[Mandoric]

No one likes the Maelstroms for some reason. :|

 

[chrono01]

Go Immortal Flames!

IF - 37%
TA - 36%
MS - 27%

 

[GorillaJu]

Dragoons being highest is no surprise - they're definitely the coolest DPS class in terms of style and appeal. They have the best looking armor, and they're a traditional Final Fantasy class, while Bard and Monk have always been on the periphery.

 

[Teknoman]

Aww yeah, GO FLAMES!

Monk has been around since before Dragoon.

 

[raven777]

is this white mage AF+1?

 

[mileS]

which colors are which jobs/classes?


also i'm shocked maelstrom is the lowest %. I thought it was by far the highest. Or at least tired with Adder.

 

[chrono01]

King Moogle Mog!!!

 

[Mandoric]

Good Kind Moggle Mog HM for 50s. "Why'd a moggle get summoned to Eorzea rather than a primal? Follow the story and find out!"

also, ultimate versions of the existing primals

One new dungeon "Pharos Sirius" and two HMs of exisiting with new mechanics/bosses

 

[chrono01]

EXTREME Primal Battles?

Wow.

 

[Teknoman]

EX Primals dont seem that different in looks. Should've been palette swaps.

 

[GorillaJu]

Aww yeah, GO FLAMES!

It doesn't matter if technically the first monk was in FF2 and the first dragoon in FF3, dragoons are a trademark class of FF. They get a lot of love and attention (and have done ever since FF4), some cool characters and great looking armor. Monks not nearly as much.

 

[Mandoric]

Housing: "The stuff Wada always talked about"
380 pieces of furniture, more in future lives

 

[Zomba13]

Shantoto (FATE I assume)

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeet!

 

[Mandoric]

More PvP details tomorrow

future features

The beastmen give your dailies. Wonder if there's Ixalbags or Amaljahbags in our future?

Dont Monks too? Who doesnt like Sabin, Tifa, and Zell? Granted they arent always the coolest looking (except Sabin).



*I'm biased since Paladin/Knights, Monks, and Blue Mages are my favorite FF classes.

EDIT: Treasure Hunts could be fun.

 

[Kokonoe]

And there's the problem. They should be dressed like martial arts masters.

Of those, only Sabin is recognizable as a monk, the others are just hand to hand fighters. I love Sabin, but he doesn't have the same appeal as a Kain Highwind.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

It is unacceptable that the Flames are beating the Adder.

Go yellow or go home.

I'd assume that Maelstrom is lowest because it doesn't have as many starting classes. They were actually my second choice. I'm not a fan of Ul'dah.

That Sultana ia adorable, though.

[mileS]

Thanks Mandoric. Appreciate it.


Can someone give me the % of the classes in english? I'm curious. Or tell me the colors. whichever works.

 

[TheDancingWatermelon]

Thanks for the updates! Did you happen to catch any mention of a date for 2.1?

 

[GorillaJu]

Twin adders! Yeah!

Twin... somethings, that's for sure.

 

[Mandoric]

Didn't catch a date.

[voodoopanda]

You guys left out my boy Yang from FF4. Plus Monks have been in practically every Final Fantasy from 1 to at least 11.

 

[Aeana]

thank you






here is DQX collaboration stuff

I am super excited about this. Especially the golem minion. omg.

 

[xelios]

Oh my god, too much excitement for one page.

 

[Aeana]

What does it mean by "random matching feature" for the Duty Finder?

 

[Ken]

What does it mean by "random matching feature" for the Duty Finder?

from the interview posted earlier you let DF find you a random dungeon instead of you selecting one and you'll get a daily bonus if you do this

 

[WonkyPanda]

The support has been incredible. Can't remember such big plans from an infant MMO*



*sorta infant, 1.0 and all....

 

[Aeana]

Oh, that is actually a really cool idea.

 

[Kanokare]

What does it mean by "random matching feature" for the Duty Finder?

I wanna say that it might resemble WoW's if they are to introduce hard modes for current dungeons. Then you can queue for a random dungeon and maybe have some extra benefits from that like more Tomes or something. Just a guess though.

 

[Lain]

What does it mean by "random matching feature" for the Duty Finder?

Sounded just like WoW to me. The game randomly picks the dungeon and you get a bonus reward.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

No one likes the Maelstroms for some reason. :|

Going by Ultros I thought Maelstrom would win by a landslide.

 

[Ken]

Oh, that is actually a really cool idea.

No, I believe it will be somewhat better than 1.1 times. Also, we’re going to start random matching. Not sure if we’re going to separate the story primal battle and non-story primal battle from category but for categories are split into categories such as “Leveling Dungeon”, “End Dungeon”, “Guild Order” and if you press the “Random” button to que in, DutyFinder will automatically and randomly choose a dungeon. For those that que in with this random matching will also get a bonus. However this is once a day feature.

Once a day, what do you mean once?

The bonus you can obtain from doing it random.

I see, so you can play the random matching as much as you want in that one day, however the bonus will only apply to that first time only?

We are still looking into either making it once a day, or one bonus only. When we say bonus, it’s not experience points or gil, you will be able to obtain tokens needed to obtain gears. You will be able to obtain tokens from this random matching. Merit in doing this is that high level players will come in together with new players to fill in the roles that is short. Also we’re looking into a feature where you can submit a vote for MVP. When queuing in with random matching, players can submit a vote for another player as MVP. By collecting those MVP points you will also be able to trade with items. We are already listing up the rewards, but you can get mounts, or chocobo specific gears and such are being looked into.

Ohh, that’s nice, is that also coming in patch 2.1?

Yes we are planning to implement this in patch 2.1

[LegendX48]

Anyone else getting insane amounts of lag?

Was in the cape westwind trial and at one point the whole fight just stopped for about a minute or two and then suddenly went octuple speed and a whole lot of people were dead on the ground lol

[Lain]

The MVP votes which can get you stuff is something I don't exactly like. In a perfect world it would be awesome, but in this world...

 

[Mairu]

I hope early October for transfers means like, first week. This waiting to play with friends really sucks.

 

[Aeana]

The MVP votes which can get you stuff is something I don't exactly like. In a perfect world it would be awesome, but in this world...

It sounds like you can only vote up, not down, so that should help.

 

[Varna]

Good stuff. What about that local party builder? Any word on that?

 

[solomon]

can finally start playing, finding a physical copy of this game was oddly hard, had to go on ebay and luckily found one for 35$ sealed.

 

[Isaccard]

Healers/Tanks will always win the votes

sigh

 

[GorillaJu]

Archers will basically never be MVPs. It would be like getting recognized for flipping on a light switch.

Also it's interesting to see that the Tank/Healer/DPS balance is very close to ideal. 50/25/25 would be perfect and right now it's about 54/21/23 was it? Not sure what "other" means. Either way, there obviously isn't that bit a lack of tanks or healers.

 

[Berordn]

Archers will basically never be MVPs. It would be like getting recognized for flipping on a light switch.

As a WHM I love Bards for actually paying attention and flipping that switch.

So few actually do.
