Famitsu Interview with FF developers

[Devek]

A level 90+ mob that isn't weak to Thunder should resist it.. not take 2000 damage and only get 10tp.

Black Mages are incredibly overpowered, and its scary how many of people don't "get" it.

[LD]

Read my whole quote.

On a neutral mob, yes, have them all the same.

Example : Fire Based mob

Takes 380 dmg from each t2 nuke for example,

Water (mob is weak to) will damage it for 418
Casting Fire on it will heal it for 380
Ice (mob is strong to) will dmg for only 342

+10%, -10%

I find this statement Ironic :

In otherwords you want every spell to be exactly the fucking same except the animation?

Because right now, we have the same spell, period. I'd be more than welcome to have someone casting stone and it doing good dmg.

That, plus it'd be nice if it were valid to have a preference if it doesn't come at the expense of effectiveness ('I want's ta use Fire cuz Wind is teh suck. %D')
IMO, spell damage adjustment and elemental weakness adjustment should come at the same time, as one would complement and justify the other.
Merits might actually become an exercise in individuality instead of dumping it all in Ice/Lightning Pote. & Freeze/Burst 2.

Of course, the foil to this is Ice Staff.
The only real way to deal with this would be to make elemental weaknesses far outweigh the added skill (which it might already :x) and possibly strengthen the magic resist of mobs weak to ice, which would makes sense, since Ice is connected to the INT stat.

Let me take a wild guess, you have 0-1 jobs at 75.

Answer the Question.

[aurik]

Dumbest idea ever.

As someone else pointed out already it doesn't suit progression, or would you have level 0 worms casting 120 damage Stone 1 spells, or level 1 BLM with 20 MP not able to cast their 37 MP Stone 1 spell?

The spells are balanced by MP. Thunder 4 is 171, Stone 4 is 138. If mobs have elemental resists that matter then smart BLM will use the right spells and outdamage the e-penis retards using Thundaga 3 all the time.

So scale the mp they cost? Boy that was hard to think of.

[spooky]

A level 90+ mob that isn't weak to Thunder should resist it.. not take 2000 damage and only get 10tp.
Black Mages are incredibly overpowered, and its scary how many of people don't "get" it.

Yeah because nuking for 2000 dmg on Faf won't get you killed in 2 seconds. :roll:
So you want BLM so suck in EXP AND HNM? wow that IS fair...
I love how they want to add mobs that what you can't manaburn? Yeah there are SOOOOOOOOO many places to manaburn, and very few BLMs. Also TPburn PTs have got it really hard atm, there is like no where for them to exp, so they clearly need more mobs!!! Of course we don't want any of those filthly BLMs going near them.
I know let's make a zone that only WAR NIN RDM and BRD can enter!!! And fill it with a fuckton of mobs that you can chain till the cows come home and give sick exp.

[Delekii]

Uh, yea this has been botherin' me for a while..


Flux, what job do youy play?

Let me take a wild guess, you have 0-1 jobs at 75.

Read my whole quote.

On a neutral mob, yes, have them all the same.

Dumbest idea ever.

As someone else pointed out already it doesn't suit progression, or would you have level 0 worms casting 120 damage Stone 1 spells, or level 1 BLM with 20 MP not able to cast their 37 MP Stone 1 spell?

The spells are balanced by MP. Thunder 4 is 171, Stone 4 is 138. If mobs have elemental resists that matter then smart BLM will use the right spells and outdamage the e-penis retards using Thundaga 3 all the time.

Bring all tiers down to close to their lowest base damage spell.

Firstly, all spells go up in damage from when you first get them - a level 0 worm does far, far less damage stone1 than a 75blm, ofcourse.

Secondly, and this is just the way I see it, that is half the point. The way I see it is kind of like Wafik, only far more severe differences.

Speaking, for example, about tier4. Currently with a fully merited etc etc blm, a thunder4 does about 1300 damage, while a stone4 which wont be merited does what... 700?

Bring the entire tier4 range to a base damage of about 800 - that is, unmerited but with gear, on a regular mob, a neutral element spell will do around 800 damage, for an mp cost of around a fire4. But, depending on strong and weak elements, that amount will be greatly affected. Taking a crab for example, they are weak to Thunder and Blizzard, strong against fire, and water based. They might take say, 180% damage from thunder (bringing the damage up to over 1440), 150% from blizzard (around 1200), but take just 60% damage from fire spells (480), and are healed 100% by water spells (healed 800). All other neutral elements would do the base 800, so while they would be better than the weak elements, they are still vastly inferior to the strong ones.

In the scheme of things, this does not change the overall power of BLMs - it possibly slightly increases the mp efficiency of GOOD blms. It would, however, make the magic system far more interesting in my opinion. On a fight like fafnir, you would probably see a whole lot more water, and a whole lot less thunder, meaning that blms who merit water would shine, and the same for Tiamat. However those same blms wont have thunder merited, thunder blms are genbu's domain. Other blms again will merit wind and shine on kirin and ouryu, but they wont be able to touch blizzard blms when it comes to ks99 or seiryu.. etc.

[Devek]

Also TPburn PTs have got it really hard atm, there is like no where for them to exp, so they clearly need more mobs!!! Of course we don't want any of those filthly BLMs going near them.
I know let's make a zone that only WAR NIN RDM and BRD can enter!!! And fill it with a fuckton of mobs that you can chain till the cows come home and give sick exp.

So you're saying people invite war, nin, rdm, and brd to HNMLS so they can get experience points?

[spooky]

Maybe if you were retarded and can't read, then yeah, I'm saying that.

[Stilgar]

adding more thunder-resistant mobs

Another example of SE's ineffectual attempts problem-solving.

