Yeah, the team really outdid themselves with the OST this patch series. I hope it comes out slightly faster than the Before The Fall OST did.

- Areas will be no less than Heavensward areas
- In order to fly, you need to do the same thing as in Heavensward. Devs want you to explore
- New Primals, both from past games and original to FF XIV
- Min specs raised
- PS3 confirmed dropped for the expansion, thank god.

will add more when I get a better list

Title
- STORMBLOOD

Setting
- Ala Mhigo

Race
- No confirmation that we get one at all
- Viera almost became a playable race
- The Lorebook comes with a Hummingway (also the codename of an Ala Mhigan spy)
- Beast tribes won't be playable for lore reasons, inhuman races for technical reasons, and not-cute races because japanese don't like em.

Classes/jobs
- New jobs confirmed
- Samurai almost became a playable job
- There are strong hints towards a new sword wielding job/class
- scarlet witch=red mage


Central theme
- 3.0 was going to be either about flying or swimming. Flying won, so swimming should come next.

Characters
- Zenos Yae Galvus occupies Ala Mhigo and is the leader of the XIIth legion.

- The blonde chick from the trailer who will join us in 3.x

Locations

- New city is Rhaelgr's Reach
- Eureka is new exploratory mission area (Tied to the relic weapon questline)
- Deserts, ruins, lots of water and a misty forest. And a Wall!
- New Aetheryte shapes
- We are going to cross the wall from Black Shroud in 3.5
- Castrums are temporary bases but 4.0 will have actual Garlean architecture
- -It will mix with Ala Mhigan style

Features

- New level cap (70)
- New raids
- New dungeons
- New Primals
- revamped battle system
- - Additional skill system (role skills instead of job skills)
-- reassest unused/ineffective actions
— Accuracy revorked
- Inventory expansion as much as possible (server upgrade) (Probably won't come with release to ensure a stable launch cause server upgrades are hard)
- New Residential area (Somewhere) (Will affect the main story)
- Flying in all new areas after finding aether currents (easier than finding moogles)
- Open World PVP might happen with positive feedback. On dedicated servers. Not at release.

Windows version
- Minimum specs raised
- really want a 64 bit operation system


Some of that's speculation by the way. Seems so. So hyped, we'll actually see Garlean architecture now. Instead of just Castrums. Didn't even think of that.

This tells me Regula Van Hydrus will ultimately meet his demise in The Warring Triad story line since we've never really had a focus on two legionaries at once, even with Gaius and Nael both alive and in Eorzea during 1.0. I'm glad we're FINALLY starting to shift focus to the Empire and while the primal gimmick is still a thing, it's being less at the fore front. It had all of ARR, the second half of Heavensward, and half the 3.X patch series to hog the spotlight. The Empire needed to be the primary focus for a long time now.

They released a lore book. The public can buy it Monday. Assuming there's any left, I'm buying that shit.

What's the point in the Raid Finder if no one is going to use it. And didn't people bitch for it since 2.2?

What's the point of the Raid Finder when you have Duty Finder and Party Finder?

I'd be scared to do raids, besides the Crystal Tower or Mnach with randoms. People STILL have trouble clearing The Binding Coils with the Echo Buff, and playing it as a full team of unsynced level 60s. Especially Turn 9.

Would you rather they not be there? Better than nothing.

No, it's good for those who can't get a group together, or can't get a group that can clear it while it's still hard. Even though, it still gives people trouble, as I mentioned. I was being serious. Why is there a Raid Finder when you have Duty and Party Finder already? Seems to be redundant.

Raid Finder was added as a mix between PF and DF because DF is full of shit stains who don't even know the basics of their own job and PF has a habit of people sneaking into kill/farm parties expecting a carry. When I cleared T9 through PF it was the most most frustrating thing to try and get a somewhat competent party for it. You'd put in the description "T9 KILL party, DB's to clear" and some shit stain would always fuck up on Golems four times in a row. RF was added to kind of mitigate that. Unfortunately, after sitting in a queue in RF for Nidhogg EX, I see that people aren't really interested in using the features they've been demanding for over two years now....

A Hell of a lot cheaper than Lightning's attire, SE really can't have consistent pricing, still a tad bit much for me considering I don't have any money left over from the Bennu mount and my half-annual subscription is looming over the next month. In the words of Yahtzee "If five bucks is a micro-transaction than my balls are comfortably petite."

I gave up on owning a house and just bought a full set of Replica High Allagan gear for my tank. Maybe I'll work on getting the money for a house when Yoshi gives everyone an equal chance at owning one.

One just randomly opened next to my friend's house so I jumped right on it. It was such a coincidence.

How much was it? I know all the omni-crafters got ass blasted because the prices went down with the last two patches, and then they responded by buying multiples....

PoTD floors 51-100 is way too unfair to groups without a healer which is more than likely going to be the case if your searching for a group. I'm more than willing to wait longer than 10 seconds if it means I'm going to get a fair shot at clearing the content.
