Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Shenrien]

It probably all will take place in that giant cube like thing in the snow place, w/e it's called.

[Kincard]

having reives in that zone is gonna feel pretty forced and contrived.

ancient civilization, so giant webs obviously

need a different survival skill to break through something as badass as that

[Edelweiss]

Weird geometrical land... more ancient civilizations!! This time they should just make it aliens that set up an outpost on Ulbuka.. and then endgame can be on a moonbase cuz FF fans love dem some moonbase!!!

Especially since alternate reality, the matrix, and "clef of dimension" have already been done LOL

Let the groundwork for the XI-XIV expansion begin.

Spoilers: Vana'diel dies.

One Matsui post they're adjusting racial hp/mp to close the gap between them, the adjustment is scheduled for march or later. Hp adjustment doesn't include galka, and mp adjustment doesn't include taru.

[Prothescar]

so we're getting the highest of both, then. nice. I expected middle of the road.

[Kincard]

All that means is that the highest won't get any higher, it's possible that there will still be a difference.

Great news for me and a couple others that don't want to leave their decade-old character behind because they keep getting one-shotted though.

[Byrthnoth]

Even just putting us all between Elvaan and Galka would be a huge improvement. LIKE LIKE LIKE.

[Alistrianna]

Means Elvaan is getting a HP spike too since only Galka is not affected lol. Yay for more HP on my MNK!

Is this supposed to mean that Galkas won't see their HP go down but only their mp go up, even if just slightly, and vice versa for Tarus?
Time to remove my MP merits yai!

[Lyramion]

At this point of the game... fuck racial differences. Should just make a quest where you study books to raise MP or lift like a bro to raise HP up to a certain value.

[Sechs]

don't give them ideas!

[Treize Kordero]

Here's an idea SE can have... raise caps on merit categories like: attributes, combat skills, magic skills at the very least. Maybe give us 5 more points in Tier 1 and 2.

Maybe even allow us to save up to 50 merits.

[dasva]

Oh god no more getting 1 shotted just because I'm a taru. I likey

[Ophannus]

Can we get elvaan str and mnd, galka vit, mithra dex and ago and taru int too?

[Sechs]

With the amount of stats we're getting these days thanks to the statsvomit on ilevel gear, I'm not really sure 5 points of difference in a single stat can be considered a noticeable difference anymore.
Oh how have times changed!

As for the merit increase, it's the same. I would love higher caps, but at this point I'm not sure it would make such a huge difference as in the past. Same goes for weapon +skill. Getting +16acc/att is still good I guess, but it doesn't have as big of an impact as it used to have back in the days.
HP and MP merits should have been giving dynamic values. Like 1HP merit giving +20hp for tarus, and 1MP merit giving +20mp for Galkas and so on. But it's no use discussing this now since we're getting the stats homogeneization.


Call me a stubborn douche but I'm still whining for the 15 upgrades cap in the WS category. Even with the recent changes I'd still love being able to spend at least 5 more points there...

[Byrthnoth]

Can't uncap the merit system, guiz. That would reduce player uniqueness >^,^<

it is nice when the censuses come out and you see the idiots with, for example, 5/5 chakra recast or 5/5 iron will merits

Well at one point iron will served a purpose. It wasn't good but guardian was worse and chivalry only needed 1 merit. So 5/5ing it wasn't always as crapastic as the mnk example.

[NynJa]

Who uses pld and doesnt have an ochain?

[dasva]

I said at one time it wasn't as bad as it is now. Ie before brochain or even before aegis was easy to find