I like Wafik's idea. And what Nynja said, too. Have all spells of the same tier behave the same way on a totally neutral mob (of which there are actually very few), but really play up elemental weaknesses and resistances. Basically what Wafik and Nynja said.

[spooky]

I thought they wanted to make BLM MORE appealing to standard PTs, so far I have 0 evidence of them doing anything for this. I think they will just keep taking a crap on BLM, until 80% of them quit, and then finally their stupid little yearly chart thing will balance out. whoooooooo

[Khamsin]

I thought they wanted to make BLM MORE appealing to standard PTs, so far I have 0 evidence of them doing anything for this. I think they will just keep taking a crap on BLM, until 80% of them quit, and then finally their stupid little yearly chart thing will balance out. whoooooooo

Maybe they meant make BLM MORE appealing in standard parties (than HNM alliances). If they keep adding more magic-resistant HNMs, eventually BLM will be more appealing in standard parties than they are for HNMs!

... T_T Yeah that sounds about right for SE.

[Isiolia]

BLM pretty much isn't gonna get more XP invites unless they get party buffs or something. Like, a series of nukes or a property to MBs that for a set time after the spell goes off melee hits all have a decent added effect go off. I think a TP burn would be more than happy to invite a BLM if a Thunder III at the start gave them all +20 or +30 added effect damage for 30 seconds. (as an example, could be a trait for BLM or a different spell series to avoid RDMs using this for solo).

Or debuffs to cast that make melee hits do things like Drain or absorb stats. DRKs would probably whine, but what else is new?

Notably too, these kinds of things would be worthless for manaburns or soloing >_>

[Kerberoz]

WAR/NIN: "BLMs are overpowered on HNMs! Nerf!"
*Limit Chain 170: 250 limit points*
WAR/NIN: "Yeah and those manaburns need to stop, they're totally not fair. I mean they get a bunch of the same job together and kill the mob without taking much damage. That's hax!"
*Limit Chain 171: 180 limit points*
*Limit Chain 172: 230 limit points*
WAR/NIN: "I already have all my HNM gear. BLMs are"
*Limit Chain 173: 170 limit points*

We have a winner!

I swear every fucking melee who said "Manaburns are overpowered" and now join TP burns np are the biggest fucking hypocrites ever.

[spooky]

Lordwafik is a man of truth.

[Jpeg]

Aurik, the elemental weakness chart does show that non-typical xp mobs have other weaknesses, however overall statistical facts which I prepared using the chart... are not suprising.

This is all mob types on the chart, not just xp or non-xp mobs

28% weak to Lightning
26.3% weak to Ice
26.3% weak to Light (Banish FTW)
24.5% weak to Fire
14% weak to Wind
14% weak to Dark
12.3% weak to Water
5.2% weak to Earth

and, uh 14% of mob types are weak to both Ice and Lightning...

What was SE thinking? This isnt balanced at all >.>

[levish]

There's around 15 pages worth of dialog on that interview, i wonder if there's anything new in there.

only a few more days till the update

here's the googletranslation

before this thread got splendidly derailed I thought the Op might have something interesting

Here's the almost useless google translation of the page with some attempts at fixing almost 17 pages of text

9/29 (the gold) weekly [huami] which is sold and [huami] in PS2,
The interview article was published.

This time, also the contents which it cannot us convey with the page including,
Collecting all sentence when interviewing, we release.

* In regard to Chocobo rearing

It is ?? Chocobo rearing, but already the child of everyone “inside [kawaii]!”With saying, you do not transfer, it is.

Fujito thank you. Everyone, being reared, it increases?

The ?? of course is!?Will echo of the venture person of every place how probably be?

Because it made Fujito Mikuni disperse, that it is to think whether it is not not to be congested so, but even unexpectedly many people getting together, ....... You had disdained a little. You think as the kana which is good increasing access point already a little.

For example, it can grow the egg of ?? Chocobo, even with the sub character of level 1, it is probably will be?

As for Fujito it is, is possible. Simply the egg .......

?? lowest being, unless you must go to [jiyuno], it is with the shank.
* Editorial staff note) as for egg of Chocobo child [misura] of garden of [ru] [rude], Dabih Jajalioh with approximately 1045 gills in the midst of sale.

As for Fujito it is. That even the minimum necessary wall you say, or just there will persevere and probably will procure. If only the egg it procures, it is the expectation which you can raise freely.

As for process of growth of ?? Chocobo, becoming first the egg and the poult, becoming child Chocobo, with the notion that where the shank after that it becomes the adult?

Don't you think? Fujito so is.

In type of egg which the ?? first is used, do color and growth process and rearing period etc of the feather change?
* Editorial staff note) the egg of Chocobo exists, 5 types item description is warm with it can distinguish. Warmly as for extent, slightly, the [ho] it is the [wa], barely, rather (the BF trophy of the book of imperial national military white), little bit (the BF trophy of the book of imperial national military black).

As for Fujito length without changing, the shank. Rearing period being the same basically, you do not know whether content how is. The egg which enters into the hand with BF, is also procurement degree of difficulty to be and, you think a some good element that we would like to acquire. However, unless that it is, there is no useless without fail, when on the other hand the egg which is bought at the store is better, it is, probably will be. When we would like to include the expectation, kana which the good egg can take, the person that with BF, it perseveres with breeding, you buying normally from [misura], thinks that it does not care.

When it is the ?? good egg, it means that ability of Chocobo is high?

Fujito that is secret.

Is color of the ?? feather, being decided at stage of the egg, probably [ru]??Or it probably is to change at the stage which it keeps growing?

