FFXIV has a fetish for bringing back old FF game bosses to HD. I am 110% okay with this and eagerly await killing Calcabrina and the fiend from 2 of my favorite FF games.

So if I ended my sub in August is now a good time to come back or should I wait for a few more patches?
Thirteen bucks for 2 patches worth of stuff isn't a bad deal.
All I have to say is, man, fuck Calcabrina. If you have to burn all those dolls down to a sliver and kill them at the same time (like in Mog EX) so they don't keep combining indefinitely, that's going to suck.
NEW HILDI QUESTS
Liking those new hairstyles a lot better than the ones that won the user contest. Players have bad taste.
And regarding the MSQ: is this who I think it is that you're about to fight...?

That's reassuring. I guess I just wanted to know whether for some reason I should wait a little longer, haha.

Looks like it. He snapped.
Not really, I just want to destroy all the Summoners.
Yeah I am kinda curious as to what leads up to this scene. Either way, huzzah for the Uldah storyline starting back up again!

He chose the Dark Side.
Maybe he's become a Dark Knight lol.

I feel like resubbing, haven't played since Heavensward launch. Do they finally have EU servers that are actually located in the EU? I read that they were in the process of adding them sometime last year. And can i freely move my character to a EU server if that's the case ?
They moved the EU servers to EU, but I don't know if they're still allowing free character transfers.

Yeah, i was reading up on it, looks like i'll have to either pay for a server transfer or create a new character on a EU server. Oh well.

Awesome as hell seeing them put in Calcabrina. If they ever get around to doing the four elemental fiends, I'm back in a heartbeat.

I know I should want original content, but I'd honestly be content if every new patch just added a reinterpretation of some old FF dungeons along with monsters/bosses from said dungeons.
Stuff like 4 fiends, or the espers from XII, things that don't necessarily feel totally out of place (like say, fighting Sephiroth or Kefka would).

Notice how this trailer has no focus on Minfillia but she's in the artwork for the patch? lol. I'm very excited for the patch though. Got my 60 day time card and I'm so ready to go back to the game once patch hits. I also have a week break from uni so all is good.

That gold sci-fi looking dungeon where they're fighting an Alexander looks dope. I need a gif of that.

Half the fun is seeing how they fit in stuff from the old games.
Will be interesting to see how the other two fiends look for example.
She speaks the last line in the trailer.

Is The Gears of Change the name of a new main scenario quest?
No, they just give each patch a fancy title that people can associate the storyline beats and changes with.
(they could name a quest after it, but I dunno if that's what you're referring to, quest names aren't that important and are often just puns or pop culture references)

^ Yup, that's just the patch name (sometimes a MSQ will share the name).
Previous patches:
2.0 - A Realm Reborn
Previous patches:
2.0 - A Realm Reborn

- 2.2 - Through The Maelstrom
- 2.3 - Defenders of Eorzea
- 2.4 - Dreams of Ice
- 2.5 - Before the Fall
- 3.1 - As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness
You sure that isn't Hydaelyn? It seems a bit otherworldly to be something Minfilia would say.

The fundamental problem of trying to come back to a themepark MMO where old content is made obsolete instantly by new content will rear it's ugly head for the first time in FFXIV. Longtime WoW players know about the cycle, I think this is the first time we'll really see it here.
A lot of people have been gone for a long time during the long content drought after HW. They're going to come back and find that nobody is doing old content, making it impossible to catch up. To say nothing of trying to find a new raid group if your old one broke up and quit.
Realistically, I'm at a point where all I want to do is continue seeing the story even though it has been so uninteresting after the ARR period. I might just wait for the next expansion and do the entire HW period's story at once in one month with the expansion's story. That would save me on sub fees, now that Yoshi has demolished my house I have nothing left to return to.

that is what breaks my heart. I didn't even make it to all the content before Heavensward because I was like two scenarios and coil of bahamut behind.
This already happened to me with 3.1 back in October. Nobody was doing Ravana Ex or Bismarck Ex anymore so I couldn't clear them. That, and Yoshida destroying my house (at least it was a cheap one, I could have afforded a mansion but decided against it) settled my decision of not coming back for good, or at least until the next expansion. The ship has sailed with this one.

People are still working on relic so there will be some motivation to take advantage of that newbie bonus, although some fights *coughthordancough* will be too annoying for people to bother with, regardless of that juicy newbie bonus.

Well they already did Amdapor Hard Mode, this is Lost City of Amdapor Hard Mode, 2 very different dungeons.
Cool, I'll get to check it out before the Division drops.
Even though I've got all but one void gear piece and have caught up on MSQ's. I still feel a bit behind. Wsa thinking jumping in to the Golden Saucer. I want to get some MGP, although I don;t know the fastest way.
The pet game seems intimating, but the chocobo raving was fun.

Technically bought this game around launch Window on PS3. Hoping to get to Heavensward content this month lol...
You don't actually need to do Coil to get into HW, and Ravana/Bismarck EX are optional fights.
Considering this image is on the main website...
Yes, I know Minfilia factors into the new MSQ, but how does that mean that the voice speaking at the end of the trailer is hers? She isn't shown during that sequence. And again: it doesn't sound like something she would say, but rather something Hydaelyn would.

So when will the full patch notes come out?

Is the game really coming to VR, or was that just a concept demo?
Fixed. Skipping scenes? The nerve.
EDIT: I thought Guildhests were supposed to teach people the basics of party combat?
I remember there was talk of making the dungeons needed for stories solo-able with NPCs - did that ever come to pass? Granted it was years ago, but still. I started with the re-launch of the game, but I got stuck waiting at one of the first dungeons for a party. After hours of waiting at the gates I just sort of quit, because it basically blocked off the story for me and that was the entire reason I was playing.
What's the point of playing if you skip the content one may ask...
