01:47:45.820 --> 01:47:46.820 Enough? 01:48:03.820 --> 01:48:08.820 So a number that small can kind of be frightening and intimidating for the development team, 01:48:08.820 --> 01:48:11.820 but I think we're ready to put it into high gear. 01:48:11.820 --> 01:48:15.820 So I officially give you permission to please look forward to it. 01:48:15.820 --> 01:48:36.340 Alright, so with the Heidelin and Zodiac saga complete, our second saga, Godless Rounds, 01:48:36.340 --> 01:48:41.340 is in full force, and with EverCold, we will be furthering this exciting storyline. 01:48:41.340 --> 01:48:55.940 All right, and this time, Warriors of Light will be visiting the reflection known as the 01:48:55.940 --> 01:49:06.940 force. 01:49:06.940 --> 01:49:20.740 I mean, I know we're not even finished with 7.5 and now you already know you're going. 01:49:20.740 --> 01:49:32.460 Alright, so the fourth is this reflection of Hydeland that has fallen into ruin. 01:49:32.460 --> 01:49:46.280 And it is slowly succumbing to the ever-spreading ice. 01:49:46.280 --> 01:49:50.680 And so how and with whom will you be making your journey then? 01:49:50.680 --> 01:50:03.680 And of course, what trials will await you upon your arrival? 01:50:03.680 --> 01:50:04.680 Maybe. 01:50:04.680 --> 01:50:19.680 And last but not least, who is this far wanderer or explorer mentioned in that Japanese subtitle? 01:50:19.680 --> 01:50:48.680 Fellow heroes and warriors of light, the next chapter in our fated tale is about to begin. 01:50:48.680 --> 01:50:53.680 But that's all I can say about the story for now, sorry. 01:51:07.080 --> 01:51:09.760 But again, there's a perfectly good reason for this. 01:51:09.760 --> 01:51:13.680 That being next Tuesday, patch 7.5 releases 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:15.960 and with it, the main scenario will be setting up 01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:17.960 the story for the shift to Evergold. 01:51:45.960 --> 01:51:52.080 So in other words, today you are all getting a little glimpse into the future, and hopefully 01:51:52.080 --> 01:51:56.860 it can help bring some clarity to the story that you've already seen in 7.4 and what you're 01:51:56.860 --> 01:52:08.700 going to see in 7.5 parts 1 and 2. 01:52:08.700 --> 01:52:11.400 But we can't just tell you that about the fourth. 01:52:11.400 --> 01:52:16.640 So, even though I can't talk much about it yet, Development of Forge is very much underway 01:52:16.640 --> 01:52:19.880 and so we want to show you a little bit more vision. 01:52:19.880 --> 01:52:37.520 Today, I've borrowed a few pieces of art and screenshots from our servers to give you 01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:43.760 a sneak peek of several of the new areas and get that speculation train rolling. 01:52:54.080 --> 01:52:59.440 Like I said, I can't reveal too much as of yet, so you won't be getting any official place names for 01:52:59.440 --> 01:53:03.280 now, but hopefully these images can help give you a better idea of what's to come. 01:53:03.280 --> 01:53:10.280 Alright, let's start with some of these underdevelopment screenshots. 01:53:18.280 --> 01:53:25.280 So here we have this giant crystalline object looming over the area. I think we also saw it in the trailer. 01:53:25.280 --> 01:53:43.760 And so if that smaller crystal in the foreground is something probably different, right? 01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:46.560 And then we have those ramparts that are kind of behind it as well. 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:47.560 So is that a castle? 01:53:47.560 --> 01:53:48.560 Is that a town? 01:53:48.560 --> 01:54:03.560 And here we have that same scene just a little bit closer up, that first crystal. 01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:07.600 And again, so that's probably an aetherite, and again, because this is a different reflection 01:54:07.600 --> 01:54:15.120 that's going to be in a different design than the ones we have on the course. 01:54:15.120 --> 01:54:26.360 Those boats on the lake also have a very unique design. 01:54:26.360 --> 01:54:38.400 And here we have what appears to be the statue of a giant dragon, is that? 01:54:38.400 --> 01:54:42.120 Our designers have put their best feet forward this time in an effort to create something 01:54:42.120 --> 01:54:52.120 that is feels new and fresh and truly unique from what we had before and here we have what 01:54:52.120 --> 01:54:56.200 appears to be some kind of lonely settlement in a somewhat arid, barren looking environment. 01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:09.560 And here it looks like it's dusk but if you look in the front of the shot you can see 01:55:09.560 --> 01:55:11.560 Something that looks like maybe airships. 01:55:11.560 --> 01:55:21.560 And of course their designs are quite different from what we've seen in previous expansions. 01:55:21.560 --> 01:55:30.560 And here we have the same area at night so we can see how the lighting will work. 01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:37.560 And here we have what looks like some fertile cropland. 01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:55.160 And there's also a giant structure in the background of this stick as well. 01:55:55.160 --> 01:55:58.600 And here you can see some sort of garden in the background, so it certainly looks like 01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:03.600 it's lived in. What adventures await you here? 01:56:03.600 --> 01:56:14.600 This is a change. It appears to be underground, but is it? 01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:20.600 We're currently working on the lighting on this one as well, so this is also one of those lighting tests. 01:56:20.600 --> 01:56:24.600 This looks like a town. 01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:26.600 This looks like it could be a city. 01:56:26.600 --> 01:56:32.600 This is a very unique design of the city. 01:56:32.600 --> 01:56:38.600 This is a very unique design of the city. 01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:43.600 Could this be inside the city? 01:56:43.600 --> 01:56:49.600 Or perhaps it's a gate to get inside? 01:56:49.600 --> 01:57:06.880 And I'm guessing this was taken at dawn or perhaps dusk. 01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:18.400 You can see the architecture that incorporates a blend of both organic and fantastical design. 01:57:18.400 --> 01:57:22.400 So as you can see, like I said, development of the new areas is in full swing. 01:57:26.400 --> 01:57:28.400 However, 01:57:28.400 --> 01:57:32.400 you mentioned that the ice has been absorbed by the power of ice, 01:57:32.400 --> 01:57:36.400 but in the fourth world, it's in a very diverse state. 01:57:36.400 --> 01:57:41.400 So I know that I mentioned earlier that the force was ravaged by ice, 01:57:41.400 --> 01:57:43.400 and it's called EverCold, 01:57:43.400 --> 01:57:47.400 but as you probably noticed, a lot of those screenshots were decidedly un-icey. 01:57:48.400 --> 01:57:58.400 Well, we've just watched the screen shot, but the production is still in the middle stage, so I'm going to take a look at the artwork. 01:58:10.400 --> 01:58:14.400 Well, there's a lot of raw art coming out, so please enjoy it. 01:58:18.400 --> 01:58:22.400 There is no giant crystal, so it looks like another place. 01:58:31.400 --> 01:58:35.400 There is a giant crystal, but this is different from the previous one. 01:58:35.400 --> 01:58:41.400 And here we have another giant crystal, but it's hard to tell if this is the one that's from before. 01:58:41.400 --> 01:58:44.400 It's probably not, but the design is a little bit different. 01:58:49.400 --> 01:58:55.400 And this looks like some sort of garden possibly stacked upon the top of the building. 01:59:05.400 --> 01:59:11.400 Again, I mean, I thought this world was supposed to be ravaged by ice, but it looks pretty hot in this side. 01:59:22.400 --> 01:59:28.400 And again, this is somewhat different than what we've seen so far, the architecture being a little bit more dark and gothic. 01:59:35.400 --> 01:59:39.400 This is an art that seems to be a bit related to the screenshot earlier. 01:59:51.400 --> 01:59:58.400 In Final Fantasy 14, we have created a huge artwork like this, 01:59:58.400 --> 02:00:01.400 and made the world more inspiring. 02:00:05.400 --> 02:00:10.200 on sort of riverside shacks and basically it's this artwork that we build the foundation and get 02:00:10.200 --> 02:00:15.000 our inspiration from for these areas. 02:00:23.640 --> 02:00:31.160 This location has a decidedly mechanical feel to it. Is it a town? Is it a dungeon? Is it a tower? 02:00:31.160 --> 02:00:33.160 Is it a tower dungeon? 02:00:41.880 --> 02:00:49.720 And this is the same location, but from a different angle, um, you can kind of look closely up there and maybe see what looks like a rough sketch of an airship. 02:00:54.840 --> 02:00:58.280 Yeah, it's hard to tell from this what type of world it's going to be. 02:01:01.160 --> 02:01:15.560 And of course, the force is not a world without danger. 02:01:15.560 --> 02:01:19.960 This time, that danger is going to be massive. 02:01:19.960 --> 02:01:21.960 What's that? 02:01:21.960 --> 02:01:28.960 What's that? 02:01:28.960 --> 02:01:42.100 So what in the world could this strange creature be? 02:01:42.100 --> 02:01:48.800 Who or what exactly are these strange colossi who wander the force? 02:01:48.800 --> 02:01:55.840 I mean, what we can say is that there's not going to be just one. 02:01:55.840 --> 02:02:07.080 There's actually many of these roaming the forest. 02:02:07.080 --> 02:02:10.520 Are they friend or are they foe or are they gods? 02:02:10.520 --> 02:02:24.000 For now, you'll have to let your imagination decide. 02:02:24.000 --> 02:02:27.400 Alright, next up, I'd like to show you some of the town areas. 02:02:27.400 --> 02:02:49.100 From the looks of this artwork, the feel is quite fantastical, and this is very representative 02:02:49.100 --> 02:02:56.480 of the art direction for Evercold. 02:02:56.480 --> 02:03:03.480 But again, this is just one of multiple town areas that will be appearing in the expansion. 02:03:03.480 --> 02:03:17.480 Okay, yeah, this is a close-up of that town from before. 02:03:17.480 --> 02:03:19.940 Yeah, this is definitely a market. 02:03:19.940 --> 02:03:20.940 Definitely. 02:03:20.940 --> 02:03:26.940 Oh, it's a different kind of city. 02:03:26.940 --> 02:03:31.140 And again, this town area also has some very distinct features. 02:03:31.140 --> 02:03:32.140 Yeah. 02:03:32.140 --> 02:03:35.140 It's a big hole there in the middle. 02:03:35.140 --> 02:03:38.140 It looks like a pretty big hole there in the middle. 02:03:38.140 --> 02:03:45.140 You're going to want to jump in there, right? 02:03:45.140 --> 02:03:46.140 Yeah. 02:03:46.140 --> 02:03:49.140 Well, please be careful. 02:03:54.140 --> 02:03:56.140 It's a beautiful town, by the way. 02:04:00.140 --> 02:04:04.140 Well, well, if you're going to introduce the town like this, 02:04:04.140 --> 02:04:07.140 it's important to be careful. 02:04:07.140 --> 02:04:15.140 If you talk about towns, who lives in the towns? 02:04:15.140 --> 02:04:16.140 No town. 02:04:16.140 --> 02:04:17.140 No town. 02:04:17.140 --> 02:04:18.140 This is not a town. 02:04:18.140 --> 02:04:19.140 No, obviously. 02:04:19.140 --> 02:04:20.140 No town. 02:04:20.140 --> 02:04:21.140 Is that a cat? 02:04:21.140 --> 02:04:22.140 Is that a kitty? 02:04:22.140 --> 02:04:23.140 Kitty! 02:04:23.140 --> 02:04:24.140 Kitty! 02:04:24.140 --> 02:04:36.140 Yes, this probably looks like one of our new races. 02:04:36.140 --> 02:04:49.540 are new races that we're gonna meet on the fourth? 02:04:49.540 --> 02:04:54.300 I mean that is definitely a cat so but is it the only type of NPC that you're going to meet? 02:04:54.300 --> 02:05:00.940 Well who else awaits the warrior of light on the fourth? 02:05:00.940 --> 02:05:02.940 Okay. Is this the kiddie town? 02:05:02.940 --> 02:05:07.940 Yeah. 02:05:07.940 --> 02:05:10.940 Yeah. 02:05:10.940 --> 02:05:17.940 Yeah. 02:05:17.940 --> 02:05:23.940 Yes. Discovering these new areas and exploring is always an exciting part of a new expansion. 02:05:23.940 --> 02:05:52.940 Alright, so I think that's all I can tell you right now about The Force. 02:05:52.940 --> 02:05:58.940 Again, we have more finished content, but we're going to withhold from showing that right now, 02:05:58.940 --> 02:06:03.940 and that's mainly because we don't want to spoil what's coming up in patch 7.5. 02:06:03.940 --> 02:06:09.940 Main quest is part 1 and part 2, and we will deliver it in half. 02:06:09.940 --> 02:06:16.940 As with previous lead-ups to expansions, this part of the main story will be split into two halves. 02:06:16.940 --> 02:06:35.940 That said, by the time our fan festival in Berlin rolls around, I should have more to reveal about the expansion's exciting new setting, The Force. 02:06:35.940 --> 02:06:38.940 Now, let's move on to the next question. 02:06:44.940 --> 02:06:47.940 This is 8.0 EverCold. 02:06:47.940 --> 02:06:51.940 From here, let's talk about the story and the world. 02:06:51.940 --> 02:07:01.940 How does the game called Final Fantasy XIV expand? 02:07:05.940 --> 02:07:07.740 and setting for 8.0. 02:07:07.740 --> 02:07:11.180 Next, I would like to touch upon what sort of game design 02:07:11.180 --> 02:07:14.380 updates are in store for Evercold. 02:07:14.380 --> 02:07:18.320 Final Fantasy, first of all, why are you 02:07:18.320 --> 02:07:21.380 holding your hand on the large-scale design of the game? 02:07:21.380 --> 02:07:24.340 Please explain the reason for that. 02:07:24.340 --> 02:07:25.980 So first, before I want to begin, 02:07:25.980 --> 02:07:27.980 I want to talk a little bit about why 02:07:27.980 --> 02:07:30.460 we're putting such an emphasis on evolving 02:07:30.460 --> 02:07:34.260 the content and game design of Final Fantasy 14. 02:07:34.260 --> 02:07:44.960 Well, first, Final Fantasy 14 was released in 2010, after the release of version 1.0, and then it was released in 2013. 02:07:55.660 --> 02:07:58.260 Are there any players who play from 1.0? 02:08:00.560 --> 02:08:02.260 Oh, there are so many! 02:08:02.260 --> 02:08:04.800 Thank you so much. 02:08:04.800 --> 02:08:05.480 Thank you. 02:08:05.480 --> 02:08:09.640 Now, ARR, RM Reborn, come around and Reborn. 02:08:09.640 --> 02:08:13.120 Thank you so much. 02:08:13.120 --> 02:08:20.740 And so, so far, I've been interacting with the players of the light. 02:08:20.740 --> 02:08:25.960 So we've covered a lot of ground on our journey together ever since. 02:08:25.960 --> 02:08:48.440 So we've expanded the game via six unique expansions, a Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, 02:08:48.440 --> 02:08:51.320 Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and Dawn Trail. 02:09:03.920 --> 02:09:06.220 And during that time, we've welcomed to Eorzea 02:09:06.220 --> 02:09:09.660 almost 35 million Warriors of Light 02:09:09.660 --> 02:09:11.160 from all over the globe. 02:09:12.720 --> 02:09:15.160 Almost made it to 30, almost. 02:09:15.160 --> 02:09:16.000 Yes. 02:09:16.000 --> 02:09:16.840 35 million. 02:09:18.440 --> 02:09:22.440 34 million? 02:09:22.440 --> 02:09:24.440 800! 02:09:24.440 --> 02:09:26.440 That's just so close. 