You cannot call Fujito details, but, the element which decides color increases having from state of the egg. Simply, because there are also times when, it can change that midway, it is not the case that everything is decided there.

The ?? the delicate change [tsu] [te] of the eye which was seen as for the fact that you say it is some, it is probably will be?

It is to touch even with information of Fujito version upgrade, but because it is the item which waives with the latest version upgrade, if in the future you can expect.

?? my Chocobo, the just a little hair becoming white, you think as the [ru], it is, but it probably is consequence of the air?

It probably is consequence of the Fujito air!?It probably is the appearance of love or, (laughing).

Also does Chocobo of the type which is announced with the official sight of time before the ?? come out, in the future?
* Reference link) about Chocobo

It is not the case that the kind of Fujito appears that way.

It probably is the ?? conceptual feeling?

Don't you think? Fujito so is. It means that black Chocobo is death thoria kind, but when it has that blood, power is strong, it is the case that those where sometimes the feather is black are born.

Is the ?? basis probably yellow?

The fujito basis after all with yellow the shank. Default rather than, because it is color of Chocobo which most has been adapted to [vuana] [deiru], you think that yellow becomes most.

When you breed with Chocobo of the ?? then black and black, by all means it becomes black?

There is a Fujito possibility.

The possibility of becoming ?? yellow?

Fujito of course, there is also the possibility. Simply, setting to content various types, increasing, a certain law existing, it increases that. Please study biology by all means (laughing).

As for the ??, when hint is hidden in biology?

As for Fujito it is. It is related.

?? cold pulling it is and the [chi] [ya] [tsu] is the time, ability it echoes?

Fujito everyday life in the rearing plan which has done, it means that the decision such as success and the failure is done, but it has an influence on that one. If it cures, it extends largely, probably will be, but failing, it is not the case that it goes down. Because even then it extends, because cold it pulled, saying, if it does not give, go being the wild grass of [tokopetsuko], it is not reason. Because among the poults however the paste it increases as a private feed coming out, that effect is only among the poults, you think that there is an effect of that appearance. It does not increase at all and the [te] ability extends, but the person who raises rearing plan accurately keeps being brought up, in good Chocobo, probably will be.

However also ?? plan so is, also it is important to go to seeing, don't you think?.

Fujito of course is.

[debuchiyokobo] how probably will be at the ?? place?

As for Fujito them deca- it is to be with, just a little ......(Laughing).

Please make reset to the topic of the ?? egg. Presently there is an egg of 5 types, but is there the schedule which in the future increases?

If you can think that Fujito in just 5 types, content changes basically from there.

That the ?? you do not try opening, with the [tsu] lever which does not know that you do not see the shank.

Please think with such paste of Fujito.

As for those which are taken with ??BF, when the probability which hits it is good .......

It seems like the Fujito surprise box, perhaps, something it is, don't you think?.

Is there a possibility of trying to be able to rear with ?? [moguhausu]?

It is rearing with Fujito [moguhausu] to examine, but because that place specification is special, when the element is inserted other than [moguri], there is a rather harsh circumstance, it is. Because you saw with [moguhausu] and the [re] [re], being able to verify alone, it is the case that either the fact that it is packed it is not, but you were difficult in the specification aspect, you waived.

Are there some kind of ones in the ability which can acquire ?? Chocobo?

Fujito “it pokes and digs and " and " scoops and digs and " with there is an ability which was said. When you remember that, the item which is different somewhat in excavation of Chocobo probably will be can take.

It is ?? in addition to?

Opinion is collected even with the Fujito premium sight, but having with race/lace, the [ru] and it is effective and/or, also such ones are introduction schedule.
* Reference link) 'FFXI' premium sight

The ?? it is proud, is Chocobo of race/lace specification, to dig, it is the side which raises it probably is the feeling which it keeps controlling?

Don't you think? Fujito so is, because the almighty it cannot make Chocobo, if you specialize, as for ability you think that it is inclined.

The ?? Chocobo which is called about some minute the horseman power is possible?

It changes with the Fujito raising.

The ?? you can take Chocobo which it retires, up to several?

When Fujito it retires, you can receive the item which records the information of the Chocobo. With that the [re], to call the register and, can also be possible with anytime make the object of breeding. Because is, it can possess just a quantity which can have that item, don't you think?.

?? that " is to be, the [ji] the thing " isn't?

As for Fujito it is, it is the usual item. How many it has, content of the safe please consult.

Not only ?? breeding, if the call register is done, it can ride with anytime?

As for Fujito it is, can ride. If it has, as the original copy also breeding is possible and, also it is possible to ride.

The ?? the area which can be called is to think that it is field, but for example presently, it probably is to be able to call with the basket covered and so on field which cannot be penetrated?

But you cannot call Fujito concrete thing, it cannot call the place where Chocobo dislikes at least, probably will be. Please try trying by all means.

It is [chiyokoboresu] of the schedule which ?? in the future is added, but in order to participate, it is necessary to raise Chocobo?

When you would like to participate Fujito your own Chocobo, it is necessary to raise. Simply, in order for the person whom you have not raised to be able to participate with the gamble element, it is advancing. For example, because his own friend participates, receiving participation right, you observe and/or, examine also such element.

Because with the ??, as for participation itself it is free, the shank.

Fujito, it examines as much as possible with the direction. But because it is the matter which is in the midst of collecting with the premium sight, it is not the case that it is decisive still. At least, because you have not raised Chocobo, there is no intention of making the contents that altogether it is not relationship.

When acquiring name to ?? Chocobo, it is the case that it combines two words, but how doing, you thought, this system it is?

