Once the Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live LXXXI really got to it, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio “Foxclon” Murouchi went over some general changes to things like the level caps, actions, and Action change Settings feature for jobs. While initially, they offered an overview of information, much of the focus went to the Action Change Settings and how this will affect gameplay.
First, Yoshida and Murouchi mentioned how the level cap will be increased to 100 for all jobs in FFXIV. This also means new actions for each role. The two then went over how the balance updates and changes this time are designed around quality of life changes. The official slide during the showcase mentioned this is about “ease of use” for players and considering their feedback from playing. Specifically, Yoshida noted they looked at what people were saying after the Endwalker expansion and patches following the 6.0 update.
From there, Yoshida and Murouchi discussed the FFXIV Dawntrail Action Change Settings addition. People will be able to choose if a changing action will be replaced. Yoshida clarified that this is part of the ease of use and quality of life adjustments. It is to prevent “undesired activation” and not to affect the amount of DPS someone deals. The goal is to allow further customization of control schemes and prevent the wrong buttons from being pressed.
A slide shared during this part of the discussion showed how the Action Change Settings in the Action & Traits menu will look in FFXIV Dawntrail. It will appear under the action, with the example showing the Dragoon and the Jump and Elusive Jump.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Dawntrail expansion debuts on July 2, 2024.