02:09:26.440 --> 02:09:30.440 In the last 13 years, 02:09:30.440 --> 02:09:33.440 even from the birth, 02:09:33.440 --> 02:09:38.440 you and I have changed a lot. 02:09:38.440 --> 02:09:43.440 You have changed a lot in life. 02:09:43.440 --> 02:09:45.440 But in those 13 years 02:09:45.440 --> 02:09:52.480 a realm reborn, the world has changed. You have changed. I have changed. The development team 02:09:52.480 --> 02:09:56.720 has changed. We have all changed, as have our lives and lifestyles. 02:10:09.680 --> 02:10:14.720 And while there is certainly something comforting about a product that remains 02:10:14.720 --> 02:10:20.240 unchanging with time. On the other hand, with a lack of change can come something else. 02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:34.080 Tom Stones. So many. So many. Keep going. More and more Tom Stones. 02:10:34.080 --> 02:11:03.880 And again, you know, this is not something that you'd expect me, the director, saying, 02:11:03.880 --> 02:11:08.200 But I get it. It's been 13 years. That's a lot of elegant home stones. 02:11:09.800 --> 02:11:14.200 And while again, it's comforting to be doing the same thing again and again, but... 02:11:27.880 --> 02:11:33.240 So from a realm reborn through to Dawn Trail, we on the development team have remained consistent 02:11:33.240 --> 02:11:37.880 with our game design in order to bring players a comfortable and enjoyable gaming experience. 02:11:46.760 --> 02:11:51.880 And because of that, we've been able to grow to where we are today, but we're going to go in a 02:11:51.880 --> 02:12:10.960 in a different direction for 8.0. 02:12:10.960 --> 02:12:15.600 Again, the thing is, with consistency can come that fatigue that we talked about. 02:12:15.600 --> 02:12:21.800 And so, to escape the inevitable, FF14 must change and evolve, not only bringing more 02:12:21.800 --> 02:12:43.400 excitement to the game, but also adapting so that it can better meet our changing lives. 02:12:43.400 --> 02:12:47.400 And that evolution starts with 8.0 and EverCold. 02:12:47.400 --> 02:12:53.320 And from here and throughout the 8.x series, it is our aim to take Final Fantasy XIV to 02:12:53.320 --> 02:12:55.640 the next level and beyond. 02:12:55.640 --> 02:13:16.480 And again, that journey begins with us, the developers on Final Fantasy XIV, to ensure 02:13:16.480 --> 02:13:22.080 that we can maintain a high level of motivation, allowing us to bring you the best gaming experience 02:13:22.080 --> 02:13:28.720 possible, we too must become the explorers that were mentioned in the game's Japanese subtitle, 02:13:28.720 --> 02:13:33.600 exploring new ways to take Final Fantasy to the next level together. 02:13:33.600 --> 02:13:53.120 So, what sort of updates, what sort of evolution are we planning when it comes to game design? 02:13:53.120 --> 02:14:17.120 And again, there is a lot to cover. So, so much that we're going to need all three of our fanfests here in Anaheim in Berlin and in Tokyo to cover it all. 02:14:17.120 --> 02:14:25.880 But today we laid the foundation. 02:14:25.880 --> 02:14:33.600 And that foundation we're going to explain today. 02:14:33.600 --> 02:14:37.320 What's this? 02:14:37.320 --> 02:14:51.080 this. So what do we have here? I can tell you what it's not and it's not certainly the 02:14:51.080 --> 02:15:04.800 old character widget. So now this is our completely new adventure activity UI. 02:15:04.800 --> 02:15:12.800 Well, we're running a lot of things, so I'll explain it in detail. 02:15:17.800 --> 02:15:27.800 First of all, we're going to change from daily to weekly. 02:15:34.800 --> 02:15:41.800 system. 02:15:41.800 --> 02:15:57.400 So the current duty roulette comes with a wide array of daily bonuses attached to these 02:15:57.400 --> 02:16:04.280 So, efficiently, to collect around 450 tomstones, 02:16:04.280 --> 02:16:08.780 we need to use daily bonus, 02:16:08.780 --> 02:16:14.780 and as a result, we are going to collect the most efficient and good aragant tomstones, 02:16:14.780 --> 02:16:21.780 and we are going to repeat the X-Pan and the roulette. 02:16:21.780 --> 02:16:30.780 So, efficiently obtaining 450 Tone Stones a week means making full use of those daily bonuses. 02:16:30.780 --> 02:16:39.780 In other words, you hop on the duty roulette extreme, kind of go through the least time-consuming dungeons as possible, rinse and repeat. 02:16:39.780 --> 02:16:45.780 Well, I think this is going to be a big factor in autumn if we continue to do this for decades. 02:16:45.780 --> 02:16:48.780 And this is mostly how it's been for 10 plus years. 02:16:48.780 --> 02:16:53.780 So it's hard not to see how some players kind of have begun to grow weary of this. 02:16:53.780 --> 02:17:01.780 Well, that's why EverCold is trying to change the character of your life cycle and the time of the place. 02:17:01.780 --> 02:17:13.780 So with EverCold, we are looking to change this from a daily to a weekly system 02:17:13.780 --> 02:17:17.780 to better fit the many different play styles and lifestyles of our users 02:17:17.780 --> 02:17:21.780 to help you better allocate your limited free time. 02:17:21.780 --> 02:17:50.860 So this new adventure activity interface that you see here is to help facilitate that change 02:17:50.860 --> 02:17:55.740 from daily to weekly. The idea is that from this screen here, Warriors of Light will be able to 02:17:55.740 --> 02:18:01.180 manage their character growth, their gear upgrades, their duty progression, their weekly progress, 02:18:01.180 --> 02:18:02.860 and more all from this screen. 02:18:02.860 --> 02:18:24.860 Okay, but please note, again, that this is all still very much in development. 02:18:24.860 --> 02:18:28.860 This is an early mock-up and is extremely likely to change before release. 02:18:28.860 --> 02:18:38.860 All right, so I want to go into a little bit more detail on what we mean by a weekly system. 02:18:58.860 --> 02:19:12.860 So for example, from the screen, players can take stock of all the different duties or missions that are available to play and see how many activity points can be earned by completing each mission. 02:19:12.860 --> 02:19:22.860 Attaining points will then raise your activity level and unlocking, when your activity level goes up, you unlock all sorts of gear and other exciting rewards. 02:19:22.860 --> 02:19:31.860 Well, this is a sample, so we'll take it from here rather than making it too detailed. 02:19:40.860 --> 02:19:46.860 Well, the main quest complete is only once you achieve it, 02:19:46.860 --> 02:19:54.860 You can repeat the same process in the other projects, so you can choose what you want to do. 02:19:54.860 --> 02:20:03.860 You can play various play styles, and if you play 14, you can progress in the adventure and get rewards. 02:20:03.860 --> 02:20:10.860 So some missions, like the main scenario quest on top there, can only be completed once for points. 02:20:10.860 --> 02:20:17.660 But other missions, such as those below, will be repeatable, allowing you to earn points multiple times. 02:20:17.660 --> 02:20:24.160 Basically, what we want to do is allow all players of all different types, each with their own unique playstyle, 02:20:24.160 --> 02:20:29.060 to feel that they're being rewarded for playing Final Fantasy XIV as you normally would. 02:20:29.060 --> 02:20:32.160 For doing what you want to do, you're getting that reward. 02:20:32.160 --> 02:21:01.280 Okay, so one thing that we've had a lot of feedback before in these past years is that, say, 02:21:01.280 --> 02:21:07.200 You didn't get all 450 elegant home stones from last week and you'd really like to have 02:21:07.200 --> 02:21:24.640 a chance to now to get the ones that you missed the week before. 02:21:24.640 --> 02:21:29.720 So now we're currently considering adding a feature that allows you to earn any unearned 02:21:29.720 --> 02:21:34.280 points from one week prior, as long as you've learned, earned all your points from this week. 02:21:34.920 --> 02:21:36.440 You can go back one week. 02:21:59.720 --> 02:22:08.720 So again, by evolving from a daily to a weekly cycle, it will allow you as players more options to choose how you want to play. 02:22:08.720 --> 02:22:11.720 Do you want to log in a little bit each day? That's fine. 02:22:11.720 --> 02:22:18.720 Do you want to take off the weekdays and then maybe come in and focus on weeks worth of play on Saturday and Sunday? 02:22:18.720 --> 02:22:25.720 That's okay too. You decide your in-game schedule based on your own real-world schedule without any penalties. 02:22:29.720 --> 02:22:34.720 All right, let's continue on. 02:22:34.720 --> 02:22:52.720 All right, and we have some changes for item level progression as well. 02:22:52.720 --> 02:22:58.720 All right, so up until now, there has really only existed two consistent means of increasing item level. 02:22:58.720 --> 02:23:05.000 One is to clear the sub-age of the raid and get the gear directly. 02:23:05.000 --> 02:23:08.580 One is collecting gear from Savage Raid. 02:23:08.580 --> 02:23:16.420 And the other is to store the Aragan Thompson to replace it. 02:23:16.420 --> 02:23:19.720 And two being the Tom Stone exchange. 02:23:19.720 --> 02:23:26.840 But in this case, the Kisupatch, for example, 7.12 or 7.3, 02:23:26.840 --> 02:23:49.840 The problem with this, however, is that it locks players into certain content, while creating a content gap every other patch during those odd patches, like point 1s and the point 3s. 02:23:49.840 --> 02:23:54.840 And this can end up lowering motivation for some players during that time. 02:23:54.840 --> 02:23:59.840 In fact, if you look over there, there's a menu called Savage Gear. 02:23:59.840 --> 02:24:02.840 Oh yeah, Savage Gear, right up there, the top of that tab? 02:24:02.840 --> 02:24:09.840 Well, I don't know what to say about that, but I'm not sure how to manage it. 02:24:09.840 --> 02:24:12.840 Yeah, you're going to have to wait for details. Sorry. 02:24:12.840 --> 02:24:32.840 We're still in a process of getting everything ready and deciding on all of the different features of this, 02:24:32.840 --> 02:24:35.840 so we want to make sure that we're finished with it before telling you. 02:24:35.840 --> 02:24:38.840 So that's why it's going to take a little bit more time, so please wait until Tokyo. 02:24:42.840 --> 02:24:43.840 next up. 02:24:43.840 --> 02:25:10.440 All right, so to coincide with these changes, as well as make it easier to discern increases 02:25:10.440 --> 02:25:16.400 in item level cap and the exact progression of your character will be implementing something 02:25:16.400 --> 02:25:25.080 that you see a lot in other games, and that is a season system. Season. Season? Like free-to-play, 02:25:25.080 --> 02:25:38.000 season pass, extra fees. No. No. No. No. No. No. What do you mean? What's the season? 02:25:38.000 --> 02:25:50.000 No, no, no, I was just told by my teacher that there is a season pass, so I asked everyone to buy a season pass, or if there is a tax, or if it's going to be F2P, or something like that. 02:25:50.000 --> 02:25:55.360 Okay, so I know some of you might hear seasons and be like oh my god this 02:25:55.360 --> 02:26:01.000 mean free to play does it mean that we have to buy a season pass? Absolutely not. 02:26:01.000 --> 02:26:02.000 No. 02:26:02.000 --> 02:26:13.000 So yes please rest easy this is not what we mean by season we're going to explain. 02:26:13.000 --> 02:26:31.880 And again, this is just to make it easier to understand what we're talking about. 02:26:31.880 --> 02:26:36.280 When you say patch, sometimes it can be confusing, especially if you have multiple patches as 02:26:36.280 --> 02:26:38.160 one kind of unit. 02:26:38.160 --> 02:26:42.120 So we're basically using the word season to make this a lot easier to understand. 02:26:42.120 --> 02:26:49.040 In the first place, the level of item level is released in Goose patch, 02:26:49.040 --> 02:26:54.800 and I think Goose patch and Kizu patch were like a one-season game. 02:27:12.120 --> 02:27:32.720 So we're not getting rid of patches, we're still going to have patches like we normally do, 02:27:32.720 --> 02:27:37.400 but these blocks of two patches, patch the even patches and the odd patches, we're going 02:27:37.400 --> 02:27:52.280 to call these set of two patches a season. So again, when Evercold launches, 8.0 and 02:27:52.280 --> 02:27:56.560 8.1, the patch that comes after is going to be our first season in Evercold. 02:28:07.400 --> 02:28:16.400 And also, right now, you know, the gap between patches has started to get a little bit bigger in these past few years. 02:28:16.400 --> 02:28:21.400 Hopefully, we're going to try to get those a little bit closer together in the coming years. 02:28:21.400 --> 02:28:26.400 But we'll have more on that in a future Final Fantasy Festival. 02:28:31.400 --> 02:28:36.400 Alright, another way we're looking to evolve game design in Final Fantasy 14 is 02:28:36.400 --> 02:29:05.400 So if there's one thing that has been absolutely clear during my time with Final Fantasy XIV, it is how much all of you love your in-game avatars. 02:29:06.400 --> 02:29:32.400 How strong they are, how attractive they are, how appealing they are to both you and others, these are all very important to every warrior of light. 02:29:32.400 --> 02:29:33.400 of light. 02:29:33.400 --> 02:29:40.400 So with Evercold and the evolution of the player character, and the process of making your 02:29:40.400 --> 02:29:55.040 characters, we want to make sure that your character can be as unique as you are, and have made 02:29:55.040 --> 02:29:58.640 this a focal point of our game design choices moving forward. 02:29:58.640 --> 02:30:04.640 Let's talk about what we have in store. 02:30:26.240 --> 02:30:27.920 Okay, and again, that changes 02:30:27.920 --> 02:30:31.520 start with even this new UI. See how we have the character there? 02:30:31.520 --> 02:30:36.720 We'll make that character fully poseable so you can customize it based on how you're feeling 02:30:36.720 --> 02:30:41.120 at the time. Those backgrounds, that's where you're going, where you open it. That's going to be the 02:30:41.120 --> 02:30:44.640 background that you see, but the character will be fully customizable in this as well. 02:30:53.680 --> 02:30:57.680 Okay, but that's just the beginning. The first thing we want to talk about today 02:30:57.680 --> 02:30:59.680 is an armory system update. 02:30:59.680 --> 02:31:17.680 Again, the armory system is something that's gone pretty much untouched for the past 13 years. 02:31:17.680 --> 02:31:29.680 Final Fantasy XIV's armor system has the ability to play all the jobs in one character, which is a very big merit, so of course that's what's left of it. 02:31:29.680 --> 02:31:40.680 So again, as you know, the armor system has set us apart from other MMOs in that it allows players to experience multiple classes and jobs with just a single character. 02:31:40.680 --> 02:31:41.680 That's not going to change. 02:31:53.680 --> 02:31:58.680 But again, that also means that gear and item level are also specific for each job. 02:31:58.680 --> 02:32:04.520 job, and this forces players who want to specialize in multiple jobs to gather gear and increase 02:32:04.520 --> 02:32:20.680 item level for each job separately. 02:32:20.680 --> 02:32:25.680 So in 8.0, jobs will still exist, and you'll still have to level them separately. 02:32:25.680 --> 02:32:42.680 But now players will be able to reflect their highest item level to other jobs. 02:32:55.680 --> 02:33:24.800 Okay, we're still hammering out the details. 