When Fujito breeding is repeated, many keep raising by your, you think that favorite name is limited, it is. Because it is the case that with alphabet, from among those it is chosen basically. Then, the variation probably will be increased by the fact that it combines you thought that two. To tell the truth, the occasion where name is ordered the request stripe inhaling to in 512 types, it is to convey, but the opinion of additional margin more from the localizing team emerging, ....... Because also letter restriction exists, it is difficult with conveying, it is to have agreeing upon, but during that letter restriction in [purekishiburu], the order coming whether you cannot insert the kind of choices where the number of letters completes properly. As a result, it is the case that it has become that kind of shape.

The type which inputs ?? name directly is difficult after all, probably will be?

Fujito first it is that to examine, but whether or not name in direct input case, ethical all right, the check becomes difficult. Because either it is not desirable for trouble of disagreeable name with [sekuhara] etc to happen. When it makes the type which it inputs, when 1 characters are made, because it means the same thing, it means that it is difficult to prepare the big mechanism for Chocobo rearing, to there.

Is ?? [chiyokoboresu] done somewhere?

Whether among those of Fujito, it announces with TGS, .......
* Reference link) talk session 2nd time (there is an image of the [chiyokoboresu] place)

The ?? lastly, one you ask to the people of the venture person densely distantly.

Fujito Chocobo rearing information of development (the user participation type community like the present premium sight) with was the element which is arrested several years ago. With topic of the Chocobo digging, receiving demand from everyone of the user, it is the plan which starts. It becomes private story, but because it is something which adopts the voice of the people of the user, we would like to keep making opinion reflect positively. If here just a little it is difficult to do when, already making just a little such Chocobo, can talk the varieties and dream, as for that as much as possible you would like to correspond with your own one, you think that is. Because is, you showing the way of the doting parent, “such a Chocobo calls there!”With you can move aside the opinion which is said and would like to be.


* In regard to the system

The ?? continuing, please can point to the battle & job-related question. First, you think that you took a second look the power of the trench knife, however it is, please teach the details which are modified largely.

It is the second look for the right generation thief. As for the job, thief color it is, being the case that it can do thing, when battle of the party that we would like to try becomes smoother, depending upon the movement of the thief it is. It was in the tendency where in the past being the opposite, the person around controls hostility heart because the thief moves well, stands and adjusts position. Then, that you thought, finished to step on to strengthening the trench knife it should have reworked somewhere. Also the part where D value is lowest becoming the problem, because there was the [ru] feeling.

Method of rising the ??D value is not fixed, it is different individually rather, but as for there are the other additional effect and interval related?

Right it can replace. After, it considers [rearitei] of the weapon, with the shank.

D value of the ?? other weapon changes, is there a possibility interval changing?

The matsui one hand sword and the knife [tsu] [te], rather many types have appeared, it is with the shank. When something wanting the new element and we would like to adjust becoming, when thinking, it had tried to keep adding new ones, but it put in a state where the trench knife which with special care is in large quantities cannot be used and the thinking that it was [chi] [ya] [u] is not the ? body. In addition, but especially procurement serious concerning those which excessively is not great thing, there is a feeling which we would like to adjust the better seed.

Is there a weapon which has an eye on ?? other things?

Right generation you think of course, but it cannot refer yet.

Matsui D value to be, because the [ji] [tsu] [chi] [ya] it influences uninformed entirely, having tried to adjust with other ones, it is the circumstance which you cannot fumble at least yet in regard to the [ru] weapon. If the method which adds new ones is more pleasant, there is also the thought whether it is to call there is no that one.

Is there the schedule which ?? in the future increases the upper limit of total value of the merit point?

It does not plan the fact that, the upper limit of the 1 performance figures such as right generation weapon skill and magical skill is increased, for the present. Perhaps But it pulls up the upper limit of category.

It is the merit point every of ?? job, but is there the schedule which increases the upper limit of group 2 to 5 stages?

Right generation in order to be able to increase, it makes, but mounting is undecided.

Unless it is suitable special circumstance, in regard to the cumulative magical tolerance which before the ?? is introduced, discernibly, it is to think that it is the range which is not understood, but are there times when in the future it is adjusted?

First there was a story that the Matsui in the first place black demon corps is strong. When it becomes coping of the magic for the monster, this time black magic enters completely unless, such circumstance and being the case that fear it is done, unless the circumstance where it becomes not completely be able to participate the black demon Taoist you avoid it cannot go. Therefore, somehow, thinking as the kana which cannot do the correction which designates just the many black mage as the target it mounted. When the black demon Taoist is one person and the cover [ri], first there is no influence. If it can have thinking, that in just the black demon corps, is correction vis-a-vis when it pushes down the enemy simply, with. You think that the person who is characterized by the fact that such quality is shown strongly in the future vis-a-vis the monster which is added, is present. Furthermore, there is no intention of making such tolerance strong concerning the existing usual monster.

There are some where ?? presently numerical value does not appear in status such as on-target hit and evasion, but it probably is why not to be indicated?

As for the menu screen which has come out with [zurazura] as a Matsui all numerical value, after all dull kana. Is not the case that margin and that number that way connect directly to the damage in attack power if and, is original attack power, the skill which it is related rises, it is the case that it is found that also power rises. If that it is, that in the first place it does not need it is not, or probably will keep squeezing simply. In regard to layout of the picture, about attack power and defensive power the one which is to be, calling, because there was a story which you say, as for here in regard to circumstances of the menu the shank. In addition, if it has the weapon which uses the skill which is different with the right hand and the left hand, another attack power is calculated respectively. Inside, including remoteness, being the case that three attack powers are attached, on-target hit ratio there are 3 types in each one. When it tries probably to put out entirely in such way, becoming the shape which does not have point, because the surface growing light decreases, have tried not to put out excessively.

