I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
Personally I'm more intrigued by the fact that Varis zos Galvus is apparently willing to be civil, for at least one meeting. 2.3 kind of painted him as being ready to run a train over Eorzea without hesitation.

I'm also looking forward to the Awkward Elf Camping Trip. Curious to see how that entire trip to visit Hraesvelgr plays out.

But yes I am ridiculously hype and cannot wait for this thing. THAT MUSIC.

Though I'm really nervous about Bismarck being Spine of Deathwing all over again :ohdear:

Also I cannot help but approve of all the Bahamut stuff Summoner is getting, I'd been wondering since 2.0 how they'd handle the inevitable demand for Bahamut summons

True, I suppose.

I'm getting screwed by work proxy; what time/day does early access start? Can we update/install Heavensward before then? (Honestly, do I really even have a hope of getting on the servers without getting destroyed by lag/server crashes?)

While I'm at it, with Minfilia apparently out of the picture, you think I should switch back to English VO from Japanese? :v:

Man, SE still knows how to build up some hype and do good trailers. My game boner is blotting out the sun right now. :awesome:

I'm curious how much story we'll have to go through to get the new jobs unlocked, was hoping not too much but narratively it's going to need some buildup. "Here's your Visa, and these people right here want to teach you some new poo poo right away!"

If that's Hydealyn's voice actress, I'm pretty sure it's Mary McGlynn of Ghost in the Shell: SAC and a billion other things.

2 am friday morning PST. Don't think they've said but everyone is assuming that at some point during the 24 hour maintenance you will as that is how previous updates have been done. I will be really shocked if it isn't a lot like the 2.0 launch all over again in terms of lag and crashes.

Oh, no, I meant in the Japanese version of the trailer. Somebody said it was Hydaelyn's VA (Ikeda Masako) but it doesn't really sound like her to me.

Assume the worst but hope for the best. I at least managed to play 2.0 when it came out with more time actually playing than I spent waiting out hiccups, and they've had a year and a half of learning how to manage a data center and their own server software. There will probably be login queues and area/server restarts, but probably and hopefully less than at launch.

I would not be at all surprised if there are not some revenge runs of Coil in the coming weeks. You'll still get to blow up the Mutt, I wouldn't worry too much.

ilifinicus posted:

Nakata doing Varis is also cool, but if anything it sounds a little weird that Varis is that deep, because he previously gave off this kind of Sephiroth pretty-boy vibe. As it stands now, I keep expecting Varis to turn into a vampire or an overly-sarcastic priest :v:

What we've heard of the Ishgardians to date sounded pretty good, so I suspect Heavensward's English track will be of a reasonably higher caliber than launch 2.0's was. I'd say go for it.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the servers exploding. There'll probably be a crush of people at 2AM (I will be one of those people) but I doubt there'll be crippling server issues.

It'll be hilarious if you have to go on kill quests to unlock your class LB3's spirit animal before you can use it.

DRK? Your LB is Ruinous Omen. Go kill Diabolos.

NIN? Your LB is I poo poo Swords. Go kill Ravana.

It's a really good time to put servers up; a time where only pathetic loser nerds like up will get up, then the loser pathetic loser nerds that keep a sleep schedule, then people who get off in the afternoon, then primetime. Since processing logons is one of the biggest pain points, this should really help.

I think it's the same person, actually. She's just a bit downbeat in that line so she sounds a little different.

It's Alph who seems to have been changed completely, and that bums me out a little because Sam Riegel was really getting into the character in the later patches. Unless they're doing some really weird fakeout thing and that isn't Alph talking in the English version of the trailer.

I'm glad my master plan of "stay away from DRG so you can take it on the main quest to 60 without burning out early" has worked. I'm genuinely chomping at the bit to play it again.

Maybe I'll take a couple more stabs at getting it some WoD drops before Friday...

(edit) Then again there's always DRK's teen-emo siren song to be getting on with first. drat. Makes me kind of wonder, though, how the population will split up when people start unlocking the new jobs.
