FINAL FANTASY XIV fans the world round, the twelfth Letter from the Producer has arrived for your viewing pleasure!
Hello again, all fans of FINAL FANTASY XIV!
Information on 1.18 has recently started popping up on Topics, and today I’ll touch on some details about this patch as well as talk about our balance reform plans. In particular, I’ll be casting the spotlight on guildleves. Now, to give you due warning, this letter is going to be a wall of text. This isn’t without good reason, though—the content can only be described as pivotal, and I ask you to bear with me to the last word.

Now that the Ebisu event is over, a report has been posted on the site for the event detailing everything that was discussed. You can find a summary of the information posted as well as an additional piece of information from the event about special craft projects after the jump!
You can read the full report on the event’s website which also includes information about each city-state’s mission line.
Alpha testing continues for Final Fantasy XIV at the rate of one to three testing windows per region per week. This week, we have 4Gamer’s take on how the alpha is progressing.
The report starts with a general warning to visitors of the site. Things in the alpha build have vastly improved from how they started. People had trouble just being able to log into the servers. Even if they got in, some had troubles doing anything due to lag. Then recently, video of in-game play was uploaded to the Internet by players breaking their NDAs. The reporter says that people need to keep in mind that FFXIV is just at the alpha stage and still not the quality we should expect from the final product.
The bulk of the report is about the Guildleve system. First, a review of what the Guildleve system is all about. 4Gamer summarizes it as a user friendly growth system. To begin a Guildleve, first, players must obtain something that looks similar to a tarot card. Then, they head out to an Aetheryte crystal to begin the quest related to that card. There is a wide range of Guildleves for players to choose from. Some are designed for people that wish to spend their time soloing. Some are designed for parties of different sizes. This system allows people to complete quests with a relatively light amount of preparation and time.
