Advertising something you're unable or unwilling to sell is lame. I hate the answer to that question because it's exactly what everyone wants to hear, and he knows it, which is why he said exactly that.

that was probably the last question unless they go overtime

maybe we'll find out about cactuar needles in another 6 years

i expect my own we are vanadiel page talking about the history of cactuar needles, how they were planned to be used in an item that could remove petrify but they realized you wouldnt be able to use it while petrified so they never made it and thus never added it to any recipes

Half the answers were basically "we can't because we don't have the cash" lol. I get why people are pissed but the devs really are trapped in a corner on this one.

I wish they were faster with answering questions; felt like a lot of great questions were not answered/.

Here is what I took away:
  • No plans to update relic weapons

  • They will consider allowing stacking of MPs based on Odyssey congestion, which they are watching

  • Delve/etc will not remove the 3 person limit due to congestion

  • Casting DD strats were nerfed to provide more diverse playstyles and strategies, they plan on buffing them going forward provided they don't become powerful again. Hmmm, Savage Blade?

  • Moving away from the PS2 dev kits would require a lot of work: decoupling PlayOnline, new data formats, etc

  • No plan to buff DRK or WAR tanking abilities

  • No plan to allow one char to take multiple crafts to cap

  • They are going to address Mireu MPK

  • They have no plans to increase the cap or add items to Ambu, because it's supposed to be obtained through "other content"

  • They tried to increase FPS to 60 but it wasn't successful

  • They will not change the way BST jugs from items to something else because there is no mp/tp requirement for summoning pets

  • Given unlimited funds, Matsui would revamp the dev environment and make an expansion

Just pick your favorite questions that weren't answered and spam the stf site with them

And spam the official forums till every topic on front pages is your topic of choice

Get to work

I'm assuming that they meant dex=acc and crit for higher damage spikes and agi=evasion to dodge attacks. Really bad translation though.

Even at its deadest I imagine XI will just be merged into one server before being turned into a single player game

It's accurate as stated. DEX affects melee attack traits (accuracy and critical hit rate). AGI affects defensive traits (evasion).

This AMA has done more harm than good. How dare they skip over the Naegling / Savage Blade spam question.

My summary:
Anything for the future of this game?
- We have no plans for that at this time.

I'll give them some credit for going into overtime on the Q/A and disagree it's done more harm than good. They should be more transparent if anything.

That dude should've asked "Can you switch the DEX and AGI modifiers for Blade:Hi and Jishnu's Radiance? They literally do not make any sense for the weapons they're attached to."

now that I'm looking back at that question, it's super cluttered and garbage

Have to stop asking them "what is the thinking behind [xyz] decision?" and just flat out ask them to change something. I don't care what the hell they were thinking when they made Gandiva and Kannagi. It makes no sense. Change it. Gives them an opening to not address the real problem and just give a bs answer.

Every additional word you put into a simple question, it allows them to answer the wrong question.

They could probably fund an expansion or mini-expansion easily with a Kickstarter campaign or something but are too proud of a company to resort to such tactics.

Yeah, I basically understood that PlayOnline and the PS2 Devkit at this stage of the game are literally the devil where the spaghetti code is so ingrained with these systems that the game would be unplayable without them

I'm super mad that dude straight up asked for jug pets as Key Items, when the jugs should be nonconsumable. Even if you made them consumable like with spell scrolls, it'd function the same way with the added benefit of less inventory bloat
