Interesting thing
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/241...ation_revealed/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201404/26052432.htmlThere is a secret path near Camp Bentbranch that lets you in from the back (see screenshot). The "shortcut" was originally meant to be made impassable but a designer used this path frequently so it was left this way.
Rainbows can appear in the sky when the weather changes from rain to clear. However, they don't always appear and can depend on a number of factors.
Items that can be obtained from Retainer Ventures were originally not that great. But after Yoshida demanded that the rewards should be made better, the possible list of items ended up including almost everything that is not Unique-traited.
After completing the Crystal Tower questline, the NPC Rammbroes will provide information on the world setting in the form of reports when you speak to him in St. Coinach's.
The debuff cast by the Gremlin in the Lost City of Amdapor can be dispelled by performing the emote "Comfort" or "Rally" on the affected person.Within the development team, there exists a group of people from various departments referred to as the Minion Alliance. The group consists of perfectly grown men gathered in the smoking break room coming up with ideas like making wolf pups and coeurl kittens fight with each other when they get close to each other.
The Manderville Dance was originally meant to be one of a series of planned race-specific dances. The Manderville was meant for Lalafells, but when it was tested on a Highlander it became very comical, so it was upgraded from a race-specific dance to a reward from the Hildibrand questline.
The Moogle Doll's seams were made too realistic and looked scary. This will be addressed in 2.3 (see screenshot).
If you place all of the instrument furniture items within your house and play them all at the same time, you will get the Haukke Manor's BGM.If you approach the Miqo'te NPCs down at the beach of the Limsa Lominsa housing area, they will fan you with their leaves.
Gerolt, the NPC related to obtaining job-specific relic weapons, was designed to be a hated character ("as despicable as puke (puke = "gero" in Japanese)), and therefore was named thus.
The female conjurer Edda from the Main Story was originally meant to join the Scions later on in the story. However, due to her popularity, an even better scenario now awaits her. Edda is now planned to appear in the new hard mode dungeon in 2.3 (Tam-Tara?)
Hildibrand was originally designed to be a Lalafell named Ronan Cognan. However, due to his manner of speech as an "Inspector Extraordinaire" not matching his appearance, he was suddenly changed into a Highlander.
There is a passionate "fan" of Hildibrand's assistant Nashu. You can often see him in the background of the cutscenes.
The "shakiiin" sound effect made when a Duty Finder match is made was originally meant for Limit Breaks. But out of concern that a silent DF match would not be user-friendly, this sound effect was inserted as a temporary placeholder. However, this sound ended up matching the DF better than anything else, so it became official.
The treasure map texture in FFXIV was lifted straight out of the world map in Tactics Ogre, which itself originally came from a coffee-stained piece of copy paper sitting on the desk of former co-worker Yoshida Akihiko.
Many people play the PC version of FFXIV while browsing the internet. Setting the sound to continue playing even when the game is not the active application via system settings will allow you to hear that "shakiiin" even while browsing.
Turning off the option to change resolution via mouse drag/scrolls in system settings will prevent accidental changes to screen display size.
Turning on gamepad support in system settings will allow the game to continue to receive input even when the game is running in the background.
Right clicking job icons in windows where they are displayed (e.g. Party Finder) will allow you to select/deselect multiple jobs at once.
Clicking on the Gil icon will switch the display to GC seals. Tomestones may also be added to this display in the future.
If you set your computer monitor display to "portrait" mode, the game will also shift it's display accordingly. This can be useful in places like character creation when you want to check out your character's whole body without zooming in and out.