When eating ?? cooking, something changed, it is the place where it is harsh not to know. When it is internal numerical value, because you cannot verify easily, .......

Don't you think? Matsui so is. In regard to the cooking effect the thing kana which how is done (laughing). If it does not change in bodily sensation, because it is the effect. For example, if 5 percent it is different, as for that it is made to understand after all, because it seems that, you can keep finding effective ones, you think. But, when it becomes so, because this time the meal system becomes difficult to know, it publishes numerical value early concerning the meal effect, has made the [chi] [ya] [u] way. Is after, in regard to the item, but being that much effect truly in regard to those which come out with [potsu] at higher rank without at all??If with it can have doubting, with you think.

Being the case that trial and error we are wanted trying doing, in regard to the item which was inserted in the ?? hand the shank.

Don't you think? Matsui so is. There is also such pleasure and, on the other hand it spreads rather on the net, there is also a part which has expected the fact that it is it is not and serving says.


* In regard to job

Special defensive power down of tomahawk of ?? soldier?

The effect which has been attached to right generation [banishiyu], lowers the physical attack tolerance of specification substantially basically it is the same. [banishiyu] is effective in un only dead, but the tomahawk is an effect even in the other enemy.

?? which it is lowered?

Right generation the numerical value which is lowered is evenness, but when about which it is said, being harsh, the shank.

Because it has gone from the harmony of defensive power and special defensive power of Matsui damage calculation itself and the element, you cannot say at all. If you use in the partner whose special defensive power is higher than defensive power, you can expect the big damage probably is. When conversely, it is the partner whose originally defensive power is high, you think that it is difficult to know.

Is there an effect in regard to ?? spirit magic?

Right generation say, it is not.

It is with the ?? physical type [tsu] lever?

Don't you think? right generation so is.

?? presently, it means that the soldier of [sapo] patience is popularity, but how you think this circumstance?

It is not the case that the right generation [sapo] patience soldier is special. Because there are times when the varieties it has been about probably to do, please have watched over a little.

Please teach, [deia] III of the ?? red mage, [surou] II and para is II, brine II, biology III, concerning Phalanx II. They are these superior weak body magic, but it probably is how to be strengthened concretely?

When it is right generation para is II, para the probability which compared to is paralysed has risen.

When it is Matsui [surou] II, the hay strike is superscribed. The enemy using the hay strike, don't you think? there is also an advantage where it cannot superscribe. The strategy which superscribes [surou] in the hay strike is famous, but it becomes possible to insert [surou] II, the hay strike vis-a-vis the enemy which was applied.

Depending upon the right generation enemy, however it superscribes with strong hay strike skill and the [chi] [ya] [u] person is, don't you think? basically so is.

In regard to ?? resist ratio how probably will be?

When it is right generation 1st stage, the resist it is easy to be done from subordinate magic, is.

When it is the ??1 gradual eye, still it probably means that para is one is good?

In regard to right generation on-target hit, with it means saying. Para II one winning effectively, is completely it increases.

?? [deia] III, biology as for four magic other than III and Phalanx II, when they are 1 stages, when there is a possibility of losing.

As for the right generation effect winning, however it increases, as for on-target hit it loses.

With the ??, you specialize in [surou], para should have specialized is and it probably is feeling?

Squeezing to right generation one, unless with the person whom it strengthens and the person whom you acquire entirely you must acquire difference it is reason. When keeps lifting with just the adjustment with percent, because the width which is lifted it is small, becoming the balance which includes on-target hit, it increases.

Isn't [banishiyu] IV and holly II added to the ?? white demon Taoist?

You were possible and served and thought right generation at the beginning, to add those like holly II in white. If so, such element is added, the one which is different more, is not the merit point is to call thinking as the kana which is not, being able to meet, you removed.

Being the ?? separate, as for the possibility of adding thinking, the [ru].

Is not the stage which right generation for the present, still story it is possible, but .......

As for II system of ancient magic of the ?? black demon Taoist, in the same way as the story some time ago of the red mage, immediately after the acquiring magical on-target hit ratio being low, is power itself probably to be stronger than subordinate position?

Don't you think? right generation so is. Power is strong, is.

Whenever it keeps shaking the ?? point, when, power and on-target hit keep rising.

When it is this ancient times II of right generation, power at the time of magic bursting keeps rising.

Is ?? ancient times II 6 type all same powers?

As for right generation it is. Other than of attribute completely is the same.

With ?? bursting II and with [kueiku] II .......

It is the right generation same.

Because Matsui subordinate ancient times acquisition level is different, also power changes, however it is, if it can have using properly ancient times II with attribute, with.

It is to think that turns of ?? earth attribute magic are few, but, are there kind of times when in the future attention are received?

When the matsui thunder [tsu] [po] it is and the monster of design is added, don't you think? it participates probably will be, (laughing).

Does the evasion ratio down with [hueinto] of the ?? thief go down which extent?

Right generation detailed numerical value you cannot say, but dropping with [dokan] temporarily, it has become the kind of mechanism where that returns gradually.

It means that level of the pet which is called with [bisutoahunitei] of ?? animal errand rises, but as for this it probably means that which is raised totally?

Calling at right generation level, 75 it is the case that the pet which does not come out is in only state of level 65, but by the fact that it keeps shaking the point, level of such people keeps rising.

Upper limit level of the pet having been decided in every Matsui call item, that it is the case that it becomes the circumstance which is just a little width in your own level, but it called and also the feeling where the choices of the pet are few met, are with, those which increase the upper limit were added. Simply, when you do too excessively, there is no feature every of pet, it is with, this time, whether you will look at circumstances in such way, that.

