How do you get these new mounts?
I'm so confused, so much new shit happening all together
Unlocked flight in Cohertas tho! <3
That's the CE exclusive mount, so buy that and you get it.

That's the Griffin mount from the CEr boni.
You'll get three mounts from the MSQ (
Black Chocobo, Manacutter and Midgardsomr

The music (both day and night) that plays in Hinterlands is perfect for what lies there... it gives an
vibe. And the zone itself is beautiful (it reminds me a bit
), with a nice cavern to explore too.
ancient civilization
Laputa's ancient city, with the buildings covered by nature and trees
Got locked out of the story for the first time last night, but luckily there's a shitton of side quests that unlock in the Dravanian Hinterlands after the last story mission I did. I'll go hoover those up tonight, but I got stuck looking for bloody nests and couldn't find more than 1, so I just went to bed. Still, I can fly around there now so hopefully that helps.
It was a level 45 leve and now I've seen the update notes I can see why. At least I got my ARM up a few levels while it lasted lol.

When you cancel wanderers minuet, if you use a move like heavy shot straight after, it still has a cast.

I want to say this theme sounds inspired by FFXI themes / Mizuta.

yay griffin get 
So I did one dungeon run today just so I could record it, Sohm Al. (Spoilers if you haven't gotten to it obviously).
Besides the fact that I was very tired and it was my second time running it, I think it went okay. Learned a few new things with the second and third bosses:
I have really enjoyed the first two dungeons, I hope the next one (Aery or something?) is just as good as the first two.

Second: If your dps isn't fast enough to kill the smaller adds (my first run, we killed the adds all the time and didn't get the markers at all iirc) or you just don't care. just do the stack/spread thing you may remember from Coil. Red = Stack, Blue = Spread. Also green thing hurts if it gets a chance to use it's skill .
Last boss: 2 comets during the first phase, 3 in the final phase. Not sure if we're allowed to stack together or not since unlike T9, they don't leave comets down to explode if another touches it lol. Which was why I moved to the back in the final comet set. Also I didn't notice Chaos blast or the small ring at all before I died. I got totally rekt'd lol. Hit from all sides.

Does it not offer you the choice after you've spoken to the wyrm that zones you into the mists? (I agree, it's a bit of a ballache though, they should have done this like guild wars 2, and put people in a queue to get into the primary instance of a zone, or at least have some intuitive option for being able to zone into the same instance as party members.)
No, the dragon acts as a teleport
Huh. How does this work with A-ranks? Does each instance get their own? Given how rapidly the hunt thirst is going to pick up as people acquire law gear, that could get pretty funny pretty fast.

That's a silly oversight.
Oh wow, never considered this. S ranks should be funny if servers like Excalibur get onto them en masse when the instance system is still active.
Each instance has its own A-ranks so you get to play teleport lotto!
I never had this happen to me until I hit 60 and it's the most annoying thing I've experienced in this game, and I talk to Scything on a regular basis. I hope they fix this rather soon but as long as it's done before Alexander-chan then I don't mind.
My PS4 Math™ figures that clipping barely into your gcds to drop EA is going to usually be worth it. I'm also a scrub and will not give up the two oGCD dream in order to cycle my buffs effectively. I don't want to just pop one at a time :<
Also I'm pretty sure I have the Iron Jaws complaints figured out. You guys are upset IJ doesn't keep your initially applied dots when you refresh them, right? Because whenever you cast IJ it snapshots your dots again. Helps immensely on the opener, I feel, so I wouldn't necessarily mind keeping it the way that it is. It's kind of nice to drop IJ when a ninja hits TA or when your buffs are back up instead of taking two gcds to reapply the dots.

Time to step up my game.
Your kung fu is weak, old man.
The good thing is that you can buff up before you IJ. It isn't nice that, unlike bane, it doesn't keep the initial buff and has a cast time, making it risky to use.
Yeah a couple of us. I'll try and whisper you in game later if you like. Character is revy grants
Do they send the CE code in the mail?
Every dungeon except for Facility and Dusk Vigil have been confirmed to have a minion at the end and three more come from crafting. Griffin and Behemoth come from hunt vendor. Nobody knows where the emperor puppy is acquired from but it could be either Dusk Vigil or ventures.
They don't send codes if you buy it on PSN because its directly tied to your account..
I see alot of PS4 trouble on the forums atm, lets see whats gonna happen.
Aw I missed. it. :-(
So I'm really interested in FFXIV, but I never feel like I have time to go all-in with an MMO
I really enjoyed my time with WoW, but that was years ago & I found I was spending more time grinding for levels than enjoying myself.
Does the game have enough solo content to keep me busy for a long while?
Is it easy, as a casual player (I'll probably play twice or maybe three times a week for a few hours), to find groups to do the non-soloable content?

Oh yeah, if you've got enough spare time, you could probably knock out the story content in the free 30 days you get for buying it, but a few hours a day a few times a week, you've got a few months for the story I think. You still have to group for dungeons and trials as part of the story, but duty finder usually makes that easy enough to blast through them as well.
Nice one. For a tenner, I'm sold. Purchase incoming in a couple of weeks.
Cool, I will be on later tonight GMT.
Yes, there is a good amount of solo content and, yes, duty finder makes it easy to find groups although the wait times will vary. If you decide to take the plunge I'd happily supply you a referral code to get really good in game items...
I uploaded another vid from the weekend. It's a taste of the Ravana fight for those that haven't seen it. It's certainly one of the most visually striking primals and has great music.

so no new trophies for PS3/4? man, this release is so antihype. same quests, same theme park and no trophies :/
yoshi hates me.
yoshi hates me.
The sidequests in general are very horrible and repetitive like hell but... thesidequests are nice. Exploration and riddles (and funny). Love them.Matoya's Cave
I swear there are way more sidequests (which some are useless, I hate you Moogle) than ARR lol
They are pretty useful for leveling. Except for the moogle ones, they break your soul more than fate farming.
Yeah I needed them because it requires lvl 56 to continue the main story. I was lvl 55 half and it was at Dravania with Moogles. Dammit these abandoned nests
I haven't had too much of an issue using it within the cast time. It's relatively easy to go an entire boss fight keeping 100% dot uptime, and it makes it way easier than dropping like 160 TP every so often for your dots.
The biggest challenge comes from all the other nonsense going on it fights that it's pretty easy to miss IJ and have to rebuff, but it's only two gcds, so it isn't too bad. You don't even have to pop your buffs when you re-dot, you can do it at any time once they're up.
I think the positives of Iron Jaws outweigh the negatives. I mean, sure. It'd be nice if you could keep your initial potency of your dots with Jaws, and it would make any dps issue much better, but then it might flirt with the inevitable nerf territory that SMN has set up a vacation house in.
I think the bigger issue might be EA's cast time since it's awkward almost every time you cast it. Sometimes bard feels a bit clunky, which I hope they can smooth out.
At least you guys got a new icon, the Windows version/launcher/icon all still say A Realm Reborn.
