[Gwynplaine]

It sounds like they are in the process of revamping battles period. Could be good or bad.

Theres a couple simple pics on Creator's Voice that might be of interest.

What use does Dark Ixion's horn have? It is a 100% drop, and has no craftable or questable use. FFXIclopedia
Gondai/Ito: A purpose will be considered.

"Lol, nothing, just there for fucking with you guys. Srsly tho, I'll make something up later."

With respect to the ZNM gear, we will "enter into negotiations" with the design team for new graphics.

If this translates into "We'll make Aurum less godawful", at last something good came out of this terribly lame interview.

It seriously took three sites to ask these crap questions? I do have to give SE credit for making sure that all Q&A questions were repeats of things they'd already answered in the interview session, to avoid giving out any additional (or relevant) information.

Less obvious blocks this year, instead they've been meriting their evasion skill.

I am more frightened at hearing downloadable content may be the wave of the future for ffxi, which I wouldn't have an issue with if there were a "dynamis" type dungeon or something you can enter for free every now and again for chance of rare drops, but as far as storyline goes I think they shouldn't replace it with these "mini expansions" in my opinion it shouldn't even go as far as to hinder the release of upcoming expansions. Meh suppose its better than just letting ffxi die, I guess I really can't gripe.

[Elites]

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

What in the flying fuck?

[drwaffles]

The Walk of Echoes zone will become accessable.

Kinda excited for this at least.

[Xno Kappa]

I wish people would shut up about new avatars.

Can someone please explain this to me? My first thought is that it's some kind of diagram of how gil is laundered, but I really don't see how this helps anyone's understanding of anything or what they're going to do about it, lol.

[ronin sparthos]

Did they mean in the Monday patch or next Spring?

For the Walk of Echoes that is.

lol who knows

[Gwynplaine]

Ah, it turns out the custom dungeons use the 3 instanced WOTG zones. Meh.

[Starr]

Kinda sucks, every answer was either "we're thinking about it" or "the patch after next". They say there will be an item from the story line of WOTG in this patch though?

[LD]

They meant eventually, meaning somewhere between March and judgment day.

[Mojo]

This year seems so underwhelming when compared to other years.

rofl, because come judgment day you won't be askin' when, you'll be askin' how

[Ezrael]

Hmmm...

I would have asked about being able to swap the ToAU ring out but I guess some questions are more important.

They were just responding to the question if we will ever get access to it.

[Gtype954]

I am on the last current WOTG mission but can someone explain to me what the walk of echos is? I don't remeber anything about it. Is it the crystal ball showing the destruction of the other 4 nations or what. Either way they said they would implement this area. I am just wondering exactly what it is.

The purple area where you see Cait Sith and Atomos is floating in the sky.

[Niki]

Are you aware of what percentage of players use a controller versus a keyboard? Stratics
Tanaka: There is no real data collected on this, because there are PC users who may use a controller. We have no grasp of these statistics.

Dont they have a site where they could just make a fucking poll? Just wow
