Hiromichi Tanaka at Japan Expo (July1~4)

It seems like your asking « Will they finish the game? » and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

[Vacht]

Will borrowed traits/abilities retain their original strength when used on new jobs? or would that create imbalancing like we saw in XI?

I am always in belief that its possible to balance all of these more efficiently. Some subjobs really dominated previously. Id like to see a certain situation for any trait to make full use of the selection of abilities we have leveled to obtain. The more complex it is, the more potential it has to help create strategy.

I know the problem, but i dont have an answer for it, so i may be expecting too much.

"Are achievements/trophies going to be in the game, for both PS3 and PC?"

+1, great question

[Enigma]

1) "At FFXI's release or in a later expansion, can players expect a reward similar to Maat's Cap for having all jobs at the Cap?"

2) "Will players be able to have all crafts capped throughout the course of FFXIV or will their be a point where one must choose which class to excel in the most?"

3) "Will players be able to 'Merit' any and all Abilities that can be carried over from one job to another?"

^ I really do wonder how that will work, seeing as you could have many abilities from other jobs on your one job. It would be amazing if you are able to merit them and use them on any job, not just the job you learned the ability on.

Not worth making new topic for, so I'll just post here:

If luciferu is still reading this, would be good to throw in a question about PS3 in there ;D

[sruon]

I'm going, got a ticket.

Like? We now know when it will be released. No amount of hope will change it.

If you ask why, you'll get 'we were working around the PC version and the ps3 is a little more work'.

[Kawfee]

Someone else will inevitably ask that question at the convention, I wouldn't make it one of your 5.

[Jinko]

Will you be allowed to choose your servers at launch?

^ This should be on that list.

[Lucavi]

^ Seconded. If nothing else, give the CE buyers the option.

[Fisban]

Will there be any game content accessible, both active or inactive, via web page access (i.e. Auction House, guild chat)?

Will there be any social media integration like twitter for guild messages, etc?

Apologies for the random name, it's been a while since I've posted here and I forgot my old login info. Piggybacking on the "SLI / Crossfire" question ask if the retail build will be hard-capped at 30fps. I know the Alpha is, but I'm hoping that they didn't build the entire game on another system that requires people to be limited to 30fps without screwing up attack / movement speeds.

If this has been answered somewhere already, please let me know. I can't find anything other than verification that the Alpha is capped and the benchmark isn't (Vanadiel benchmarks weren't capped either, so that doesn't mean much).

^great question

I consider this a ridiculous question because if any game past 2007 is capped at 30 frames on the PC I will murder the developers of said game.

Edit: But yes, it was mentioned that only the testing client was capped at 30 frames.

There you go again, having blind faith in the company, but no facts to support this faith. Until SE states otherwise, I am operating under the assumption that FFXIV -is- FFXI-2. Its a decent question on its own.

[sruon]

The fact you need 120 FPS for decent 3D itself is making me think that no, it won't be capped. But that's up to the speculation thread sorry.

[Hyan]

Even the benchmark is not capped at 30fps, nor 60. I think it's not only blind faith but it makes sense too at this point =0

^ This.

I found Aion's online ranking, viewer and AH checker pretty awesome. But I can live without the ranking one, too much Epeen flying around. Or do I...........
