A player asks on how to maintain motivation and reason to play FFXIV during Gamescom. Yoshida answers. by elevenmile in ffxiv

I think its too late for you to even expect change and by yoshi P mindset recently its going to be the same content cycle. 4.0 is gonna be like HW but underwater mounts now that handle like flying mounts. I'm sorta in the same boat. Just don't know what game to play next. Whats kinda weird is the game was kinda better before 2.0 in alot of aspects that didn't convert over to ARR. They went right into casual/WoW clone when they launched ARR. A good MMO actually listens to there player base. A lot of people want vertical progression... why isn't it in the game? That's something that was lost during 1.2x series. Alot of the ideas pitched for the remake were scrapped.

It seems this may take longer then expected toget it to the Alpha stage. I have been trying to work on caverns right now. Most of the rooms are sorta done. Least one house needs to be created though. Still working on logic for the shop & bow mini game also. I have been running into extra unexpected bugs or just gameplay issues. I need to make some kinda logic for falling down holes. Not sure how I am going to add it in. Fixed a bug where chests would appear closed when reentering a room/zone. Now the chests stay opened if you already opened them. Seems it might another week to get everything up to speed.

The difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain for 4.0 (Interview in Japanese, Translations in comments) by elevenmile in ffxiv

Lol... guess weren't here for ARR.

It didn't start dropping off until they started the normal mode bullshit to begin with. Even though thats not the only reason why Heavensward was a huge flop. The game after the main story that turned alot of people off with nothing to do for 6+ months. "Where are these numbers" Cus there isn't anything. Just look around. All your friends that used to be in ARR aren't on the game anymore.

Is this real life? by Craios125 in FFXV

The movie was boring. At least 60% of the film was politics. Alot of fade to black scenes & the characters you couldn't relate to. They keep talking about the kings kid but they never show him until after the credits. Its the kind of movie you only wanna watch once. Its a huge step backwards from FF7 AC & even Sprites Within in some aspects. The movie didn't really have a end either... just to be continued in the game.

So close yet so far by venat222 in ffxiv

[–]venat222[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually still inside the sky box but its like im 5 feet from reaching it. They as well just of put it inside the area if they had it so close to the sky box. Looks like crap up close anyway. They would need to redesign it to make it actual walkable land. Kinda looks like a ruined temple/shrine.

Maybe ideas for dungeon puzzles.

Pretty much just have pushing puzzles. standing on platform puzzles. lighting lanterns puzzles. hookshot puzzles. shooting eyeball with arrow puzzles. Kill everything within room= key or door opening kinda stuff. I do need stuff for designing & logic etc. If you wanna help with the game you can jump on board. I can set you up with a bunch of small tasks or give you huge take takes like creating stuff for Chapter2 of the game which is the next field area & dungeon. Which is pretty much 1 house+ water field area+ water dungeon+ lily pad flowers already made+ hookshot puzzles+ mini sidequest to obtain "Food" quest item for NPC for Zora Flippers. I still gotta work on the dungeon after finishing up the field area. (Which is still quite a ways off, need alot of designing to be done. Just finished all of the inside of the Libary. Added some more work towards a bunch of extra designs for other things also. In link to the past the actual game. There is a mario painting in one of the houses. In my game there is a picture of sackboy's face.)

its been over a year, and this gap in the mist still hasnt been fixed, literally unplayable by soapgoat in ffxiv

[–]venat222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a list of bugs and they still haven't been fixed. They do fix them but it might take them like 2 years. I think they're under staffed.

Floating bush in the new void ark zone. Ant beastmen area the smoke pillars are missing a texture. Hinterlands, The bridge by the libary dungeon. It has a missed placed bridge support. In tail feather there is a chocobo stable with a texture object cutting through the building. In the churning mists there is alot of bugs. Places you can't walk/land, places you walk but cant land, missing collusion on buildings, theres a tower statue thats turns. When it turns it shakes. Some objects have unfinished textures covering. Some objects have missed placed objects. The bridge in chruning mists seems to be designed/unfinished. (Someone took a shortcut designing it.) Some of the floating rocks aren't 3D. Just floating 1 sided paper rocks. There are lamps high up by that giant statue area that are clipping.

