[Infos en vrac] Fanfest Las Vegas & Live Letter XXXII

[Lyn A.]

La Fanfest Las Vegas avait lieu ce weekend et un certain nombre d'informations y ont été dévoilées. Commençons par la conférence d'ouverture !

STORMBLOOD - Extension 4.0 - Début d'été 2017
Trailer :
Site officiel (à surveiller régulièrement) : http://fr.finalfantasyxiv.com/stormblood/

- NouvEAUX jobS :
On sait depuis un moment déjà qu'aux moins 2 nouveaux jobs seront présents à la prochaine extension.
Comme le Dark Knight avait été annoncé à la fanfest 2014 par le superbe t-shirt Batman de Yoshida, c'est le Mage Rouge cette année qui a été fortement suggéré par son t-shirt Scarlet Witch (sur lequel on a lourdement insisté pendant la conférence d'ouverture).

SPOILER

Pour le(s) autre(s) job(s), les spéculations sont majeures : certains voient un danseur dans le trailer. D'autres un samouraï en la personne de Zenos yae Galvus. L'avenir et les prochaines fanfest nous en diront davantage.

- Destination : Ala Mhigo, sous le joug de l'empire Garlemald depuis 20 ans, et actuellement occupée par Zenos Yae Galvus, XIIe Legion.

SPOILER

- Niveau max : 70 (avec les nouvelles AF qui vont bien à priori)

SPOILER

- Revamp du système de combats. Révision des skills inutiles (pieds légers par exemple).

- Nouveaux primos : certains classiques à FF, d'autres originaux à FFXIV.

- Nouveaux Raids HL : possibilité d'une double histoire, une pour le contenu Normal et une différente pour le contenu Sadique.

- Eureka - The Forbidden Land, nouveau contenu similaire au Diadème (similaire mais différent). Utilisable pour upper sa relique. Disposera de monstres notoires respawn toutes les 72h type monstres de chasse.

- Agrandissement de l'inventaire : sera mis en place en plusieurs étapes pour le bien être et la stabilité des serveurs. "As much as humanly possible" according to yoshi

- 4e zone de résidence (localisation dévoilée prochainement).

Images en vrac (issues du trailer des nouvelles zones) :

SPOILER

Autres infos :
- Changement des specs minimums sous Windows. Core2Duo plus supporté. 32bits probablement plus supporté (il est plus que les gens !).
- Fin du support PS3 (Hallelujah !). Campagne de migration PS4 à venir (migration totalement gratuite, console non incluse :p).

Q&A FANFEST

Q: Any chance of time attack runs for dungeons?
A: Yes it's in planning, But there are people who use cheat tools. Until they can prevent this in ranking, it's on the back burner

Q: Is Alphaneud half Lalafell?
A: Young Elezen lol
Lore book explains how Elezens grow up

Q: Will we ever get to use scythe for DRK?
A: The person who designed that in 11 is now on FFXIV team. No plans, but if there is enough demand...

Q: Fat dodo mount?
A: Not planned atm

Q: Will Slepinar fly?
A: Please look forward to it

Q: Please remove accuracy
A: Accuracy system changing in Stormblood

Q: Open world PVP? From Joe
A: Won't be ready by the start of Stormblood, he's not against it... but wants feedback from the fans how'd they'd do it. Probably dedicated PVP servers if this would happen

Q: Cleric stance in duels?
A: No

Q: Increase in housing furniture limit?
A: In progress. Unsure if it'll be ready for Stormblood

Q: Hardest boss to develop?
A: The QTE in A11.

