Quote:Q&A bit
A whole bunch of skills are coming between 51~60.

No, you don't get them every 5 levels.

Everyone will need to re-work their rotations.

There isn't enough space on the current HB/XHBs for all those actions. They have a plan.

POE-cap isn't being raised/removed because IL130 is a little high in the early stages of Ishgarde. (previous off record interviews mentioned that they'll be relevant up to l55)

next 24man raids coming in 3.1.

FC primal summoning has been delegated to 'some time later'.

Add-ons on back burner because 3.0 took priority. (they added too much stuff)

No plans to show TP.

New jobs aren't getting ZWs.

New ZW-like quests starting in 3.1. A bit of work has been put into the story.

New jobs will have primal weapons.

Summoner has been heavily reworked. Something something tri-disaster.

Expansion of armoury chest to come later.

Number of retainers going up. 4 maybe?

New housing wards comes after Ishgard.

Choco rank caps going up.

You need HW to be an Aura. No other conditions.

New roadmap planned for Wolves Den and other PVP.

A training mode for raids may come. Eventually.

Thinking of adjusting Steps.

New GS attractions start from 3.1

No plans for DX12

Lore panel
Ishgard is split into 2 levels. Peasants below, nobles above.

Lower levels is filled with ruins from dragon invasions

Mostly stone buildings.

Upper level has many religious structures.

'Twelve Knights'. Remember those words.

That statue at the back on the last row, that has a really incredible back story. (src. Koji)

For a very long while, Esoterics(æ³•å…¸) was actually going to be called Aesthetics (ç¾Žå¦).

Dravanian Highlands
Really, really out west.

Dragons live here.

Koji worked very hard to create Dragonspeak language.

6 years ago.

The new Gunas tribe live here.

Dravanian Lowlands
Downstream from the mountains so lots of water features.

Has not been invaded by Dragons.

Lots of old archaeological thingies.

There's a deserted Sharlayan city. Kinda like old Constantinople. Big scholary city.

But it feels Greek.

They used tarot cards to predict the future.

Dravanian Cloud Sea
West of Ishgard, above the Highlands.

For some reason there are ruins up there. Important part of the story.

The Seven Celestial Dragons are a large part of the story.

The snake like thing in the middle is Midgardsom. The rest are his children, the 7.

Please look forward to how they get involved.

Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons.

Abarasia Cloud sea
East of Ishgard.

Huge elevation changes. Flying mounts are necessary here.

Vanu Vanu tribe live here.

Floating Continent
While working on the settings, I become well versed in genetic manipulation & bioengineering â†’ Koji

Alexander Q&A
Qï¼šYou've mentioned that Alexander Normal is for people to relax and enjoy the story, does that mean they'll be cleared within a day or two?
Y: /em nods.
Q. Was Hard mode made with WoW's Mythic raids in mind?
Y: We're actually calling them Heroic internally.
Q.Does that mean there'll be something even harder?
Y: Depends on the players' clear rates and requests.
Q. So Alexander was made with player clear rates in mind?
Y: Yup. Looking at the number of player clears, we also have something called Content Costs where we basically want our content to be enjoyable by more people.
Q. How many levels?
Y: 4.
Q. Will there be higher IL requirements and more gimmicks as we go up?
Y: Yes. We designed it with what players considered fun between all 3 coils.
Q. How hard is Alexander Hard?
Y: About as hard as FCOB Savage â† ?!?!?!
Q: Will the Fat Chocobo fly?
Y: Yes.

There you have it, we've been massively trolled. Assuming of course this is correct. The stream dropped out for me during the QA section so I don't know how valid all of this is.

Oddly, I'm perfectly okay with this. It really eases up a lot of the lore hangups I had. Now it's a matter of getting those naming conventions.

Very excited about the new dungeon, curious about the lore. I like that they call it heroics internally.

Thanks for the post! A lot to think on.

Kellach Woods · **04-25-2015, 12:06 PM**

That's also pretty cool, since I wanted my Au Ra to be DRK.

Gar · **04-25-2015, 12:15 PM**

New housing wards come after Ishgard? What does that mean exactly? Is that just a bit of a mistranslation? I'm going to keep an eye on more that comes out on that. With them linking SO MUCH on housing (airship crafting) I'm really holding out hope they just release the shit out of new wards.

mongi291 · **04-25-2015, 12:37 PM**

So, if we get a lot of new skills, and they aren't every 5 levels, I guess jobs quests will be more often than every 5 levels (they already confirmed all new skills come from job quests.)... Maybe every 1-2 levels we get a new Job quest?

WHAT

THIS IS HUGE

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHIIING!!

Unless by 'they have a plan' they mean they're going to just consolidate skills or something, in which case nothing really changes and we'll still be locked into mostly static rotations. I hope not. I hope there's some element of choice and options in here. Maybe even stance skills that change the properties of your skills or something. That would be ace.

Kismet · **04-25-2015, 12:45 PM**

I don't understand why we have to wait an entire month for the Au Ra naming conventions... Sigh.Â Sad

New wards coming out at some point is very exciting, however. Hopefully many people can finally get a place! And thank the Twelve that SMN's finally getting some attention. <_<

I was also very disappointed about that, but at least everything else seems really neat and I'm looking forward to ALL OF IT.

Are we talking about in the party menu here or what?

Wymsical · **04-25-2015, 01:36 PM**

All of this looks super awesome besides the wait for Au Ra naming conventions. That's super disappointing. But I'm excited for new GS stuff, more housing wards...

The Fat Chocobo being able to fly is perfect.
