Information on Mog Gardens

Hello,

I'd like to give a simple explanation of Mog Gardens, which is previously what we referenced as "Back on the Ranch" at VanaFest 2012. Most of this information has been confirmed at the current point in time, but there might be a possibility changes do occur, and we appreciate your understanding.

What's a Mog Garden?
A Mog Garden is a small island floating in the Adoulin archipelago, and the property rights are granted by the Adoulin government to those deemed true pioneers. This allows the pioneers to freely utilize and extract all of the resources it has to offer. To put it simply, the government has said that pioneers are free to do as they please with the things they procure on the island.

What kind of resources are there?
The below resources points have been found on the islands:

  • Beautiful beaches
    Various things are carried by the gently rolling waves. Of course, you can fish as well. Not a fan catching some sun rays? Well, we've thought of that, and have prepared a beach umbrella!



  • Trees and thick vegetation
    You can harvest on your island and you might even find some strange logs or plants native to Ulbuka. Originally, special items were needed for harvesting, but here, your moogle will provide what you need!

  • Springs
    There are hints of fish in this crystal clear water, and fishing if possible here as well. There are nets set up at both the coast and the spring, so you might just pull in some big fish!

  • Bare mineral deposits
    You'll be able to mine at these locations. The islands of the Adoulin archipelago are famous for the cornucopia of minerals. While you originally needed a pick axe for mining, once again, your moogle will provide what you need.

  • Moogle field
    In the center of the island there is nutrient-rich soil, and something is sure to grow if you plant a seed here. Different from gardening, there is no need to worry about withering here! Try and plant a variety of seeds.


Through the above, it will be possible to obtain different materials, plants, and marine products from these resources. Depending on the coalition ranks, you can also obtain things that will be beneficial to your Mog Garden.

So wait, it's not a farm?
Don't you worry, that plan is still alive. However, we'd like some time for that. What we are currently thinking for animal raising is instead of having complex growth elements like chocobo raising, we'd like to making it possible to raise a monster and then harvest the items from each one repeatedly at a set interval. Once we finalize the details for this I will let you all know.

Just as described above, there will be chances to obtain a variety of different materials from your Mog Garden. Different from your Mog House, however, there are no layout customization options for your Mog Garden. Instead, you will be able to expand resource points and develop your Mog Garden. There might just be a story that starts from an unexpected visitor or wreckage that washes up.

I’ll be back to let you know details at a later time.
Until then!

Translation below. No new info, really, just a bunch of images.

Fujito: Mog Gardens

Hello!

We've updated the Mog Gardens graphics so I've taken some screenshots.

★ The Ship



You'll get to the Mog Gardens by riding on this ship. Check out the colorful fish under the water!

★ The Grove



From the grove, you can perform harvesting and logging. The first trees and bushes you'll find are small, but as the rank increases and additional trees are planted, it will become a fully-grown grove as in the image.


★ The Quarry



This is a mining site. You can dig in here with your pickaxes. As the rank increases, the area will develop by having more and more of the rocks removed, exposing the ore veins beneath.


★ Moogle Field



Here, the crops you plant will grow in a field packed with Moogle secrets. While at first there will be fewer rows on which you can plant, as the Moogle Magic increases, you'll be able to use more than one row as in the image. Other mysterious crops may grow on the field; there may even be some that can grow without seeds....

★ The Coast

Here's the beach umbrella that you saw in the original post.



And when the sun goes down....

The lamp on the table gently lights the area....



Oh, one other thing. The Mog Gardens island itself is not very large. It's roughly the space of three mog houses.

Also, this area will have its own dedicated background music. If you have the Seekers of Adoulin soundtrack, please listen to Track 8:Mog Resort. The faint sounds of female vocals will draw you to the island.

At this time, we still have about 20% left to complete. We're still planning on releasing this summer, but it might take a bit longer.

When we have more information to share or show, I'll post it here.

Fujito: The Mog Ranch

So busy... finally time for a break!

