefuck playing either Final Fantasy MMO or otherwise, but I doubt you would recognize much of anything. I haven't seen Ondori make a video nor Septimus bother to pen an ode in years and I doubt that's going to change any time soon

Edit: Oh, let's not even get into the fact there was WoWBG XIV (Rabanastre) and FFXIBG XIV (Palamecia) and BG Forums XIV (Palamecia) though the last two weren't that much different considering "FFXIBG XIV" died in about two weeks cuz the game was awfulest at release


tl;dr there is no bg, everyone is retarded, xi is a dead game, xiv is a dead game, wow is a dead game, gw1 is a dead game, gw2 is a dead game, age of conan is a dead game, swtor is a dead game, star wars galaxies is the best mmo, lotro is a dead game, that d&d mmo is a dead game, the burning crusade killed wow, wings of the goddess killed ffxi, wrath of the lich king killed wow, salvage bans killed ffxi, cataclysm killed wow, addons killed ffxi, mists of pandaria killed wow, abyssea killed ffxi, ffxiv arr and seekers of adoulin will restore se to mmo glory and diablo 3 was a colossal flop and sc2 is awful

that's a really long and awesome way to tell people to shut up.

only difference at this point is how much you like teeth, right?

Seekers have slit pupils, while Keepers have round, dilated pupils. Keepers also supposedly have larger...tracts of land. And the obvious color pallet differences.

Who else here went 1/144 on Skirmish Pephedro in Bhaflau Remnants? ^O.o Yeah, my crew did.

I ended up being 0/ILostTrack on Zebra Zachary for Ares' Gauntlets. We were lucky if he ever popped.

Still not happy I can't make a AA Miqo'te...

[Lucavi]

Hgggnnngh... lets just not talk about her and all of her awesomeness. <3 <3 <3

Fuck, ALL of the AA are badass as hell. That Galka battle stance... so calm. So serene. So murder.

[Manako]

I'm not sure that is true anymore, but I haven't checked. Highlander is obvious choice.

Argh, damnit. Reminds me how badly I wanted those stances available for my own character. -_- Namely AA Hume and AA Galka WAR and SAM.

Friend who recently quit XI told me that they finally gave me something else I'd wanted and made equippable copies of the AA weapons. I wigged out 'til he told me they were all DMG:1.

( o.O) Shameless fanboy moment, but the AAs would be good candidates for some kinda interdimensional coliseum... since it IS a game for the fans... >_> Also, manako speaks wisdom. Highlander ftw.

[Lucavi]

I feel like they've got as good of a shot as any other boss to be in the Gold Saucer, especially with SE releasing their weapons to the frothing masses in XI.

That whole part of the game was just... really well done. Perhaps its the nostalgia talking, but, aside from the blm-burn strat reducing their fearsomeness to nil, everything about those bastards was so amazing.

I still wish they would have given us Drachenfall. Maybe in XIV...

Anything is possible with Yoshi at the helm.

You can live through anything if magic made it.

Quite true.
I was all about the Roe til I made a femlander... best emotes in the game.
