Famitsu interview summary:

– Othard is not only based on Japanese culture, but rather the Orient and Asia in general

– There will be some kind of focus on The Island of Val in the main story.

– Oriental glamour gear planned for 4.0. Some Instance Dungeon and Raid gear might have an oriental design as well.

– Red Mage will share gear with casters and it’s main stat will be INT