My eyes are very tired and i think I'm getting a headache... *sigh*

However, we've finally gotten the ranch looking good today, so at least that's a relief! (^_^)

That's why while we work today, we're drinking this:


Drowning cat!

Cute, isn't it?

When I was watching Twitter the other day, I saw this info come through by chance, and I ordered it immediately. It came from a shop in Nagano. I ordered a box set of them. Since it contained two cats, I get to drown another one!



*Meow meow*

All right, all right, I'll give you a quick glance at the Mog Garden.






Whaaaa?


We just wanted to give you a little taste for now, but we'll release more information soon!

Fujito: Follow Ups (Part 1)

Should you plant the cat?
I did not want to post a photo of a decapitated head, but it is possible by design. However, I will not.

What if a Colibri comes and steals the seeds and flies away? (>_<)
Colibri would not have the stamina to make it here because it is pretty far east of the main continent.

Inspired by the drowning cat, I think you should maybe sell drowning chocobos or drowning moogles at the food court at Vana'fest.
Hmmm...drowning moogle... haha. I wonder if the cooks have placed their orders yet.

This looks even more like the Enix game Cosmo Crash (Astronoka) than I expected....
Although it may seem outrageous since I'm an employee, I've never played that game.

Fujito: Follow Ups (Part 2)

I will definitely buy the drowning moogle when you release it. Also, please make the Mandragoras scream when you pull them from the ground.
I don't think we've gotten that far in production yet...should they walk around too?

I'd like to have a whole cat in Vana'diel. Not just the severed head, but the whole thing. Maybe that would be too surreal. Anyway, on the farm, wouldn't the mandragora try to use Fatal Scream when you pull them? I mean, they aren't pink, but it's still scary....
I wonder if there's a game that lets you grow severed heads.

You've finally shown us the factory where mandragoras are produced! Is this Fujito's secret mass-production facility? You should be ashamed.
No, this isn't the Fujito Coalition [[JP: FJT Works]]

Will Umbrils show up from underground?!
That would be awful! Now I don't want to plant too much....

I'm suddenly really tempted to buy those marshmallows that you bought before... you should work together with them to make Moogle marshmallows. I would totally buy those if they sold them!
They might be expensive though! I'll get in touch with our promotions person and find out....

Fujito: Follow Ups (Part 3)

This work is very tiring!

I wanted to post a couple follow-ups on the Mog Gardens post.

Are the mandragoras are just growing out of thin air?
The pictures were to give you an idea about the monster graphics. We aren't really showing the configuration and so on, so there will be more info coming.

There isn't any battle to harvest the monsters?
No, there is not. The monsters will grow similarly to a garden because the area is a location like the Mog House, so there will be no battling. (The original production basis was to battle the monsters.)

We'll get a peek at Play-as-a-Monster shortly on the Test Server, but I'd prefer that they don't rush it out. If waiting a few weeks can make it even better then I'll gladly wait it out.

I'm thinking the basic monsters in the main land, I could be wrong though. There might be colibri or something too.

Remember they are going to make updates to Play as a Monster, so it could just be based on expansion as well! :x

The garden is going to be nerfed or suck. JPs make up a large marjority of the people (stupid enough to) who still use PS2. No ps2 in SoA right? NoJP in JPonry game allowed to go fish en-mass, get new cooking item ingreds, and unmolested harvesting of items means youll only be able to BRING BACK RESOURCES that weren't worth bringing back.

That being said I'll be fine if I can harvest burdock, and imperial tea, and mugwort etc etc. Then again the million dipshits who leveled cooking after me will just undercut all the profit out of those synths too.

They gave a lil bit. Undead evolution path turns into Naraka, and they said Behemoth, so idk other than that.

Adoulin is on PS2.

We took that survey and it showed that most NA players no longer play on the PS2, so they decided to not support PS2 for NA players.

The expansion still works on JP ps2.

Yeah it was at vanafest. They showed the undead evolution path. skele with club > with scythe > hooded skele >> armored skele with sword i think (like that VW), and then naraka or some jazz. Looks fun.

The full evolution path might not even be available from the start either.

Remember they have to have room to update the system.