When the ?? by the way, 1 points it shakes, no level it rises?

It is 2 level with the right generation 1 point.

As for the ??, when 3 points it shakes, 6 level being the case that it rises, the shank.

Don't you think? right generation so is. As for the pet where level 65 is the upper limit, 3 points it reaches the point where by the fact that it shakes it can call in state of level 71. However, it calls and there are no times when the pet exceeds the level of the user. For example, the person of level 75 calling, it is not the case that the pet of level 81 comes out.

It is strengthening ?? [hueraruhauru], but is this probably only time shortening?

Because right generation on-target hit has originally good numerical value, with only shortening the use interval the shank.

Is the killer effect of ??K. instinct, when making the pet and the pet fight, the same effect?

Right generation this is the same as the ability of the holly circle and the like.

It is related to the pet which the animal errand which used Matsui that has worked. If animal errand calls the lizard, there is an effect which it makes shrink vis-a-vis those where the lizard is strong.

Please teach the circumstances which [abuzotatsuku] are added to the ?? dark horseman.

It added to the dark horseman with right generation absorption system. You use [abuzo] system excessively and having the image that the selfishness is not good, at one of the reasons the shank. With the skill where is useful attack Mori both both, it can decrease also TP of the enemy and, it is the convenient magic that it can increase also this TP. Now, the quantity which just a little is inhaled saying, the multi being said, now the shank.

The [tsu] [te] which lowers TP of the ?? enemy, grants by your the concept itself which is said as for being added to the dark horseman?

Right generation that already inhaling what, thinking that it can there be only a dark horseman.

Is on-target hit ratio rise of ?? [deiaborikuai] probably effect how much?

It is the effect which is better than the protection sign and the optical hat of the right generation peafowl.

As for hostility heart down effect of stealth shot of ?? hunter?

The right generation thinking [tsu] drill it goes down.

As for the hostility heart effective rise the ?? conversely with [huratsushishiyotsuto]?

As for right generation hostility heart rise itself there is no great thing. Simply, because the damage is produced, with the feeling which rises after all that much the shank.

Matsui in the first place, hostility heart rises rather in the damage of remoteness attack. As for ?? level difference revision cutting? If level of the right generation enemy is high, the high extent effect is huge, is. The ?? thinking simply, it is possible to think, that level of the enemy goes down to the same strength, probably will be? Matsui image with such feeling the shank. However, because the fact that it lowers is just level, in regard to other ability that way is. Just in regard to the revision with level, it means making the same strength. As for the reason which mazurka of [raputoru] of the ?? wandering minstrel is added? Also the fact that it is, you can use with right generation [sapo], but because at the time of level of that extent we wanted the element little bit other than fighting, it added. Is ?? drift speed about which probably to become fast? With about the same as right generation strike rider boots and the like shank. As for correct correct boldly attack power bonus of ?? samurai? The matsui Masashi righteousness boldly concerning just a little we would like to take a second look. However the morale boost which distributes ??TP was added, it thought is that it reaches the point where with the samurai it can decrease and/or say TP of the enemy? When as for the right generation samurai in the first place, there is no merit point and wants to adjust [te] just a little fundamental thing with the thing ....... Now above this you cannot talk, but already please look at circumstances a little. It probably is to be a possibility of adjusting the ?? samurai largely? When it is the adjustment by the Matsui merit point, because it is reflected on only the person of level 75 by any means, correction is through the whole the subject which it is not and serving says has come up. The ?? having expected, with excuse the shank. Matsui it can obtain. Please do not abandon (laughing). Is the defensive power down effect of [angon] of the ?? dragon horseman probably the effect which lowers defensive power purely? Don't you think? right generation so is. ?? acid volt/bolt compared to it probably is strengthening? Right generation decisively it is powerful. As for breath of flying dragon with ?? deep breathing effect how much? It is the specification like sign of right generation spirit and sign of goddess. The recovery quantity of the heel breath reaches 2 times. However it is skill of fulfillment of the merit point of the ?? summons loyal retainer, power holds down and it is to be the feeling which is the eye but. Right generation just a little you hold down and are viewed to. When in the same way as ?? magic, 3 stages it lifts, it keeps becoming strong? It keeps becoming strong in that appearance of right generation. Originally, when on-target hit ratio is good, to a summons with the skill which the [tsu] [te] which hits unusually even at long distance you say, considers the aspect of ease of use the shank. Simply the damage putting out [tsu] temporary, is not the summons loyal retainer and being the case that hostility heart goes to the summons animal. On the basis of such aspect, on-target hit it improves and/or with it has made strengthening which was said. There is a cost of maintenance 0 of summons spirit of ?? category 1 but, vis-a-vis the summons animal? Right generation as for decreasing the cost of maintenance above this being harsh, the shank. When being day of the week or the weather even now, there is no cost of maintenance and the [tsu] [chi] [ya] is when and, [rihureshiyu] is received, there are also times when cost of maintenance is reversed.

