allgivenover Posted April 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2015 from reddit user /u/The47thSen 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(法典) was actually going to be called Aesthetics (美学). 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 → Koji Gubra Library.

Sharlayan building. Aura naming rules coming end May. Alexander Q&A Q:You'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 ← ?!?!?! Q: Will the Fat Chocobo fly? Y: Yes. 1 Link to comment
allgivenover Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted April 25, 2015 Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons. 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. Link to comment
Gegenji Posted April 25, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 25, 2015 from reddit user /u/The47thSen Q: Will the Fat Chocobo fly? Y: Yes. Most important part of this update, right here. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted April 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2015 Summoner has been heavily reworked. Something something tri-disaster. SOMETHING SOMETHING TRITOCH/VALIGARMANDA Link to comment
Harmonixer Posted April 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2015 Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons. 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. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted April 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 25, 2015 That's also pretty cool, since I wanted my Au Ra to be DRK. Link to comment
Gar Posted April 25, 2015 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2015 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 Posted April 25, 2015 Share #8 Posted April 25, 2015 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? Link to comment
Zyrusticae Posted April 25, 2015 Share #9 Posted April 25, 2015 There isn't enough space on the current HB/XHBs for all those actions. They have a plan. 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. Link to comment
Kismet Posted April 25, 2015 Share #10 Posted April 25, 2015 I don't understand why we have to wait an entire month for the Au Ra naming conventions... Sigh. 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. <_< Link to comment

Siha Posted April 25, 2015 Share #12 Posted April 25, 2015 I don't understand why we have to wait an entire month for the Au Ra naming conventions... Sigh. I was also very disappointed about that, but at least everything else seems really neat and I'm looking forward to ALL OF IT. Link to comment
Trigonxv Posted April 25, 2015 Share #13 Posted April 25, 2015 [*]No plans to show TP. Really? Can do everything else but that? *Salt levels slightly rise* Overall im pumped for everything else but that really grinds my gears Link to comment

Wymsical Posted April 25, 2015 Share #15 Posted April 25, 2015 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. Link to comment
Aris Posted April 25, 2015 Share #16 Posted April 25, 2015 Summoner being reworked! I'm so excited. Everything looks amazing. Link to comment
Trigonxv Posted April 25, 2015 Share #17 Posted April 25, 2015 Are we talking about in the party menu here or what? I am fairly sure it is in regard to party menu, long have I wanted the tp showing up in parties to be an option cause it will have its uses, but I suppose I will trudge along and hope my requests for tp in party chat every now and then will not go unnoticed .

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. New housing isn't being released until after the expac drops. They don't want to overload the servers more then they already are. Link to comment
Darien Cadell Posted April 25, 2015 Share #19 Posted April 25, 2015 Number of retainers going up. 4 maybe? I already have 4. 4 more?! Gaddang, I might actually have room for all these armor sets that don't go in the armory chest for some reason. Link to comment
Seriphyn Posted April 25, 2015 Share #20 Posted April 25, 2015 What is TP? I'm sure it's super-obvious but it has eluded me. EDIT: And ZW too for that matter. Link to comment
Wymsical Posted April 25, 2015 Share #21 Posted April 25, 2015 What is TP? I'm sure it's super-obvious but it has eluded me. EDIT: And ZW too for that matter. Zodiac Weapon and... no idea for TP besides Tactical Points. Link to comment
V'aleera Posted April 25, 2015 Share #22 Posted April 25, 2015 What is TP? I'm sure it's super-obvious but it has eluded me. EDIT: And ZW too for that matter. TP: that stuff you use to swing weapons around. ZW: Zodiac Weapon. Link to comment
Seriphyn Posted April 25, 2015 Share #23 Posted April 25, 2015 Oh, so it does mean Tactical Points... So WTF does 'No plans to show TP' mean then? o_O For the new actions? But we don't even know what the new actions are... Link to comment
Darien Cadell Posted April 25, 2015 Share #24 Posted April 25, 2015 Oh, so it does mean Tactical Points... So WTF does 'No plans to show TP' mean then? o_O For the new actions? But we don't even know what the new actions are... People were wanting it to show in the party UI like MP does, for things like using goad and the bard TP song. Right now it does not, and it seems like they're not planning on changing that. Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted April 25, 2015 Share #25 Posted April 25, 2015 ZW not for the new jobs has me pretty powerful sad. I had swept up those Atma and stored them in hopes of maybe starting along getting a new shiny GS. Guess I'll have to learn some EX Primes in order for me to get a shiny stabby...unless, of course, 3.1 arrives before I complete the new MSQ and so I begin that ZW grind.... ...awrgh, what to do what to do...
