wait, cost to produce or cost to purchase?

To produce. Someone earlier in the thread said that Stormblood's development budget is 35M compared to HW's 10M.

They didn't really commit to anything, sounded like they were just trying to get a baseline for what people might want but

- They sounded like it might not be just one style, aka just Coil or Alex
- They floated the idea of Story, Normal, Savage and Savage+. No one there seemed into the Story mode idea, people cheered loudly for even harder mode. He seemed to hint that Savage+ would be on the .X5 where Savage is .X
- They also floated Savage and Normal having different stories.
- Very "Final Fantasy"

Their implication was that Savage+ would come on the even patches, to give the raider crowd something new instead of just "sorry it's a catchup patch everything here is easier than what you've been doing"
The ideas they voiced (but did not say they were actually going with) were dropping back to a single difficulty, having an even-patch even-harder mode, and giving savage its own storyline.


Also, I wonder if the move from class-based additional actions to role-based additional actions might mean changes to the class system itself.

I must have misheard then.

I think the changes to cross classing are just to give all roles the essential or desirable skills. Why exactly can't AST use E4E at the moment, for example.

I mean obviously it's because they can't cross class with ACN, but what is the reason for that? There isn't really a good one.

Produce. SE's financials state that Stormblood is gonna cost like 35 million, heavensward was about 10.

Presumably this is due to all the extra backend legwork.

Also that trailer was hype as gently caress and I'm so excited to get yet another opportunity to clown all over the loving Empire.

From Reddit regarding the Scarlet Witch/Red Mage speculation:

I think you're underthinking this. Hear me out: * Scarlet Witch is the daughter of Magneto * Magneto is the master of Magnetism * In FFIV, the Dark Elf lived in a magnetic cave * Drizzt Do'Urden is a Dark Elf Ranger * Aragorn, son of Arathorn, is the King of the Rangers * Aragorn was a friend of Gandalf the Grey * Gandalf was a partner of the two Blue Wizards, who went into the East and were never seen again * Ala Mhigo is to the East * Blue Mage job confirmed!

what we were saying was the finished product, there's no "in time" involved here

I'll actually be disappointed if Normal and Savage raids get different storylines. I'll never be the the sort of player that does Savage raiding. Please don't put story behind something I'm never going to be able to do.

It's me. I'm the casual player that all those OF posts are about. :smith:

With ps3 support gone, their long dream of branching jobs can be realized and Dancer is an alt job for Pugilist!

Lifting the requirement that the client UI fit in what 128MB of ram should help their developer workload a lot.

They had to remove the party stat bonuses from the UI and put them in the party menu in order to be able to fit the TP meters into the amount of memory there was available.

Depending on this "improved battle system" thing works, as well as them funnelling money back into the servers, killing PS3 on top of that might genuinely make the game 10x better overnight.

If they can turn up the server tick rate and such, that'll be great alone.

It'd probably be pretty easy to, provided you have a 3D printer, make an Allagan tomestone USB case in whatever variety you desire (and repaint it if necessary).

I haven't looked for people actually having done that, but I'd be surprised if it hasn't happened.
