So didn't see this on here but this is a translation of the Live Letter with Yoshi and there is some short discussion on crafting, dol and a mention of fishing AF? I would highly suggest reading this as there is some quality stuff in here and very good questions. Especially about the housing and some ps3 information. https://docs.google.com/...eview?pli=1&sle=truesome pictures: http://forum.square-enix...r-LIVE-Part-III-PicturesEdited by user Friday, September 14, 2012 9:39:43 AM(UTC)

It was certainly an interesting Live Letter even though I didn't understand one word (except once when Yoshi-P clearly said Behemoth  ) The translation in the link is a great addition to having seen the live letter and I recommend reading it. I was a little unsure about how gathering worked and to me it seemed like you could choose what you wanted to gather and the translation confirmed this. What this means is that we should now be able to very accurately target what we want to gather. Then there is a percentage chance to actually get it and I guess that percentage is based on your level. But this really makes it easy to go out and get exactly what you need and I guess at level 50 you should be able to get most things without much difficulty. We will have to wait and see. No word on whether or not we are getting grade 6 though... |

I would just add that the Q and A is also really interesting: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/54357 |

Aaaaand.... a little more (interesting info): Lodestone wrote:
Q: How will crafting and gathering change in A Realm Reborn?
A: [Answered while demonstrating on screen] For crafting we will have something known as a crafting journal, and when you select the item you would like to make from the journal, it will be possible to confirm how many materials are necessary and select which materials you will use from the list. Also, we will be implementing something known as CP, so as long as you have them you will be able to execute actions and craft continuously. Additionally, it will be possible to craft in mass quantities.
In regards to gathering, we will be making it possible to select whether gathering points are displayed via an ability. Depending on the gathering point the items you can gather will differ, but depending on your experience you will be able to determine the items you can gather and it will be possible to use actions to aim for the items you want to gather.
In A Realm Reborn, when making a new character we will be limiting the class selection choice to battle classes only. After proceeding through the tutorials your character will grow and the Armoury system will be unlocked, thus enabling you to change into a Disciple of Land or Hand class.
Once again this confirms that we will be able to target the exact item we are looking for provided level is high enough. If not there will be a list of "unknowns" to choose from and that list will become more and more known once you level up. If you are targeting a specific known item it seems that you will either get exactly this item or nothing. Also... it's clear that you wont be able to start out as a gatherer or crafter. I would assume the tutorials are not too long, but I still find this to be an odd choice. |

And just a little more info... you can see the entire live letter here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGgxS3Lkc4A but it is rather low quality. At app. 22 minutes you are able to see how logging works though. It seems that crystals/shards are now something you can target rather than a by-product of gathering. |