02:33:24.800 --> 02:33:29.100 So, again, this won't include stat boosts awarded by material. 02:33:29.100 --> 02:33:35.500 We still want players that really want to maximize things to have something that gives them motivation for that. 02:33:35.500 --> 02:33:41.500 However, when you want to help out the RAID sub-Age, 02:33:41.500 --> 02:33:46.500 you might not be able to help out with the item level and gear, 02:33:46.500 --> 02:33:51.500 but I think it will be easier to play with a number of jobs. 02:34:05.500 --> 02:34:09.380 to go as one job but it hadn't been leveled up and you wouldn't be able to go. 02:34:09.380 --> 02:34:10.380 Now! 02:34:10.380 --> 02:34:28.620 And we still have a lot of details to tell you in the future, but again, this is opening 02:34:28.620 --> 02:34:33.740 up the game for more players to play a lot of different ways rather than being kind 02:34:33.740 --> 02:34:38.140 forced into one job. So please look forward to the information that we have in the coming months. 02:34:45.260 --> 02:34:46.380 We still got a lot more. 02:34:57.020 --> 02:35:00.540 Next up we're looking to introduce character action skins. 02:35:03.740 --> 02:35:30.740 So V&B's new rewards, players can now customize their characters with additional animations designed for specific player character actions. 02:35:30.740 --> 02:35:34.500 With this you can further set apart your avatar from everyone else 02:35:43.940 --> 02:35:47.580 Sorry have to wait and tell Berlin it's July though 02:35:52.060 --> 02:35:56.120 We were gonna show it here, but we couldn't get the sample ready in time sorry 02:35:56.120 --> 02:36:01.120 But we have more. 02:36:01.120 --> 02:36:16.120 All right, and thirdly, we are planning on broadening character creation options. 02:36:16.120 --> 02:36:17.120 and options. 02:36:17.120 --> 02:36:42.520 Alright, so thanks to the massive graphical update we introduced back in 7.0, our character 02:36:42.520 --> 02:36:47.220 creation system is now capable of handling an even bigger load, so we will be offering 02:36:47.220 --> 02:37:03.160 much more in the way of customizing your in-game avatar. 02:37:03.160 --> 02:37:09.160 So here are some, a handful of some of the features that we're looking to add. 02:37:09.160 --> 02:37:23.160 I'll say, so a lot of these are very, very, you know, small things. 02:37:23.160 --> 02:37:29.160 We don't have any butt sliders. 02:37:29.160 --> 02:37:31.160 Sorry, no butt sliders. 02:37:31.160 --> 02:37:33.160 Get! Get! 02:38:01.160 --> 02:38:15.640 So up until now, hair color, skin tone, and eyes have all been, you had to choose from 02:38:15.640 --> 02:38:17.200 set presets. 02:38:17.200 --> 02:38:21.520 Now we're going to introduce a color picker for these three things allowing you far, 02:38:21.520 --> 02:38:24.960 far more options to customize your character. 02:38:24.960 --> 02:38:38.460 Again, so colors that you couldn't have used before, now most of them are going to be open for use. 02:38:38.460 --> 02:38:53.460 And again, it's hard to tell in the screenshot, but not just the skin tones and the hair color, but also the eyes as well. 02:38:53.460 --> 02:38:58.460 Yeah, like this as well. 02:38:58.460 --> 02:39:14.460 Yeah, this is all about individuality and what you want to do in creating styles that were impossible before. 02:39:14.460 --> 02:39:31.460 Next, let's take a look at improved iris and lip customization, as well as the new eye shadow feature. 02:39:31.460 --> 02:39:36.460 So this is now. 02:39:36.460 --> 02:39:47.460 And again, it's very detailed. It's kind of hard to tell, but if you look closely, 02:39:47.460 --> 02:40:00.460 So like iris size, the highlights. 02:40:00.460 --> 02:40:06.460 the highlights around the eyes, whether you want it off or on or stronger or lighter. 02:40:06.460 --> 02:40:17.460 And we have a screenshot that shows close up of the face as well. 02:40:17.460 --> 02:40:21.460 You can do it like this as well. It's see around the eyes. 02:40:21.460 --> 02:40:50.460 And so again, things like lip glossiness or eye shadow or being able to layer the face painting, all these different things we are planning on adding to have you be able to customize your character even more. 02:40:50.460 --> 02:41:01.820 All right. And finally, I mentioned the toggling on and off certain parts on pieces of gear. 02:41:01.820 --> 02:41:02.820 Let's take a look at that. 02:41:04.820 --> 02:41:07.740 Okay, so this is what we have now. 02:41:08.660 --> 02:41:10.340 Switch off. 02:41:10.340 --> 02:41:11.580 Switch off. 02:41:11.580 --> 02:41:33.160 So you can see that for this piece of gear, we are able to turn off as a set the leather 02:41:33.160 --> 02:41:36.340 belt, the shoulder pauldrons and the tassets at the waist. 02:41:36.340 --> 02:41:40.060 So you can think of this along the lines of what you can already do with your helmet 02:41:40.060 --> 02:41:41.060 and the visors. 02:41:41.060 --> 02:41:44.740 It's that kind of thing you get on off. So all on or all off like this. 02:41:47.780 --> 02:41:52.100 We have something that's also just not armor as well like all the other gear we'll have this. 02:41:52.100 --> 02:42:18.100 So now you have the freedom to better coordinate your look based on the seasons, your mood, or whatever. 02:42:22.100 --> 02:42:29.100 Okay, so the options that I just showed here, these are all planned for the 8.0 release. 02:42:29.100 --> 02:42:53.120 Okay, so the options that I just showed here, these are all planned for the 8.0 release. 02:42:53.120 --> 02:42:58.300 But updates to character customization are something that we plan on continuing throughout 02:42:58.300 --> 02:43:03.300 the 8.X series. So in 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 we'll have even more things. 02:43:03.300 --> 02:43:05.300 Yoshida-san? 02:43:05.300 --> 02:43:10.300 Yoshida-san? But slider? 8.2? No? 02:43:10.300 --> 02:43:14.300 I got it, I got it. I'll try. 02:43:14.300 --> 02:43:24.300 I'm going to give you a little bit more of my motivation to play this game. 02:43:24.300 --> 02:43:31.300 I'm going to accelerate the game design, which focuses on the spirit of light, and the spirit of self. 02:43:31.300 --> 02:43:35.780 Ultimately, these changes are about making sure that you, the Warrior of Light, 02:43:35.780 --> 02:43:39.300 are the centerpiece of your adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, 02:43:39.300 --> 02:43:42.100 and we are committed to taking strides to see that happen. 02:43:42.100 --> 02:43:49.700 Again, I know we've gone over a lot, but we're not even close to being done. 02:43:49.700 --> 02:44:00.580 The evolution of Final Fantasy XIV doesn't stop 02:44:00.580 --> 02:44:06.980 with game design, we're also looking to improve upon our in-game content. Starting with this, 02:44:18.820 --> 02:44:22.980 we want to improve player experience in the public field areas. 02:44:30.580 --> 02:44:43.580 And that means adding more dynamic events and more content for players to try out in each area, in order to truly master those areas. 02:45:00.580 --> 02:45:05.580 And again, with the majority of daily player activity being relegated to the duty finder, 02:45:05.580 --> 02:45:10.580 public fields can feel kind of lonely and underused, and that's our fault. 02:45:23.580 --> 02:45:27.580 And again, we want to fix that, creating more exciting dynamic content. 02:45:27.580 --> 02:45:32.020 And of course, we'll be working on making sure that those areas remain stable. 02:45:32.020 --> 02:45:35.940 We don't want any problems with too many debuffs crashing the servers. 02:45:35.940 --> 02:45:36.940 Alright? 02:45:36.940 --> 02:45:52.380 And again, we're also looking to improve how quests are played. 02:45:52.380 --> 02:46:08.380 Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy series numbering title is one that takes its story seriously 02:46:08.380 --> 02:46:18.380 and puts a big emphasis on stories. 02:46:18.380 --> 02:46:22.540 And that means we've avoided a lot of system side guidance 02:46:22.540 --> 02:46:27.500 seen in many other modern games when it comes to progressing through main and side quests. 02:46:39.900 --> 02:46:44.140 So moving forward, we plan on introducing some quality of life features 02:46:44.140 --> 02:46:46.620 that will help ease the burden of questing. 02:46:46.620 --> 02:47:03.620 That said, we have a lot on our shoulders right now, so we'll have more come Berlin. 02:47:03.620 --> 02:47:06.620 And of course, we'll be evolving our Babo content as well. 02:47:33.620 --> 02:47:49.620 We are going to add a third difficulty level, not above, but in between the two. 02:47:49.620 --> 02:48:19.600 So again, if you look at the clear rates of our normal rates, it's about 85% for the 02:48:19.600 --> 02:48:26.880 normal but when you get up to Savage it's only about 20% max so what we want is a way to shore up 02:48:26.880 --> 02:48:34.400 this difficulty gap between the two offering new ways for more players to experience these raids 02:48:34.400 --> 02:48:37.200 and improve their gear. 02:48:49.600 --> 02:48:56.600 And again, what you're probably all thinking is about what are the rewards going to be like for this. 02:48:56.600 --> 02:49:02.600 And again, it's all about how much you're going to be able to grow your gear. 02:49:02.600 --> 02:49:06.600 And I think that's the key to this project. 02:49:06.600 --> 02:49:09.600 I think that's the key to this project. 02:49:09.600 --> 02:49:12.600 I think that's the key to this project. 02:49:12.600 --> 02:49:15.600 I think that's the key to this project. 02:49:15.600 --> 02:49:18.400 thinking is about what are the rewards going to be like for this. 02:49:18.400 --> 02:49:23.120 And again, it's all about creating that third route that allows more players to have that 02:49:23.120 --> 02:49:26.760 opportunity to improve their gear and their item levels. 02:49:26.760 --> 02:49:28.800 And this is going to be one of those routes. 02:49:28.800 --> 02:49:42.560 But don't worry, hardcore gamers, we still have Ultimate for you. 02:49:45.600 --> 02:49:48.600 We're going to continue updating Ultimate as well. 02:49:48.600 --> 02:49:49.600 What? 02:49:50.600 --> 02:49:52.600 You can't hear me. 02:49:52.600 --> 02:49:55.600 Ultimate Zetsu. 02:49:55.600 --> 02:49:59.600 Yeah. We won't forget about the hardcore gamers. 02:49:59.600 --> 02:50:01.600 What? 02:50:01.600 --> 02:50:03.600 It's okay. I got you. 02:50:05.600 --> 02:50:14.600 I'd like to announce that the eight-person raid is more detailed than the nine-person raid. 02:50:14.600 --> 02:50:20.600 And like it says there, we'll have more about these new 8% rates in this third difficulty level in Berlin. 02:50:32.600 --> 02:50:39.600 As for alliance rates, we understand that these can prove to be quite the time sink for a lot of players. 02:50:44.600 --> 02:50:58.000 But we have no plans to shorten the length of the raids, but we're exploring ways that 02:50:58.000 --> 02:51:04.280 we can change up raid progression so as to alleviate the time burden on you. 02:51:04.280 --> 02:51:29.280 We have a lot of new content attached to this, ways to raise your item level via these raid bosses, but again, we can't talk too much about it yet, and we're going to talk more about that in Tokyo. 02:51:34.280 --> 02:51:47.280 We have a lot of new content planned as well, and we'll be talking about that soon, so please look forward to it. 02:51:47.280 --> 02:52:02.280 Okay, and last but not least, for our game design updates, 02:52:02.280 --> 02:52:07.280 And today we have the following announcement. 02:52:07.280 --> 02:52:08.280 There we go. 02:52:08.280 --> 02:52:09.280 Hmm? 02:52:09.280 --> 02:52:28.280 After 13 long years, we're finally introducing 02:52:28.280 --> 02:52:30.880 Free matching will be available. 02:52:30.880 --> 02:52:33.080 Region player matching. 02:52:38.720 --> 02:52:46.920 This means that the same region will be able to freely match from all over the world. 02:52:46.920 --> 02:52:52.320 This means player matching will now include all worlds across an entire region. 02:52:58.280 --> 02:53:26.280 Alright, so I want to show you what I mean with an example from the US, the EU, and Japan. 02:53:26.280 --> 02:53:29.720 So in each of our regions, we have several data centers 02:53:29.720 --> 02:53:34.040 that contain several different worlds. 02:53:34.040 --> 02:53:44.120 So up until now, player matching has been limited to worlds 02:53:44.120 --> 02:53:47.560 that exist in only the same data center, like this. 02:53:47.560 --> 02:53:52.760 This is now. 02:53:52.760 --> 02:54:09.760 But soon, we'll have succeeded in removing that barrier between data centers in the same region. 02:54:09.760 --> 02:54:10.760 I guess. 02:54:20.160 --> 02:54:26.360 Well, of course, you can match it, so you can have a party. 02:54:28.160 --> 02:54:31.360 Yeah, and this includes Party Finder as well. 02:54:31.360 --> 02:54:59.440 In the past, we've seen a lot of players forced into using the data center travel systems 02:54:59.440 --> 02:55:05.440 to specifically play on RAID focus servers? Sorry about that. But, 02:55:05.440 --> 02:55:18.440 but now with the same region matching from all over the world, 02:55:18.440 --> 02:55:23.440 and you can design all the World Can Telep. 02:55:23.440 --> 02:55:25.440 So now with same region matching, 02:55:25.440 --> 02:55:30.900 all worlds in the region are open up for player matching, party finder, and world 02:55:30.900 --> 02:55:35.440 visits, meaning more options for players without having to switch data centers. 02:55:35.440 --> 02:55:46.440 I think you have a question, when? 02:55:46.440 --> 02:55:47.440 You want to know when, right? 02:55:47.440 --> 02:55:48.440 Hey, your speed, when? 02:55:48.440 --> 02:55:49.440 When? 02:55:49.440 --> 02:55:50.440 When? 02:55:50.440 --> 02:56:19.440 The last thing is you won't have to wait for the release of EverCold. 02:56:19.440 --> 02:56:21.680 is you won't have to wait long for this. 02:56:21.680 --> 02:56:23.480 Development is currently wrapping up 02:56:23.480 --> 02:56:26.800 and we hope to have our first stress test happen 02:56:26.800 --> 02:56:28.480 sometime in 7.5X. 02:56:29.320 --> 02:56:30.600 First of all, I'm sorry. 02:56:30.600 --> 02:56:33.960 We have developed in Japan, 02:56:33.960 --> 02:56:37.000 so we will test it in Japan tomorrow. 02:56:37.000 --> 02:56:38.400 Again, we apologize. 02:56:38.400 --> 02:56:39.720 Our dev team is in Japan, 02:56:39.720 --> 02:56:41.760 so our first test is gonna happen in Japan 02:56:41.760 --> 02:56:44.600 so we can make sure everything is... 02:56:44.600 --> 02:57:10.600 And then once we've determined that there are no bugs and everything is safe after Japan is done, next up is America, then EU, then China. 02:57:14.600 --> 02:57:19.600 And we hope to have everything done before EverCold even begins. 02:57:33.600 --> 02:57:42.600 Alright, and so we'll update you all as soon as we have a detailed schedule on when that Japanese test begins and when we're going to be expanding. We'll have details very soon. 02:57:44.600 --> 02:58:01.600 Okay, we're finally finished. Or are we? 02:58:01.600 --> 02:58:08.600 No. 02:58:08.600 --> 02:58:11.440 So I still have a lot more to tell you about EverCold. 