Matsui fishing directly, when it produces the summons animal, because there was also a kind of case which the summons animal pushes down selfishly, there is a part, kana which just a little you did too much. So, paying cost of maintenance, the [ru] impression, well good kana (laughing). The summons loyal retainer if it exceeds level 70, becomes strong job, but you think that already just a little we would like to adjust to with before that. Please do not abandon also the summons loyal retainer. * Does ?? blue magical skill relate to some element concerning the blue demon Taoist? Power of right generation blue magic, shank with such as on-target hit and probability of learning. Motion ratio of the ?? additional effect, for example it relates to also the motion ratio of the stun of the head bat? There of right generation is secret, (laughing). As for blue magic of ?? physical type, as for on-target hit ratio it rises with equipment of on-target hit + effect? As for right generation it is. When ?? attack power is increased, it has an influence on also power? Right generation well, it is not done. With the ??, as for the influence by the equipment only on-target hit? Right generation so is. As for on-target hit ratio of blue magic of ?? physical type it is the case that it depends on the weapon of main, but it is discriminatory things such as [sapo] blue and blue of main? Right generation power itself depends on blue magical skill. The occasion where the ?? blue chain was used, does power of physical blue magic rise? As for right generation it is, rises. In regard to ?? on-target hit? Don't you think? it depends on right generation ones. When on-target hit rises with TP revision, those which are written rise. With the ??, when power rise itself depends on every skill. Right generation is power rise catches entirely. Furthermore it becomes strong TP damage revision concerning those which are written. In regard to the magical type blue magic of ?? part, it is to be some whose consumption MP is many extremely, but is there the schedule which is adjusted? Thinking of the right generation using selfishness, unless you must keep adjusting with the thing you think that. But don't you think?, because range skill and the like is at such as battlefield is useful extremely those where well enough, unless there you must note. For example, because the enemy in the circumstance which plural is, can apply on the whole bind. * Editorial staff note) as for explosion bullet in range bind effect. ?? be too strong way with [tsu] lever shank. Don't you think? right generation so is. It is the effect of ?? blue bursting, but is this on-target hit rise? Also right generation power rises. Blue magic of ?? breath type does power rise in the same way? Don't you think? power of right generation breath type does not rise. When it has related to ?? on-target hit ratio. If right generation on-target hit ratio does not burst the magic basically, it does not rise. Blue bursting is used with the scene which is not ?? magic bursting and relationship, blue magic of magical type is applied, power just strengthens somewhat with the [tsu] lever the shank. As for right generation it is. ?? in the future, is there the schedule which adds blue magic? There is a right generation. Normally 1 recovery systems, we want such as under the magic fruit, the shank. About [kearu] 2.5. Of course, you think in addition to that. It means that the monster which is not the skill which ?? now can be acquired is, but is the skill which in the future is remembered newly from that monster supposed? There is schedule in regard to the monster which is in right generation normal field. Simply, because the enemy like HNM it is not the case that it is chance in everybody, being able to meet, you are not inserting.

