We are pleased to announce that the first episode of Moogle-Go-Round radio is available! Paul and Chille talk about PvP, discuss a bit about the PAX East panel, and other random shenanigans. Give it a listen and tell us what you think!
The next episode of Phoenix Down Radio will air live at 9:30 ET/6:30 PT at twitch.tv/phoenixdownradio. Tune in as we discuss the FFXIV Panel and announcements from PAX East, the new Patch 3.3 info from the Producer Live Letter scheduled for April 29th, and talk about our experience at Anime Detour this past weekend.
For those who may have missed the FFXIV panel at PAX East this weekend, the big news announced by Yoshi-P and crew is the inclusion of a new type of “Deep Dungeon” slated for release in patch 3.35. “The Palace of the Dead” is a bottomless dungeon found in the Black Shroud and populated by an army of undead souls. This sounds like a lot of fun, and I personally can’t wait to experience it. Below are a couple of screen shots of the dungeon and additional info. (Images via imgur user AnalogAndroid)
The next Final Fantasy XIV Producer Live Letter has been scheduled for Friday, April 29th at 12AM PDT. The podcast will be streamed live on the FFXIV YouTube Live, Twitch, and NicoNico Live channels.
Yoshi-P and crew will be talking about Patch 3.3 part 1 and feature special guest Akihiro Hino, president and CEO of Level-5, a Japanese video game developer.
We will be discussing the news and info from the PLL on the next episode of Phoenix Down Radio. If you miss the live stream, stop by Saturday night, and we will fill you in on all the latest!
From an interview on Dutch gaming website Gamer.nl, Producer/Director Yoshi-P talks about a number of things in FFXIV, including the reason behind postponing the official API for the game. Redditor Zanzargh was able to post a good translation of the interview in the comments. The two biggest takeaways in my opinion from this interview are the following:
Gamer.nl: In the past there was often talk about the addition of an API for add-ons, so players can add extra’s to the interface. How’s that going?
This is postponed because there’s big concerns over DPS-meters. If we would add this system in it’s current form, I’m concerned players would argue about having or not having such a dps meter. That’s why we still have to decide if the use of such a DPS meter will be made available. Currently we’re discussing about add-ons which you can use to make design changes in the interface, to have skins for example.
A half year after A Realm Reborn released, we considered implementing addons. We thought about enabling addons in the pc-version, annd later release these features for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. We realised however that this is difficult on consoles, because there’s not enough storage space on these systems.
Our biggest concern is making a notable difference between the pc-version of the game, and the game on other platforms through enabling addons. This is why we postponed this feature. It should be noted that doesn’t mean we cancelled our plans for addons, but we want to first focus on official features for the game.
Gamer.nl: As there is no API yet: what do you think of the add-ons players make themselves, like the unofficial API?
Final Fantasy 14 is also available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, on which these unofficial add-ons are not available. Because of this, we don’t want to proactively support these alternatives as the FF14 team. As pc-gamer I’m personally not against the use of player-made addons. I do think these addons should only be used for personal enjoyment however. Sorry, I unfortunately can’t say more than that, I hope you understand.
