Actual run of this box in Japanese is like 3 sentences.
Fuck off Koji. The translation for storyline dialogue is particularly "let's just make shit up" this time.

It felt like there was something missing during this scene. Spoilers...

Missing as in, WTF just happened. He stripped you of the Crystal's protection. Do you even have the Echo anymore? In exchange for what? What contract did you bind with him? The entire scene played out like it was complete nonsense.

Oh, also, Minfilla sucks. She is pretty worthless at this point. May as well call her Boobs McBooblady.

I don't understand why The Chrysalis is in the roulette and Urth's Fount isn't, they're pretty much equal in difficulty to the point where I already saw people immediately leave when they get The Chrysalis.

Yeah I did kinda wtf at that moment. Overall I did like the story and I kinda wanna do that trial again as it was pretty cool.

Please do not let me serve on a jury. I am actually a crazy person.
Hi, as someone who had played just 2.0:

- Will the expansion have any new crafting jobs \ new crafting skills?
I really, really, really liked crafting. I'd resub for that alone, and consider everything else a plus. Is there any update on the horizon?

There's been fairly little information about the expansion yet. We know general things like it takes place mostly in Ishgard, flying mounts, dragons, DRK/AST/MCH combat classes, Alexander raid, a couple of new primals, and that's more or less about it other than vague stuff or specific point that were mentionned once in the past year. So can't say.

What is likely is every class getting a 60skill, that's almost guaranteed I'd say. New crafting classes though, who knows, maybe. There's guns, so they might add some class that do tools and what not.

They're not adding any new crafting jobs, but probably new crafting skills. They said that if they made new crafting jobs, they'd have to either make new items, or further split up the existing items between new classes. Either would be a problem, because you already need all classes max leveled to repair. So basically, adding a new class would dramatically increase the amount of work players have to do, to keep the self-repair ability.

But, again, we'll probably see new crafting skills. Those jobs are being bumped up to 60 after all.

I don't know, but crafting at 3* and 4* uses some cross class skills that might as well not exist for lower levels and nothing is guaranteed HQ anymore, so you actually have to adapt on the fly instead of relying on macros.

It's much more fun than in 2.0 IMO. And this patch brings some catch up methods for people that never bothered with melding the right side before.

Jesus, you work fast. I won't even get home to play for another 6 to 7 hours.

I assume the 3* 40 durability items don't need to be HQ right?

Also it's nice that you can now get HQ coke and other phylo mats, but I'm not sure that it's actually needed for anything.

You have to HQ all 20, but if you get an NQ you can trade it in for partial mats back. They are tough, you lose 1 Touch and 1 cp overall

So... stupid question, but where on the Mog Station do I select which character I want to be active on my FFXIV one character account? It was working fine with my main for a few days, but now it's defaulting to an old mule on the same server.

I don't know anything about Hunts except about the "elite mark bills".

How exactly do people "do some hunts"? How do you find those mobs and don't you need a big group for most of them?

Welp, even though it's only glamour after I get my Carbontwine, I think I'm going after the WoD tank chest first. I'm kinda prepared to have some glamour other than the augmented AF finally, and that looks like it'd be a nice change of pace.

Yeah if you want credit, you need to be in a party most of the time. Find a hunt LS.

Actually I had been so relaxed on the hunt front that I was able to get full credit on As by myself (without even the chocobo) while queuing for something (usually ST, since it has terrible tank queues).

I'm thinking now that won't be possible anymore though.

The whole hunt thing is kinda crazy.

I mean, on one hand, they learned a bit. The Poetics reward hasn't been increased at all, so people, "NEED," to do other content to cap out that.

On the other hand, they seem to think that by making the prices absurd, that that'll reduce the number of people doing hunts. NOPE! It's still free-farm, and it's the only source of Twines outside of Coil for now. People are going to go MAD scrambling to get enough Allied Seals to get a twine or two.

Might have worked, if Twines were a CT-Focus quest reward from the get go. Then anyone that didn't love hunts would simply take the path of least resistance, even if it meant it took longer to fully Twine up. As is, hunts are CRAZY already, and will probably get crazier soon.

You wanted your DPS trainer, you got it.
Odin is pretty much DPS check: the boss.
And by that I mean people can't damage for shit.

I doubt they think this at all? Since As and Ss are on scheduled spawn rates, they probably felt like the cost would match their ideal pace that people obtain upgrade items at? Also I don't think game developers ever want to do things that dissuade people from doing the content they made, otherwise they should just...remove or not create said content.

I very much doubt they want people to swarm Hunts to the point where the Region Server bugs out, which is what was happening back in 2.3 when Hunts were at their peak.

Since hunt rewards were doubled (at least I know A's are 40 seals, are S's 100?) theyve actually only doubled the number of hunts you have to kill for a twine/sand which really isn't too crazy and somewhat reasonable. I for one liked hunts so no complaints here.
 
Oh how fun :(

Note that the partials mats are the expensive mats, from what I've seen. Like 3x GC mat+other mat GC mat(that drops in dungeons or whatever) is what you get back, you lose clusters and the other stuff which seems to be cheap(for alchemy it's a garbage 35 bot item and for weaver it's diluted vitriol).

So it's not too bad to fail on this, I think. Does take a while but it's better than getting level 35food as a compensation prize. Or desynth items that give FC1s.

I like hunts, but I don't like how people act during Hunts.

Well that doesn't sound all that bad then.

Getting all those GC seals though sounds like a pain.
