If FF11 is anything to go by, EU, US and JP versions of the games are somewhat seperate from eachother and use different files.
I have both the US and EU version of FF11 and I can't cross install expansions either.
Whether that will change for FF14 is anyone guess though.
I just noticed this and and am a little worried, one thing they needed in FF11 was a better Auction house and mailing system, the word "possibility" doesn't give me much hope.

Well, it was Core's mistranslation, not me :lol
Anyway, I guess that solves the problem of the multiple audio versions.

Jinko said:Do you guys realise how import this is ?
Guildleves are instanced, only you and your party members are allowed into a guildleve area (or at least what Tanaka said in a previous interview), which means HNM's will be instancedYAY !!
That doesn't mean that there won't be any Nindhogg, King Behemot, Tiamat, Cerberus or Dark Ixion roaming Eorzea's lands every 21 hours to 8 days.
It just means that there will be some Chlevniks, Kaiser Behemoths, Sarameyas and Ouryus inside instances.
Jinko said:
I see the word possibility there in the context that players can use the AH or they can use their Bazaars (which there'll most likely be) or they can just NPC their crap. All those are possibilities.
Besides, for what the AH was when it was released, it's one of the best things they actually made for FFXI, I guess they never bothered improving it or just they couldn't, due to "PS2 limitations".
Jinko said:I never suggested otherwise, even WoW has free roaming world bosses, although WotLK has yet to get one
Yes, they did like to flog that dead horse a lot
Oh I see, I misunderstood you then, my bad.
We just need to have the same, if not similar rewards from instanced and timed HNMs. Having the exact same drops from both would kinda defeat the purpose of the timed ones tho, however if we get something like Zilart (kings/sky) vs ToA (Salvage) drops on both type of HNMs, then it could work, of course without having any game breaking item like a Ridill without a respective counterpart elsewhere.

There will have to be a BST/pet class before that happens
I'm sure there will be some form of class specific gear though, I'm more inetersted in what classes can wear what type of gear.
For example if your main class is Gladiator and you switch to a mage class what happens to the gear you were wearing ?
Will mage classes be allowed to wear plate at the expense of less magic power and mp, this would open up the possibility of mages being able to solo.
Perhaps the majority of vit and def rating is though the shield skill tree, so maybe armors only purpose will be for minor stats increases and bonus effects.
Jinko said:
It would be interesting if all the classes can just wear about everything and depending what you are wearing are the stats that you will improve as you mentioned.
Still I would hope that there is some sort of automated inventory system attached to every weapon, so say if I equip a bow I will swap all my gear around for what I have set for Archer equipment, then if I change to sword/shield everything changes to my tanking gear and then swapping to a staff gives you all your mage stuff. Either that, or a good (enough lines) macro palette.
Aion has a system that let's you recolour about any weapon and armor, you can always change the appearence of any item at the cost of some other one, so for example: You could make an Adaman Hauberk look like an Ares body by giving both to the NPC, the end result would be an Ares body looking armor with Adaberk stats, the original Ares is gone tho.

I thought it worked just fine, when there weren't any gil-farmers messing up the economy.
Oh I hope I hope I hope there isn't a monthly fee. But I don't see that as financially sound for Square, plus, XI wasn't free.
With that said, I hope you don't need a playonline account or some separate login much like MGO, that would suck. You should be able to use your PSN log in, go into Playstation Store and purchase your monthly subscription month by month or for a full year (much like Qore).
The more streamlined, the better

I was more refering to the resriction of 7 stacks/items on the auction house and .. was it 10 stacks/items in the mail system.
Not being able to send mail because someone hasn't taken it out at their end is extremely frustration, especially if you are trying to send stuff to your mules.
Edit:-
The lastest interview suggested that you will sign up using the PS3 browser much like you do with WoW on the PC.
Perhaps this is another reason why the 360 isn't seeing a version as it doesn't have a browser.

I'm sure there will be some form of pet control job. I myself would still like to play as a bst even though most likely all classes will be able to solo.
As for the whole armor thing, I am not sure if any of the below has been confirmed or not but the way I picture it is like this, it increases stats and bonus effects(like you said). I also think that there will be armor/weapon specific abilties.
I do not know if you have heard or played Ragnarok Online, but they had a card system where armor had a certain amount of slots in which you could place a single card permanently which would either give you an extra ability (for example Heal lvl 1, provoke lvl 2 etc.) and/or increase your stats. Excecpt that in FFXIV, these abilities will already be grafted on the equipment.
I guess I just assumed that in FFXIV, I could for example at base be a level 46 beastmaster, with all the job specific abilities I should have at that point(like Charm and Release etc..) and equip myself with a dark knight scyte, Dragoon boots, healer glovies, and a bards beret for other class abilities.

SE stated there would be no SMN at the start, and I want to say they said no pet jobs at first, but I don't recall at the moment. I posted the link and commented on the SMN bit a few pages back, just too lazy to go find it.
As for using different equipment. SE already stated that your armor will be tied to your weapon. I can only assume this means Gladiator's (sword/shield) will only be able to wear PLD-like gear. While Illusionists will only be able to wear WHM-like gear.
That said, we know the classes will be very customizable and grow with your character. Given the fact that this is supposed to be an advancement over the FFXI job system, and you could easily go BST/WHM there, I see no reason why you won't have the ability to use some Illusionist spells along your growth path for BST. Just not sure how it's going to work at this point.

Well now we know what starting area the Gamescon demo took place in, and that hi-potions will most likely be as common as a normal FF.
Ha, that means I was probably right about the city in the background ^^

lets hope they dont take to much room up :/ or are as useless as they was in ff11
Jinko said:
Delivery box had 8 spaces to send stuff, sending gil would take up 1 slot too.
The only think I actually liked about this was your MH Inbox, although it had only 8 spaces too, you could send yourself any amount of items you wanted. I'm not sure what was the limit, but it was over 100.
Of course it was a pain to cycle through all these items stored in the 'limbo', especially with the wait before being able to check the box again. Eitherway, it did help me a lot on storing random things that I didn't want to mule but to keep on my main such as tools, synth materials, food, low level items, etc.

Hi-Potions always become useless in all games as soon as you double the amount that it can be healed with your HP, everything is about the Elixirs and the Medicated status :lol

Not level, Leve. That card is from the Guild Leve system, a Leve is basically a mission. And requirements could mean anything - such as Requirement: a party of at least 3 people. And there will most likely be some skill measure they can use to tell how skilled-up you are - someone having only played for 5 minutes won't be able to do anything but the most basic Leves, and the person of course will be limited to only those.
The main point of doing away with levels, was grinding for experience to gain levels. So now you don't gain "experience" from "defeating monsters" to "level up" after defeating a certain number of enemies, you now gain skills by using skills.

They should call it a mission then

2000 gil, sounds like a nice reward to me
especially for a beginners quest.Do you guys think this will be the main way to make money in FF14 ?, much like Dailies in Wow.
I wonder what BP cost is.
Says Skill - 0, I assume that the level of skill required for the quest.
