The August issue of Famitsu PSP + PS3 has been released and inside is an interivew with Mizuki Ito and Daisuke Sase. These are the people behind the creation of such monsters as Pandemonium Warden and Absolute Virtue. Suteki, a member of the editorial team for Vanatsuu (A Final Fantasy XI mook) sat down with these members of the development team to talk about the creation of their more recent monster: Pandemonium Warden.
One of the more interesting parts of the interview is the mention that Pandemonium Warden was originally intended to be Asura. There is also discussion about how they expected players to fight the final boss of the ZNM system as well as how they test monsters like Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden before they’re introduced into the game.
Every two weeks “From The Forums” will provide a list of popular and interesting topics that are being discussed on Final Fantasy XI community forums.
Our new Forum Scouts are hard at work going through several forums to dig up some great threads to share with us.
With the announcement of the head gear for “A Moogle Kupo d”Etat” earlier this week, many of the job sections on the community forums are buzzing with the different augments that would be best suited for the different jobs. If you’re curious about what other players are thinking about getting, make sure to check out the job specific forums on the different sites.
The announcement of the new head gear in “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat” sparked the memory of several community members with their interesting designs. Two of the newly announced armor pieces seem to have originally been part of a previous Final Fantasy game.
Both the Champion’s Galea and Selenian Cap can be seen in Final Fantasy III (which was also directed by FFXI Director Hiromichi Tanaka) as the armor worn by the “Knight” and “Magus” job classes. It has also been seen now that the Nuevo Coselete that was released in “A Crystalline Prophecy” also bares a striking resemblance to the armor of the “Knight” class.
Each character in Final Fantasy III had slight differences in their armor when compared to the other members with the same job selected. Even more interesting is that the pieces that have been selected to appear in Final Fantasy XI all seem to originate from the design of one particular character in FFIII: Refia.
The Chinese government has come to the decision that virtual currency can no longer be traded for real world items or services.
The Chinese ministries stated:
The virtual currency, which is converted into real money at a certain exchange rate, will only be allowed to trade in virtual goods and services provided by its issuer, not real goods and services.
In Final Fantasy XI banned accounts and gil are slowly increasing. With an estimated 80-85% of the worlds RMT located in China, this law is sure to decrease the number of RMTs not only in FFXI but other large MMOs as well.