02:58:11.440 --> 02:58:12.440 Oh! 02:58:12.440 --> 02:58:29.160 Well, for the expansion expansion package, I think you're looking forward to the new jobs, 02:58:29.160 --> 02:58:33.080 but this time, we're going to add two new jobs. 02:58:33.080 --> 02:58:38.200 Okay, and of course, the new expansion means new jobs, and just like 7.0, we're planning 02:58:38.200 --> 02:58:45.200 to introduce two new jobs with A-Fight Out. 02:58:45.200 --> 02:58:48.200 Okay, what's the roles then? 02:58:48.200 --> 02:58:50.200 What's the time for this? 02:58:50.200 --> 02:58:55.200 Oh, thanks. 02:58:55.200 --> 02:59:00.200 What kind of DPS? 02:59:00.200 --> 02:59:04.200 DPS is... 02:59:04.200 --> 02:59:07.200 What kind? DPS? Just DPS? 02:59:07.200 --> 02:59:11.040 DPS is physical range DPS 02:59:11.040 --> 02:59:14.040 Oh physical range DPS 02:59:14.040 --> 02:59:16.040 Ranged 02:59:16.040 --> 02:59:19.040 It's hot, what are you taking up? 02:59:19.040 --> 02:59:21.040 Hey 02:59:27.040 --> 02:59:29.040 Guess who's back 02:59:35.040 --> 02:59:37.040 Don't know 02:59:37.040 --> 02:59:42.040 screen capture right now. 02:59:42.040 --> 02:59:50.040 Okay, so I can tell you that both of these jobs. 02:59:50.040 --> 02:59:53.040 Okay, so I can tell you that both of these jobs. 02:59:53.040 --> 02:59:56.040 Okay, so I can tell you that both of these jobs. 02:59:56.040 --> 03:00:04.040 Both of these new jobs are FF14 originals as opposed to legacy FF jobs. 03:00:04.040 --> 03:00:07.040 But the first job is in Oshu. 03:00:14.040 --> 03:00:18.040 I'm sorry, I was too much of a developer, I haven't made a video yet. 03:00:18.040 --> 03:00:22.520 We're still so early in development. We don't even have any videos of the jobs in play yet, so. 03:00:37.400 --> 03:00:42.920 Speaking of jobs, we have another major evolution in store for you in this department. 03:00:48.040 --> 03:00:53.040 New system? 03:01:02.040 --> 03:01:07.040 Now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Everybody's like, what's going on, what's going on? 03:01:07.040 --> 03:01:31.040 Okay, we're looking to change up how you play Final Fantasy 14 with the introduction of an all-new job action system, which consists of two modes, Reborn mode and Evolved mode. 03:01:31.040 --> 03:01:41.040 So you're probably wondering what these two modes are, so let me explain. 03:01:41.040 --> 03:01:50.040 Okay, calm down, let us get to the end. Relax, we've got a lot to tell you. 03:01:50.040 --> 03:01:52.040 What are your thoughts on this? 03:01:52.040 --> 03:02:00.040 First of all, we have the Viper and Victomancer, which have been implemented in the Final Fantasy XIV until 7.0. 03:02:00.040 --> 03:02:09.040 We have the normal Battle Job, 21 Job, and the extra Aoma Dojo, 22 Job in total. 03:02:09.040 --> 03:02:16.540 Okay, so currently in Final Fantasy XIV, we have the 21 Disciples of War and Magic, these combat jobs, we have 21 jobs, 03:02:16.540 --> 03:02:25.040 and that's including Viper and Pictomancer from 7.0, plus one limited job, Lumeage, for a total of 22 battle jobs. 03:02:25.040 --> 03:02:47.040 The two battle modes that we just talked about, Reborn and Evolved, will only be available for the 21 jobs and not the limited jobs of Blue Mage and the upcoming Beast Masking. 03:02:47.040 --> 03:03:01.000 I mean, it's limited, so it's limited. 03:03:01.000 --> 03:03:11.840 Okay, so, Tei, we're talking about these modes for these 21 jobs. 03:03:11.840 --> 03:03:29.760 Okay, so what exactly are these modes? So we're going to start off with the reborn mode. 03:03:29.760 --> 03:03:35.120 And basically reborn mode is what you have, what we have now. The actions and battle action 03:03:35.120 --> 03:03:39.120 rotations that you've been used to since a Realm Reborn? 03:03:39.120 --> 03:03:51.120 This is where the name comes from. 03:03:51.120 --> 03:03:57.120 We're calling it the Reborn mode, not because it's reborn, but because it's been around since a Realm Reborn. 03:03:57.120 --> 03:04:14.320 And so, all 21 jobs will be getting adjustments and upgrades, 3.0, but for all intents and purposes, this mode exists for all those 21 jobs. 03:04:14.320 --> 03:04:22.620 The 21st Job Reborn Mode is a system that adjusts the 8.0 and upgrades. 03:04:22.620 --> 03:04:32.620 If you are playing the basic rotation, you should be able to adjust and continue the game. 03:04:32.620 --> 03:04:39.120 And again, we're going to be doing updates like every expansion for these 21 jobs for this mode. 03:04:39.120 --> 03:04:41.620 Basically like what we always do. 03:04:41.620 --> 03:04:44.760 Reborn mode is what you know, what we've had before, 03:04:44.760 --> 03:04:46.780 with very little changes to it. 03:04:58.860 --> 03:05:02.040 But the real change here is apparent with Evolved mode, 03:05:02.040 --> 03:05:05.640 which is also available for all 21 existing jobs. 03:05:11.620 --> 03:05:34.520 So what is different? First off, that biggest difference is we're going to have all new action 03:05:34.520 --> 03:05:47.320 rotations different from the existing ones in the Reborn mode. 03:05:47.320 --> 03:06:03.400 The next big change is that it will have fewer keystrokes or button presses, fewer inputs. 03:06:03.400 --> 03:06:07.900 But I know, again looking at this, what some of you might think right at the bat is, oh, 03:06:07.900 --> 03:06:10.820 so it's just an easy mode. 03:06:10.820 --> 03:06:11.820 No. 03:06:11.820 --> 03:06:18.560 Evolve mode is not something that can be played in simple mode or in easy mode. 03:06:18.560 --> 03:06:23.800 In no way is Evolve mode a simplified watered down version of Reborn mode. 03:06:23.800 --> 03:06:48.800 To give games a more modern feel, a lot of games have recently taken to introducing modes that kind of feature streamlined controls. 03:06:48.800 --> 03:07:01.800 And I'm sorry to interrupt, but I think street fighter 6, classic and modern are imagined, but that's not the case. 03:07:01.800 --> 03:07:08.300 And so take, again, Street Fighter 6, for example, it has its classic mode and modern control schemes, 03:07:08.300 --> 03:07:14.800 and you may be thinking that our reborn and evolved modes are similar to this, but that is not the case. 03:07:14.800 --> 03:07:29.300 So, for example, reborn mode Dragoon and evolved mode Dragoon will have some similarities, 03:07:29.300 --> 03:07:34.740 but they all have also have their own unique actions and own unique rotations so you can now 03:07:34.740 --> 03:07:51.540 think of it like there are two kinds of dragons in the game and again they will still have things 03:07:51.540 --> 03:07:53.540 that are over actions that overlap. 03:07:53.540 --> 03:08:14.540 But like I said, they also have their own unique actions, and their own unique action rotations, making them feel completely different. 03:08:14.540 --> 03:08:39.540 So Reborn Mode preserves and maintains the actions of old, offering up an experience that feels familiar. 03:08:39.540 --> 03:08:42.540 No different from what you're doing today. 03:08:42.540 --> 03:08:55.540 In Evolve mode, you can find a new job style that is different from the original one. 03:09:09.540 --> 03:09:11.540 Let's take a look. 03:09:11.540 --> 03:09:25.540 Alright. To get into the details, first off, players will be able to toggle between the two modes at any time outside of battle. 03:09:25.540 --> 03:09:38.540 And the job level is shared, so there's no need to relearn actions for either mode. 03:09:38.540 --> 03:09:46.980 The gear is also shared, so again, no need to gather new mode-specific gear. 03:09:46.980 --> 03:10:06.540 And if the evolve mode is unlocked when a job is unlocked, so right off the bat you will be able to choose which mode you want from that point. 03:10:06.540 --> 03:10:19.540 And of course, all content can be cleared with both modes. 03:10:19.540 --> 03:10:35.540 But the only mode available for the existing 21 jobs. 03:10:35.540 --> 03:10:42.540 The new jobs that will be added from EverCord, and the jobs that will be added after that, 03:10:42.540 --> 03:10:46.540 will basically be done by Evolve without a ribbon board. 03:10:46.540 --> 03:10:52.540 All new jobs introduced from 8.0 on will only have an evolved mode. 03:10:52.540 --> 03:10:59.540 Of course, right now, everyone is running so fast. Which one is stronger? 03:10:59.540 --> 03:11:04.660 And so I bet the question on everybody's mind now is like, which one's stronger, right? 03:11:12.980 --> 03:11:18.100 And so due to how the new mode has been designed, I can say that in a general sense, 03:11:18.100 --> 03:11:20.820 evolve is probably just a little bit stronger. 03:11:29.540 --> 03:11:47.540 However, like I said earlier, battle content has all been designed to be compatible with both modes, and completable with both modes, so ultimately it comes down to you, try both, and choose the style that feels best for you. 03:11:47.540 --> 03:12:05.540 That said, at first, depending on the boss and their mechanics, there may be some battles that feel better suited to one mode than the other, 03:12:05.540 --> 03:12:12.540 and the developed team will do our best to make sure that that difference is as negligible as possible. 03:12:12.540 --> 03:12:30.540 So, this is all we have for reborn and evolve modes today, but I imagine some of you are like, 03:12:30.540 --> 03:12:50.220 like, what the hell Yoshida? I don't know what's going on. Come on. 03:12:50.220 --> 03:12:55.180 So if you want to know more about this new Evolved Mode, we have an entire development 03:12:55.180 --> 03:12:59.900 panel planned later today to talk specifically about this, where we're actually going to 03:12:59.900 --> 03:13:03.840 have a PC on stage and showing the Evolve mode in action. 03:13:03.840 --> 03:13:16.840 Night, Paladinship, Dragon, Shijin, Bard, White Mage, we'll be showing all of those. 03:13:16.840 --> 03:13:26.840 In this presentation, like we said, we're going to be showing some of the most amazing things 03:13:26.840 --> 03:13:27.840 that we've ever seen. 03:13:27.840 --> 03:13:36.840 So, we're going to be showing some of the most amazing things that we've ever seen. 03:13:36.840 --> 03:13:56.840 In this presentation, like we said, we're going to be showing some very early, in development type of stuff, so you're going to actually, there's going to be debug messages on the screen, so it's actually a good way to kind of see how we develop the game and some of the tools that we use. 03:13:56.840 --> 03:14:05.840 We have together with us here in Anaheim the battle system designer that helps create this system. 03:14:05.840 --> 03:14:12.840 He is here today, Samaki-san, and so if you're interested in this, you need to be here to watch because it's going to be pretty exciting. 03:14:12.840 --> 03:14:24.840 We still have more to go. 03:14:24.840 --> 03:14:27.840 We're not done. 03:14:27.840 --> 03:14:38.840 We're going to go through these kind of quickly. 03:14:38.840 --> 03:14:43.840 First of all, the level cap is 100 to 110. 03:14:46.840 --> 03:14:56.840 This is 100, so I talked about changing it a little bit more, but this time I decided to give it a level 10. 03:14:56.840 --> 03:15:04.840 After hitting 100, there was internal talks about maybe possibility of trying something different, but in the end it was like, I'll just raise to 110. 03:15:07.840 --> 03:15:09.840 Let's go quickly. 03:15:11.840 --> 03:15:17.840 Of course, these contents will also be implemented without decreasing as usual. 03:15:17.840 --> 03:15:20.120 And of course we won't be cutting any of this content. 03:15:20.120 --> 03:15:23.840 All of this is going to be making updates in the upcoming expansion. 03:15:23.840 --> 03:15:28.840 But we also recognize that a lot of assets are needed in all aspects of the game. 03:15:28.840 --> 03:15:34.840 For example, I would like to make FATE a bit less dynamic, 03:15:34.840 --> 03:15:38.840 and I would like to make it more dynamic, 03:15:38.840 --> 03:15:41.840 and I would like to make FATE a bit less dynamic, 03:15:41.840 --> 03:15:44.840 and I would like to make FATE a bit more dynamic, 03:15:44.840 --> 03:15:50.240 So, but we also recognize that a lot of aspects of these things need their own evolution. 03:15:50.240 --> 03:15:54.840 For example, maybe we have the fates, maybe we reduce the number of fates introduced, 03:15:54.840 --> 03:16:01.840 but we make those fates introduced larger and more dynamic as with the hunt as well. 03:16:01.840 --> 03:16:08.840 It's ready for an evolution of its own to kind of correspond with those updates that we have planned for the public field. 03:16:08.840 --> 03:16:17.640 And of course we're planning some new features for Treasure Hunts as well. 03:16:17.640 --> 03:16:30.240 And of course we cannot forget our Instance Dungeons, we'll be introducing several with Evercore. 03:16:30.240 --> 03:16:45.240 And again, we're planning on releasing the same amount as we always do with every expansion, so we're not cutting anything. 03:16:45.240 --> 03:16:57.240 Again, the four that you see here, these are currently under development for Evercove. 03:16:57.240 --> 03:17:04.240 But, where is the new ice power coming from? 03:17:09.240 --> 03:17:15.240 I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of adventure we'll have, and what kind of adventures we'll have. 03:17:15.240 --> 03:17:18.840 What adventure is await you have to wait to find out. 03:17:18.840 --> 03:17:32.160 And again, with new dungeons, we'll also be introducing a lot of new gear and crafting recipes. 03:17:32.160 --> 03:17:39.520 I brought some artwork to show you. 03:17:39.520 --> 03:17:47.160 I'm guessing you can kind of already tell which gear goes with which job? 03:17:58.040 --> 03:18:00.680 That's pretty cool. 03:18:02.600 --> 03:18:08.760 And we haven't forgotten our crafters and gatherers as well. 03:18:09.520 --> 03:18:17.520 Of course, with new expansion, new enemies come out. 03:18:17.520 --> 03:18:25.520 Of course, with new expansion, new enemies come out. 03:18:25.520 --> 03:18:35.520 This time, we will show you a little bit of the design, but we have prepared a lot of bosses as well. 03:18:35.520 --> 03:18:44.520 Again, we can only show you a little bit, but we can tell you that the designs and the gimmicks and the mechanics that we have for our upcoming bosses are going to be pretty amazing. 03:18:44.520 --> 03:18:51.520 Well, we only have a few of them today, but I'm sorry. 03:18:51.520 --> 03:19:02.520 And a lot of these are linked directly to the main scenario, so showing too much would be spoilers, so again, you're going to have to kind of... this is going to have to be enough for you. Sorry. 03:19:02.520 --> 03:19:14.520 Of course, we announced that we are going to have a three-stage event today, but the eight-person raid is also going on well. 03:19:20.520 --> 03:19:24.520 So, what's the theme of the eight-person raid? 03:19:32.520 --> 03:19:39.520 There's a reason for this, so please look forward to it. 03:19:48.520 --> 03:19:55.520 And of course, we'll continue with the battle content series. 03:20:02.520 --> 03:20:06.680 Ultimate Raid, 7.5 Ultimate Raid 03:20:08.120 --> 03:20:09.880 What?