The ?? from the usual enemy which basically, appears in field learning with the direction which it keeps doing the shank. Like right generation or BF, the place where it keeps gathering everyone. When it is something where there is a chance which is remembered at such place, perhaps it is possible to try thinking. " Does monster correlation rise " of the head of ??AF become some kind of effect? Right generation originally it is to be a correlation in blue magic, but that furthermore is strengthened. It becomes the ?? conversely, weak? It does not become right generation weak. Just advantage raises. The learning probability rise [tsu] [te] of the ?? arm is what you say probably which extent? You cannot call right generation concrete thing, but rising rather, it increases. Blue dragon sword and [rideiru] of the ?? tune sword cannot equip the blue demon Taoist, but as for this something the reason? That it becomes the strongest equipment of the job whose those which right generation already exist are new whether unnatural it has removed thinking. It can make the weapon which exceeds [rideiru] in other things whether or not don't you think?, it is necessary to think. Because in the future it is the job which keeps being adjusted on occasion, perhaps, that one hand sword which is better than presently comes out it is, don't you think? is. Image of the ?? present blue demon Taoist appearing in before, is to be the feeling which fights, but. It changes with right generation circumstance being possible after you think the varieties to be, with the person. Now certainly, appearing in before, beating, the [ru] person being many, the shank. * Concerning the Corsair please teach concerning the relation of the ?? Corsair. Is there a schedule [tsu] [te] which the phantom roll newly is added? There is right generation schedule. Still, story it is not possible contents, however is. As for the quick draw effective rise which is the head of ??AF? Right generation the damage rises basically. As for positioning in ?? party game? The right generation basis is support job, but is a time when it can move freely has tried to become many. That it keeps being adjusted by the base, probably will be. When at the ?? place, the bust doing, it means that the air where 6 is easy to come out does but. Right generation well, there is no such a thing. ?? I doing, the [ru] finishing, 6 later double raises it feels mainly that 6 comes out, it is. Is the eye which comes out probably to be luck completely??2 there is 6 ....... There is no such of Matsui, (laughing). With luck shank. Probability of the eye where the roll and double rise come out is the same. It is ?? lucky number and unlucky number, but it has reached most same numerical values in regard to those which are thought that it is easy to use mainly in the party game, it is. Is this probably intend ones? As for lucky number of the roll right generation it may use frequently, it is made 5. When 5 comes out, already one time it stops wanting to shake it is not, is? So in order to become, it is made. * It is the case that weapon skill in ?? all the jobs is lowest concerning the mechanism loyal retainer, but something there is no relief measure? When there is approximately a Matsui weapon skill, fight just that the [chi] [ya] bearing, it does. When entering into the party, because when “as for the automaton not calling,” you want to avoid the [tsu] [te] saying [chi] [ya] [u] situation. It makes with the concept which it is may be is not and applying says the mechanism loyal retainer itself being weak rather. In addition, there are also times when the method which begins the correction of the future from some weakening is easier. Because it is the job which is easy to produce also the bonus item, also such aspect being, you make start from low state. If we assume that the ?? it strengthens, it probably is the feeling which makes the automaton strong? Becoming strong with the Matsui mutton, and set the [tsu] [te] we would like to receive, when is. The equipment which the ?? mechanism loyal retainer itself can equip demon Taoist direction seems that the thing is many, but it means that also here has come from such place? It is Matsui that. In regard to setting, because it has become the main street entertainer wind. You think from now on that private equipment and the like keeps being added. Equipment of middle level band of ?? mechanism loyal retainer? Matsui we would like to add. Story it is not possible concretely yet, but. In regard to ?? new job, with the notion that where in the future private equipment adds, the shank. Don't you think? Matsui so is. It is the part, ?? main street entertainer, but as for the schedule which adds the movement of the automaton??The kind of motion which dances at [basutouku] commercial Ku ....... It receives also such demand of Matsui. If possible we would like to do, is. So, calling with the mutton which dances there, as for the [ru] mutton, structure is different, it is. Because is, because the tip memory topic is from here, we would like to keep thinking altogether teams. The ?? by all means forward! Don't you think? Matsui so is. When there is a graphic resource, it is pleasant, you think that it is with, as much as possible we would like to follow. The mutton each part uniting, in regard to the circumstances which come out just a little complicated thing, has done, it is. Because very easily, there is a part which cannot add motion with that, ....... It is the case that provocation and the like it is used, with the combination of the attachment of the ?? automaton, but in regard to the effect of part you think that there is a part which bodily sensation does not develop it is. The matsui equipment becoming likely inside the number, however the [ru] it is, fighting with the enemy which are weaker by your with solo, in case of the [ru] and, the strong enemy doing with the party, you think that with in [ru] case, method of feeling changes rather. In order to be able to acquire change color it is according to the strength of the enemy, thinking, that we would like to add the attachment and the like, it increases. In the extent which ?? shield part if some is left, already just a little it becomes tough? Matsui finally, the mechanism loyal retainer going down to rear, the mutton fighting with the enemy, somehow, we would like to create the circumstance which can be pushed down. Because HP of the ?? automaton is about the same as [pureiyakiyara], when it is level 70, “" aiming in the enemy, simply, it is pushed down. Thinks that of Matsui that in the future we would like to adjust. When conversely, the mutton is even, because also the fact that to force preponderantly, there is a problem, it keeps adjusting on occasion. However, because recognizing this, it increases the fact that present condition considerably is weakening. The ?? it was understood. Presently, there is a frame of 4 types, but as for schedule of the new frame? There is no Matsui present condition schedule, but as for the margin which can be made it is left. Because it is about to want also the frame of new graphics, you think that it keeps being put out with such plan and set. In regard to the ?? attachment? The matsui attachment, number considerably was even, it is with, this time, whether it probably will add slowly, that. But each time some oak and others we would like to keep adding with thinking, because it increases, please have enjoyed. The ?? the magic which can be used it increases? You think that Matsui it probably will increase, but now, have tried not to be able to use special magic. It makes the attachment which reaches the point where other magic can be used makes another body type? It can thrust some resource vis-a-vis the future mechanism loyal retainer, it reaches the point where you can use something you think that it is decided. When the ?? by the way, you mention position of the party of the mechanism loyal retainer, once it is the attacker, don't you think?? As for Matsui present condition, magical type or remoteness type with some effective impression shank. As an image, if the head is improved, we would like to keep having in the positioning that in the healer is possible, specification in circumstance the attacker of avant-garde, is. Shield part duty applying roundly in the party game, when it is said, perhaps just a little it is difficult. But the varieties in order to be able to do, we would like to keep improving the head of the mutton, you think that is.

In regard to job to hear, because there is many a thing which has been let escape, if in addition you can ask to the opportunity in detail, with you think.

[Lokim]

If you think about it, the problem with elemental spells is that SE was too fucking lazy to come up with anything unique. I imagine the developer conversation went something like this:

Dev1: Okay, so we have Thunder, Blizzard, Fire, Stone, Water and Aero. I think we need more than 6 spells for 50 levels though, that seems kind of boring.
Dev2: How about we give them Stone II, eh?
Dev1: Fucking brilliant! Let's go get smashed.

The entire concept of "tiered spells" is so ridiculous it makes me want to slap people in the face. When you come down to it there's as much need for a Thunder III or Cure III as there is for a "lol I hold a sword III". Melee damage and accuracy scale with your skill in that weapon which (gasp!) scales with your level!

Don't we have some sort of magic skill or something that also scales with your level? Elemental magic I think it's called.

Fact is SE got lazy and came up with this ridiculous system of adding Roman numerals after a spell and thinking that they've created exciting new content for players. Aurik is right, but I'll go even a step further: there's no god-damn reason to have tiers of the same spell in the first place. Scale the damage and the MP cost with level.

The only time spell tiers make sense if there is something significantly different about them...like Cure V vs. the rest of the Cure spells. Cure through Cure IV could be removed and just allow a normal Cure to scale with your healing magic skill the same as elemental magic. However, Cure V has a bunch of nifty traits (no hard cap on HP healed, static enmity) that make it worthy of a new moniker.

There's no reason SE couldn't do the same thing with top-tier elemental spells. Give them unique attributes that make sense rather than just upping the base damage and MP cost.

[FFXIFlux]

Bring all tiers down to close to their lowest base damage spell.

So a level 25 BLM will still be using a 30 damage nuke as their top damage? Thats just brilliant.

In the scheme of things, this does not change the overall power of BLMs - it possibly slightly increases the mp efficiency of GOOD blms.

Making every spell identical will do nothing for changing MP efficiency, it will just make it easier for people who are retarded to pick which spell to use.

They did this because they wanted another way to take gil out of the economy. Hi2u 30,000g Fire III scroll.

This was, of course, back when 30k worth of gil actually meant something to most players.
