New retainer ventures too. Getting the gatherers geared up is going to be painful this time.

I realize that the PS Move support looks kind of limited but... I kind of want to watch somebody Just Dance their way through some mudras now.

They did? It's either since been removed or I'm not sure which one you think is the new trial.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that you will be able to FINALLY try on items that are linked in chat. And for people looking for dress up inspiration the game is also going to finally tell you what dyes people use on their gear.

I'm not convinced that's not just a weird classification thing since that's a more generic concept than anything else. Also it's not in all caps like every other duty title. Keep in mind that the World of Darkness also deals with that.

We'll find out Tuesday!

Pretty much just this, plus a little bad timing, like folks getting knocked back into AoE pools just in time for them to blow up. Still, "A few weeks ago I was in a group that wiped on Lahabrea" is great fun to drop in chat whenever main scenario roulette sticks you in Prae.


And I know we've moved on from it but the new dungeon sets look good as hell and the WoD sets suck. :colbert:

They're also upping the Alexandrite drop rate by who knows how much.

"Retainers can now be placed on estate grounds outside the hall."
Gonna be a clusterfuck of retainers at the FC house after 2.5 hits.

They also need to break up the low level/hard/expert duty roulettes better because there's a big difference between Amdapor Keep and Snowcloak plus the gap for fresh 50s being about to run the roulettes will only get worse. Maybe in 3.0 they're just going to say gently caress it and have all the level 50 stuff be a single roulette but ideally they'll add a few levels to the newer dungeons or something so that people can level through them a bit rather than hit 50 and have an absurd amount of poo poo to unlock all at once.

The Chairman posted:

I'm not sure what "Allagan catalyst" is since it's not an existing item name.

The item from Cloud of Darkness for the craftable weapon perhaps? It's also a bit surprising you only need i90 to enter the World of Darkness. Wonder how many White Wolf references there will be in the dungeon (if any).


Patch Notes posted:

・The rate at which soulglazed relic weapons achieve soul attunement has been increased.
The drop rate for Alexandrite when completing a FATE with a gold rating while equipped with an animus, novus, or nexus weapon has been increased.

So Novus and Nexus stages will go faster, but Animus is being left untouched?

Kwyndig posted:

Looks like they wanted people to go back and do Extreme Primals again...

I might actually think about going back and finally clearing Titan EX.

Blockhouse posted:

So mystery trial's gotta be that big-rear end dragon from the trailer, right?

It'll be Omega Weapon unless that's going to be the final battle in the very last patch before 3.0 hits.

I'm really hoping they make it so that fates are a viable alternative for getting alex now. I'd like to be able to zone out and grind some fate parties in between maps and hunts. Regardless, with this and the light changes, I think I'm going to make a real push to max out a relic before Heavensward. I should finish my Animus books this weekend with a little effort, and I've got enough cash saved up for a good start on the materia grind. We'll see how it goes.

The animus nerf is that their fates are being removed from the normal fate rotation and basically will be always up like the CT fates.



They turned back on ilevel sync for the hard mode dungeons though. :smith:
