For anyone wanting a translation of stuff:

http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/327yqi/things_that_were_not_in_the_slides_of_live_letter/

Guest segment

Only some things I found interesting to mention:

Yoshida drew all basic storyboards for movies since 2.0; Ikumori then made proper storyboards from them and his team produced them.

End of an Era took around 14 months to produce.

The Heavensward trailer itself also took around a year to make.

Yoshida wanted the Warrior of Light to wear the 2.0 Dragoon AF armor, but Ikumori insisted that they used the new weapon since they were going through the trouble of animating it anyway.

On the 1.0 movie, Ikumori was never told what monster the adventurers would be fighting (just that they would be fighting something) so he put a Morbol since he likes morbols.

The dragon in the Heavensward trailer was accidentally made white; they noticed it after releasing the Teaser trailer. Apparently Yoshida sent the Visual team the wrong dragon model.

How does it work in WoW?

Well I'll dump this here from reddit cause I haven't seen it yet:

FAINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward World Premiere (hah, they noticed the "FAINAL" during the guest segment)
The video they showed during the test stream with all the jobs is part of the benchmark and was supposed to be released at choukaigi (2 weeks from now). Soken says they released that bit early to apologize to the fans for having delayed the expansion for a month (into the "not-quite-spring" date).
To fly, hold jump to gain altitude, look down with the camera to go down. Fly into the ground to land; walk off ledge and you fly.
Currently, flying mounts run at 90% the speed of ground mounts and fly at 200% the speed of ground mounts, but that might be adjusted, possibly up.
You can be safe from ground monsters while flying, and there won't be any "sky monsters" to harass the flying players.
There will be a quest to turn your companion chocobo into a flying mount.
There are plans to turn the current flying-like mounts (e.g. Ahriman) into actual flying mounts, but it won't be in 3.0.
Paladins will get an additional combo, alternative to Halone. It will not replace Halone though.
The new actions for combat jobs will need quests just like we've had to so far.
They will reveal the new Dragoon limit break at Choukaigi.
The new gear sets Yoshida revealed are from dungeon drops.
New crafter skills will come from leveling, class quests, and the Specialist system.
The Specialist system is meant to re-balance jobs so it's not like you need everything at max level to be able to do things. It'll still help, but the idea is to not make it mandatory anymore.
They are changing the starting points for the current Frontline maps.
New Monk PvP weapon will be a Dragon version of Sphairai.
Craft Housing = build a miniature house inside your house.
Airships will be assembled from 4 main components (e.g. bow, stern, etc; I don't know all them naval terms :D).
2.0 Content will have its difficulty adjusted.
Premade parties can go into dungeons with incomplete numbers (no mention of going alone).
"Syncing to lowest IL" = mode where everyone's gear is level synced to the lowest item level allowed for the dungeon.
The loot system is separate between Alexander Normal and Hard.
Primal battles will drop tokens (guaranteed drop) that you can trade for the item you want, instead of having to spam them until you get your drop. This is not exactly like how it'll work on Alexander.
Premade parties can check a "loot master" option, where the party leader decides who gets the items (no loot rolling). Yoshida mentions the possibility of "loot auctioning" (similar to what raid groups do with DKP, but possibly with Gil for PUGs).
Premade parties can check an option that disables the "Need" roll option.
Alexander Normal will work like the Crystal Tower worked (run as many times as you want, loot limited).
There will be future updates with details on each new expansion system (new jobs, etc).
(after showing a modified version of End of an Era updated for Final Coil turn 3): They will be adding Echo to Final Coil in a future update, before the release of the expansion.

Sounds nice...why would you ever use non flying mounts.

What is this, an option to increase difficulty for existing dungeons?

Trailer was pretty hype. Not too hot on the music, but still pretty decent. No flashbacks of the Scions? Ha! Fuck 'em. =P

So got my AV Zodiac drop in one run... I didn't know such happiness could exist lol.

Now the rest of it will be a cakewalk even if it some of them take a while, they are better than AV.

More importantly, why was he still in AF1.
Click to expand...

He took a break after 2.0 and just rejoined in 2.55. Then he gets to expac and is like lol w/e and picks up new trash drg armor they hand out because it's easier than gearing up and grinding tomes.

What a casual.
