*just watched Team Freakin' Bookey's 2% vid*

Man you guys were so close, don't know how you could go back so soon after that. I would need a break before doing that fight again after being so close to victory...

Us being so close is why we're so excited to go back and do more!

While it definitely is painful, we're generally making more progress each time we go back [maybe not in a kill, necessarily, but in strategies used], so as long as that keeps up it shouldn't be much longer.

Thankfully, we seem to be remaining positive through the whole thing, so I'm glad to see that.

 

[Isaccard]

Tell Tina to stop streaming DPS meters. If someone sees it and decided to report him that's a ban.

Also, why does s/he having like 15 things open? Dost thou even dual monitor?

 

[syoaran]

In before PS4 remote play

Using Steam streaming beta, works flawlessly.

Vanity system for Lightning gear.

Dex only helps parry/block rate right, and not crit anymore?

?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

?

2.2 will be introducing the vanity system, where you can wear your best gear but still be able to choose what outfit shows up on your character

I just bought the game from a fellow GAFer, honestly, after watching a couple of reviews saying that this is the 'best apologies SE could do for the fans', I'm hyped.

Currently downloading...167 minutes left. D:

Finally my Bard is level 50. Took me long enough to get him there (I'm thankful for FATE parties lol). Unlocked Wanderer's Palace and ran it a couple of times. It was pretty fun and I'm still waiting on my weapon drop. Although the level cap is 50 right now, I wish SE had a system in place where you could just bank the experience you're still earning from enemies/dungeons and then apply it once the cap is increased. Oh well, it is what it is.

That system is good in theory but I think my Dragoon would have enough exp for lvl99 by now haha.

 

[Bucca]

Any of the Leaders for the GAF guild on ULTROS on?

Been trying to whisper someone about getting added in.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

This evil elf guy in the LNC quest line is totally TOTALLY Guy Incognito. So slick of him.

 

[Seik]

Are most GAFers playing on the same server (people living in NA, specifically)?

I chose Exodus, but that was totally random.

 

[dcye]

Most GAFers play on Ultros, but there's an FC on Sarg as well.

I dunno how Sargaf is but Ultrosgaf is always very active and helpful! We're always accepting new people.

I do wish there was kind of something like Merit Points or a similar customization at the level cap. Something that's not terribly significant in the grand scheme of things, but can be earned at the level cap to give you a little bit of customization. Plus it gives capped players additional incentive (however minor) to run stuff that gives XP.

Or just any form of customization really. Neither the Cross-Class Skills or the Bonus Attribute points system are quite doing their job there, because there's a few obvious choices and not much else.

Something like that comes when they think they have actually reached the final level cap. I'm sure they are going to up the one in the game currently in time while 75 was all that was planed for an eternity in 11.

 

[Leunam]

Fellow MRD/WAR players, what cross class skills should I have?

I kind of like what they did for the PvP Actions/Traits, even if I don't care for Arena style PvP itself. Maybe something like that for PvE would be nice.

On that note I can't wait for Frontlines.

 

[Kagari]

Ahhhhh we are team 1% ( ._.)

 

[Wilsongt]

Sargaf is quite snarky and sarcastic. When people are available is always hit or miss. It's either feast or famine.

 

[Seik]

Ultros it'll be then!

I'll re-create a character, train a bit doing some main/side quests and I'll come share my infos here!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Ahhhhh we are team 1% ( ._.)

Do I have to sit in the chat and cheer you on? You guys will get it!

 

[chrono01]

Sorry Team Bookey, if I had known more about not standing in the Neuro Links when a tank is up [to absorb the hatches] we would have had that kill. Even a second or two of that could have made the difference, even with a few deaths prior. I know we went over the strategy and such, but it seems as though an aspect of that was lost to me. :/

However, lesson learned and I will never make that mistake again. I am [still] confident we can beat Twintania this week. Tomorrow is another day...

Stop being so hard on yourself Makoto! You'll get it!

Second time my static is in Turn 5 and we got up to snakes more than once. I'm very pleased!

Good to hear you're having fun Darkness, you're with a good bunch.

Okay, FINALLY seen all the Titan EX mechanics for myself. Died on the Super Bombs, but it was close enough that had I thrown even one more Tomo while Tanking Titan they would've had it down. Should probably rewatch the video one last time, and try again sometime tomorrow. I just hope I find a good solid group before too long. I mean, realistically, I shouldn't be too far off by now.

Also, yes, the Tanking here is definitely easier than the tanking mechanics for Garuda EX or Turn 4. The big problem is finding seven people whom are patient, capable, and aren't lagging. The mechanics may be relatively simple, but they just aren't forgiving, at all.

