Final Fantasy XIV (Rapture) - E3 Conference in OP (READ BEFORE COMMENTING) (E3 Discussion: pg39+)

[Hyan]

I think he specifically meant in terms of gear progression.

Exactly!

[Tomino]

one thing SE needs to implement is a proper, working token system. that's what beats drop rates and gives proper rewards to everyone.
WoW is perfect with that, you have your %drops from bosses AND tokens you collect that grant you additional loots. so, even in the worst luck scenery possibile, you are still rewarded for all the time you put farming content.

[Damane]

Do I care if 90% of people don't touch it? No.

If people want a fresh start in a new game they can have it in a variety of places.

I don't know what is going to happen either way, but I just think some of the statements made in this thread are pure speculation only based on opinion.

That said, I don't think transfers will happen, but I am not sure and I am still waiting for information.

if you dont want to loose your CHAR you can keep on playing FFXI!

Yeah, Limbus and Einherjar don't exist.

Way too much "grass is greener on the other side of the road" in this thread.

[Destinye]

Why would you play a new MMO..using your old character? Why not just...stick with FFXI then if you don't want to leave your character behind?

You both missed the point, but for Destinye that really is nothing new.

FFXIV Maat's Cap from FFXI:

Level 1 - STR+1~7 DEX+1~7, etc.

Gimmie!

[Wuuuuu]

"The only race that is seemingly missing from the collage is Galka, the biggest of the five races"
just me who sees the clear face of a galka in the background?

I saw that too, they couldn't have looked very hard xD Who misses a Galka? @_@

[BRP]

Character transfer would be cool only if the new game didn't have levels.

[Ziero]

Id be OK with it letting you keep a few items for *looks* to show what you did in FFXI but NOTHING else thats it. You want to show off that worthless relic shield!? so be it. It has 1 def and blocks .1% the time. But looks cool as fuck.
that is as far as id like to see accounts moved from 11 to 14

Can I keep my bonecrafting specs? Those things haven't left my inventory since the day I got em. ; ;

This, cept my linkshell. I don't want to miss the FUNE. It's the only reason I'm still playing too.

That's going to be the worst part about moving over for me too. I'll probably just play both for a while, one on my PC and the other on my PS3.

SE has done this with Assaults and to a point Einhajar(no I can't spell it and no I don't care to look it up). With the way SE keeps adding new point systems into FFXI I can easily see them adding lost of token systems to FFXIV.

[Damane]

whats your point in transfering characters over? I mean if loosing your char is not the point, then why wouldnt you just start over?

I have put 5 years work in my char, and I dont mind seeing a fresh start, with new people, a new community, and new ways of adventureing. Porting my char over just screams for me that nothing will change.

[Destinye]

Only point I see to importing characters is people afraid of being newbies in a new world. It may be similar to FFXI just race wise (that we know of), but if you don't want to lose your work in FFXI, just play FFXI. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?

[The Blackrose]

Touche salesman. But you have a lot more items in your pack then elemental staves and you know it. A good game will feature rewards that work well in tandem or instead of previous items, and not just constantly outdating them. Find me a hardcore endgame player who only uses RoTZ era gear and I'll show you a gimp.

Touche. I could almost argue the case on BLM, considering a good chunk of the gear there is RotZ/CoP era stuff, but I'm relegated to just RotZ gear.

That and I don't have an old gear database in front of me.

[Odin'sLaw]

only reason i'd like to "transfer" is so you don't have to re-name your char and you get the same look as before (unless you hate the way your char looks, just hope your fast at getting your name)

[richardd]

You both missed the point, but for Destinye that really is nothing new.

are you mad about the info they gave you about keeping XI alive? im sure they arent going to ignore it for a while. Didnt they say something about rapture at fanfest?

transfer or not, i got a GeForce GTX 285+ waiting for this game. (just hope i dont have to SLi it)

[Tomino]

Yeah, Limbus and Einherjar don't exist.
Way too much "grass is greener on the other side of the road" in this thread.

Einherjar is a good, working example tho it doesnt grant you any Abjuration piece.
Limbus is a little short on gear selection but it still does the job.

What I meant was that such systems should be part of the whole endgame : they were introduced later (Assault could count, too) and worked charms, so I am hoping they'll be there from day1 in FF XIV.

[isladar]

There will be limerick-off and you will lose.

[Kaslo]

Soneldar quit preaching! You only got those elemental staves within the like last 2 years! I'm pretty sure Salvage was out before!

Hey now, just because I switched from WoW to FFXI within that timeframe...

Wait, am I doing it wrong?

[isladar]

Nah, you got a Hauby +1, you're fine.
