Developer Q&A: Trial of the Magians



FFXIclopedia was given the opportunity to submit questions and peek into the minds of the development team regarding the Trial of the Magians. The questions were submitted to Square Enix and translated into Japanese. The answers were then translated back into English, and Square Enix provided us with both language versions for us to share with the community.

Conclusion
It is always a pleasure to be given the opportunity to communicate with the dev team. It looks like they have put a lot of thought into keeping FFXI balanced throughout all of the upcoming changes. Even with the level cap increase on the way, the Trial of the Magians system has given adventurers no reason to feel that their time spent earning special pieces of gear was wasted. FFXI has come a long way since FFXIclopedia started and it continues to evolve in ways we never imagined - many times due to suggestions from the community.
