Vana'diel Tsuushin - Developer Q&A

Seeing Alexandrite in Nyzul as well would make it infinitely easier to upgrade a mythic weapon. You wouldn't have to do salvage at all, which cuts out having to do assaults other than Nyzul to accumulate AP for salvage permits...

pardon the nitpick

You'd still have to do salvage for the boss titles (yes there are still many of us that don't have those yet <sigh>)

[Ziero]

Because the idea of group 3 merits is kinda dumb

We already get one set to increase old abilities and another set to add new abilities. What in the hell would a third set do?

[Lyramion]

Add little sparkles around your char?

[orson]

Thanks for the info Elmer

I'm assuming they mean Dynamis AF.

I'll be curious to see if they add that to Dynamis too. DNC AF is the first gender-specific AF, so would they have two different sets of drops?

The equipment in Dynamis is known as Relic.

Vigil Weapons

Ah ha

[Seraph]

They should be called 'virgil weapons' because sometimes Nyzul feels like hell. ._.

[Airenn]

Uh? Assist what? Why would you want to target the npc in the first place, f8 is suposed to be the quick "monster target".


Priorities on targetting seriously need to be fixed in many instance, including f8 in campaigns, and other stuff like the pole in Nyzul after you zone up.

Don't do campaign yet so I don't know much about it, but YES to the Nyzul thing.

/nyzulpole or someting, I don't care, but that shit is annoying.

Or when you zone up, SAY what the objective is upon zone, maybe?

Yeah a system message would be nice, like in Campaign zones, or Dynamis "Time Remaining" messages when it's close to end.

"Welcome to Floor 1! Please touch the pole for further instructions."

I don't get why everyone is so afraid of WoW. It's not a bad game.

I think you maybe missed the point. What I said had nothing to do with being afraid of WoW but rather that it comes across as a little cheap to have FFXI make an expansion focusing on a wintery northland when the biggest MMO on the market just pushed the same concept through only weeks prior. This I believed would be the biggest reason why FFXI's next expansion couldn't focus on the northlands.

Which depresses me because I like snow, but don't play WoW. If you're suggesting I should just play WoW to satisfy my love for Winter, then... uh... yeah. No thanks, one MMO is more than enough. I'll just wait a few weeks and go roll around in some real snow.

Well we have the northland zones yet to be released to look forward to, along with those gargoyle dragon mobs i guess. Plenty of snow up there, eh?

As long as the next expansion isnt "Vanadiel of the Future!", things cant go too wrong.

And turn you into a vampire.

Nom Nom Nom

What I would love to see is an expansion that features both the norther Orcish territories ALONG with the Southern Mithran Isles. A story that somehow spans across them to merge into one big epic tale.

And boats, custom, ownable, boats. For players. That could pull into any town or city with a port or dock.

That'd be awesome

And turn you into a vampire.

Nom Nom Nom

So now we want to make more people suck?

Not to be pretentious, but please don't call Relic Armor "AF. " That makes it confusing.

[Talint]

The question in of itself said "relic equipment". That could include weapons, but I made the assumption that it just meant the armor, since no-post Zilart job has gotten access to the weapons either. Hence why I said 'AF', as that is the term used to signal out the 50-60 quested armor JSE. AF2 if you want to be specific, but as been determined by a previous post, AF2 sounds "retarded".

I really need to justify the linguistics? Isn't that just a little bit asinine?

[Thistle]

Fixed it for me. Who wants to be crew on my pirate ship! Arrr!

And yes, it would be awesome! :D