Q: Are we getting a bird mount for all the birds obtained?
A: 3.5

Q: Dyeable gear for The Creator?
A: They'll take it back to the dev team and find out

Q: More hairstyles obtained via dungeons/etc?
A: Probably, on a case by case basis

Q: Cameos from other characters like Locke?
A: 8bit characters hard to render... he won't say no. They do want to try for some characters

Q: Long curly hair style please
A: When we get a PS5? They can do the modeling but clipping is an issue

Q: Server merges ever?
A: 3.5 will give party finder for cross server. Allows chatting between worlds too. If after this, still issues, then they will review merges if needed

Q: Has Yoshi-P workload decreased at all?
A: He's been able to split the load like marketing. But he also does work for Square Enix executives outside FF14

Q: Can we have a delivery Moogle at the apartments?
A: Please look forward to it

Q: SMN, any buffs for Egi? Titan etc rarely used
A: It would take a lot of resources. If they do it, it wouldn't be until 4.0 or later

Q: More dying options?
A: Yoshi-P waves and leaves the stage. Comes back. PS5 needed, so it is probably too intensive for the current platforms. They'll take it back to dev team for advancing it in some way

Q: Doomtrain? And Godbert involved
A: But Godbert would win! Maybe this is something in 5.0

Q: Has work started on 5.0 at all?
A: They've decided where and who you'll fight in it

Q: Nintendo NX plans?
A: Can't say, but they'll tell fans if anything is official

Q: Egi glamors? Or new ones in 4.0?
A: Glamors in 3.5 most likely. Carbucle first. And colors! Hope to add Ramuh and Sephirot glamors later. Lv 50 quest. New Egi are a secret

Q: More monster themed housing items?
A: Housing team busy working on the new housing area, so maybe after that

Q: Squat emotes? Like our squadrons
A: Will check with dev team, maybe it's already being worked on

Q: Godbert trial fight?
A: Can't win! He's more powerful than WoL. And Savage would be his wife

Q: Housing market, any plans to change how housing is sold/expired?
A: No plans. Looking at a house moving system

Q: Open world level sync? And more open world content?
A: System wise, it's possible. It would take some time to debug, but it's a good idea!

LIVE LETTER XXXII - Fanfest Las Vegas
Résumé abrégé, mi français mi anglais. Je ferai pas mieux dans l'immédiat, la trad officielle sera dispo rapidement, comme d'hab.

- Useless question about Alexander & its story.

- Class choices incorporated in main story plots (ex : soigner Alisaie pour les healers / sauver Haurchefant) :
We'll try for Stormblood. But main events will stay the same (& dead NPC will stay dead)

- Uninteresting question about ONE skill of Dark Knight in PvP/PvE.
Q: Any plans to adjust Unleash in PVE?
A: Lots of feedback on this already, 3.45 auto attack will go back to how it was per this skill

- Escouade : 2 teams simultanés pour les missions 18h ?
Hmmmmmmmmm. Good idea, not impossible. BUt not high priority. Want to bring squadron in dungeon first.

- Fun time: Square/Circle . Crazy speak that don't translate well in French.
Q: Why is the dueling circle called that when it's a square?
A: Old English is used, it's a term. Maybe the PVP team will make the arena until a circle

- Apparence maison extérieure : non consommable ?
Pas possible actuellement et pas dans les prios. Par contre...

SPOILER

- Status Egi Pets.
3.5 : Carbuncle only & changing colors
Future updates : New Egi mirages (Ramuh, Sephi, etc.)

- Resets CD in Duels :
We'll look into it.

- Savage gear undyable. why ?
Ressources. Skin différent normal/sadique. THey'll try to add it later.

- New mount : Flying chair

SPOILER

- Preview : tenue de noel prochain

SPOILER

- RNG seems too tough in Wonderous Tails, can we spend extra Second Chances to move something?
IF it's too easy, we can't give so high price. So, no.

- Can we get a real window/balcony in housing?
Windows that looks like you're looking outside, we may be able to.
Rooftop share area may also be possible.
But looking at other players from other areas from your balcony. THat's technically not possible.

- Airship workshops in apartments or private housing?
NO.

- Improving quality of dungeon
We told the dev team to not let parties get lost in dungeons and aim for 20min runs. But using this can start to feel stale. In 3.x we tried adding something unique to each dungeon.
3.5 will be a battle on airship for the 24man raid

- Can we view alternative cutscenes like what's in 3.4?
Not possible right now.

- Can we get a Sophia costume?
Male bunny costume first

- Sophia skin tone is different from FF6, any lore reason?
Primals appearance depends one who summoned it. People were probably thinking that's what she looked like.

- Palais des mots, slideshow des nouveaux étages + preview auditive. (un boss en ref à Tactics Ogre)
