    Just got out of my press interview with the dev team...

    ...and this is what I posted at http://blogs.gamersinfo.net/index.php/ffxi


    Just got out of the interview with SE's dev team!

    I'm just going to dump everything here:

    New Windower on Tuesday. "Will SE now start banning those using the 3rd party Windower and it's plug-ins?"

    The veiled answer: No. They hope that everyone will start using the new official Windower, but if you use the 3rd party one for stuff such as the plug-ins, it will be at your OWN RISK.

    Macros: 4000 new macro buttons. Same amount of macro lines for each button however.

    Stuff like Bloodpace or JA timers: SE tried to modify the interface but failed on their first attempt, they're going to try again soon.

    Dancer: Meant to be a front-line healer who can shoulder other jobs if need be. Dancer was meant to shine in parties of less than 6.

    Scholar - Backline with JAs, not just magic. SE feels there wasn't enough backline people.

    ABSOLUTE VIRTUE - Can be killed, SE intended to show a video at Fanfest, however they didn't have enough time to create it because AV simply takes too long to kill and they'd need people to stay overtime (laughs from dev team) to work on the video! They intend to post it.

    And they hinted they would add an item to 'enfeeble AV'.

    RELIC WEAPONS - New weaponskills are being added in the new expansion, and when they do so, they will go back and revamp the relic weapon skills to keep them the 'paragon' skills. When I asked this question, they took quite a bit of time to formulate a response, so it did definitely hit a nerve.

    Updating FFXI for the new computer technology, Xbox 360 and PS3? No. Redoing character models and such would require too much resources.

    Is WOTG the last expansion? No. SE wants to visit continents to the Far East, West, and the South.

    We only had about 25 minutes with the team between myself, and reps from 1up, Joystiq and RPGsomething.. so didn't get to remotely ask all the questions.


    We'd have asked a lot more, however we ran out of time and the dev team hadn't had lunch yet.

    the fact that they attempted to add job timers etc surprises me.

    Cool so its okay to use it at our own risk? Works for me.

    I'm sure they'll look the same, the damage output may differ.

    The best thing they could do to the relic WS's without ruining them is

    a) Turning them all into multihit WS (preferably 3 or more)
    b) Changing their mod from 3.0 (like it is now) to 5.0 (like sidewinder) or even higher.

    I hope not. ;; But if the case about Nyzul weapons being the new relic weapons, which makes sense.. then it might be the case. I just want to use something that's not Kasha/Gekko/Yukikaze D: (And not Kaiten, because I can't afford it. >.>)

    i actually thought of it as more to the extent of real JSE weapon skills.. perhaps..

    the way they phrased it tho, the new WS seem pretty powerful to be able to challenge relic WS.

    Didn't you hear? You use 18 PUPs spamming Bio II to kill AV, of course it takes that long.

    Thanks interesting stuff. Is any of it directly quoted, or is it mostly just your paraphrasing?

    If AV becomes much more killable than before that I'd think Sea would get its perfect fix. The drops from AV is good enough to pull a huge demand back into sea. Large drop pool that appeals to many different jobs. Ninurta's Sash o.O

    They ended up avoiding Absolute Virtue in the end, who else saw that coming?
