Destiny's interview with dev team on TSG

[Lordwafik]

I guess SE thought it was time to reveal the secret to parade gorget :D

I dunno, I have a feeling it's more like "Nobody ever asked [the right person]" than it being so secret

[Lithiani]

I was thinking about that "the right NPC" thing the other day, I tried all the goblins in the shop, but I never did try that guy in Mhaura who is interested in the goblins junk.

[Miruka]

I think when JP's say "Relic" they mean AF2.

On a side note, when they say "AF2" they mean the level 52 quest.

[Stilgar]

On that blog, there's some information under the heading 'talk session one':

今後のバージョンアップで追加される新要素
「大人数バトルエリア」

アサルト・ビシージ・デュナミスに続く大人数バトルエリア

４つのエリアを追加。
アライアンス規模。１８人。
チームワークや戦術が試されるようなつくりになっている。
攻略を練って進んでいかないとならないようなロジカルなエリア。
プレイヤーが入った時点でいろんな能力を奪われてしまう。
魔法が使えなかったり、WSが打てなかったり…

The update after next, they're going to release TAU's large-man raid system (dynamis, limbus style). There are 4 areas (remnants no doubt), meant for an 18 person alliance. They are being made to require teamwork and strategy. You have to have a plan. When you enter you may not be able to use magic or WS (oh god not this shit again).

This could be a server by server thing, but on mine, JPs use Relic to mean relic weapons or the shield. AF2 is used for relic armor pieces. Reading the blog, though, it's really not clear what they mean. Since it's mentioned with abjurations, I'd lean toward the armors, though.

[Kurp]

When you enter you may not be able to use magic or WS (oh god not this shit again).

Lame. Honestly, how hard would it be to design encounters that don't revolve around completely nerfing people?

[Lordwafik]

It's hardly different than xp'ing in caedvera mire on imps, you're silenced and amnesia'd the whole time, you do nothing but auto-attack Wooooo!

I doubt it'll be super stupid though, it'll make use of all the potions / ethers, and if it's anything like dynamis, the lockouts arent permanent.


But yeah I do agree, I prefer a real challenge (monster with a new style of attacks) as opposed to an artificial challenge (same mob, just no subjob or whatever crap).

Found this on photo II FFXI image board, cant tell for sure if it's for FFXI, but it was in the thread about the dev conference, and that looks alot like the ponds out at Wajoam.


Could we finally see the "Toad" and "Confuse" spells in the game? They've been in the .dat forever, i'd love to see them implemented. Just imagine when you're confused and attack everything at random! Bannings all round from the fresh batch of GMs!

But anyway, I'm more interested to know if it's real/fake, if it's real, I wanna know if they're a new beastman race , because 1 of them is holding a staff like a mage, 1 of them is just sitting like an idle frog, without a staff or anything, really weird.

It kinda looks like the frog with the staff is the master, and the other one is the pet/puppet. However it just might be a new mission NPC, /shrug.

[Norelco]

If that isn't Wajoam I don't know what is.

[Jeveh]

Thats the Frog Prince NM, you have to have a female of the same race /kiss him 1000 times before his minions maul you, then he drops a relic weapon.

Really though it does look alot like Wajoam, but that frog looks kinda NPCish with the hat and all.

Stealing Miruka's translation.

MC：レリック・免罪符の入手チャンスは増えないのでしょうか
MC: Will there be more opportunities to acquire relics and Abjurations?
松井：近いうちに免罪符のチャンスが増やす予定です。
レリックと同等クラスのものはアトルガンでも出していきますよ
Matsui: There are plans to increase chances at acquiring Abjurations in the near future.
Aht'Urhgan will have Relics and similar class items.

MC:エリアチェンジしてもフェローが消えないようになりませんか？またクエスト続編は？
MC: Will adjustments be made so that Fellows (NPCs) won't disappear when you change areas? Also, will there be continuations for the quests?
小川：エリアチェンジの件は、担当が前向きにがんばってますので。近いうちに対処されるかも？
フェロークエスト続編はアトルガンミッションが落ち着くまで難しそうです。
Ogawa: For the changing areas thing, people have been working on it from before, so perhaps we will see a patch soon?
Any continuation of the Fellowship quests will be difficult until the Aht'Urhgan missions are settled.

MC：パレードゴルゲットの入手方法は？
MC: How do you get the Parade Gorget?
松井：NMを出すには調理８０くらいで合成できるゴブリンドリンクが必要。
（ムバルポロス旧市街の？？？にトレードする）
ゴブリンドリンクは合成に８個材料が必要です。
ギサールの野菜とラテーヌキャベツとあと６こ。
のこりは明日明後日。皆さんも調べてみてください！
Matsui: To pop the NM, an approximately level 80 synth, Goblin Drink, is required.
(Trade it to a ??? in Oldton Movalpolos)
There are 8 ingredients for Goblin Drink.
Gysahl Greens and La Thiene Cabbage and 6 others.
The others will be revealed tomorrow and the day after. Please try looking them up!

[Matricide]

looks promising, nice to see someone who actually plays the game


wut

[Akiyama]

Someone with real information that doesn't include the phrase "I don't know" and "We'll see"? Wow. Lovely. XD Also.. if toads come part of the game, I wanna see a taru BLM get confused and run around smacking people with their staves only to get blown up by a Burst II. >.>; Okay, wishful thinking. I'll just let that happen again in Dynamis or something.

[Kurp]

It's hardly different than xp'ing in caedvera mire on imps, you're silenced and amnesia'd the whole time, you do nothing but auto-attack Wooooo!

Hopefully it's on the line of CoP dynamis. The no-subjob thing was a major restriction for the first couple runs, but it's nothing but a minor inconveinence now. Part of me isn't so optimistic though with the introduction of things like Hydra, Besieged, Colibri, and to a lesser extent Cerberus and their effect on BLM.

I suppose I'll hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

[Nighty]

So the whole interview was only 3 questions? Or there was more? I can't read japanese that is why i am asking. If there are more questions can someone translate?

About the relic that is great; however, I say they are talking about armor.

About Abjs. OMFGBBQWTFFINALLY

ninja edit: did anyone else notice that BC with shantotto?

[Demosthenes11]
