Patch 3.1 trailer from the Live Letter.

[Chris Ganale]

He's intentionally acting stupid to lure us into a false sense of security.

[Dat Oni]

Also, can't wait to be KageSuave.

 

That looks suspiciously like Sazh's jacket. Might be seeing things...

Damn shame I am, too, because I'd kill for that jacket.

[Zelmanov]

Oh dear, if that screenshot is right....well...I know the entire Ishgard LS will be in tears.

[LiadansWhisper]

There isn't a damn thing in this live letter about housing.

 

:cry:

[Shoshopu]

 

Typical, the Primal minions look cooler than the Egis.

 

 

 

IM SCREAMING

 

PLEASE LET THERE BE A LEVIATHAN MINION

 

I'm super duper hype for literally everything about this patch, oh my god

[Kellach Woods]

Apparently they are 1.0 mini games. Miner and Botanist ones.

 

Half tempted to have them put some fish in the GS.

 

shoulda put Krile in her zerker outfit imo.

[Kage]

:cry:

 

First step is to see how reclamation will turn things out. Ishgard housing won't happen until the issues in Ishgard are resolved (maybe after 3.1's MSQ it will be a possibility?)

 

All they're gonna talk about is reclamation anyway

I just want more wards.  

[Telluride]

I'm mostly jazzed about the Exploratory missions - I want to see all that work I put into MNR reap some rewards.

 

Not sure how those minion battles are supposed to work. Looked like a lot of running around and hitting on static targets.

 

Looks pretty good all around, though I'm a bit skeptical about how this MSQ is looking. Big surprise from me, I know.

 

From the Live Letter: For house sharing, that's not a total fix, but I'll certainly take it as a good step; it could be useful.

 

Yoshida says that expanding inventory is not possible. That's not surprising, but it's rather foreboding. We can't well expect many new classes if we can't expand the armory slots.

 

"Minion hotbar" - now, that's an interesting thought. Minion combat's definitely not a 1-on-1 thing.

 

And we have to wait for patch 3.2 for real improvements to crafted items. Not surprising, with the incoming hoard of new items from the new content areas. I'm hoping to find more about what crafting stuff actually can be gathered from the Exploratory missions, and what it can be used for.

 

 

 

Overall, some fun stuff's coming up. Maybe I can get my new computer pretty soon to better enjoy it all.

If that's the only thing limiting them then that's pretty danged shoddy.

 

How many people actually do the whole all-max class anyway?

Anyone read or watched Claymore?

 

One of the bosses in Void Ark reminds me of the Abyssal Ones

NOT IMPRESSED! I COULD DO THAT TOO!

AH yeah! I thought the same thing! Ugh I miss that series. Yagi's art has come so far since Angel Densetsu...IT GIVES ME HOPE THAT I'LL NOT BE ART TRASH SOMEDAY

Some day = already

It took me about 2005 for me to realize they were the same mangaka D:

 

I'm super excited and would like some frands to play with. Cannot decide if will do Void Ark first or MSQ. D: (Most likely MSQ).

 

Which also means frands to play dungeons with and heal my tiny tank ass.

I usually do MSQ--> Dungeons --> 24 Man alliance -->EVERYTHING ELSE (in this case it'll be exploration!)

[Steel Wolf]

I usually do MSQ--> Dungeons --> 24 Man alliance -->EVERYTHING ELSE (in this case it'll be exploration!)

 

I typically follow this route as well, myself. Seeing as I'm "only" iL178, it might be best to get the dungeons outta the way and see if it nets me some pretties before entering the Raid.

 

Ideally, some guide vids will be out there at that point so I can tank things without being completely blind. Used to be fun, learning a thing. Now I'm required to be an expert before even clicking "Accept".

 

Ah well. C'est la community.

Don't you worry, Steelio. I've got your back as always. 8-) We will once again do the things!

Indeed. :3 Though I worry about the new materia slots on raid-tier gear. Very likely we'll see teams dissolve before our very eyes because we're not running The Right Materia. A meta on top of a meta.

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy....

Gwen's Guide to New Content.

 

"Hey guys I've never done this before any tips are appreciated"

 

Then A or B happens

 

A: Someone Gives pointers, we go on and rock content.

 

B: No one gives pointers I shrug and try to do the thing, we wipe - someone complains - I remind them of my opening line, and then reinforce no one gave any pointers. At this point it either stays silent and we repeat B until I see the patterns myself, or someone speaks up then see A.

 

I try not to let it discourage me, but it can be intimidating since it's always our faults as the tank for some reason.

 

 

 

ON TOPIC!

 

FUCK YEAH! We get to fight a Brachiosaurus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of Fyrilsunn's a friend of mine! I'm looking forward to running blindly through some new dungeons with friends. :'D I was kind of disappointed by how straightforward the last batch of hardmodes was, to be honest. I'm really looking forward to these.

[Kage]

No one has really commented on the Brachiosaur. COME ON the thing is one of the fucking strongest mobs in the game of FF6 outside of bosses. It casts Disaster and Meteor and sometimes even Ultima.

 

Or you are overleveled as I do almost all the time, grind on it for items and points and do not worry TOO much about 1-shot deaths. >.>;

 

Edit: I do not accept vanish-doom as an answer.

Quick + Master Scroll + Fixed Dice and a good dose of luck.
