FFXIV Dev Tracker: August 2-3


How to SS Chatlog? [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> Good news for those of you who love to take screenshots! In ARR there will be a key to take a screenshot with the UI hidden and then another key that will allow you to take a screenshot with the UI displayed. :)

Primal battles in 2.0 [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> While we can't say too much at this time regarding Primal-related content... we can say that it will only be possible to fight them with the current strategies and balance in the current version.

60fps cap for 2.0? [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> Heya guys! While the details have not yet been decided, we are planning to make it possible to select from 30fps, 60fps and uncapped settings. ^_^

Dear Camate [Link >>]
Camate confirmed for 2.0
Camate>> This made my day! Too awesome! I also made it my twitter profile icon :P Thanks!

Moonfire Faire – Bombard Backlash (07/30/2012) [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> We have been seeing some comments about not being able to clear the event as the number of participants is starting to drop as we get closer to the end of the event. We urge those having trouble to try out the event at each of the city-state's around the realm and see how you fare! *cough*
Also, some players have been wondering if it will be possible to use the new dance emote after the event has ended. Unfortunately this emote is a special one that can only be used during the event. The /blowkiss emote from Valentione’s Day is something that can be used outside of the event, so as a special case we added it to the regular array of emotes.

Discontinued Content in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> While views about achievements will differ from person to person, we feel that achievements that were accomplished during the current version of the game should be reflected in A Realm Reborn. With that said we will be making it so points gained from achievements in the current version are carried over to ARR, and those achievements will remain displayed in the achievement UI as well. 
Also keep in mind that incomplete achievements from the current version that will no longer be available in ARR will not be displayed in the achievement UI.

Server Crash [Link >>]

Rukkirii>> We wanted to pass along some info as to why sometimes you'll run into the server or area going down but not see a notice about it:
Servers are monitored 24/7/365, and if anything goes wrong we immediately get to work on restoration. In the event that these issues affect a large amount of players, multiple areas, and the problem persists for a long time, we will make an announcement on the Lodestone and support center, but I’d like to explain why we do not want to do this for other issues. 
In the case that the issue occurs only for a short time or the range of its effect is not very wide, we do not make an announcement via News since it has the negative effect of burying more important announcements. 
We apologize that there are not other means of checking server status, but for A Realm Reborn we will be working on a feature for the launcher that will allow you to check on the server status.
Also, we have received comments about “ninja patches” for materia creation rates and dark light equipment drop rates, but this has never taken place. There would only be two cases when a decision to perform this kind of patch would take place and that is when something is left out of the patch notes or if the game is behaving in a way that was not originally planned due to a bug or other reason.

Van Darnus's Song's Latin Lyrics [Link >>]

Camate>> The other day I went on a rant at work and Bayohne called me crazy, because I was looping the Darnus song and swore that they were saying “Imperium, imperium, imperium ave.” Vindication is oh so sweet, because it seems players picked up on this as well!
It just so happens that there is a very good reason for this!
Grammatically the lyrics we introduced are correct:

Imperium!
Imperium!
Ave imperium!

However, what is actually sung is:

Imperium!
Imperium!
Imperium ave

“Imperium ave” is grammatically not really a natural expression; however, Latin is an extremely ambiguous language and it seems when Latin is sung anything goes, making this inversion okay!
Being a linguist, this kind of stuff gets me quite excited :P
