Final Fantasy XIV : June Producer's Letter
The latest Final Fantasy XIV Producer's Letter has been posted on the official forums. What makes it all the more interesting is the inclusion of a video spotlighting some of the features that are currently under development. Visuals are always good to get the point across.
I'll release all the juicy particulars closer to the release date, but for now here's a rough sketch of the changes that are in the pipes, organized into bullet points.
.Auto-attack functionality will be prioritized in 1.18.
.Attack motion diversification and fine-tuning are planned for 1.19.
.Battle classes only will receive auto-attack.
.The stamina gauge will be abolished with the introduction of auto-attack.
.Recast timers will be adjusted for certain actions obtained via quests and guild marks whose action costs were managed solely through the stamina gauge.
.Certain actions dependent on the stamina gauge will have their effects adjusted.
.Characters will be made able to switch between passive and active modes while moving.
.Multiple attacks during auto-attack is also being planned for the future.
