Dev Tracker - Discussion

People on the official forums have asked about being able to reforge NQ and +1 artifact/relic/empyrean faster; I wonder if that's what the furnace in the zone is, basically a second Monisette to allow twice as many reforges at once.

If the content level is only going up to 130, that doesn't sound consistent with what they've treated as appropriate for higher tier upgrades. Omen is, what, 139, and Dynamis - Divergence is 149; you'd expect something higher for upgrades over and above what that content allows.

I'm thinking this is an alternate path for the lower tier armors that allows you to bypass Rem's Tales at the cost of having to actually do stuff for your materials instead of just buying them on the auction house.

Alternatively, the lower level might be to compensate for it sounding like party-scale content again, basically just making an alternate path for Omen (which... is pretty doable in a party anyway, if you're after artifact upgrades?) and Dyna-D.

Could still be augments, the relic/magian aug struct allows for up to 4 total augments to be added to it. 5 if they don't still support magians on 119(i think they do, though). Every relic piece only uses one, so 3-4 more to play with.

... it's going to be evoliths, isn't it.

--Could you please give us an overview of what New Limbus will be about?

Fujito: New Limbus will be implemented as non-occupying battle content that multiple people can participate in at the same time.

New Limbus will be designed so that you can play solo whenever you want, and we are proceeding with the development without setting any specific time limits for stays.

Also, while there are already many playable content such as Ambuscades that can be played in circles, New Limbus is designed to be more fun the more people participate, in order to meet the requests of players who want to play with more people and fight together.

We have also lowered the required costs for enhancing artifacts and relic outfits, so that players can easily create the enhancements that were previously implemented (up to +3).

We want players to be able to create even higher levels in New Limbus. These relaxations are intended to allow beginners and returning players to quickly catch up to the equipment of adventurers who have been playing for many years.

Now that the crossover content "Echoes of Vana'diel" has been implemented in "FFXIV," more and more people are becoming interested in "FFXI."

We've seen a lot of people who used to be adventurers but are now playing again after a long time, so we want them to get through the previously tedious process of strengthening their equipment as quickly as possible.

--The new Limbus will be a non-occupied area, but what will the interactions with other players be like?

Fujito: If it's an occupied area, you'll inevitably end up forming a fixed group to conquer it, but it's also tough to have multiple people fighting just one enemy like in the Domain Invasion.

So we're aiming for content that allows you to adjust the strength of enemies to a certain extent, and allows you to join where everyone else is fighting, without getting in the way of others, and without having to be considerate of people who are already fighting. Of course, you can participate in a party, and there's no problem with forming a party with people who are already fighting there.

--What about the strengthening of the Trusts, which you mentioned a little earlier?

Fujito: This is still in the idea stage, so it's not set in stone, but we're not thinking about just raising the parameters of the trustees.

For example, we're thinking of something like equipment that can be set for each type of trustee, such as a shield type or a mage type trustee.

It's similar to the idea of ​​automaton attachments. For a shield type, you could set equipment that makes you resistant to physical attacks, or magical attacks, so it would be something that would allow for a certain degree of customization.

My theory is that a metric shitton of people are going to immediately start a farmbot in there then be shocked when SE bans them because it's their precious new content and they ruined it for everyone else.
