This is a new segment of the show that utilizes the questionnaire feature of the Nico Nico Live Broadcasting. Users are able to answer questions on various topics with the questionnaire, and the development team explains directly on in “Directly Picked Vana’diel.”Making his second appearance on the show, Lead Event Planner Saito aided us in giving answers.Now for the first question.“When augmenting gear from Reisenjima with Arcane Glyptics, what items do you most often use?”Below are the results of the questionnaire:There were a lot of viewers who chose “Other” as their answer since they have yet to obtain this gear.Pellucid Stones allow for high values of attack and accuracy, Fern Stones have higher values for ability-related properties, and Taupe Stones allows for a high value of STR to be added.Also included in “Other” are those that choose to trade in Dark Matter with their equipment and gain a special Arcane Glyptic. Among them is “Treasure Hunter” which is a property that cannot be obtained through normal Arcane Glyptics. Also among the best results include having “Double Attack +5%”, “Triple Attack +4%” and “Quadruple Attack +3%” all at the same time. Dark Matter also has a chance to yield higher stat gains than other stones. For example, a Pellucid Stone can give up to +40 but Dark Matter can give up to +50.Since Dark Matter is an item in low supply, we have thought of implementing a new campaign that would let the user use Dark Matter for their Arcane Glyptics up to 3 times in a day, but there have been requests to let the user use them even more than that, so we will implement a campaign that will let you do this up to 6 times a day--meaning you use this for a weapon and 5 pieces of gear. Please look forward to this!Onto the second question.“Which of the following holds the highest sway in the power balance of Vana’diel?”The following is a tally of the answers we received:Crystals do in fact hold the highest sway in the power balance followed by Altana, Promathia, and finally Bahamut. However, this is only speaking in terms of the Vana’diel that you see in the game today. Had it been in the world as it was originally, Altana and Promathia would be at the same level. Provenance Watcher would also be somewhere in between Altana and Promathia.This is all in terms of their deific hierarchy and not related to their actual strength and power. For example, when it comes to Cait Sith and Bahamut, godhood-wise Cait Sith is higher ranking, but in a battle Bahamut would like win. One thing to note as well is that Abyssea is a world where the borders of the world no longer exist, so all beings are even.
