FFXIV Interviews & Articles

Here we are going to talk about the FFXIV Interviews & Articles, all three interviews/articles contain some new information which FFXIVcore.com users have graciously translated.

• JPGames.de: Question 3 inquires about using the same account on a PC and PS3.

  The reply is that players can log into the account on the PC, then log off and get on with the PS3. The data is stored on the same server with the only difference being the device used to display it. Tanaka-san also explains that you need only to pay for one account to access from both PC and PS3. [Translator note: Though Tanaka-san did not say it explicitly, you probably cannot log on to the same account from both devices at the exact same time.]

• Famitsu.com: As we were playing, it suddenly started to rain. It looks like the weather changes from time to time. Right now it seems like it's just a visual effect, but it may eventually affect your weapon's performance.

  Monster placement has changed since alpha, and brings with it a new variety of beasts. If you look carefully, you can even see airships flying about. Fans of the series will no doubt be eager to learn how these come into play.

• 4Gamer.net Beta Preview: Now that we've taken a crack at the actual beta release, we feel we ought to revisit some things we've talked about in other play reports. Let's talk guildleves. By using 'guardian favor' during a quest, you can receive a buff. Ours was an increase rate of skill ups.

  This favor is doled out automatically every twelve hours and caps at 200. The cost of this buff is just one at a time in beta, but this may vary. It makes this quite convenient and harkens back to Fields of Valor in FFXI.