I mean, just to drawn an analogy. If a DPS is accidentally killed by a Tornado during Garuda EX, it probably isn't a big deal unless you were only barely making the DPS checks. Raise that DPS once they're clear and keep going. However, if a DPS dies in the later stages of Titan, it's all over. Even geared to the teeth, you probably won't be able to get things like the Adds or Super Bombs down in time.

 

[Xux]

Fellow MRD/WAR players, what cross class skills should I have?

Flash and Provoke for sure. Second Wind and Convalescence can get a bit of use but aren't as necessary.

Eh, there is people that sell Ex Primals, loosing a DPS does not mean you will wipe.

Why are you throwing me at Titan D:

 

[Tendo]

Finally got my titan egi last night. I'm level 40. Whoops.

 

[AmyS]

I don't know if this a genuine release trailer for the PS4 version, or a carefully edited video with PC footage:

leaning toward edited PC footage, but I really have no idea.

If possible, but depends of your party DPS. Is one of the good reasons to bring a WAR. In short burst he can bring decent of dmg in situations like these.

All right guys it's that time again. I have another chance to speak to Yoshi-P so if you have any questions about the game/PS4 version I can try to ask them.

Any chance you can ask him if anythings being looked at with the Fios Lag Spikes issues after 2.1?

That came out of the Japanese PS4 pre-release hype happening now. There were trailers for other games too.

 

[WolvenOne]

Because Titan's fury must be appeased!!!

Go forth! Your sacrifice will not be forgotten!! ;-;

 

[AmyS]

Was that when Square Enix recently released a trailer of FF XV with recycled footage?

Saw the thread posted but didn't actually read through it or watch the trailer(s).


EDIT: nevermind, I found the official one posted by PlayStation Japan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHqXeQxzZWM

This will be my first MMORPG ever.

Never played FFXI Online on any platform back in the day. Never played the original version of Final Fantasy XIV, skipped the PS3 version of A Realm Reborn, and don't yet have a decent gaming PC.

I also never played WOW.

The only online RPG of any kind that I have played, was the very first version of Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast way back in early 2001.

The CG trailers for A Realm Reborn got me hyped for the direction of the game and the actual gameplay footage I've seen of the PC version sealed the deal for me to pick up the PS4 version when it arrives in April.

All right guys it's that time again. I have another chance to speak to Yoshi-P so if you have any questions about the game/PS4 version I can try to ask them.

I think the obvious question is if he is aware of positional lag issues in things like the Titan fight, especially for European folks, and if there would ever be thought put into updating characters positions on the client side instead of the server side.

This would be my number 1 question.

bard coil loot. Where is it?

 

[Stuart444]

bard coil loot. Where is it?

In a group without any bards I'm sure

hah.

 

[Dolphin_Butter]

All right guys it's that time again. I have another chance to speak to Yoshi-P so if you have any questions about the game/PS4 version I can try to ask them.

I'm kinda curious about the DirectX 11 update and what benefits we can reasonably expect; I'm still unsure if it's coming out near or way after the PS4 version, since they've gone on record saying both--with "soon" being the most recent statement. If you can find some room for such questions in your interview, I'd really appreciate it.

 

[desu]

All right guys it's that time again. I have another chance to speak to Yoshi-P so if you have any questions about the game/PS4 version I can try to ask them.

1. News on first expansion?
2. Any plans on adjusting stats? (as of now best in slot or worst gear does not really matter. Get everything i90 and hit the accuracy cap, beyond that stats mean nothing in this game). What about extra things like + % on skill damage etc etc, to make different gear actually useful.

2. Lockouts in 2.2
Will there be item lockouts for 1-5 coil ?
Will there be lockouts for 6-9? (dungeon lockout, loot lockout, duty finder?)
What about drop rates? (we haven't seen some coil pieces in 3 or 4 months, not a single one of them)

3. Any plans improving raid content? A few turns of new coil all 6 months is not exactly much to keep people subbed to the game.

 

[Redx508]

What about the Gold saucer ask him if that's still a thing that's coming some day.Also if they planing on adding a gear preview

And about the PS4 ver will it be lock to 30fps or unlock

Well, if I remember correctly, they're planning on adding at least one new primal each update. Also, they're supposedly going to be alternating between Coil and Crystal Tower, in terms of Raid content. So in 2.2 we'll get more Coil, in 2.3 we'll get another CT raid.

Also premade 24 man groups should be hitting around 2.2, if previous statements are to be believed.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

1. Will DirectX 11 bring new weather effects?

2. After 6 months several players still faces latency issues and other networking problems. Any plans to add a server in Europe or any other enhancements in that department?

I left CT out on purpose, at least curent CT is a bore and casual fest and I have no hopes that it will change with the next CT expansion.