However, we have one request. 03:28:46.360 --> 03:29:13.360 And that goes out to our PlayStation 4 users all around the globe. 03:29:13.360 --> 03:29:15.720 So we've worked hard over the past few years 03:29:15.720 --> 03:29:18.000 to make sure 14 runs smoothly, 03:29:18.000 --> 03:29:21.680 and we can ensure you that it will still run smoothly, 03:29:21.680 --> 03:29:24.960 8.0 will run smoothly on the PlayStation 4 as well. 03:29:24.960 --> 03:29:26.280 However, 03:29:26.280 --> 03:29:27.120 however, 03:29:27.120 --> 03:29:32.120 the problem is that as Final Fantasy 14 continues to grow, 03:29:37.360 --> 03:29:39.920 we're quickly approaching the data limit 03:29:39.920 --> 03:29:42.100 of PlayStation 4's system capacity. 03:29:43.360 --> 03:29:49.360 Until now, Sony Interactive Entertainment was able to support us 03:29:49.360 --> 03:29:52.000 with their best efforts, 03:29:52.000 --> 03:29:55.160 and we were able to reach the limit of our capacity. 03:29:55.160 --> 03:29:58.840 We were able to support them somehow, 03:29:58.840 --> 03:30:00.000 but we couldn't do it anymore. 03:30:00.000 --> 03:30:01.600 So, I'm sorry, physically. 03:30:01.600 --> 03:30:04.160 We are trying to surpass the capacity of the hard disk 03:30:04.160 --> 03:30:07.280 that can control us physically. 03:30:07.280 --> 03:30:10.800 And while cooperation with Sony's wonderful engineers 03:30:10.800 --> 03:30:16.680 has allowed us to limit brake a few more times than we thought even possible, it will soon 03:30:16.680 --> 03:30:31.920 be impossible to physically contain all of Final Fantasy 14 on the PlayStation 4 hard drive. 03:30:31.920 --> 03:30:37.760 So we currently believe that we're gonna be probably gonna be okay up until about 8.3. 03:30:37.760 --> 03:31:00.260 So, if you're still playing on the PlayStation 4, you've got two years to save up for a PlayStation 03:31:00.260 --> 03:31:20.260 And like I said, we're already going to be okay for 8.0, so you don't have to get it now. 03:31:20.260 --> 03:31:29.260 But yeah, that's all we have for system updates. 03:31:29.260 --> 03:31:34.260 Yeah, you thought we were done, huh? No. 03:31:34.260 --> 03:31:42.260 Well, from here on out, we have the Evercold 8 and the patch 7.5X series. 03:31:42.260 --> 03:31:45.260 So please let me introduce them. 03:31:45.260 --> 03:31:53.260 Again, while we're finished talking about Evercold, before Evercold, we have the 7.5X series. 03:31:53.260 --> 03:32:02.260 The biggest update being the launch of our second limited job, Beastmaster. 03:32:02.260 --> 03:32:18.260 And this will be coming patch 7.56. 03:32:18.260 --> 03:32:22.260 So like I talked about in the latest producer or letter from the producer live, 03:32:22.260 --> 03:32:25.260 These masters all about taming creatures. 03:32:25.260 --> 03:32:39.260 And then you fight with them in battle, employing unique battle action rotations that changes based on your pet. 03:32:39.260 --> 03:32:56.260 And we've got a lot of job specific content ready for you to sink your teeth into, so please look forward to it. 03:32:56.260 --> 03:33:01.260 And there's still more to come. 03:33:01.260 --> 03:33:02.260 Yes! 03:33:03.260 --> 03:33:06.260 I'm sorry for the long wait. I'm sorry for the long wait. 03:33:06.260 --> 03:33:09.260 The next series is finally coming out. 03:33:56.260 --> 03:33:58.260 Mid Encounter! 03:34:10.260 --> 03:34:12.260 They'll be on it for it now! 03:34:26.260 --> 03:34:52.260 That's right. Our next ultimate raid is Dancing Mad. 03:34:52.260 --> 03:34:57.260 it looks like Omega's latest creation from the interdimensional rift is none other than Kefka. 03:35:05.260 --> 03:35:09.260 And again, we have prepared an epic battle that's based all around Kefka. 03:35:15.260 --> 03:35:18.260 And so some of you may have been watching this and thinking, 03:35:18.260 --> 03:35:21.260 and that doesn't look that much different from Savage. 03:35:24.260 --> 03:35:29.260 Look at his face. Does that look like a face that would make it easier than Savage? 03:35:41.260 --> 03:35:47.260 So yes, it's going to be a crazy battle. We didn't want to release too much here because it would spoil the whole battle, 03:35:47.260 --> 03:35:50.260 But believe me, it's going to be epic. 03:35:50.260 --> 03:36:12.260 And we even got the original designer of the FS6 Kefka, Nomura Tetsuya, to help with the design of this in-game character. 03:36:12.260 --> 03:36:25.260 And as you could hear in the video, Kefka is pretty chatty during this battle. 03:36:25.260 --> 03:36:40.260 And again, Tetsuya Nomura-san also helped a lot supervise this voice recording as well. 03:36:40.260 --> 03:36:45.260 He was very involved in the creation this time, and we thank him for his participation. 03:36:55.760 --> 03:37:01.260 And the release of this ultimate Dancing Mad will be coming in patch 7.5. 03:37:01.260 --> 03:37:02.260 One. 03:37:07.260 --> 03:37:09.260 Who's ready to battle Kefka?

So when I was assigned by the magazine to do an interview with Yoshipee, I used the 06:33:00.920 --> 06:33:05.160 opportunity to ask him for a job. 06:33:05.160 --> 06:33:25.600 Of course, I didn't want YOSHIPI thinking that I was kind of sketchy, so I asked my boss 06:33:25.600 --> 06:33:30.880 ahead of time if he could call up YOSHIPI and let him know what I was about to do. 06:33:30.880 --> 06:33:56.880 I still remember it, but I'm still a very famous veteran as a writer, but I'd like to introduce a young man who's always been a part of the Q14 interview, so I was told that this interview was over, and that was Tamaki-kun. 06:33:56.880 --> 06:34:06.920 I still remember it to this day, but of course, Tanaki was a great writer too, but his supervisor 06:34:06.920 --> 06:34:13.440 told him when we were about to do an interview for the original Final Fantasy 14, he mentioned 06:34:13.440 --> 06:34:21.120 that I have this really young aspiring creator who wants to, who has a passion for 14, just 06:34:21.120 --> 06:34:24.120 Could you at least hear what he has to say? 06:34:33.120 --> 06:34:38.620 And of course, when he comes here, I tell him, you know, because you have no experience as an actual developer, 06:34:38.620 --> 06:34:42.120 you're going to have to start from the bottom. It'll be like a part-time job. 06:34:51.120 --> 06:35:11.120 He was open to any opportunity that we had for him. 06:35:11.120 --> 06:35:13.680 He didn't mind whatever he was assigned. 06:35:13.680 --> 06:35:18.880 He would let me know that I can do anything that you ask, and he was really serious about 06:35:18.880 --> 06:35:25.000 because he really wanted to be a part of the Final Fantasy 14 team and also he's a really 06:35:25.000 --> 06:35:43.320 good gamer too, I mean he's a pro level, pro gamer level. 06:35:43.320 --> 06:35:47.800 And luckily it all worked out, here I am, I got the job and I've been working on 14 06:35:47.800 --> 06:35:50.280 as a battle system planner ever since. 06:35:50.280 --> 06:36:16.000 And so as for my interests, if you hadn't noticed, my hobby is gaming. 06:36:16.000 --> 06:36:22.000 I've been gaming since I was young, and you'll generally find me playing whatever is popular at the time. 06:36:28.000 --> 06:36:34.000 But my true love is competitive games, and I've been playing League of Legends for more than 10 years. 06:36:46.000 --> 06:36:52.120 Back in the day, there weren't any Japanese servers, so I spent most of my time on the 06:36:52.120 --> 06:36:59.200 North American ones, which means there's a chance I may have played with some of you in here. 06:36:59.200 --> 06:37:09.200 And for those keeping track, my main role was ADC. 06:37:09.200 --> 06:37:14.000 Also, I've been playing fighting games for a long time, and I've been out of games lately. 06:37:14.000 --> 06:37:20.800 I've been playing at work on my day off, and after I finished my job, I've been playing at the company's lounge with Yoshida-san and other staff members. 06:37:20.800 --> 06:37:31.800 I'm also really into fighting games, and while I don't do much more, I used to challenge people at work all the time during our lunch hours, even Yoshipi in our gaming lounge. 06:37:31.800 --> 06:37:44.800 I don't think I've even won 10% of the time I fought against him. 06:37:44.800 --> 06:37:54.800 I was able to get the opportunity to communicate with people in the company that otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do that. 06:37:54.800 --> 06:38:00.800 So I'm really grateful to Yoshida-san and Yokozawa-san and Gondai-san for inviting me to those meet-ups. 06:38:00.800 --> 06:38:05.800 And so thanks to Yoshida-san and my fellow battle team members such as Gondai-san and Yokozawa-san. 06:38:05.800 --> 06:38:09.800 Thanks to them inviting me to those meet-ups when I first joined Square Enix, 06:38:09.800 --> 06:38:17.800 I was able to get the chance to communicate with people in the company that otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to you, and so for that, I'm very, very grateful. 06:38:17.800 --> 06:38:20.800 Yeah, this is it. 06:38:20.800 --> 06:38:24.800 The battery is running out, isn't it?

Mr. Prime. 06:44:48.340 --> 06:44:52.640 What? 06:44:52.640 --> 06:44:54.020 What's that? 06:44:54.020 --> 06:44:55.020 The number! 06:44:55.020 --> 06:44:57.020 The number! 06:44:57.020 --> 06:44:58.500 Mr. Prime. 06:44:58.500 --> 06:44:59.500 The number. 06:44:59.500 --> 06:45:00.500 Mr. Prime. 06:45:00.500 --> 06:45:02.000 What in English? 06:45:02.000 --> 06:45:03.000 Prime. 06:45:03.000 --> 06:45:04.000 Prime. 06:45:04.000 --> 06:45:05.000 Prime. 06:45:05.000 --> 06:45:06.000 Prime. 06:45:06.000 --> 06:45:07.000 Oh, Prime number. 06:45:07.000 --> 06:45:08.000 The number. 06:45:08.000 --> 06:45:09.000 Mr. Prime. 06:45:09.000 --> 06:45:10.000 The number. 06:45:10.000 --> 06:45:11.000 Mr. Prime. 06:45:11.000 --> 06:45:12.000 Mr. Prime. 06:45:12.000 --> 06:45:14.000 I'm a little too cool. 06:45:14.000 --> 06:45:15.000 That's pretty cool. 06:45:15.000 --> 06:45:16.000 I'm pretty cool. 06:45:16.000 --> 06:45:17.000 I'm pretty cool. 06:45:17.000 --> 06:45:18.000 That's pretty cool. 06:45:18.000 --> 06:45:20.000 He's like a Batman villain. 06:45:20.000 --> 06:45:22.000 Yes, yes, yes. Go. 06:45:22.000 --> 06:45:24.000 Mr. Prime. 06:45:24.000 --> 06:45:29.000 Now Mr. Prime. 06:45:29.000 --> 06:45:36.000 I mean this isn't the only thing he's worked on. 06:45:36.000 --> 06:45:43.000 He did some of the other things that I've worked on as well. 06:45:43.000 --> 06:46:03.000 And so for those high-end-duty adjustments that are there at the end of the list, I've worked on most all of them since Heaven's Word, with the most recent being 06:46:03.000 --> 06:46:19.640 The most recent being the upcoming Dancing Mad Ultimate. 06:46:19.640 --> 06:46:22.040 I worked on that. 06:46:22.040 --> 06:46:26.240 Again, I'm not supposed to talk a lot about it today, but I can tell you the difficulty 06:46:26.240 --> 06:46:30.680 level is just about right. 06:46:30.680 --> 06:46:42.680 The one thing here that I'm probably most proud of is my work on crystalline conflict. 06:46:42.680 --> 06:46:59.680 Again, creating a system from scratch was not without its challenges, but fortunately I had help from a lot of talented colleagues. 06:46:59.680 --> 06:47:00.680 colleagues. 06:47:00.680 --> 06:47:08.280 Well, but at the time of the Crystal Conflict, I almost made a job at PvP Job Action, but 06:47:08.280 --> 06:47:12.360 he made the whole job by himself. 06:47:12.360 --> 06:47:20.680 Yeah, so when we implemented Crystalene Conflict, we also updated PvP-specific job actions, 06:47:20.680 --> 06:47:28.160 and it was just him alone working on doing that. 06:47:28.160 --> 06:47:44.160 I'm really excited for the regional championship tomorrow, that's what I'm going to be watching. 06:47:44.160 --> 06:48:10.160 I'm sure the players will be nervous tomorrow, but it's okay to be nervous, it's time to relax, because we're rooting for them and we know you're going to be rooting for them as well. 06:48:14.160 --> 06:48:34.160 Okay, so that's all about me. Let's now move over into the new battle system that we're implementing with Evercore. 06:48:34.160 --> 06:48:50.160 So specifically, I want to go into a little more detail about the two different modes, the Reborn mode and Evolve mode. 06:48:50.160 --> 06:48:53.160 of the two different modes, the reborn mode and evolve mode. 06:48:53.160 --> 06:48:55.000 Yeah. 06:48:55.000 --> 06:49:12.000 First of all, I wanted to introduce the development concept that we had when designing this new 06:49:12.000 --> 06:49:17.360 system, and that is we wanted to build something that players both new and old would enjoy 06:49:17.360 --> 06:49:28.680 for years to come. And that ultimately led us to the decision to have two modes instead 06:49:28.680 --> 06:49:45.720 of simply one. So first off, we've got the reborn mode, which being based off mainly existing 06:49:45.720 --> 06:49:50.720 job actions and mechanics means with it you'll be able to keep playing the way you do now. 06:49:50.720 --> 06:50:02.200 But that doesn't mean we won't be making small adjustments moving forward, but the foundation 06:50:02.200 --> 06:50:12.120 and mechanics are all firmly grounded in what already exists. 06:50:12.120 --> 06:50:21.860 On the other hand, the three most distinguishing features of the Evolved mode are first and 06:50:21.860 --> 06:50:27.040 foremost we've redesigned the system to better highlight the characteristics of each individual 06:50:27.040 --> 06:50:28.040 job. 06:50:28.040 --> 06:50:37.360 Second off, we wanted to feature completely different action rotations than the reborn 06:50:37.360 --> 06:50:51.360 And third, we wanted to make things easier to understand by reducing the amount of actions necessary to set to your hotbar. 06:51:07.360 --> 06:51:12.240 Well, as I said in the press conference earlier, 06:51:12.240 --> 06:51:17.160 I had a little bit of a misunderstanding after the press conference on SNS. 06:51:17.160 --> 06:51:21.840 But the development is not something that was created 06:51:21.840 --> 06:51:28.480 simply or easily in the same way as the previous mode. 06:51:28.480 --> 06:51:34.120 So, yeah, kind of touching upon what we discussed during the keynote, though. 06:51:34.120 --> 06:51:39.200 And I was looking at the social channels right after I had finished my keynote. 06:51:39.200 --> 06:51:46.240 I did see some comments about how people may have misconstrued the concept of evolved versus reborn. 06:51:46.240 --> 06:51:56.080 And they were thinking reborn mode is making, I'm sorry, evolved mode is making reborn mode more easy. 06:51:56.080 --> 06:51:58.360 But that is not the case. Sorry. 06:51:58.360 --> 06:52:07.000 I've also looked at SNS, and I've also looked at the mode that was created for Switch 2. 06:52:07.000 --> 06:52:09.200 It's just a coincidence. 06:52:09.200 --> 06:52:15.540 And also comments about how, oh, this evolved mode was created because we want to accommodate for the Nintendo Switch too, 06:52:15.540 --> 06:52:20.880 but that's not the case either. That just so happened that the announcement came simultaneously. 06:52:39.200 --> 06:52:57.840 So again, the concept is trying to make it more comfortable for very busy people and trying 06:52:57.840 --> 06:53:03.920 to find the time to play video games and also new players who may not be familiar with the 06:53:03.920 --> 06:53:09.040 different configurations or people who have experienced other games and are now jumping 06:53:09.040 --> 06:53:16.120 into 14 for them to become used to the battle system with fewer inputs. It's not like we're 06:53:16.120 --> 06:53:22.440 trying to simplify or make it easier on them. It's meant to be a different concept from 06:53:22.440 --> 06:53:23.440 that. 06:53:23.440 --> 06:53:44.720 And as I mentioned, I gave the Dragoon as the example. 06:53:44.720 --> 06:53:50.320 Of course, there are some shared elements, but for the most part, you are getting a different 06:53:50.320 --> 06:53:51.320 experience. 06:53:51.320 --> 06:54:00.560 rotations will be different and it is a separate mode from each other. 