Dynamis Interview from Vana’diel Tsuushin Vol. 7

[Thistle]

This was a JP interview? Amazing, I thought the "I can't tell you that" replies were NA_only. c.c

[Gergall]

I wish this interview would have included a question about the item prices at the goblin vendors. For example the one in Davoi sells a Behemoth Horn (10k gil on the AH) for 2500 dynamis currency. If you could somehow get coins at the cheap price of 5k gil each, a behemoth horn from the goblin would cost you 12,500,000 gil.

I would love to see a question asking for some explanation as to why this feature was ever included, and whether any player has ever used 100-pieces to buy an item from any goblin vendor.

Also, this would have been a good end to the interview:

Q: There were several questions you were unable to answer. Is there anything new you can tell us about Dynamis?

A: I cannot reveal any information about this.

Q: Okay, well thank you for this opportunity and for your time.

A: I cannot reveal any information about this.

Q: (Removing a tape player from Tsuushin-replica android)... What the...?!

A: I cannot reveal any information about this. I cannot reveal any information about this. I cannot...

[heavensword]

What a horrible waste of the interviewer's time.

[Meian]

In the end, I got more out of the cute comics than the interview. You'd think with this "apocolyptic" Rapture coming they'd be more into answering to keep players interested.

Edit: I want someone to ask "why the hell do you refuse to answer 90% of our questions?" type of interview.

Hayashi: There is no difference between the different jobs. The drop rates are all equal.

I smell something. It smells a lot like bullshit.

[Mizango]

Just, no.

Total bullshit lol.

I would like to petition for a thread hijack.

There's a tab for FFXI art at the top. Unfortunately, the piece you seek does not appear to be posted. If you are skilled in the ways of shop, maybe you could remove the text yourself.

Given that the community has already verified the new job drops are handled differently, this guy is a lying drone.

Basically, the whole interview came off as a giant "Fuck You", with a bunch of pretty mini-stories interrupting it.

It certainly convinced me that they were talking to the CoP team, because, well..

Actually what he said was exactly correct >.>
They are handled differently yes, but they still have the same drop rate.

[Reapz]

Lame interview but atleast the comics made up for it I guess

[Neosutra]

The fragment answer is the most retarded answer SE has ever given.

[Caudle]

The thought of being trapped in CoP Dynamis for 3.5 hours is a fairly horribly one. "So guys, let's go kill us some Uragnites!"

This is the truth. We refuse to kill those stupid things anymore. I'd rather try and solo the death house in windy than mess with those stupid urganites.

[Skjie]

The real story here isn't the interview, it's the new meme with Goblin Dice. In that regard, this is amazing news.

[fantasticdan]

Q: You stated in a previous interview that areas were not going to be adjusted to allow multiple groups to enter at the same time. Is there still no possibility of Dynamis seeing this kind of adjustment?

Itou: Making a system which would allow for multiple groups to enter one area simultaneously would require a lot of time. I believe altering the underlying system in such a fashion could take years. Alternative methods for allowing players more time in Dynamis could become a reality, and we will work on that.

Instancing dynamis could take years of effort!!

[Lordender]

bullshit on all drop rates are equal. DRG and BST had ridiculous drop rates, lol.

[Arthars]

Q: Out of all the recently added relic equipment, it feels as if BLU, COR and PUP pieces drop a lot, but DNC and SCH pieces barely ever drop? Do the equipment drop rates differ by job, and does this extend to the already existing jobs?

Hayashi: There is no difference between the different jobs. The drop rates are all equal.

ya fucking right...........

WAR vs RDM drops debate in any zone

go

[Malacite]

The comics were (sadly) the best part ^^ omg so cute & funny.

But the interview was pretty god damned pointless. And SE wonders why WoW beats the shit out of FFXI in subscriptions...

[Xno Kappa]

To paraphrase myself from another thread;

"Dear SE, we have plenty of WAR bodies and BST gloves. Please implement RDM and PLD armor relics in the Dynamis-Xarcabard zone. Thank you."