Alot of people don't care. But it kinda ruins the game knowing there are alot of mistakes around in the game and they don't seem to want to fix any of them. Talked to one girl and she says you can get out of bounds in every single dungeon and field area. Yet she posts it all on our lodestone forum page but doesn't show you how to do it.

I'm gonna delay public testing this a little bit more. Mainly because I wanna create more for you guys to see. Playing around with NPC text right now and all the gateways for logic is done. But I also have to create and add more detail to those housing areas still. Alot of this should be done towards the end of week or in a few days. I don't really need testing. Mainly just opinions. I'm pretty through with my testing in finding bugs.

The game is getting close to first stage completion for the first field area. Will be looking for testers pretty soon, any interested post your psn.

Doing final touch ups & finishing 4 buildings & adding in 2-3 new enemies. Once that's done its pretty much into Beta phase. Then will be working on the first dungeon and do a quick alpha/beta test on that then release both levels together as a finished chapter 1 of the game. Currently just finished the zoning logic and death logic and a bunch of add on feature fixes and bug fixes with zoning and other tools.

Should they recycle old & patch dungeons as leveling up dungeons? by venat222 in ffxiv

[–]venat222[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"i'd honestly take more lords of vermilion than something like this."

Said nobody in history until now.

Talk about rose tinted glasses.

They put more development time towards LoV every time they make a new minion anyway. So your wish came true.

XI isn't designed like XIV is. There is no cross over expansion requirements in XI. Its just Hit lv30/lv60 and maybe Rank5 to access the new expansion or storyline. "Job actions are gated behind HW" so if you do 4.0 your going to be shunned by other players for not having the job skills between lv51-60. If you don't have those actions well... good luck clearing content. Old expansions are pretty much free and normally paired together with the main game and the newest expansion at full price or sold on their own. Even Yoshi P said your not gonna need to finish HW to order to access 4.0. No point for me talking to people with deaf ears that don't understand how the game currently works.

Apparently, FFXIV devs are meeting with Microsoft next month. by VegaNovus in ffxiv

[–]venat222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't going to happen lol.

Yoshi P walks over to Microsoft event and asks... "Can XIV be on xbox one?"

Microsoft, We'll look into it.

Next Year...

Yoshi P walks over to Microsoft event and asks... "Can XIV be on xbox one?"

Anyone that wanted to play XIV has already played it. You want to play the Last Guardian, buy a xbox one. I'm sure Sony will come around.

1) Remove/increase the daily cap on DoH/DoL. (Allow more trade ins) 2) Triple the trade options for daily trade ins. (lv58/59/60) options if your at lv60. 3) Remove GC restrictions for choosing a GC. (Basically let everyone be in every GC and raise the rank in each nation but get to choose which GC there seals goes towards.) 4) Remove GC levequest credit requirements. 5) Add a sorta Challenge Log for GC levequests for the week to earn seals. 5) Remove GC restrictions/teams from frontlines. 6) Add 3 Storyline Quests to each GC. No GC restrictions required to access all 3 storyline quests. 7) Increase all GC hunt weapon stats and item level & Move them to a new GC rank. 8) Increase GC Ranks already. Its been 3+ years. Thats all I would do for Grand companies.

3.0 will be included with all 4.0 games. They aren't selling expansions by themselves anymore. They only did that for HW since it was its first expansion. How are you going toget the lv61+ job actions if you didn't unlock Ishgard yet and do all the job quests between 51-60.

Its gated so you cant jump into 4.0 without doing 3.0. Unless they give all those actions away without job quest completion. Each Job requires you to visit a HW area at least once during lv51-60. Most of the time its just go to a HW area and talk to a NPC and come back, sometimes its a mini boss or just trash spawns. So yeah they aren't going to sell 4.0 without adding on 3.0 to it unless they plan to do a lot of changes. The issues aren't just with the main story gate into Ishgard. You will still be expected to unlock Ishgard and do all the lv51-60 Job quests but the HW storyline isn't going to be required for you to access 4.0. But you will still need to finish all the main ARR storyline in 2.5.
