Quote:Yoshida: In A Realm Reborn it was actually set up so you could level up to about level 42 from experience from quests alone, and supplement that experience with other experience from things like dungeons and FATEs past that. This won't be any different this time around. The experience from the main scenario will be a bit short of what you need, so you'll need to try some FATEs along the way, or try out the new dungeons where you can earn experience along with obtaining new stronger equipment, or go exploring for hidden locations in the exploration log. The level of your first job will advance through the main quest, and subsequent jobs will be easier to level by other methods due to the Armoury bonus. So the best way to level will be to get to 60 first with one job so that your other jobs can gain experience more quickly, so your first goal for leveling should be to get your main job to level 60.

Quote:At the Eorzea Cafe tasting event, one topic that was discussed were "replicas," so can you tell us again about these regarding Zodiac weapons?

Yoshida: Although the Zodiac Weapons have evolved to Zeta form, there were a large number of stages with different effects up to there and comments from many people who liked some of the effects of the middle stages better than those of Zeta. Because the previous item is taken away as you continue through the stages of the Zodiac weapons, we got a lot of feedback from players who wanted to stick with one of the earlier appearances. Since Gerolt has been involved throughout the creation of the Zodiac Weapons, he remembers the forms and appearances of the old weapons, so he'll be able to prepare replicas for those who have completed the Zetas.

So it's like a gift to people who have reached the Zeta stage.

Yoshida: That's right. You'll be able to buy your favorite look from Gerolt's shop and you can apply it with glamour prisms.

I wouldn't say they've been fucked over.... Why do you need to be in an FC to level a gatherer?

You don't, but speaking as a miner who's kinda stuck on progress until he can afford to pay multiple millions of gil for the gear just to be to mine anything higher than a 1-star node, try leveling a gatherer WITHOUT friend/FC support. It can be done, but once you hit that Top Tier Gear wall... ouch.

The gear economy is already kinda wretched for anything significantly above level 50, so yeah, I can see a lot of screwiness until all the new stuff gets figured out.
