See? :lol

Can we expect exp loss?
We're still adjusting and discussing this. It may or may not be an exp-loss when you die in FFXIV. But it will be a lot less than it's in FFXI. However, as said we might not include an exp loss at all in FFXIV. In the alpha version we have exp loss currently, but this is still being adjusted, since it's an alpha version. So it's not decided on
Fully agree, to me it's awesome.SolidusDave said:though why is there hate for VA? It will only add to the atmosphere (if they choose good actors) and will make the FFXI-type cutscenes even better (does SW:TOR also have quest-cutscenes or do they only use the VA for the standard NPCs standing around?)

The game will cost to play. There's a fee for 30 days each. Currently there are no other plans to offer other options.
Do they mean per month or is the new payment system now the real deal? sounds like it is
How the hell do they get away with that?Jinko said:Basically if you subscibe now to FF11 half way through a month you have to pay a full month for half a months play.
Sonos said:I liken it to D&D in motion. You are rolling for hit, damage, extra effect, etc while the enemy is doing the same. Add in 5 other people (in XI most parties were 6 people total) and it can be quite fun. Or horrible depending on the group of people. Made it new everytime which is good.
God's Beard said:I see. I guess it's just not for me, then. It's a pretty game for sure, but I prefer Monster Hunter or even PSO-style real time combat for online games, especially when there's a lot of repitition and grinding.
Well, I guessed they'd be covered legally. Just surprised I've never come across anyone raging about it (I'd be pissed, unless it was incredibly clear on the EULA). Only two MMOs I've played before are WoW and CoH, both of which gave you the playing time you paid for.Xux said:By explaining it in the terms of use you agree to before you play.
Sonos said:That was XI it could be different none of us really know for sure. But my feeling is it will have repetition and a bit of grinding sure.

Sure beats the dusty plains of my former home of Bastok.
VGChampion said:I hope this changes. I don't want EXP loss when you die. I have a hard enough time leveling, I don't want to go through that again.
The "Mammet" is listed with the mobs on Dengeki's site.Jinko said:Puppetmaster is back ... oh hell !!
It looked very nice in FFXI too so we had no doubts!Jinko said:The rain looks quite good, this game keeps on impressing.

One thing to note is that FFXI used its own system, this time Final Fantasy XIV is going to be seamless. No zoning! Just like in World of Warcraft.
Zalasta said:Glad to know that there's no PVP.
Although I question the possibility of both XP loss and item durability. I rather it be one or the other (I prefer XP loss actually), having both seems kind of harsh, especially if making money is going to be as hard as it was in FFXI.

Sonos said:"And also for FFXI and FFXIV we aim to support both players, although FFXIV is using a new graphics engine, so we're providing current FFXI players with an option if they want to play FFXI of course that is fine, but they're also very welcome to play FFXIV."
what do you guys think this means? Graphics upgrade for XI? Confusing statement to me.
Xux said:They did word that kinda weird. I don't think it's anything to get hyped up over, though; just another statement that FFXI's service will continue if people still wanna play it once FFXIV is out.
madara said:A) Wailing Corridor. We are abit under level here and those banshees are nasty, lets think a strategy through here and use caution. A higher level has cleared the way, has healed you or raises you. (Real sense of community and adventure with risks and punishment)
B) Lets just bum rush this place, its not like we will lose exp or anything major will happen. (More easy mode handing hold in mmorpgs since advent of Wow)
With A I had so many incredible memories and relationships in the early days of this genre besides a stronger a attachment to the game .
CrankyJay said:Heh, looking forward to this. Wonder if they'll have trophies for the game.
Sonos said:Good Q/A
I found these interesting:
"And also for FFXI and FFXIV we aim to support both players, although FFXIV is using a new graphics engine, so we're providing current FFXI players with an option if they want to play FFXI of course that is fine, but they're also very welcome to play FFXIV."

"In FFXI, if you weren't fighting or crafting, there was definitely a lack of things to do."
Guy asking the questions said this. I think he is completely incorrect. There was almost too much to do just in quests and exploration alone.
"Will there be Samuari's in the game"
Stupid questions such as this stupid can ruin a decent interview. What is the point in asking about your favorite job? Sorry if this was your question but come on...be for real.
Kintaro said:Samurai is the most popular (and most overpowered) job in FFXI and it isn't shown yet. The question has merit.
Sonos said:When I quit Warrior's were fast becoming the most overpowered. I guess updates change this every few months. I think with some of the "no job" aspects of the game we might finally get people bitching less about XXX job being overpowered over my crappy YYY job.
Honestly though I'll miss the whining. I loved when people whined even when they could change jobs just as easy as anyone.
Holy crap!! Whoa at the screen with the sunset and the bridge, it looks stunning! I love the new look for the Ahrimans, and the new mob looks awesome.Munba said:
