Subtle nerf, they're changing the way the servers update data during Trials/Instances, so that there's a little less latency. It should make almost everything, "marginally," easier. However you have to be cutting things PRETTY darn close in the first place for this to really affect you. We're talking fractions of a second improvement.

Loads of really awesome things going on in 2.1 but honestly 2 things they did wrong, and really kill any hype I had for them.
1. Price on the FC housing is just straight up shit, I know I'm not even going to look at the housing for a few months now, might as well have been in 2.3 in my eyes, and gg SE for giving RMT that gil sink they been needing.
2. one drop a week of ilvl80 gear from Crystal Tower........... one every day or two days or even 3 days but a week? wtf man, I could get 8 ilvl90 items from doing coil in 1 week but OH NO you can only get 1 from crystal tower!
(yes I know getting all 8 drops from coil in 1 week is a stretch but still 1 a week is horseshit and you know it)

Looks like the Goals may be HP linked, so when you damage one you damage both. So individually your DPS doesn't have to be all that much higher than in Titan HM, it just has to be high enough to compensate for two other players, instead of one.
Will probably be 10M for a small house on Legacy servers because theres 100 people with insane amounts of gil. Screw new players, their fault for coming to a Legacy server.
It's really odd, I'll admit. Though I should note, even getting two Coil items in a week is a bit of a stretch. Maybe if you're a Monk, but for the most part the Loot Tables are so large, that you're not likely to see more than one item drop for your class per week.
Free Company pricing isn't that bad. Most the FC's are small enough that small lots will be more than large enough for their needs, and if one Crafter can put together 20 million, then there should be plenty of companies that have smaller houses after 2-3 weeks.
The medium and large lots will probably start going in January, but I'd be shocked to see many large 1st class lots taken before the end of January.
GAF can probably manage that feat though. We have over 40mil Gil already, and there should be a lot of new opportunities for Item farming and such when the patch hits. Between that, and the slowly but steadily declining prices, we should manage.
There are some other "duplicate" skills too, like Night Wing being BLM's Sleep. Maybe normal traits do not work in PvP? So Divine Breath is to make up for lack of improved resurrection, and Night Wing for lack of improved Sleep.
Cross class skills may be out too considering Enliven is basically Invigorate and Equanimity is Surecast.
Judging from the skill sets it seems like WAR/PLD will be incredibly easy to kite, relying mainly on having a MNK or DRG who can lock their target down effectively. Mythril Storm/Thrill of War/Testudo will make tanks pretty awesome support though. Glory Slash however just baffles me. 3min cooldown One Ilm Punch? Even with the small aoe component this feels underwhelming, especially with the amount of buffs in the game.
Unrelated to 2.1 but a question I had now that I'm in end game and can understand the game more as a whole. Are there any good podcasts out there for FFXIV? I'm spoiled by a podcast for SWTOR that actually gets done weekly regardless of whether it is a big news week or not for the game and I know I shouldn't expect that for other MMOs as well but was wondering if anyone had found anything fairly solid.
If traits don't work, you'd literally have classes without their central mechanic though. Like, the ability to get one stack of aetherflow as an arcanist is a trait. I'd definitely prefer it to be the way you're saying though, if it weren't for that.
It seems to me they're just not saying that each class will have a couple of abilities which are inaccessible in pvp, like sleep for a black mage or raise spells for healers. Then they're replacing those spells in some cases with versions with long cooldowns. Kind of sucks for scholar healers if you can't raise allies in combat, but I guess since I have both jobs capped I'll just go white mage as a healer if raise ends up being a game changer.

Suddenly really glad I didn't roll on a legacy server. Kinda a shame, since I believe one of the legacy servers is also the preferred RP server.
Mind you, I'm not certain I'd really be able to get into RP. Which is why I didn't roll there. XD
They talked about it, some time ago. It sounded like a long term goal, but they need to restructure their teams so they're not stepping on each other's toes.

In an arena system like now this is very very bad. I already feel like SCH is being set back and will be always one up'd in premade groups by WHM. This better be heavily balanced, but I honestly had huge doubts that PVP in FFXIV would be anywhere close to balanced.
We'll have to see how it works when the patch is live though, no need to get alarmed just yet. WHMs may be easier to interrupt/kill, yadda yadda. I don't play these classes so I don't really know.
Hmm, so, eventually. Well, hopefully sooner than later then.
Yeah, I hate when people freak out before they've actually played a game. We'll know soon enough

I thought I was part of the 1% on Ragnarok. My FC was actually counting on shamelessly leech of me if we haven't managed to save enough for it.
Those prices almost gave me an heart attack. People complain new players on a legacy server are screwed... legacy players can't afford them either. I really don't know who on my server is raising the average to the point they considered that should be the price, but the amount those people have on them should be obscene, because that's nowhere near being an ammount the people I know form 1.0 would be even near to pony up (I'm aware it's supposed to be a group effort and no one would really need to have that amount themselves).

I'm curious which FC buys large first on Excalibur. I'm going to egg their mansion.
More like Excalipoor.

bad gameplay lol
So there's no way GAF won't have the nicest house on Ultros, right? Are there any other FCs on Ultros that come anywhere near our size?
We're the only one to have over 400 members but that doesn't mean we have the most active members out of all the FCs.
As a PLD, I have nothing to complain about.
Maybe if they took Bind off Tempered Will, I would feel somewhat angry... I don't know, maybe. It'd be something.
No one ever Covers without the 1.0 added effects of regaining MP. Basically I'm never going to lose enmity that I already never lost with the buff to Oath. Thanks?

If we pitch in together, we could try to work toward it.
In other news, the dodo minion is super cute.

True enough.
The only FC I could think of that could maybe compete with us is the Giant Bomb FC, but then I'm just going on how frequently I see their members.
Gonna do my part.
Heck, forget the largest swingingist Company Houses, if we could manage it, I'd just assume have lots in all three cities. XD

HEY GUYS AND GALS.
Cleared the main quest last night and saw the end credits roll. As a BRD, what should be my next goal right about now?
Sorry if that seems like a silly question. v_v

Stop taking your anger out on the table. The table isn't at fault for the mistakes of pugs.

So the PVP gear is just white darklight? Really? What happened to the cool Lion, Bear, Swan, etc... armor? Really disappointed in that.

The fc housing pricing has really killed our guilds enthusiasm for 2.1

Remember, the price is going to go down for a property, and relatively fast too. A .14% reduction every six hours.
Erp, yes, you're right. But still, that is relatively fast. A guild that starts working towards it now would have the half off price most likely. Unless you're on a legacy server....
I think they said in today's Live Letter those will be added with Front Lines, the large-scale pvp zone system, in a future patch.

Welp, there goes any chance I had of PvP. Not doing it to have the ugliest set of armor that's white instead of black. They need to high more people for in game models. The lack of armor designs is appalling in a Final Fantasy game.
