new information revealed on reddit

Gun and Dagger class/jobs were both confirmed and coming sooner than people think. Apparently soon after 2.3. (He said we are saving this info for E3-Announcements, looking forward to June 10th!)

 

Whoa! Now that is pretty sweet. Other MMO companies only release new classes for expansions. This could be crazy fun and even an IC weakling like my char could handle shooting a gun, which aint as hard as a bow lol

 

The gun class isn't what people are expecting it to be.

 

Hmm, now that line actually has me curious what it is lol.

 

Yoshi said Summoners will be getting Leviathan AND Ramuh pets, no mentioned when they would arrive.

 

Oh sweetness! I love this bit of info for summoners

 

Personal rooms for your FC housing mentioned again. He said it would be like a mog house from ff11 with decorating.

 

I never played FF11, but I do hope we can let guests into our personal rooms. And I hope the rooms are at least the size of a small house's main floor or even the size of a small house's basement. Watching a video talking about this stuff on youtube, the guy mentioned that personal rooms would come before personal housing, so most likely personal rooms in 2.3, personal housing after, maybe 2.4 or 2.5. As long as we can let guests into our rooms, I will be happy.

 

Here's the video I mentioned:

THIEF, THIEF, THIEF, THIEF, THIEF!!!

[Lizzo]

THIEF, THIEF, THIEF, THIEF, THIEF!!!

...and...

 

NINJA, NINJA, NINJA, NINJA, NINJA!!!!

 

Finally getting that Leviathan Egi, my summoner was just staring at that miqo in Gridania wondering when she'd get a new one. And Ramuh!? -Yay! - Does this mean we get to fight him and his luxurious beard (and slaughter more of those irritating little grass pixies)?

[Freelockbox]

If the gun class means we get anything like chemist, with potions and pseudo healing support dps, my body is beyond ready.

[synaesthetic]

Another ranged class? Yes please.

[Jana]

real DEX limit break please ;-;

 

Also, I thought that Musketeer was going to be a dual-handgun class, like what the Admiral uses in the story quests, but I hope we get long guns in some way too. Especially since muskets aren't handguns...

[Lan Darklyn]

Since he said that the gun class will not be what we are expecting I think it might be either the chemist style or, the musketeer sort of class. Most people I think are thinking that a gun class would be dual wielding pistols but I think the musketeer might be something like, sword in main hand, pistol in off hand, similar to one of the ways you could kit out the thief class in GW2.

[Dat Oni]

 

Gun mage, perhaps?

[Kailia]

 

Gun mage, perhaps?

 

... That thought never occurred to me... yes please! Wants!

[Clover]

Gun class and Gold Saucer are making me very excited (>_<)!

And so could you with the Mesmer! And that goes to tell there are many directions and themes they can explore for a gun-wielding fighter.

 

Oh boy I'm PSYCHED!

 

Edit: Did some quick research on what Square Enix has done in FFs (but not any less great!) with guns, after seeing the gunmage picture.

Ooh, exciting! I really hope we can allow guests into the FC personal rooms.

[Hokujin]

Ooh, exciting! I really hope we can allow guests into the FC personal rooms.

Yes! Very cool stuff.

 

No girls allowed in my room of course.

 

(Unless you're cute.)

[Azureus Scipio]

OH MY GERD FC LEADUR! STAY UOT OF MY RUUM!!!! >.<

 

Seriously though as long as they are still planning personal housing (Account/server wide for all characters) then i am happy

[Hyakki]

If you're like me and don't do reddit, here's Reinhart's transcript of the event.

 

There's a bit after the mention of Yugiri where they're discussing the idea of an emote where a player could carry another player. I hope they 're able to make it work (and don't do what Perfect World did where men can only carry women, couldn't carry other men and women couldn't carry anything period...)

 

Having emotes where our characters physically interact with each other would be amazing, but I'm more thrilled about the OOC fun that can come from this. I look forward to the day I can run around town with a friend on my on my shoulders yelling "MECHA SHIVA! MECHA SHIVA!"

I'd been wondering if FFXIV would ever get that kind of emotes, such as carrying someone, hugging someone, taking someone's hand, or even sharing a mount. I guessed it wasn't possible due to the different races and heights, so I'm surprised (and very excited) to know that they're actually considering it!

 

I believe it has to be limited, though. I doubt lalafells can carry anyone, even less a Roe.

I just imagined a lalafell carrying a giant roe on his shoulders and now I can't stop laughing

Mog houses in XI are at least as big as the small FC houses... I personally, though, want to say they're bigger. Or at least my mog house feels bigger than most small FC houses I've peeked into. And having people visit mog houses eventually came... I think with Wings of the Goddess? I just remember the ability wasn't there when I took a hiatus from the game towards the end of Treasures, and when I came back for a bit sometime after Wings launched it was an available feature.

(Just went and took these screenies, for anyone who's never seen an XI mog house. Bastokian house that I managed to fit a bedroom, kitchen, living/sitting room, and study area into. Floor-space wise, I could fit more into the room, but... XI being an old game, furniture stays in your house's inventory my setup takes up 70 of my house's 80 inventory slots. My couch alone takes up five inventory slots.)

... Just for the hilarity of it, I would not complain if the system allowed for a Lala to carry a Roe. I can imagine them doing it like some little super-hero with an one-arm lift.

 

Limiting, though, would  probably go something along these lines: Roe can lift anyone, Elezen can only lift themselves, Midlanders, Miqo'te, and Lalafell, Highlanders can only lift themselves, Midlanders, Miqo'te, and Lalafell, Midlanders can only lift themselves, Miqo'te and Lalafell, Miqo'te can only lift themselves and Lalafell, and Lalafell can only lift other Lalafell.

 

I hope they do give a /changepose option for how you're carried. Like... piggyback, bridal/fireman carry, and "sack of potatoes".

 

Or give us an option for a Cu Chulainn-type mount that we can customize.

[Yahdo]

My two cents on the gun class would probably be a gun-sword wielding class. I mean, the gun-sword is already a part of the world of Hydaelyn, only under gridanian rule though. I was thinking that maybe a scientist or weaponsmith or anything of the like defects to Eorzea and shares his knowledge of the weapons and teaching other smiths to make them. It's a longshot but it would be kind of cool.

I didn't want my ugly mug back on the front page  *whistle*

•Patch 2.28 to be released in May.

•Additional housing areas to be added in 2.3.

•There has been many requests for increasing the number of furniture that can be placed within housing. However, due to server stress, this will not be possible for now.

•Personal rooms within FC housing will be slightly larger in size compared to the inn rooms found in the 3 cities. Other players may enter your room (permission may be turned on/off). Not yet determined whether to allow people to go straight to their room from outside (front door).

•Personal housing will require a lv50 character and achieving a certain rank within a Grand Company. Will be implemented once personal rooms are ready or slightly after. May possibly be delayed until 2.35.

•Other PvP related adjustments will also be made in 2.28 and 2.3. All PvP skills will be unlocked from the start and will become reset-able freely (to encourage more participation). No words yet as to what will happen to the existing skill reset items.

•New PvP mode Frontlines will be implemented in 2.3. Will be more friendly to newcomers due to the larger participant count. Will not necessarily be 8vs8vs8 (but still 3 teams). Designed to be 24+ man content.

•Limit Break appearance will be changed to match the user's job (effect will remain same?) (no words yet on when this will be. Assume still in planning stage)

•Number of Allagan Tomestone of Mythology that can be obtained from contents will be increased in 2.28 and/or 2.3.

•Next chapter of Crystal Tower coming with 2.3. Will have many contents that should make old school FF fans happy.

•Chocobo related new contents coming in 2.3 or 2.35 (Ability to craft chocobo food that can be fed to your chocobo that will allow it to reach even higher buddy ranks(?). May also allow chocobo training at stables. Possibly allow dyeing your chocobo).

•In the process of testing 2-person mounts.

•New contents that can be done with less than 4 people will be introduced.

•Finalizing designs on marriage system (not coming in 2.3) (get married at the big church in east shroud). Wedding dress for brides will have semi transparent parts and flowing movement. should look great.

•Wedding rings will be created for married couples. Discarding the rings will "divorce" them (lol).

•Work on Dx11 version to continue after the world media tour. Aim to release before year end.

•Big plans for beast tribe contents related to Goblins. Still pretty far off for now.

Both of those are great news!

Guns are already a part of the world, too, though. But I'd love to see gunblades and more magitek stuff in general, even if I don't see my character overcoming his old-fashioned ways and actually using it.

[synaesthetic]

If they insist on continuing with heterosexual-only marriages... c'mon Square, you really don't want to go there. You don't realize just how much that'll cost you.

[Clover]

2-person mounts!! Dx11!!

Can this game get more perfect? fgfdgdghfhgf

 

Every news I read gives me a lot of hype. I just hope I'll be prepared for house system, since I really want to live in this game forever.

[Kage]

I'm really hoping that Lalafell can get carried. I want to ride peoples' shoulders or get carried away.

 

... as long as there is mutual agreement.
