It's literally the MAIN THEME of the game: "racism is bad, mmkay? We're all the same regardless of what we look like."


As if, Dia and Bio doesnt stack - Black & White magic doesn't pair.

In Escha Sky, the only island without a ??? to pop NMs is #8 - the black if you ever played pool.

Just to mention a few JPnazi hints, since we clear up myths here now :D

I can't wait to see how they dodge and weave with carefully crafted answers that say a lot and nothing at the same time. They will take a lot in to consideration and "speak with the team" about many things but I doubt we'll get any real information/answers out of anything. Considering the majority of information we have for the game is player discovered and recently they have just been confirming our findings not providing much new information.

Not trying to be negative, just realistic based on their track history. Hopefully things can and will change and they can provide some actual information or plan of action but I am not preparing myself for this as to not be disappointed.

I'll summarize the answers:

"We have no plans to implement this"

Thank you,

Good Night !

Gonna be cleaning this thread up,

I get things said here are meant as a joke but please keep in mind that this place still has to follow the rules.

AdSense-based rules

Pornography, adult or mature content.

Any sexual role-playing and/or discussions of sexual activity.

Ehh, I was more or less talking about lore guys, not sexualizing Galka. Let's not take it quite that far.

Mods should have blue bars and names then we could say the blue is here, everyone scatter!

I respect your point of view but I feel SE has been a lot more transparent lately. They have more frequently been answering player questions about how things work (like triple and double shot rates recently, food effects, enfeebling effects and geomancy effects totally listed and so on). I think since it's more a live thing, they won't even be able to answer those kinds of things, and they won't be able to reveal months in advance what the game will have developed either b/c it's still not decided, or it just makes things hard to handle on the PR end. I think they'll answer everything else the best they can, and I think they're hoping mostly for lore questions given how they worded the announcement.

Relax, it's not that this will bear any fruit, I just think it's pointless, that's all, not trying to start a flame war.

EDIT: I also realize that an hour isn't enough the fix anything... wish it did, thats all. :(
Might be pointless to you, but not me. Getting to hear from the people that run the game I have loved for over a decade is a nice treat. Sorry you can not just enjoy things.

In AMA's the interviewee has the option to not answer / ignore questions they don't like or don't have time for. Developers will use this to dodge or avoid questions regarding game balance. They know it's broke, the Japanese players have made it more then clear, they just don't want to bother screwing with it. The high end enemy database needs an overhaul as too many of them have over powered large aoe moves that force players to resort to cheap tactics to win. Forcing players to be cheaper then your battle director is never a healthy game design choice. This situation is a result of them not doing any play testing with real players to get a feel for what the player base considers "overpowered / cheap" and what is felt to be a legitimate fight mechanic.
I never hear anything about the test server anymore, now that you mention it.

Allowing us to openly test battle content would have us devising the strategies prior to it being released on official and thus dramatically shortening it's life time. SE really is trying to strategy content's shelf life, so anything that would shorten it won't happen.

I plan to focus all of my questions around Blurred lance availability for ambuscade, and discount pricing on wardrobes on accounts that have at least one character with a Blurred lance.

Who needs an AMA when we got players that know exactly what the devs are thinking.

What do you think the over/under is on how many diphits say "the devs must not even play the game" after the AMA?

They will talk 95% about mounts, glamours, login campaings, ambuscade, master trial.

Do you have plans for server merges?. "Ignored question". White knights answers, server merges are not necessary if you want play in a high populated server go to asura.

Do you have plans to review H2H, Great axe, scythe, Archery, WS? "ignored question" White knight answer. The balance its fine our bandwagon jobs only kill 20 seconds faster trash content than your MNK, if you dont have GEO, COR mules for tri box all the content go to play FFXIV.

What do you think about the strategies are used to deal lv135 + enemies? Ignored question of course. White knight answer, its fine you should have SCH, GEO and AG ragnarok WAR for zergs if you dont you are not flexible player and you suck and return overwatch.

Then this topic will become a fight reasonable people vs white knights.
Probably this.

This is going to be a waste of time. Going to be a lot of Asura trolls asking the most idiotic questions. Like that Cheese Sandwich question so many years ago.

Only the internet can manage to be a crappy enough place to make saviors and social justice derogatory terms. Oh and different perspectives aren't difference of opinion, it's the other person is an idiot >.> sigh. Thread already bottomed out peace.
