There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
I still think Paissa House sounds like a fraternity in a 1980s college campus comedy. On the upside, so does Carbuncle House.

It's just that Paissa House is easier to picture an angry dean yelling at the sky.

Q16: Will weekly restrictions on blue scrips and red scrips continue to be used in Patch 4.0, or will there be a new token for Disciples of the Land and Hand?

A16: Blue scrips will be retired. Red scrips will remain; however, we'll remove the weekly restriction from them. We will also add a new yellow scrip, and this won't have any weekly restrictions either. Therefore, the weekly restrictions for both Disciples of the Land and Hand will be gone

Weird?
I think that means Red Scrip will remain, and continue to be from HW sources, and Yellow Scrip will be from Stormblood stuff.

The question is if they plan to later add Green Scrip or something as a Stormblood weekly limited thing.

Miscellaneous poo poo:

quote:

Q3: Gosetsu looks like a Roegadyn, but also looks like a big Highlander. Which race is he?

A3: He’s a Roegadyn, but one from the lands to the East. Rather than a Sea Wolf, he’s closer to the Hellsguard tribe.

Alright, Yoshi-P, nosejobs when?

quote:

Q14: During The Rising event in 2015, there was a mention about red mage in the Eighteenth Floor. Was red mage already confirmed to be implemented at this point?

A14: If you read the first letter of the each line from Yoshida’s dialogue in the Eighteenth Floor, it reads “thank you.” If you were able to figure this out, it may have given an impression that it was a fake message just to achieve this hidden meaning; however, lots of players believed that red mage was indeed coming, and it made us worry. I got scolded by the project manager for this. I will never do this again… Also, at that point in time, it was just a high probability and wasn’t confirmed.

quote:

Q17: With the level cap being increased, I believe the maximum amount of GP we can have will increase. Will the speed in which the GP recover increase?

A17: The speed won’t change; however there is a new trait which will increase the speed for GP recovery. Players will be able to obtain this trait through the class quest, so make sure to do them!

Fishing still confirmed best job for recovering GP. =3

quote:

Q20: If there are any currently existing mounts that will be available underwater, please let us know.

A20: All flying mounts will be able to go underwater. We will gradually allow more ground mounts to fly.

Ground mounts will also be undergoing major changes, with the addition of two more levels of speed. The current speed will be lowest. Clearing each area’s main story quest will unlock the second tier of speed in that area. Afterward the third tier of speed will be available upon doing a certain something. Because it is the main scenario quest, players who are finished with the story up to 3.0 will automatically be able to use the second tier of speed in all ARR/HW areas.

Please let the Cloud bike be a thing. :pray:

quote:

Q47: Are there plans for the appearance of a young Au Ra NPC, similar to how Khloe is a young Miqo’te?

A47: They should appear in the Azim Steppe region. Khloe is a very unique NPC, so in comparison they may seem more simple.

So i just started playing this game on PS4 yesterday and am having lots of fun! It helps that i have a few friends that play on PC and i'm able to play with them cross platform.

I'm playing an Archer and i'm curious if i'm getting the supposed bonuses from attacking from the flanks/behind? Damage numbers don't seem to be any higher and accuracy appears to be unaffected but it's kinda hard to tell.

Also, what's a healer class that's easily done with a controller? Since i'm in Gridania i can but a conjuror. I kinda wanted to be the card guy but it seems i have to get to Heavensward stuff before i can do that :sigh:

All of them honestly, this game is controller-friendly. Conjurer/WHM is a good choice, though!

I thought Archer didn't have any positional/flanking attacks?

Ah so they mean attacks that exclusively need to be used from behind or at a flank? Because so far no Archers don't seem to have any of those, but the way it was worded in game made me think you just got general bonuses from flanking or something.

Attacking from the flank and the rear does have lower accuracy requirements for physical attacks too, but I don't think that's something that really comes up while leveling.
