Dev Team

FFXIVプロデューサー兼ディレクターの吉田です。
吟遊詩人に対する、多数のフィードバックありがとうございます。

開発チームの現状認識と調整方針について、以下にご説明いたします。

  • 「旅神のメヌエット」について
    吟遊詩人のレベル52のジョブクエストで修得する旅神のメヌエットですが、
    大きく以下の3点を認識しています。

    1. 修得直後からレベル60に至るまで使用した際に、非使用時と比較して、ダメージが出なくなってしまう
    2. 吟遊詩人のメリットだった「移動しながら攻撃できる」という点を捨てて旅神のメヌエットを使うリスクに対して、リターンを感じにくい
    3. 切り替えのレスポンスが悪く使いづらい

    特に、「1」の問題点による初期印象の悪さと、
    使いにくさによって、レベル60になった際にも
    リターンを感じづらくなってしまったと考えています。

    現在、これらの問題を解消するための修正作業を行っています。

    修得直後の効果を見合ったものに調整するとともに、
    切り替えを行いやすくし、レベル60の時のダメージが
    大幅に伸びてしまわないよう、各種スキルバランスを見ながら、
    現状の扱いにくさを解消していくことが修正に対する基本方針です。

  • 「時神のピーアン」について
    時神のピーアンの使い勝手やその価値について、
    低く感じられるとのご意見をお寄せいただいていることを
    開発は認識しており、検討／調整を行っています。

  • アクションが一時的に使用不可能になるバグについて
    不具合の発生にてご迷惑をおかけしております。
    こちらの不具合については本日のHotFixにて修正いたしましたので、
    HotFix適用後に再度ご確認ください。
    修正に時間を要しましたこと、お詫びいたします。


なお、どのジョブにも共通することですが、
まだレベル60に到達して日が浅く、レイドがこれからオープンしますので、
皆さんはさらに試行錯誤して行くこととわれます。

ジョブバランスについては、開発チームでも常に注視しており、
レイドオープン後の皆さんからのフィードバックを拝見しつつ、
必要があれば随時調整を行いますので、引き続きのプレイをよろしくお願いします！


User Translation:

Wanderer's Minuet:
Development team is aware of the following:

Generally, DPS is larger when not under Minuet.
Bards' specialty of "Ability to attack while moving" is impacted when under Minuet, hard to see benefits of being in Minuet.
Unwieldy to change stances.

Due to the degree to which the above points are felt by the community, especially the first point (Less damage in Minuet), the development team is looking into changes.

They're looking to change the effect (but not increase damage too much), make it easier to switch between stances, and reduce the difficulty and general clunkiness with the current Bard.

Warden's Paean:
Generally treated as hard to use/low value, development team is looking into it.

Bloodletter Bug:
Fixed in hotfix.

Also a bit about waiting for player feedback from Alexander before committing any further changes

Here is a proper translation:

Hello, everyone,
FFXIV producer/director Yoshida here.
Thank you for all the feedback you've been posting regarding bard.

I'd like to take a moment to discuss how the development team recognizes the current situation and our plans for adjustment.

  • The Wanderer's Minuet
    In regards to the Wanderer's Minuet, the ability that you learn from the level 52 job quest, we are aware of the following points of feedback:

    1. Until reaching level 60, using Wanderer's Minuet will result in less damage being dealt in comparison to when you are not using it.
    2. It's difficult to feel the benefits of Wanderer's Minuet versus the risk of not being able to move while attacking, which was a perk of playing as a bard.
    3. It's difficult to use Wanderer's Minuet because the casting time required for activating it is too long.

    As a result of the initial bad impression given by the first problem, and the length of time required to cast it, I think that it's still difficult to feel the benefits of this ability even when you hit level 60.

    The team is currently working on fixes to resolve these problems.

    In addition to making adjustments so that the effect of this ability is fitting right after you learn it, we will be making it easier to switch into and out of Wanderer's Minuet and eliminating the current aspects that make it difficult to use. At the same time we will be paying close attention to the balance of each skill so the damage output at level 60 does not largely increase.

  • The Warden's Paean
    We've been receiving feedback that the utility and value of using the Warden's Paean seems low, and the development team is aware of this. We are currently looking into adjustments.

  • Regarding the bug wherein actions cannot be used temporarily
    I apologize for the inconveniences caused by this bug. We addressed this in today's hotfix. I apologize for the time it took to properly address.


There has only been a small amount of time since you all have reached level 60 (this goes for all jobs; not just bard), and the new raid will be opening shortly, so I'm sure you will continue to explore your jobs with trial and error.

The development team is constantly keeping a watch on job balance, and we will be reading over all of the feedback we receive after the raid has opened and making adjustments as necessary.
