Fan Fest 2008 Live Coverage

[Talint]

Are you aware of what percentage of players use a controller versus a keyboard?

Someone needs to explain to me the purpose of this question; because as it stands, my thought process is, "Who the fuck asks this and why would anybody care?"

[Octavious]

It's semi-irritating every year to hear anything they promise, knowing that most last years Fan Fest content hasn't seen the light of day.

[Amastacia]

Oh, and while I'm at it.

Do that many fucking people really want RDM melee?

For serious?

How about fixing fucking enfeebling magic at endgame first, and worry about swords later, eh?

[thetruepandagod]

another fanfest another wave of disilluisionment

[Rocl]

One last MMM thing;

apparently there was another maze done with a harder elemental that one-shotted a PLD with Tornado 2 (1500+ dmg)

[Rocl]

That really pisses me off

[Antithesis]

Hardly any new info. Really disappointing but oh well. At least we got some good laughs out of it.

I'm thinking that was more of a "You promised all these job adjustments last year, where the fuck are they" question but phrased a little nicer. At least that's what I'm hoping it was...

[bercus]

Why aren't all ???s 3 minutes? 15 minutes is terrible.

Dev Team agrees. Question marks will be adjusted for the most popular ones

ASK THEM IF THEY KNOW BERCUS

[Albatross]

I have to agree with you on this, this is quite retarded.

[Ashira]

No AV questions? Say it ain't so.

clopedia did not allow people to submit AV questions, i believe.

Any plans on helping Red Mages get to the front lines? FFXIclopedia
Gondai: - Not in the December patch. The patch afterwards will feature job adjustments, including of Red Mage.

The earlier question I interpreted as what you're thinking. That latter one only reads one way to me.

[ronin sparthos]

Hearing they weren't allowed to ask about AV or PW

Ah that'd do it.

[Funkworkz]

if not posted already, pics i took at Index of /fanfest08/devpanel

god that starwars shit was hilarious. the second list of names was going so fast thats why it was blurry. rare/ex gear pic just plain sucks sorry about that one

[Octavious]

Ugh, that was bigger fail than watching E3 this year. 2008 has failed me, thank god it's 2009 soon.

[Devolver]

I dont understand why they are wanting to make damn near every job a front-line job

Let it go.

[Antithesis]

Really the thing that disappointed me was the fact that I believe EVERYONE thought we would actually be getting some good answers at this years fanfest. Turns out the Q&A was as vague and listless as ever.

[Melios]

Hearing they weren't allowed to ask about AV or PW

Smart move

[Mojo]

I actually enjoyed Red Mage melee, although I can empathize with it being a niche thing. It's definitely not something they should try and hype up as an awesome patch.

[LD]

Them being vague is nothing new, I just thought they wouldn't be assholes and would give us the same amount of info they have the JP. They got the first M3 and FoV details and even irrelevant-yet-awesome crap like Shantotto being in Dissdia. Even the bit about the SMNs was mentioned there first. DNC merits was the only new thing and I don't think people went there for that.