06:54:00.560 --> 06:54:13.280 Continuing on with more recap from the keynote. 06:54:13.280 --> 06:54:19.600 And as listed here, when you switch over between reborn and evolved mode, you can 06:54:19.600 --> 06:54:22.600 You can do that while you are in non-combat situations. 06:54:22.600 --> 06:54:28.600 Well, for example, the leveling of Ryukishi itself is naturally exposed to Ryukishi, 06:54:28.600 --> 06:54:33.600 so for example, you don't need anything like raising ribbon and raising the ebob. 06:54:33.600 --> 06:54:35.600 Equipment is completely common. 06:54:35.600 --> 06:54:39.600 And of course, so when you are leveling your, say, Dragoon, 06:54:39.600 --> 06:54:44.600 you don't have to go a separate, like, progression route for just Reborn and just Evolved. 06:54:44.600 --> 06:54:45.600 It grows. 06:54:45.600 --> 06:54:51.600 And then gear is also, you don't have to like switch it out, it's consistent, it's the same. 06:54:51.600 --> 06:55:02.600 Evolve mode, this is the timing when 8.0 starts, but when it's released, you can select the evolve mode from the moment you put the job in your hand. 06:55:02.600 --> 06:55:06.600 If you're new to it, you can choose your favorite mode from the moment you change the job. 06:55:06.600 --> 06:55:14.600 Of course, you'll be able to proceed to leveling, so if 8.0 is released, you'll be able to use it immediately. 06:55:14.600 --> 06:55:25.600 And when Evolved Mode is unlocked at 8.0, you are able to toggle between the two modes as long as you have the job. 06:55:25.600 --> 06:55:35.600 And so whenever you are jumping in, even if you are a new player, if that job is available for you to use, then you can jump right in. 06:55:35.600 --> 06:55:43.600 Or I'm sure existing players have already leveled their characters to a certain degree so you can jump right in as well. 06:55:43.600 --> 06:55:58.600 And of course, I do want to reiterate, you are able to clear content no matter which mode you have switched to. 06:55:58.600 --> 06:56:09.600 And again, the new jobs that are introduced with EverCold will only be available in the future. 06:56:09.600 --> 06:56:15.600 And again, the new jobs that are introduced with EverCold will only have the Evolved mode. 06:56:15.600 --> 06:56:29.600 And again, I wanted to reiterate an important point. 06:56:29.600 --> 06:56:36.600 Of course, we have made the adjustments, but then the Evolved mode would be just slightly stronger. 06:56:36.600 --> 06:56:44.600 Now, let's give the button to Tamaki-kun again and explain it to him. 06:56:44.600 --> 06:56:48.600 Okay, so going back to Tamaki's presentation. 06:56:48.600 --> 06:56:50.600 Oh, oh, oh, oh, everybody's ready. 06:56:50.600 --> 06:56:52.600 Everybody wants to see what's going on. 06:56:52.600 --> 06:57:00.600 Okay, this picture is the one that compared the original Night Reborn mode and the Evol mode hotspot. 06:57:00.600 --> 06:57:06.600 All right, so let's take a look at these hot bar layouts for both the reborn and evolved modes of Paladin. 06:57:06.600 --> 06:57:26.600 As you can see, we're born mode on the left and evolved mode on the right. 06:57:26.600 --> 06:57:33.100 So comparing the two, you can see that the Evolved Mode layout is a lot more streamlined. 06:57:33.100 --> 06:57:51.300 So we have redesigned it so that all necessary job and role actions fit into approximately 16 buttons. 06:57:51.300 --> 06:57:59.940 Everybody is looking at all the icons that are in the hot part. 06:57:59.940 --> 06:58:08.480 By the way, because it's in development, there's still a possibility for us to change. 06:58:08.480 --> 06:58:11.900 I do want to let you know that we're still under development on this. 06:58:11.900 --> 06:58:13.940 This could change. 06:58:13.940 --> 06:58:30.260 So, now you're probably wondering how we got the number of actions down that far. 06:58:30.260 --> 06:58:36.780 One method was by consolidating basic combos into a single icon. 06:58:36.780 --> 06:58:59.700 So, for example, in Reborn mode, the Paladin combo of Fast Blade into Riot Sword into Royal 06:58:59.700 --> 06:59:03.180 Authority took three icons. 06:59:03.180 --> 06:59:09.380 In Evolved Mode, the full combo is now executable by clicking the same button three times without 06:59:09.380 --> 06:59:11.500 clicking three different buttons. 06:59:11.500 --> 06:59:26.520 We've consolidated actions in other ways as well, such as merging ones that had similar 06:59:26.520 --> 06:59:33.520 or mechanics, or ones that were simply AOE versions of an existing single target, actually. 06:59:33.520 --> 06:59:36.520 The number of bots is decreasing, and the number of actions is decreasing, 06:59:36.520 --> 06:59:40.520 and I think that the number of content-based applications is getting more and more unstable, 06:59:40.520 --> 06:59:43.520 but at the same time, we are adjusting the number of actions, 06:59:43.520 --> 06:59:46.520 and we are adjusting the number of effects. 06:59:46.520 --> 06:59:52.520 So, now some of you might be worried that a reduction in the number of hotbar slots 06:59:52.520 --> 06:59:59.000 slots might limit players by putting them at a disadvantage when attacking certain content. 06:59:59.000 --> 07:00:05.640 I'm here to assure you that that's not the case as we've offset this by shortening recast times 07:00:05.640 --> 07:00:07.400 and increasing effect potency. 07:00:22.520 --> 07:00:29.140 So, for example, in reborn mode, paladins will continue to have the option to use the action 07:00:29.140 --> 07:00:35.000 bulwark, but in evolved mode, bulwark will no longer exist, but to compensate for its 07:00:35.000 --> 07:00:40.900 removal, the potency of remaining defensive actions will be adjusted to produce similar 07:00:40.900 --> 07:00:41.900 results. 07:00:41.900 --> 07:01:03.900 All right, and another way we were able to consolidate actions was by changing effects on targets. 07:01:03.900 --> 07:01:10.340 And there are a lot of different ways that we have, again, the effects that are used 07:01:10.340 --> 07:01:17.020 and the names that are used, and in Reborn and Evolved, we have these different actions, 07:01:17.020 --> 07:01:20.780 and we've been taking these, and we're going to split them into completely different things. 07:01:20.780 --> 07:01:24.540 Things that were the same, we've split, things that were similar, we've put together. 07:01:24.540 --> 07:01:40.540 So another unique way we were able to consolidate actions was by changing their effects based on the targets. 07:01:40.540 --> 07:01:51.540 So in other words, take the action being introduced in Evolve mode, Divine Justice. 07:01:51.540 --> 07:01:56.820 In this action, when used against enemies, the Holy Spirit of Attack Magic is activated, 07:01:56.820 --> 07:02:00.540 and when used against enemies, the Cremacy of Revenge Magic is activated. 07:02:11.340 --> 07:02:17.620 In addition, in the case of a situation where you can use a gun or shield bash, 07:02:17.620 --> 07:02:36.620 Then we have actions like cover and shield bash, and these are both actions that are limited in their scope of use, but they are very characteristic to the Paladin job. 07:02:36.620 --> 07:02:46.620 So just like Divine Justice, similar setups for these actions are planned with the actions dynamically yielding different effects based on the target or other conditions. 07:02:46.620 --> 07:02:53.620 We'll also be making adjustments to roll actions in Evolved Mode as well. 07:02:53.620 --> 07:03:04.620 Those absolutely required to clear certain battles will remain untouched, but those that we've determined can be consolidated or removed altogether will be. 07:03:04.620 --> 07:03:14.620 absolutely required to clear certain battles will remain untouched, but those that we've determined can be consolidated or removed altogether, we'll view. 07:03:14.620 --> 07:03:21.140 In the tank, a shark and a chouhatsu act as a hate management action. 07:03:21.140 --> 07:03:28.680 If you use a hate management action against an enemy, a chouhatsu act, and a chouhatsu act against a party member. 07:03:28.680 --> 07:03:36.320 So an example for tanks is that provoke and shirk will be consolidated into a single action known as scales of enmity. 07:03:36.320 --> 07:03:40.980 If you use this scales of enmity on an enemy, it will infect provoke. 07:03:40.980 --> 07:03:43.980 If you use it on a party member, it will invoke shirk. 07:03:44.620 --> 07:04:09.340 Now, some of you may be thinking that with this kind of consolidation, that in cases where 07:04:09.340 --> 07:04:13.460 you would normally use both of these actions in succession, that you won't be able to do 07:04:13.460 --> 07:04:14.460 that anymore. 07:04:14.460 --> 07:04:20.300 To relieve this potential problem and make sure that players will be able to use both of these as they always have, 07:04:20.300 --> 07:04:25.340 we'll be giving Scales of Emity two charges to use however you wish. 07:04:33.580 --> 07:04:38.860 Another example of attack action being changed is that low blow will be phased out 07:04:38.860 --> 07:04:42.860 and its stun effect added to the remaining action interject. 07:04:44.460 --> 07:05:07.460 So basically by cutting the overall amount of keystrokes from a job's action rotations, we're aiming to make things easier to understand, ultimately making that job more accessible to more players. 07:05:07.460 --> 07:05:22.460 So as I mentioned, another aim of Evolve Mode is to make each job feel unique. 07:05:22.460 --> 07:05:26.460 And the best way to explain that is to show you the new system in action. 07:05:26.460 --> 07:05:31.460 So I have the PC here and we're going to walk you through four different jobs. 07:05:31.460 --> 07:05:35.460 So, I'm going to explain a little bit more briefly from here, 07:05:35.460 --> 07:05:40.460 but I'm always introduced to the production of live shows, 07:05:40.460 --> 07:05:45.460 but it's much more advanced than that. 07:05:45.460 --> 07:05:49.460 So, I just want to put in a disclaimer here really quickly. 07:05:49.460 --> 07:05:53.460 You may be familiar with the letter from the producer live streams, 07:05:53.460 --> 07:05:56.460 and we show off gameplay at those, 07:05:56.460 --> 07:06:01.820 but the build that we'll be showing you is an even more like earlier build. 07:06:07.740 --> 07:06:13.980 So if we could have the gameplay one PC shown on the main screen? 07:06:26.460 --> 07:06:35.380 So you may see a section zoomed out there, those bars, that's where the job UI is going 07:06:35.380 --> 07:06:36.380 to be. 07:06:36.380 --> 07:06:39.300 I'm afraid we didn't have the graphics yet, so right now it's a very simple version, 07:06:39.300 --> 07:06:52.460 so we had to blow it up so that you can see it better. 07:06:52.460 --> 07:06:57.160 And so again, we just kind of zoomed in on that particular section. 07:06:57.160 --> 07:07:01.060 So in the actual game, you won't see like a duplicate, so. 07:07:01.060 --> 07:07:10.860 And another disclaimer, Tamaki will be using his with a game controller. 07:07:10.860 --> 07:07:22.360 And of course, mine will be mouse and keyboard with left-handed device. 07:07:22.360 --> 07:07:32.360 Okay, so let's do some magic and spawn some enemies. 07:07:32.360 --> 07:07:34.360 Heyo! 07:07:34.360 --> 07:07:36.360 Ah, sorry, it was the wrong direction. 07:07:36.360 --> 07:07:38.360 Ah, it was the wrong direction. 07:07:38.360 --> 07:07:40.360 That's backwards again. 07:07:40.360 --> 07:07:42.360 Poor guy. 07:07:42.360 --> 07:07:45.360 Facing the wrong direction, you die. 07:07:45.360 --> 07:07:47.360 Okay, okay, thank you. 07:07:47.360 --> 07:07:50.360 Thank you. 07:07:50.360 --> 07:08:03.360 First of all, I think that the knight that you are playing now is relatively easy to use, so we have created a very large number of buttons without any major mechanics. 07:08:03.360 --> 07:08:09.800 So, moving back, as Paladin is already one of the easier jobs to use, for Evolved Mode, 07:08:09.800 --> 07:08:14.520 we didn't implement too many changes to play mechanics, and instead focused on drastically 07:08:14.520 --> 07:08:25.480 reducing the number of inputs in a typical rotation. 07:08:25.480 --> 07:08:30.200 So as I mentioned earlier in the presentation, one way we achieved that was by consolidating 07:08:30.200 --> 07:08:38.440 combos into a single button icon, fast blade, changes to riot blade, changes to divine authority, 07:08:52.840 --> 07:08:57.720 like we mentioned before by changing an accent effect based on who the target is. So when 07:08:57.720 --> 07:09:03.720 Divine Justice, which is now a magic button, is cast on an enemy. It becomes Holy Spirit. 07:09:03.720 --> 07:09:06.440 When it's cast on a party member, it becomes Clemens. 07:09:12.040 --> 07:09:13.080 Now the same button. 07:09:13.080 --> 07:09:29.280 Of course the blade combo following Imperator has also been consolidated into one of those 07:09:29.280 --> 07:09:31.280 Updating icon buttons. 07:09:42.560 --> 07:09:46.000 And as a new component of the Night's Evolve mode, 07:09:46.000 --> 07:09:51.280 we are adding counter-action when we succeed in taking the enemy's attacks well. 07:09:59.280 --> 07:10:09.520 certain attacks just right. 07:10:09.520 --> 07:10:14.840 So for example, upon successfully stopping an attack with Polish shelter, Paladins can 07:10:14.840 --> 07:10:43.640 and then execute a counter attack called answering strike. 07:10:43.640 --> 07:10:54.640 And if Paladin's execute Holy Shelterin right before an attack lands, then that counter is transformed into an even more potent version of itself called satisfaction. 07:11:00.640 --> 07:11:01.640 Wait, wait. 07:11:13.640 --> 07:11:24.560 Alright, so now let's take another look at all these actions together in battle, and 07:11:24.560 --> 07:11:32.560 keep your eyes open you might see some other new actions as well. 07:11:32.560 --> 07:12:02.160 So Paladin has always been a job with a lot of button presses, so we put a lot of focus 07:12:02.160 --> 07:12:05.160 on how to intuitively reduce that number. 07:12:16.560 --> 07:12:19.720 We didn't just want to simply remove actions, though, 07:12:19.720 --> 07:12:21.480 and as an extension, remove the things 07:12:21.480 --> 07:12:22.480 that you could do in battle. 07:12:22.480 --> 07:12:24.720 We wanted to keep things interesting and fun, 07:12:24.720 --> 07:12:26.240 so we retained what we thought 07:12:26.240 --> 07:12:28.080 would keep those things interesting. 07:12:32.160 --> 07:12:54.160 So for example, clemency and cover are not actions that are used that much in battle, but when used properly, they can be a lot of fun, so we used the aforementioned consolidation techniques to make sure that they remain. 07:13:02.160 --> 07:13:09.160 Oh, oh, oh, oh. 07:13:09.160 --> 07:13:14.160 And now, there's a shield bash that's useful in a deep dungeon. 07:13:14.160 --> 07:13:23.160 Likewise, shield bash can be really useful in a deep dungeon, so we're very sure that that made the cut as well. 07:13:23.160 --> 07:13:27.160 Oh, shield bash moving far away. Shield law. 07:13:32.160 --> 07:13:38.160 That's all for tonight's Evolve Mode. Please go back to Powerpoint. 07:13:38.160 --> 07:13:39.160 Wait a minute. 07:13:39.160 --> 07:13:41.160 Hold on, one moment, sorry. 07:13:41.160 --> 07:13:44.160 Well, it's just a matter of time. 07:13:44.160 --> 07:13:47.160 You haven't done any super-release shark, have you? 07:13:47.160 --> 07:13:50.160 You haven't done... Have you done provok and shirk? 