Découvrez la Legacy Campaign et la Campagne Bon retour !

Greetings,

Now that everyone has had a chance to look over the information and had some time to digest it, let me try and answer some of the questions that have been popping up!

Regarding the special chocobo mount for Legacy members
There were questions like "what's the difference between our current personal chocobo and the Legacy one?" as well as "So does this mean we can have two? Will they have different features from our current chocobo?" Currently, the only differences will be visual and we're not planning on there being any feature differences (faster run speed, etc.). In version 2.0, we’re planning new chocobo-related content which will allow you to have more than one chocobo.

Regarding the updated subscription plans and the consolidation of service fee/character fees
The big question being "does this mean we get 40 characters for Legacy/Standard and 8 for Entry for the monthly fee?" Yes, that is correct. You will be able to create up to 40 characters (8 per World) with the Legacy/Standard subscription and 8 (1 per World) with the Entry subscription.

The previous model is being done away with and the two separate fees are being consolidated into one monthly fee. As for what this means for the current Retainer and Market Wards, Yoshida touched on it lightly, but mainly we ask that you wait for further details in regards to the changes planned for the in-game systems.

Regarding the eligibility period and notification of eligibility
Even if you start FFXIV fresh today, and have 30-days of free time, you'll still be able to qualify for the Legacy pricing. We're planning announcements so that everyone will know exactly when the cut off timing will be. When it comes to "how will we know for sure if we're in?", we're planning to email the email address associated to your Square Enix account sometime in May. You'll also be able to log in and check your status via the Square Enix account management system.

Keep your questions, comments and feedback coming!

The reason Yoshi-P mentioned; “this one package plan makes the pricing simpler and more standardized (plus the pricing is less expensive than the on-going industry standard)” made sense to me!

Thanks for the follow-up! As I wrote in the Producer Letter, my intention was exactly what you stated. The game system is not the reason we decided to change the standards. MMORPGs are a great chance for you to role-play and the larger variety of characters you have available, the more you can enjoy the role-play aspect, in my opinion. ^^

Characters on the same account cannot be logged in simultaneously. Thus the direct impact for us is only the database storage size. As it doesn’t impact the stress on the servers, we just estimated the database cost and decided to allow up to 40 characters.
(As announced, under the Standard or Legacy plan, you can create up to 8 characters per World across multiple Worlds and up to 40 characters total. Please note that there may be cases when you cannot create a new character on the World that reached capacity, due to server stress of concurrent logins.)

As for the Retainers, please bear with me until we can announce further details including the content related to that. One thing I can say is that the current Retainer system may change as the concept of the Market system will change drastically.

the concept of the Market system will change drastically.

Yoshi-P a dit que « ce système d’abonnement rend la facturation plus simple et plus standardisée (et le prix est plus bas que les standards dans l’industrie) » cela a du sens pour moi !

Bonjour, ici le producteur/directeur Naoki Yoshida.

Merci d’avoir repris cette information ! Comme écrit dans ma lettre du Producteur, mon intention était bien celle ci. Nous n’avons pas décidé de faire ces changements à cause du jeu lui-même. Les MMORPGs offrent la chance aux joueurs de faire du jeu de rôle et plus il est possible d’avoir des personnages variés, plus on peut apprécier les jeux de rôles à mon avis.

Les personnages présents sur le même compte de service ne peuvent être connectés simultanément. De ce fait cette mesure possède uniquement un effet sur l’espace de stockage dans notre base de données. Comme cela ne stresse pas les serveurs, nous avons estimé les coûts et autorisé jusqu’à 40 personnages. (Comme annoncé dans les niveaux d’abonnement Legacy et Standard, il est possible de créer jusqu’à 8 personnages par Monde, sur plusieurs Mondes et jusqu’à 40 personnages au total. Veuillez noter cependant qu’il peut ne pas être possible de créer un personnage sur un Monde étant plein, afin d’éviter que trop de joueurs se connectent en même temps).

Concernant les servants, soyez patient en attendant que je révèle plus d’informations. Je peux dire une chose cependant, le système de servants changera en conjonction avec l’évolution drastique des quartiers marchands.
