I don't agree with that really, WoW has currency dropping out its a**, but there is still stability, the economy is set by the amount of currency on a server.
It's not just currency though its the amount of players on the server and the ease of farming items.
FF11's economy was one of the worst I have seen in an MMO, especially for the first couple of years.
Beaten.

Actually, for the first couple years it was fine. It was after that it got totally jacked by gill-sellers. In recent years Square managed to get a handle on the problem.

Well I remember having to pay 1.5 million gil for a scroll of erase because it only dropped in one BC at the time (there was many examples of stuff like this), you can't blame RMT's for that.
Also gear was a lot more scarce so the cost was so much higher.
You are right in that at one point the econemy was pretty much destroyed by RMT's though.

How so?

That is true, but they learned that lesson about three years ago, when they added non-salable versions of the most-camped items, and put most BCNM drops in many places.
It's even crazier now, with ANNMs and Campaign Unions in the past dropping all kinds of once-rare crafting materials, and custom Augmented weapons that are better than some rare drops.
I'd imagine we'll see a lot of this stuff carry over into the XIV. In particular, I'm curious to see if custom Augmented gear will be a big focus of XIV. Not only could you possibly create your own armor that enables your various class abilities, it would also fit into their statement about "a much wider variety of armor."

Yah, that's it. I am not sure how high the price of those venemous claws got, but when I sold it for 5 million, it was considered a bargain to some extent. Not long after, they were selling for 8 million on the Bahamut server.
Glad to hear the gil sellers are being screwed over now.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Speaking of economy, I paid such a ridiculous amount of gil for an opaline dress. Ridiculous as in "all the gil I farmed for 6 months straght".
Geez. I managed to sell it once it was down to like 300k though.

Like the religion of Altana in FFXI, [Eorzea] will have its own religion. Itll be a really unique type of world, he says.
As to the aesthetic of the game, Tanaka explained that This time with the world of Eorzea, what were trying to achieve is a very unique world. Its going to be difficult to say whether its in the future or in the past. Itll have some type of sci-fi element to it, and at the same time having medieval elements, so its really going to be difficult to say what type of world its going to be.
By way of explanation of the weapons/class system, he said that the goal is "flexibility" and "variety."
As we knew before, surnames may be added to the game. However, Tanaka explained that the goal of such an addition is to facilitate easier name transfers for FFXI veterans attached to their current monikers.
Finally, Tanaka expressed happiness that Nobuo Uematsu will be doing the score for FFXIV. As hes very busy, we didnt expect him to do all of the music for FFXIV, but this time he kindly suggested that he would take care of the whole [score]," he said.
Really glad the world seems like it'll be a sort of... FFIV FFVI mix. Now crossing fingers for a "moon" area

I hated the golems there, always agroed to my magic as drk when I was in a party, and killed me in 2 hits ; ;
Would be cool have some type of appealing server for adult players, like rpg one. Just amazes me how creatively bankrupt peoples avatar names are with the whole 30 secs of thought into them or always going for real world catch phrases that break the immersion and really aren't that cute.

Doesn't really seem like anything really meaty came out of this interview. But at the same time, I can appreciate the situation SE is in. People want constant updates, and they want them all to be filled with new info - if they actually tried anything like that, everyone would be bored with the game months before it's release.
That being said, I want more info on weapons!

Looking forward to seeing and learning more about the world. I just hope they manage to balance the two themes successfully.

Must hear more Uematsu music @_@

I wonder why you liked it there better instead of Sky?
It wasn't possible to chain there past 5, although it was a much better place than Kuftal, at least no shitty paralyze and silence, and I always hated spiders and darters to exp on them. So pre-CoP it was like the best place for 70-73, but after that Sky was the superior place.

EDIT: Just realized that Thaumaturge is Golbez's style on Dissidia. S-E's definition seems to be something that casts spells that strike both physically and magically simutaneously, so possibly a battlemage.
Of course thats just speculation.

New famitsu info has been translated. If you look for it, you'll find it in the places you would expect. Some old, some new~
More thoroughly explains the guildleves, in particular the ones featured at the gamescom demo.
Couple new pics of the common monsters found in the demo.
A better explanation how the combat system works.
Japan won't be getting the demo featured at gamescom, rather a new one, however, it won't be featured at a gaming event like TGS; will be more private and invite only. Coming soon~
Game is roughly 40-50% complete
A few other things worth seeing/reading about.
