[Destinye]

What time is the Fan Fest gonna start? 5 EST 7 EST?

Uh..I'd assume 130pm est.

[Starr]

so we get news starting then?

[Lordwafik]

It's 9:08 est now.

[rath]

Opening ceremonies at 10am according to FINAL FANTASY XI Fan Festival 2008 - Event Schedule

[Reapz]

Yes but PST or EST!

[Tomiko]

Since it's in California, I'd say PST.

But maybe it's JST!

[Linliel]

HOLY CRAP...
Linliels sig scared the shit out of me.

lol!! Fear the DD WHM taru!

[Kimiko]

Interview is finally up: Final Fantasy XI Preview for the PS2,PC,Xbox 360 from 1UP.com

[Not Kuno]

Bee mage? D:

[Judai]

That was quite possibly the worst interview ever. Didn't even give a shit about any of the questions.

[Drex]

Wonder how uncomfortable a couple of the devs felt when the one guy said "I think it would be nice to make drop rates higher, but everyone in this room has to agree for it to happen"

but yeah, shitty interview sucks, hay let's discuss level sync some more

[Kimiko]

Bee mage? D:

Like I said, LS inside joke. You won't get it... I don't even get the whole jest of it. ^^;

[millionsknives]

It was one of the better interviews imo. You can ask about AV till the cows come home and you aint getting an answer, its just a waste of a question slot.

I wanted to know why exactly i have to pay £30 in total for the mini expansions etc. I also quite like that Tax idea, shame SE didnt even acknowledge the suggestion

[Thistle]

WTF? From the video clip:

A lot of players are starting to hit 75, even some have, like, you know, 3-4 75 jobs.

No way! There are people with level 75 jobs? Let alone multiple 75s? I'll believe it when I see it!

Edit: And *boggle*

Unlike Red Mage, Blue Mage isn't intended as a front line job.

Apparently the video is old or something, but still amusing...

Wow, I don't usually bitch about interviews, I don't think I ever have before, but this was such an amazing waste of space. He should be shot for wasting a question on Bee Mage alone. God.

[BRP]

Inside joke doesn't really justify asking it.

There is a reason inside jokes are INSIDE.

[Kimiko]

I think the videos are previous ones that they've done that they threw in for filler.

Keep watching it and you will realize that video is 2 years old lol

[Thistle]

Keep watching it and you will realize that video is 2 years old lol

Yeah, noticed that, edited my post.

Still, even two years old, I think the video had more information than the text interview from yesterday.

1UP: If the file sizes aren't that big, why couldn't these have been released as patches you receive for your monthly fee, rather than as paid-for content?

HT: It's basically because we're working from a different content, whereas with Wings of the Goddess people paid for the expansion and these patches are kind of a service, the game itself has already been paid for. Whereas these expansions are entirely new storylines, it wouldn't fit into the WOTG storyline, so it wouldn't make sense to release it as a WOTG patch.


so you really mean "because we don't think we're already raping your asshole's we though we'd charge $9.99 per title so really we're charging you and extra $10's for less work"

good work SE....good work

[Izzy]

Yep, worthless fucking interview lol. Not surprised coming from Milkman.
