Issekigan was designed as an ability that makes it easier for the player to avoid attacks and target the opponent.

As I'm sure you know, the order for avoiding attacks goes: Evade>Parry>Utsusemi, so the stronger the opponent (with higher physical attack accuracy), the bigger the effects.

We have received feedback saying that "I would like this ability to parry every time, so I can use it to support Utsusemi," but this would make the ability way too strong, so we cannot implement this kind of change.

However, we felt like the effect duration was too short, so we changed the duration from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. This has been reflected in the Test Server, so try it out!

Ninja feedback!

Go ninja, go ninja, go! <3


Quote:
I want shurikens to be improved.
Shurikens are not weak weapons, but they are not used very much because they are expensive, and it is difficult to obtain a shuriken that fits your level. We are working towards addressing these issues.

Regarding adjustments to ninja itself, we are planning on focusing on merit point categories initially. Concurrently, we would like to work on adding high level shuriken and increasing accessibility. We have received requests for adding additional effects and enfeebling effects to shuriken, but it would be very inconvenient to have to carry various types of shuriken in addition to ninja tools, so we plan to continue to separately utilize ninjutsu for enfeebling effects and shuriken for damage.

Quote:
I would like Yonin/Innin to be sustained abilities.
In exchange for the effects wearing off after a predetermined time, we were able to craft effects that are very powerful. It is possible for the ability to be changed so that the effects are sustained for a long period. In this case, the effects will not wear off, and a weaker version of the effects could be maintained. However, the strong effects that exist currently would have to be weakened, so we don’t think this is desirable.

Quote:
I want an ability that resets hate by throwing a smoke bomb.
For a job that has the versatility of not only dealing damage but also the ability to tank quite efficiently, we don’t have any plans of adding an ability that controls hate.

Quote:
I would like the power of elemental ninjutsu increased.
The power of elemental ninjutsu can be increased through ninjutsu skill, skill bonuses, abilities such as Innin and Futae, and gear with magic attack bonus. We believe that elemental ninjutsu is sufficiently effective when used in conjunction with the above. However, we do think there is an issue with accuracy, so we are looking into a solution.

Quote:
I want the duration of Monomi/Tonko to be increased to a length similar to the duration of magic spells.
Ninjutsu doesn’t have the downside of being detected by magic aggressive enemies when casting, so it’s much easier to recast ninjutsu than magic spells. Thus, the duration of ninjutsu is shorter than magic spells.

Quote:
I want some way to recover HP using ninjutsu.
We have no plans of adding recovery type spells for ninjas. We would like players to choose a job with recovery spells as their support job or have their party members cover them.

Quote:
I would like “Ni” and “San” upgrades added to enfeebling ninjutsu.
If we are to add upgrades to ninjutsu, we would like them to be learned as merit points similar to red mage, so we will look into this during our adjustment of merit points.

Quote:
I would like ninjutsu that protects players from AoE spells added.
We have decided that ninjas will be weak against AoE spells in exchange for having strong defense against single attacks, with Utsusemi being the focal point.

Quote:
Ninja Tools: I want to be able to create inoshishinofuda/shikanofuda/chonofuda through synthesis.
We are planning on implementing this.

First one seems to be something about wanting to toolbag shurikens and sorta sounds like SE are saying no to the idea.

Second sounds like changing Yonin/Innin effects to less potent when you first use them but doesn't decay, rather than them starting with high potency now and decreasing over time.

Third, a smoke-bomb provoke?
Longer Monomi, sounds like a no.
Cure ninjutsu? lol
Others, don't have a clue.

They're looking at doing something with shurikens via merits (some form of recycle or enhancement?) and adding new ones along with new ways to obtain them to relieve the supply issue.

Second question looks like a request for constant effect Yonin/Innin, which got a "no".

Third question, reset hate by throwing a smoke bomb. Looks like another no.

Not sure on fourth question due to the untranslated kanji.

Increase Monomi/Tonko duration, "no".

Add healing ninjutsu, "no".

No idea on next question.

Protection against ranged attacks? Not sure what the question is here but it got shot down for balance reasons.

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm as clueless as you guys on the last one, wtf lol.

I believe the smoke bomb question was talking about people wanting an ability to shed all hate with a smoke bomb.

Re. the wild boar bill, deer bill, etc. lol

I think it has something to do with the universal tools. One of my JP friends explained to me that the universal tools can be translated as "seal of the boar", "seal of the deer", and "seal of the butterfly". Don't quite know what they're getting at though.

No, I'd be more interested if they planned on doing something about Dual Wield. For the longest time NIN was the only one with it, and now DNC is very close behind (3% iirc with ideal gear). Just seems like SE is starting to give more jobs some of these traits that made older jobs unique.

"I want to add a version of Ninja series weak upper"

To me, this one sounds like they are asking for more potent versions of the enfeebling (weakening) ninjutsu. Shot down because that would make nin better than rdm.

"Want to increase the power of 遁術"

I think this one is asking to increase the power of elemental ninjutsu (lol). In the response is mentions "double shinobu" which I think would be the "futae" ability. Basically they are saying "If you make full use of all the stuff that is already there (like gear, futae, etc) it already does enough damage. We will think about increasing the accuracy though."

遁術 is "tonjutsu" or elemental ninjutsu.
it's kind of weird because "tonjutsu" literally means ninja art of escape :D they basically say "no, because there's already a lot of stuff to improve the power of elemental ninjutsu, although we'll look into adjusting the accuracy."
