Some concept art from 7.1 stuff and a screenshot of the updated Fafnir model in FFXI alliance raid (the Fafnir in Eureka was a generic dragon model IIRC) from Korean Fanfest

• Rough translation for the field exploration name: "New Moon Island.
• Field exploration has something to do with Final fantasy 5. Yoshi P was hinting (urging the community) to discuss job(s) from that game.
• YoshiP talked about the size of the mech. It belongs to the Cosmic Exploration feature. The comparison to the figure for scale next to it: A Roegadyn.
• The costume is Korean exclusive and can be worn by both genders.
• The dragon is from the alliance raid.
• Dawntrail 7.0 Korean Release date: 2024.12.03
• Team is working hard to include both China and Korea into the global release schedule. Release simultaneously everywhere basically. Chinese client first (most work done, Korean client next). Loudest cheer by far.

Just hoping they add the last year's worth of PVP stuff available for purchase with trophy crystals. I missed 2 mounts and a minion during an extended break. When they first added CC Yoshi said rewards would show up again later, but so far nada.

I think I'm gonna permanently give up on this game. I couldnt get through the story and stuff and just stopped playing at around lvl 94 MSQ quests. Everything is so formulaic and samish. Its like Ive seen it all before.

I thought he was referring to OLD PvP rewards, like Feast mounts. I wouldn't expect something from the Battle Passes to repeat anytime soon, but who knows...

Don't blame ya at all. Vote with your wallet and maybe the dev team will finally realize it's time to spice things up instead of repeating the same formula ad nauseum. Godspeed.

Infuriatingly no. He's said multiple times he doesn't want to re-release Feast rewards ever and wants them to remain "special" which is pretty BS considering how blatant win trading was back then. You either got rank in the first few days or you were effectively locked out of any change at getting them cause no one queued.

Well that sucks. I was under the impression that we had moved past the idea of rewards like that being unobtainable forever, and it was just a matter of time before it was made available again. I've even been turning my excess Trophy Crystals into Wolf Collars for that moment lol

Oh well. Here's hoping the new PvP gear looks nice at least...

This game IMO is pretty much done. It basically ended in Endwalker. If it feels like you've seen it all before...it's because you have.

Viper and Picto while interesting for a couple days lose their "new toy" factor really quick that after completing MSQ I quickly dropped and unsubbed.

Story is also very bad. Walking Sim and 7 boss fights is very underwhelming for a expansion.

Valonquar Yoshi P won't re-release Feast rewards. But will let you wear the Feast only Hellhound gear in the Benchmark. You love to see it.

Getting back into fishing achievements now. I am at 1657 / 1707 unique fish caught. 50 left to go. Just caught Cinder Suprise which has an insane 16 day spawn window and is only open for 6 minutes! There's about 6 left that each require multiple other fish to be caught to proc the Fisher's Intution buff in order to catch the legenday fish that I am dreading, including Warden of the Seven Hues, Aquamaton, Sea Butterfly, and Stethacanthus. It's still pretty addictive once you start down the rabbit hole that is fishing in this game.

Excited for the FFXI crossover, everything else is so spread thin there isn't truly much content here for the next several months....more time for achievement grinds I guess.