07:13:50.160 --> 07:13:55.160 Can you switch to gameplay too, please? 07:13:55.160 --> 07:14:05.160 And I'm sorry, Tony, but we're here, and the powerpoint is going to be somewhere in the mouse castle again, and it's going to get stuck somewhere, so I wonder if it's going to be a problem. 07:14:19.160 --> 07:14:24.160 Well, normally, it's going to be the first time. 07:14:25.160 --> 07:14:27.160 And then... 07:14:27.160 --> 07:14:29.160 Shark! 07:14:29.160 --> 07:14:31.160 This one also changes. 07:14:55.160 --> 07:14:57.160 Let me attack the boss 07:14:57.160 --> 07:15:02.160 Let me attack the ball. 07:15:02.160 --> 07:15:03.160 You're going to kill it. 07:15:03.160 --> 07:15:31.640 So, yeah, you can experience a new kind of like gameplay feel by switching to the evolve 07:15:31.640 --> 07:15:33.640 Um 07:15:36.520 --> 07:15:38.520 All right 07:15:49.160 --> 07:15:54.920 We don't know where the cursor went no the mouse disappeared 07:15:58.760 --> 07:16:00.760 Yes 07:16:01.640 --> 07:16:06.640 We can't find the mouse. 07:16:06.640 --> 07:16:09.640 Oh, it's there. 07:16:09.640 --> 07:16:12.640 Which one should I pick next? 07:16:12.640 --> 07:16:15.640 I don't know the English mode. 07:16:15.640 --> 07:16:19.640 I want to go back to the PowerPoint presentation. 07:16:19.640 --> 07:16:23.640 Thank you. 07:16:23.640 --> 07:16:28.640 Why am I so unstable? 07:16:28.640 --> 07:16:30.640 Why? 07:16:30.640 --> 07:16:38.640 Okay. Okay. So, let's get back to the... We're almost there? 07:16:38.640 --> 07:16:41.640 Okay. PowerPoint please. 07:16:41.640 --> 07:16:43.640 All right. So, you can go back to the PowerPoint. 07:16:43.640 --> 07:16:45.640 Okay. Thank you. 07:16:45.640 --> 07:16:48.640 Sorry about that. Thank you for waiting. 07:16:48.640 --> 07:16:54.640 Okay. 07:16:54.640 --> 07:17:04.640 Next, we have the melee DPS Dragon. 07:17:04.640 --> 07:17:16.640 You have to pop them while everybody is watching. 07:17:16.640 --> 07:17:21.640 Let us go back to game play, PC1. 07:17:21.640 --> 07:17:22.640 Okay. 07:17:22.640 --> 07:17:23.640 Okay. 07:17:23.640 --> 07:17:27.640 What's your magic? 07:17:27.640 --> 07:17:28.640 Striking dummy? 07:17:28.640 --> 07:17:29.640 Oh. 07:17:29.640 --> 07:17:33.640 I got a striking dummy up. 07:17:33.640 --> 07:17:50.060 So compared to Reborn mode, Evolve mode for the Dragoon changes are very significant, 07:17:50.060 --> 07:18:00.200 with job action mechanics being almost completely different than the Reborn mode. 07:18:00.200 --> 07:18:04.900 So if you look at the H3D, you'll see stacks of Dragon's Bane Gauge. 07:18:04.900 --> 07:18:13.400 So this gauge will gradually fill over time when gauged in battle. 07:18:13.400 --> 07:18:30.000 So these stacks are then spent to execute powerful direction based weapon skills. 07:18:30.000 --> 07:18:36.000 So executing the Sinister Drive from the enemy's left will increase potency. 07:18:39.000 --> 07:18:45.000 Next, when you exit from the right side of the enemy's Dexter Drive, you'll be able to increase your HP. 07:18:45.000 --> 07:18:51.000 And then executing Dexter Drive from the right will also increase potency. 07:18:51.000 --> 07:19:16.000 And then after using both Sinister and Dexter drives, this will ready what is known as Winged Chaos, which, if executed from behind, will earn you a significant damage bonus. 07:19:16.000 --> 07:19:26.000 So, to offset this increase of difficulty created by implementing this addition to the game, 07:19:26.000 --> 07:19:36.000 I would like to make sure that you have a good idea of what to do next. 07:19:36.000 --> 07:19:53.000 So, to offset this increase of difficulty created by implementing this additional layer of attack direction specificity, we've added a little bit more leeway to attack execution timing. 07:19:53.000 --> 07:20:01.000 We've also added a new jump, which is called Vengeful Jump, which ignores the directional requirements of the next weapon skill used. 07:20:06.000 --> 07:20:29.660 And while this is not specific to Dragon, so let players better know that they've successfully 07:20:29.660 --> 07:20:34.940 executed a directional attack correctly will be adding more intuitive graphical feedback. 07:20:48.540 --> 07:20:54.460 So another big change to Dragoon with the Evolve mode is the addition of Blood of the Dragon. Blood of 07:20:54.460 --> 07:21:00.500 of the dragon accumulates each time a dragon executes the aforementioned vengeful jump, 07:21:00.500 --> 07:21:13.700 and then when it reaches its max of three, it ready an attack called Star Diver. 07:21:13.700 --> 07:21:19.100 Executing Star Driver then grants Life of the Dragon, which in turn allows the execution 07:21:19.100 --> 07:21:46.380 of a powerful combo. 07:21:46.380 --> 07:21:53.380 In addition, executing the aforementioned Star Diver will also ready the one-time action Sky High. 07:21:53.380 --> 07:22:00.380 With Sky High, players will fly high up into the air, landing several moments later to deal massive damage. 07:22:00.380 --> 07:22:28.620 So Sky High was designed to feel like a legacy final fan of the game, but it was designed to 07:22:28.620 --> 07:22:31.740 feel like a legacy Final Fantasy jump ability. 07:22:31.740 --> 07:22:34.860 So while airborne, we originally wanted players 07:22:34.860 --> 07:22:38.860 to be temporarily immune to all enemy attacks. 07:22:38.860 --> 07:22:44.860 But we soon realized that we couldn't go quite that far. 07:22:53.580 --> 07:22:57.300 If we made players completely immune to all attacks, 07:22:57.300 --> 07:23:00.580 That would kind of mess with a lot of the boss battle mechanics. 07:23:00.580 --> 07:23:04.180 So damage reduction won't be a full 100%. 07:23:04.180 --> 07:23:07.460 But we are looking to have it reduced significantly. 07:23:19.460 --> 07:23:21.340 So I said it won't be 100%, 07:23:21.340 --> 07:23:23.580 but currently our internal number that we have 07:23:23.580 --> 07:23:26.180 is 90% reduction of damage. 07:23:26.180 --> 07:23:32.980 Now, that may still change depending on how tests go, but that said, going a little overboard 07:23:32.980 --> 07:23:36.060 in this case is a lot more fun, isn't it? 07:23:36.060 --> 07:23:37.060 Yeah? 07:23:37.060 --> 07:23:42.660 Hey, for now I still thought he had something else. 07:23:42.660 --> 07:23:46.420 Alright, so let's take one more look at everything in action. 07:24:26.180 --> 07:24:52.180 If we could switch to gameplay too, please? 07:25:22.180 --> 07:25:51.120 So this time we were showing an example of the 07:25:51.120 --> 07:25:55.760 we were showing an example so we had a set rotation that we did but it's so 07:25:55.760 --> 07:26:00.120 exhilarating and I think you will experience that this is a very 07:26:00.120 --> 07:26:04.120 different feel as a dragoon so I would love for everybody to try it out when 07:26:04.120 --> 07:26:06.120 it comes out. 07:26:06.120 --> 07:26:30.120 So now this again isn't specific to Dragun, but all of the jobs we've tried hard to make these new rotations something that are not only fun to play but also really represent the feel of each job. 07:26:30.120 --> 07:26:50.120 For Dragon, that was about making those signature jump attacks and combining them with the improved Blood of the Dragon mechanics to create something that feels really slick and tight. 07:26:50.120 --> 07:27:07.120 And like Paladin, with Dragoon there was also originally a glut of these actions, so we worked on tearing down that number as we went. 07:27:20.120 --> 07:27:35.760 Okay, so that's all for Evolve Moves for Dragon. 07:27:35.760 --> 07:27:42.160 Let's return to the PowerPoint so I can get ready for the next job. 07:27:42.160 --> 07:27:55.160 What is our next job? 07:27:55.160 --> 07:28:08.160 Next up we have white mage. 07:28:08.160 --> 07:28:11.640 Alright, let's have Tamaki-kun play the game. 07:28:11.640 --> 07:28:14.840 Alright, I think he's ready. Game play one, please. 07:28:21.540 --> 07:28:22.540 He's coming out again. 07:28:22.540 --> 07:28:23.540 He's coming out again. 07:28:23.540 --> 07:28:24.540 Another one of those. 07:28:26.040 --> 07:28:28.540 Alright, next up is Shiroma-doshi. 07:28:28.540 --> 07:28:33.540 The current Shiroma-doshi is a job that's easy to handle even in a healer, 07:28:33.540 --> 07:28:38.040 and there are a lot of players who play it, so it's a very comfortable job. 07:28:38.040 --> 07:28:40.440 There are a few changes in that as well. 07:29:01.560 --> 07:29:05.520 First, there is a 3-point symbol in the job hat. 07:29:05.520 --> 07:29:09.520 This is used when you heal your allies with recovery magic. 07:29:20.520 --> 07:29:22.520 Now I can use the enemy's action. 07:29:30.520 --> 07:29:32.520 You only heal yourself, right? 07:29:35.520 --> 07:30:05.440 So this is directly connected with a new action called Holi Sanctuary. 07:30:05.440 --> 07:30:11.440 that when cast, depletes the gauge and deals damage in proportion to the stack. 07:30:18.440 --> 07:30:34.760 This system's objective is to make the DPS loss in the DPS of the GCD 07:30:34.760 --> 07:30:37.000 global cool-down healing spells. 07:30:37.000 --> 07:30:39.560 Especially in the Conan-D content, 07:30:43.560 --> 07:30:46.760 there was a case where you could turn the GCD into a 07:30:46.760 --> 07:30:52.200 attack magic instead of a recovery magic. 07:30:52.200 --> 07:30:55.240 So this becomes especially relevant in some of the more 07:30:55.240 --> 07:30:58.600 high-level content, where a lot of times white mages are 07:30:58.600 --> 07:31:01.720 asked to ignore global cool-down healing magics to 07:31:01.720 --> 07:31:05.720 to make sure that parties don't fail their DPS checks. 07:31:05.720 --> 07:31:21.720 So we want healing to be a healer's main priority, so this new feature is meant to do just that. 07:31:21.720 --> 07:31:50.640 So, to supplement to that, of course, there will be cast time involved. 07:31:50.640 --> 07:31:56.440 But by casting a global cooldown heal, you will still be able to attack. 07:31:56.440 --> 07:32:02.840 And so it's kind of like a heal plus have DPS and that's how we will have it for the 07:32:02.840 --> 07:32:03.840 Evolved mode. 07:32:03.840 --> 07:32:25.360 In conjunction with this, we've removed casting times for most white mage attack spells. 07:32:25.360 --> 07:32:31.360 We want the main focus to be on healing spells with their cast times and not on the attacks. 07:32:31.360 --> 07:32:32.360 Boom. 07:32:32.360 --> 07:32:57.640 By making non-healing basic attack spells instant, it makes them easier to implement in rotations 07:32:57.640 --> 07:33:03.040 without disrupting healing, and easier to incorporate into duty content strategies. 07:33:19.240 --> 07:33:25.240 Finally, we recognize that a lot of white mages were using the same basic attack spells over and over again. 07:33:25.240 --> 07:33:34.240 So, to alleviate that monotony, we're tweaking certain spells to have different effects, the first and then second times you cast them in a row. 07:33:43.240 --> 07:33:49.240 Alright, so let's see everything in action once more. 07:33:55.240 --> 07:34:18.000 So, we've tweaked a lot of different things and tried our best to make whiteness more 07:34:18.000 --> 07:34:25.840 So we've tweaked a lot of different things and tried our best to make white mage even 07:34:25.840 --> 07:34:38.280 easier to use than before. 07:34:38.280 --> 07:34:43.440 For example, consolidating divine venison and aqua veil into a single action and then 07:34:43.440 --> 07:34:53.440 adding charges to this. 07:34:53.440 --> 07:35:00.440 With temperance to make it easier to use, we've added an extra effect to increase movement speed after casting tempings. 07:35:00.440 --> 07:35:29.160 So, the removal of cast times for basic attack magic and the changes to the global cooldown 07:35:29.160 --> 07:35:34.620 for healing magic to ensure DPS doesn't drop should help make it easier for first time healers 07:35:34.620 --> 07:35:39.420 to get a better grasp of the job. So if you've never played a healer before, now is a great time to start. 07:35:45.420 --> 07:35:47.420 That's all for White Mage? 07:35:59.160 --> 07:36:04.160 I want to do that, but the one that I'm answering this time is the Evolve mode of Shiro Madoushi. 07:36:24.160 --> 07:36:26.160 Now, please return the PowerPoint. 07:36:29.160 --> 07:36:43.060 Okay, so we'll have another demonstration. 07:36:43.060 --> 07:36:44.560 One more job. 07:36:44.560 --> 07:36:51.840 It's a finally we have the range DPS bar. 07:36:51.840 --> 07:37:01.840 Let's have game play one, please. 07:37:01.840 --> 07:37:11.840 Okay, here we are. 07:37:11.840 --> 07:37:23.840 So just like with Dragon, Evolve mode for Bard will see some major changes to the mechanics. 07:37:23.840 --> 07:37:40.840 So the main concept we're aiming for with this is maintaining that Bard's strength as a supporting role 07:37:40.840 --> 07:37:47.320 to other party members while putting more emphasis on songs specifically when and where you execute 07:37:47.320 --> 07:37:49.320 which songs. 07:38:00.760 --> 07:38:05.960 So here we have the performance gauge. This bar is consumed to cast 07:38:05.960 --> 07:38:09.560 Major's Ballad, Army's Payon, and The Wanderer's Minuet. 07:38:23.800 --> 07:38:27.480 So each of these songs grants parties a buff. 07:38:27.480 --> 07:38:33.800 Regents for the Ballad, increased movement speed for the Payon, and barrier for the Minuet. 07:38:33.800 --> 07:38:40.920 and songs can be sung in any order in order to best match what is currently going on in battle. 07:38:40.920 --> 07:39:04.960 So also singing these songs will ready powerful weapon skills that will allow for a variety 07:39:04.960 --> 07:39:06.720 of different play styles. 07:39:06.720 --> 07:39:12.960 For example, after casting singing mages ballad, it opens up a damage over time attack, something 07:39:12.960 --> 07:39:15.080 that bards are already known for. 07:39:29.080 --> 07:39:34.280 And, next, Gunshin's pion will be connected to a fast continuous attack. 07:39:34.280 --> 07:39:57.280 Army's Pion will open up a speedy multi-hit combo. 07:39:57.280 --> 07:40:02.360 And with the Wanderer's Minuet, which after a combo will unleash a devastating single 07:40:02.360 --> 07:40:03.360 Let's try. 07:40:13.360 --> 07:40:14.360 Ho ho! 07:40:14.360 --> 07:40:42.360 So finally, another new way to play with the Evolve mode is introduced with the addition of what is called Wanderer's Era. 07:40:42.360 --> 07:40:47.720 when used in tandem with movement in a certain direction allows the character to jump in that 07:40:47.720 --> 07:40:51.560 direction while shooting. So left, right, front. 07:41:06.680 --> 07:41:10.680 Of course this attack can also be used standing still as well. Don't have to move. 07:41:12.360 --> 07:41:24.360 Alright, so let's take a look at all of these in action one last time. 07:42:12.360 --> 07:42:35.360 We wanted to give Bards that feeling that they're truly supporting their party while also making bow play as smooth and slick as possible. 07:42:35.360 --> 07:42:47.360 If you just turn the rotation, it won't be that difficult, but there are also ways to think about the order of the song that matches the contents, so I think it's a good job to do it. 07:43:05.360 --> 07:43:08.860 I think this is his favorite. 07:43:08.860 --> 07:43:13.860 Well, we'll let Tamaki control the character and I can supplement this. 07:43:35.360 --> 07:43:44.800 So with the Bard in its evolved mode, as you can see the rotations aren't like a set, 07:43:44.800 --> 07:43:48.680 like a static or like it's not predetermined. 