Looks like RTS with minions. Hope it's good.

 

[hamchan]

Oh are they adding pet battles?

Hope I can use my mini Alphinaud.

EDIT: Lord of Verminion is a great name.

PvP Matching

We’re aware of comments saying that you’d rather we not focus on the lore aspect of PvP matching, but by removing the Grand Company restrictions it may cause fixed matches to be made, and we’re worried about this. This is why it is set the way it is now. With that said, we are considering removing the Grand Company restrictions.

SERIOUSLY?!? the fuck outta here with that noise. yes we're worried about match fixing with so few people as is playing the mode. makes perfect sense....

 

[Omnicent]

hmm minion battle. Time for my Puff of Darkness to wreck all other minions

 

[RellyRell28]

I wonder if more people are gonna buy those minions that are behind the pay wall now

 

[aceface]

Didn't look like you use your own minions. But dispatch squads of minions with different abilities. Zerg enemy minons, etc. Mind you I'm going off of one screenshot.

 

[Sandfox]

Its nice to see the AST heal buff and Monk changes after people complaining and SE telling them to get good.

what about my mudra lag? They said to get gud for that too ; ; (luckily I don't have mudra lag/rarely, but others are not as fortunate)

Fuck I was hoping they wouldn't move EU servers to EU, playing from AUS on an EU server is shit enough already

Why are you on EU and not with the rest of the Aussies on Tonberry?

 

[RellyRell28]

You damn right the Ahriman minion should be a flying mount

Finally we can try on multiple pieces of gear

 

[Wilsongt]

Finally. Multiple try on option.

 

[dcye]

Tonberry was full during early access of 2.0 launch when I joined. Also, I work night shift so the only raid times that fit my schedule are on EU servers which is why I haven't transferred. Well. That and two years in a guild and the friends I've made.

 

[Frumix]

Multi-slot items can be glamoured

Finally, Darklight!

 

[Wilsongt]

Multislot options. Hello, cowls. Kappa

Level: Level 60 tin cans lol

 

[Zomba13]

Finally, Darklight!

So does that mean I can finally glamour the Odin body suit?

YOU ALL LAUGHED AT MY MINION COLLECTION.

Airship Exploration Voyage

We’re planning to introduce new content where you explore uncharted islands with your crafted airships. Multiple parties can explore the same island at the same time. The concept will be to defeat lots of strong monsters. Gathering nodes are also available on these islands, so once the island is secured by the battle team, gatherers will be able to gather items to take back.

We wanted to give an old MMO-like feel for this one, and for FFXIV it'll be fresh content that hasn't been seen before.

Here's the OF thread of all the major points covered in the Live Letter.

[Qvoth]

I bet gestahl minion is going to go up in price

 

[suzu]

We’ll be adding new content known as "Lords of Verminion."
This was a joke brought up in the past in a Developers’ Blog post, but we actually went ahead and made it real.

Lords of Verminion is an RTS-like battle game where you use minions. You place minions in the field and once you decide where you want them to move they will automatically attack. This is why Minagawa has created a new option for gamepad controls.

It might be wise to go ahead and collect all the minions you can. However, it’s not like you won’t be able to win if you don’t possess rare minions, so don't worry. Also, we'll have a rating system for matching, so you'll be matched depending on your win rates.

Time to buy those minions before the price hike. lol

 

[Squishy3]

Thanks. Airship explorations sound hype. Dumb they think the old DRK effect looks weird because of it showing up on mounts. literally who cares about that

 

[aceface]

Pfft, I'm not buying a wall scroll with Red on it.

"Old school MMO" for airship exploration sounds interesting. Like FFXI type stuff? Maybe something difficult in the way of exploration for the people calling for that type of thing.

 

[RellyRell28]

So is this gonna be it for the gameplay features. If so I'm gonna go to bed

 

[chrono01]

I was hoping to hear more on class changes. :/

 

[aceface]

Next FATE is in October so I'm guessing a patch a week or two after that as they've done in the past.

 

[Squishy3]

oh i like how the official translation thing has nothing about the 24 man confirmed being the ufo

nvm found it but it was such a one-note thing

[Sifl]

Maintaining gl is probably the only thing I dislike about Monk, so happy to hear it's duration might be increased.

 

[Redx508]

guys buy my wall scrolls i need to buy a PS4 for drama

 

[hamchan]

It's not enough that Aurum Vale haunts me in the game, it now even haunts me on streams.

I regret to inform you the new dungeon will probably be Aurum Vale 2.0. Morbols everywhere

[Hasemo]

Okay, I guess I shouldn't have expected a date.
While 3.1 stuff sounds fun, I was hoping that the stream would give me a reason to renew my subscription before the patch hits. It didn't

Thanks!

 

[Valor]

Oh man I missed most of this info dump, but a lot of it sounds interesting. Prepare for Bard to rise to the top of the deeps charts again. Our time has come! Maybe!

If I had to bet, I'd say 3.1 is most likely coming in October.

[tiggerkiddo]

TP bars will be nice to see. I get tired of the tanks yelling at me about not getting goad when I just gave it to the monk who just used Invigorate.

 

[Squishy3]

new dungeon's at 10,23 in hinterlands if anyone wants to see

also entrance is an unfortunate coincidence

 

[Frumix]

Weren't Cait Sith involved with the Void somehow in FF11?

new dungeon's at 10,23 in hinterlands if anyone wants to see

Oh my

 

[Hasemo]

If I had to bet, I'd say 3.1 is most likely coming in October.

[/soothe]

Given the fact that the second part of the 3.1 patch introduction will happen during TGS, late September/early October is the safest bet.

Betting late September. 3.07 is this coming week, I'd place my bets on September 29th, so they have a break between TGS and deployment.

nice find there

Got the weekend off. Weather is stormy confirmed. Its catchup time.

No translations for the lore panel?

 

[Apoptomon]

So the live letter had a couple of surprises then. Namely the minion thing (

Spoiler

that's not snowboarding, YoshiP

) and the return of Pharos Sirius (which is almost like trolling, given the original's reputation). The QoL things are nice too - TP is much more need-to-know than party stat bonuses, after all.

Also, do drops from CoeurlRegina go towards some vendor like with Odin and Behemoth?

 

[Perfo]

Excuse the ignorance, where the Void Ark comes from? Which previous FF I mean.
