Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Sadly no; The plastic bags are a hindrance to the environment no matter what you do with them.

Unless you make them out of fabric and just misname them "plastic bags"

Almost as scared as I am for that kid in that language arts class.

Top of the page.... (Gang/crew name....... Crib.....)

What the actual ***?

Also, why is he doing basic math in language arts class?

plastic bag - 500-1000 years

So Yoshida talked of removing acc from the game

I haven't seen this, do you have a link?

Yoshida: On the other hand, we've seen a lot of feedback that accuracy itself is dull so we've talked about getting rid of it. Right now, items can't be designed without including accuracy to some extent. Players work to figure out the accuracy required, and it can be an interesting problem to balance the accuracy until you're always hitting the target, but the preference is divided. Moreover, there are players at the casual level who are not even aware of accuracy so it's gotten to the point where accuracy may not make sense as a parameter.

From the translation on an interview on bg

Yoshida: Yeah. Last time, the story was that you were building an airship - this time the theme is repairing the palace. The moogles have entered into a contract with the dragon Hraesvelgr to repair the palace [[this place has a specific name that I can't think of, and I don't want to call it White Castle]]. But because of the long distance from Moghome to the location, they weren't able to begin the large scale construction work right away. Because of that, the moogles decided to make a base in front of the palace where people, moogles, and dragons can interact.

A dedicated quest occurs after the deep dungeon.

The deep dungeon "Palace of the Dead" which will be released with patch 3.35 is a bit different from other existing content.

Yoshida: It will be different from the traditional image of one tank, one healer, two DPS.

Will it be like a separate game with different rules from the outside world?

Yoshida: That's right. Also with regards to the parameters, since attack and defense force are only based on the two pieces, weapon and armor, the calculations used will be different from the outside world.

I think it will introduce its own matching.

Yoshida: Since matching will be regardless of role, you can enter with all four people as DPS, for example.

How do you recover?

Yoshida: You should pretty much be set with natural recovery, but if you bring potions it might be easier.

Can you change jobs inside?

Yoshida: You cannot. Instead, there are a number of items which can only be used in the deep dungeon.

Like what, for example?

Yoshida: One reveals all the masked areas of the map, and another transforms the adventurer into a manticore that can beat all enemies with one punch. Since you become so strong you'll want to rush through the area, but you'll have to take care not to step on a land mine which could cause a catastrophe (laughs).

(Laughs) How many floors are in the structure in total?

Yoshida: At this time the deepest part will be the 50th floor, but we plan to add up to floor 200 later on.

Will there be a dedicated scenario for this?

Yoshida: Yeah. This episode will be "Palace of the Dead." Once people meet certain conditions and clear it, there will be some separate side quests. After you've seen those, you can look forward to the next edition.

So there may be further development.

Yoshida: As we add to the Palace of the Dead, you'll find out more about the truth behind it.

How will armor be strengthened?

Yoshida: When you open a treasure box, your equipment will be strengthened. As you advance, it will be easier to continue if you upgrade the equipment. By the way, potions will also be upgraded in recovery amount and recast time to increase their usefulness, so they will help a lot.

Will the effects and recast changes to potions be exclusively within Palace of the Dead?

Yoshida: They will change throughout the game. However, ethers and medicines that restore MP will be the same as before so as to not affect black mage's DPS.

So it will be useful to have potions available.

Yoshida: Yeah, it will be.

What other items can you use from outside in the dungeon besides potions?

Yoshida: Pretty much anything. You should probably go with a Phoenix Down in case you have four DPS (laughs).

Without a Phoenix Down there's no way to be revived inside?

Yoshida: In the 29th Producer Letter LIVE, we mentioned that there would be various effects that would occur when you touch the ankh. Here you'll finally be able to raise, and all other effects must be obtained from the treasure box.

How can you revive with the ankh?

Yoshida: When you touch the active ankh, an ally without the active battle state will be resurrected.

What's the "game over" condition?

Yoshida: A full wipe of the party. Since all players will exit the combat state when you touch the ankh, you should bring a Phoenix Down.

Since Phoenix Downs have the rare attribute, you can only have one.

Yoshida: That's true, please alternate using them (laughs).

Anything else we should note?

Yoshida: Since traps can appear, please be careful.

Will there be traps you can swing over like in "Shiren the Wanderer"?

Yoshida: Nothing like that (laughs).

When will the next update of Palace of the Dead take place?

Yoshida: It will be around patch 3.45 or patch 3.5.

Siri is an idiot.

Well, unless we're talking about the...ahem... actress with the same name.

Dunno the original name. Something about a triceratops in Alaska.

Nvm that it's not a tric I was mistaken. Main character's called Patchi or soemthing.