07:43:48.680 --> 07:43:53.740 You can choose which song you want to sing at which timing, depending on the trial or 07:43:53.740 --> 07:43:59.520 depending on the battle content or duty that you're tackling and I feel that it 07:43:59.520 --> 07:44:03.640 really brings out the characteristic of the Bard and so it's really interesting 07:44:03.640 --> 07:44:04.640 of life. 07:44:04.640 --> 07:44:12.040 gives the player a lot of freedom to kind of do play the way they want to play rather than following a fixed rotation that we've decided for you. 07:44:12.040 --> 07:44:39.040 I have tested it out myself and again with the freedom of the rotations that you can come 07:44:39.040 --> 07:44:46.560 up with and similar to the Dragoon, it's really something that Tamaki was very particular about. 07:45:16.560 --> 07:45:23.120 freedom to decide when they would use certain attacks and adapt those to the changing battles. 07:45:23.120 --> 07:45:46.900 Once again I did want to reiterate we are still in development of the system so you may see 07:45:46.900 --> 07:45:52.180 some of the actions might be changed or we may make adjustments to the rotation so please 07:45:52.180 --> 07:45:54.180 be advised with that. 07:45:54.180 --> 07:46:02.180 Okay, I think we are okay to switch back to PowerPoint, please. 07:46:02.180 --> 07:46:30.180 So now that we've shown some specific examples from a few jobs, I'd like to touch upon some 07:46:30.180 --> 07:46:34.860 of the changes that we're making to the entire battle system in general to accommodate these 07:46:34.860 --> 07:46:49.060 two modes. And here are some of the changes that we'll see with the launch of Evercold. 07:46:49.060 --> 07:47:00.060 So first off, we'll be moving most synergy actions from both modes. Next we'll be adjusting 07:47:00.060 --> 07:47:03.060 the levels at which actions are acquired. 07:47:03.060 --> 07:47:15.860 And finally, for Evolve mode, we will be defining two different specialties, main and off tanks 07:47:15.860 --> 07:47:22.460 for the tank role. 07:47:22.460 --> 07:47:25.460 So let me explain each in detail because you probably have questions. 07:47:25.460 --> 07:47:34.460 First of all, the strategy for synergy action has changed the effect of the action that increases the impact of party members. 07:47:43.460 --> 07:47:54.460 In terms of synergy action, there were people who liked the strategy because it was a plus on the part of the party play. 07:47:55.460 --> 07:48:02.460 understand that many players enjoy job synergies and party buffs as extensions of party play proficiency. 07:48:02.460 --> 07:48:12.460 We also felt that those synergies had a negative impact to battle. 07:48:12.460 --> 07:48:24.460 First, synergy actions bind many jobs to specific 07:48:24.460 --> 07:48:29.460 22nd rotations, which robs players of freedom in battle. 07:48:29.460 --> 07:48:39.460 Secondly, when there's a mistake made in the rotation, the result can be devastating for the whole party. 07:48:39.460 --> 07:48:52.460 And finally, the dev team, the battle team, is forced to design new job and boss battle mechanics 07:48:52.460 --> 07:49:01.260 mechanics around these existing synergy actions. 07:49:01.260 --> 07:49:09.140 Allow me to chime in on that part. 07:49:09.140 --> 07:49:13.340 So coming to this decision was actually quite hard. 07:49:13.340 --> 07:49:19.340 Especially when you're playing as a party player and fighting with a boss encounter, 07:49:19.340 --> 07:49:33.340 there's a part where you can combine both at the same time and play as a boss. 07:49:33.340 --> 07:49:39.340 And especially with playing as a party and you are tackling the boss encounters, 07:49:39.340 --> 07:49:44.300 is this element where you kind of strategize to match your timing so that you can maximize 07:49:44.300 --> 07:49:51.180 that burst and get that synergy buff and that's kind of what makes party play fun or like 07:49:51.180 --> 07:50:00.980 that's one of the good things about the party play. 07:50:00.980 --> 07:50:07.860 That said there are those disadvantages or like the negative points that Tamaki had 07:50:07.860 --> 07:50:33.140 explained and of course first of all it's with the job actions and considering 07:50:33.140 --> 07:50:40.420 the synergy and having that sort of 120 second timing from a design perspective as well, you 07:50:40.420 --> 07:50:44.740 tend to see similarities across the different jobs. 07:50:44.740 --> 07:51:08.500 And of course, whenever we try to give a little bit more individuality to a job, we see that 07:51:08.500 --> 07:51:14.540 it doesn't align necessarily with the burst timing, so that may cause some frustrations. 07:51:14.540 --> 07:51:19.500 at the same time if we try to match that then players start to ask about well I want to see more 07:51:19.500 --> 07:51:30.860 individuality in the different jobs and it's been a struggle for a very long time and of course the 07:51:30.860 --> 07:51:44.460 lastly the as you can see in the diagram on the bottom and so 07:51:44.460 --> 07:51:47.100 So when the boss fight starts, okay, everybody charges in, 07:51:47.100 --> 07:51:48.260 then they're all ready to go, 07:51:48.260 --> 07:51:49.700 and you're striking the enemy 07:51:49.700 --> 07:51:51.740 as if you're striking a striking dummy. 07:51:59.740 --> 07:52:02.540 And you go through that 120 seconds, two minutes, 07:52:02.540 --> 07:52:04.660 you give it your all, and then you have to wait, 07:52:04.660 --> 07:52:05.500 you have to charge in. 07:52:05.500 --> 07:52:08.340 Basically, yeah, it's talking about the boss is like, 07:52:08.340 --> 07:52:09.780 I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you. 07:52:09.780 --> 07:52:12.460 I'm just gonna wait here while you hit me for a while. 07:52:12.460 --> 07:52:14.460 Yeah, let's sit here. 07:52:14.460 --> 07:52:15.460 Ah! 07:52:42.460 --> 07:53:03.260 And so because of that, it's kind of inevitable that we kind of get a little repetitive in 07:53:03.260 --> 07:53:09.740 these encounters and we want to have something that's unique and when we try to experiment 07:53:09.740 --> 07:53:13.780 then we start running into problems about synergy 07:53:13.780 --> 07:53:15.860 and sometimes there are mechanics 07:53:15.860 --> 07:53:18.820 where when everybody's timing aligns, the boss is gone 07:53:18.820 --> 07:53:20.900 and so that's frustrating. 07:53:20.900 --> 07:53:22.220 We don't want that happening. 07:53:22.220 --> 07:53:26.720 So we really wanted to have players have that freedom 07:53:26.720 --> 07:53:28.540 and then make it a very fun fight. 07:53:28.540 --> 07:53:31.660 So after a lot of deliberating, yeah, 07:53:31.660 --> 07:53:33.700 that's when we came to the decision 07:53:33.700 --> 07:53:38.700 that yeah, we should get rid of the synergy, the actions. 07:53:38.700 --> 07:53:44.540 It's about giving freedom to both the players for you to be able to do what you want and not be 07:53:44.540 --> 07:53:50.300 bound by these cycles, but also give freedom to the developers to create something that is more 07:53:50.300 --> 07:53:57.020 than just the 120 second cycles of attacking and then nothing and attacking and then nothing. 07:53:57.020 --> 07:54:01.820 Now he has more freedom to do a lot crazier things in battle and you have the freedom 07:54:01.820 --> 07:54:03.500 to do a lot crazier things as well. 07:54:08.700 --> 07:54:29.580 Again, like I mentioned at the top, the main concept surrounding these changes is to create 07:54:29.580 --> 07:54:32.380 something that players will enjoy for years to come. 07:54:32.380 --> 07:54:36.700 And we felt that doing away with synergy accents was a step in the right direction to achieve 07:54:36.700 --> 07:54:37.700 this. 07:54:37.700 --> 07:54:53.700 So, for example, like, say, a range DPS may still retain their support actions as a sort of personality or like their individuality, but it's not meant to kind of make your rotation static, and we'll make sure that that's not going to be a problem. 07:54:53.700 --> 07:55:09.700 So for example, like say a range DPS may still retain their support actions as a sort of personality or like their individuality, but it's not meant to kind of make your rotation static and we'll make sure that we are adjusting accordingly. 07:55:09.700 --> 07:55:24.700 So next up, for Evolved Mode specifically, we'll be adjusting the level at which actions are acquired for all jobs. 07:55:24.700 --> 07:55:37.700 So the plan is to have the hot bar full of all necessary actions by level 50. 07:55:37.700 --> 07:56:02.820 So this will not only help solve the problem of action rotations feeling too simplistic when 07:56:02.820 --> 07:56:07.580 playing level sync duties, it will also help newer players to a job get the feel of the 07:56:07.580 --> 07:56:22.500 difference between reborn and evolve modes early on. 07:56:22.500 --> 07:56:28.420 Then after level 50, instead of adding new actions, we'll introduce changes to ones 07:56:28.420 --> 07:56:50.740 already set to the hot bar, such as adding extra effects or derivative actions. 07:56:50.740 --> 07:56:56.380 And so because of this, you will have all the required actions by level, around level 07:56:56.380 --> 07:57:00.380 and you will have your set, so to speak. 07:57:00.380 --> 07:57:06.380 And so I think that makes the Evolve mode a little quicker to get all of your actions in place. 07:57:06.380 --> 07:57:11.380 So if you ever do need to go into the level-synced dungeons in the lower levels, 07:57:11.380 --> 07:57:16.380 I think that Evolve mode might be a good option to choose. 07:57:16.380 --> 07:57:21.880 Finally, we will talk about the role of the main tank and sub tank in Evolve mode. 07:57:21.880 --> 07:57:29.880 To make each tank unique and useful, we decided to separate the main tank and sub tank jobs. 07:57:42.880 --> 07:57:45.880 For example, in the case of the main tank and sub tank jobs, 07:57:45.880 --> 07:58:09.880 For example, main tank jobs will focus on mitigating damage and countering the enemy attacks. 07:58:09.880 --> 07:58:16.380 So Paladin will fall under a main tank roll and the new tank in 8.0 will also be a main tank. 07:58:26.880 --> 07:58:34.380 Off-tank jobs on the other hand will excel at protecting allies and lowering enemy attack, taking on more of a support role. 07:58:39.880 --> 07:58:49.880 This is somewhat similar to how with healers, we have a pure healer and a barrier healer. 07:58:49.880 --> 07:59:02.880 So, and while most content is going to be designed to be able to be cleared without having to worry too much about, 07:59:02.880 --> 07:59:09.560 So, and while most content is going to be designed to be able to be cleared without having to worry too much about 07:59:09.900 --> 07:59:15.800 Which type of tank you have in your party high-end content such as savage and ultimate parties 07:59:16.460 --> 07:59:22.740 These parties will able to clear these duties far more efficiently by taking advantage of both the main and off-roading 07:59:22.740 --> 07:59:47.420 It's so interesting when we talk about tanks and people get really excited about them. 07:59:47.420 --> 07:59:52.420 I do want to point out that this pertains to the Evolved mode, so... 08:00:02.420 --> 08:00:05.420 Do we want to show gameplay one more time? 08:00:11.420 --> 08:00:15.420 Okay, so could we switch one last time to gameplay one, please? 08:00:17.420 --> 08:00:19.420 Oh, somebody's a bad old friend. 08:00:34.120 --> 08:00:42.420 So we've significantly reduced the number of button presses for Evolve mode and number of icons in an effort to make it easier to learn and grasp. 08:00:42.420 --> 08:00:48.920 As a result, it shouldn't take that long for players to grasp the new play style for each of these jobs. 08:01:00.920 --> 08:01:07.920 So hopefully this will open up more avenues for players to choose different jobs for different duties. 08:01:07.920 --> 08:01:10.320 Maybe in one, you'll want to play Dragoon. 08:01:10.320 --> 08:01:12.820 Maybe in a different duty, you'll want to play Bard. 08:01:12.820 --> 08:01:14.020 And that will better suit you. 08:01:14.020 --> 08:01:16.520 This mode will give you the freedom to branch out. 08:01:24.520 --> 08:01:26.320 Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho! 08:01:27.020 --> 08:01:28.220 What happened to the... 08:01:28.220 --> 08:01:29.320 You made a mistake. 08:01:29.320 --> 08:01:30.720 Ah, you made a mistake. 08:01:30.720 --> 08:01:32.520 You killed the striking dummy! 08:01:32.520 --> 08:01:34.220 You made a mistake in the explosion. 08:01:34.220 --> 08:01:36.520 The wrong macro. 08:01:37.920 --> 08:01:39.920 The wood is going to explode. 08:02:37.920 --> 08:02:52.040 So today we were only able to show 4 different types of enemies. 08:02:52.040 --> 08:03:01.160 So today we were only able to show 4 different types of enemies. 08:03:01.160 --> 08:03:12.440 So today we were only able to show four jobs, which might be limited in number, but I feel 08:03:12.440 --> 08:03:25.520 that we were able to show how these jobs will feel differently in the evolved mode. 08:03:25.520 --> 08:03:28.520 Let us go back to the PowerPoint one last time, please. 08:03:39.080 --> 08:03:43.240 So, of course, today, Tamaki went through and explained 08:03:43.240 --> 08:03:47.240 how our battle system is going to be updated moving forward. 08:03:55.520 --> 08:04:04.840 And of course, Tamaki is very responsible for this concept, but I think it also includes 08:04:04.840 --> 08:04:21.080 all of us that work on the battle elements, me included, having this main concept. 08:04:21.080 --> 08:04:27.000 And of course, since around we're born for 13 years, we've continued to update and make 08:04:27.000 --> 08:04:29.000 adjustments to this game. 08:04:51.080 --> 08:05:02.520 And of course, with all of this foundation underneath us, we're looking to bring in more new players, 08:05:02.520 --> 08:05:12.400 but then also to be able to make enjoyment, to bring enjoyment to those people who are wanting more excitement 08:05:12.400 --> 08:05:21.280 and for people to continue playing for a long time and have that freedom to with each encounter 08:05:21.280 --> 08:05:26.320 try to experiment different strategies and in different sort of approaches to them. 08:05:26.320 --> 08:05:55.320 As such, we would love your support for our battle system team, our battle combat team, and the developers back home. 08:05:55.320 --> 08:05:58.480 Can we get a few closing words from you, Tamaki? 08:06:16.480 --> 08:06:20.600 So not to repeat myself, but the reborn and evolved modes 08:06:20.600 --> 08:06:24.120 are about creating an easy to use intuitive control 08:06:24.120 --> 08:06:28.600 scheme to help not only new players but also get those players who maybe have 08:06:28.600 --> 08:06:33.240 stopped playing a lot of battle content back into the ring again. 08:06:44.680 --> 08:06:48.440 On top of that it's about giving more options to players who already enjoy 08:06:48.440 --> 08:06:53.960 Final Fantasy 14's battles and opening up even more jobs and roles to them. 08:06:54.120 --> 08:07:05.480 And 8.0 certainly won't mark the end of the changes either. 08:07:05.480 --> 08:07:09.860 Final Fantasy XIV still has a lot of life in it, and we'll continue to look to evolve 08:07:09.860 --> 08:07:12.320 the battle systems for as long as we need to. 08:07:24.120 --> 08:07:33.120 You did it! You filled your first death panel at a fan festival.
