Real answer: yes, for reasons they haven't quite explained yet, SE began transitioning to a London-based recording studio in 2.4 for the Ishgardian characters, and with Heavensward moved English voice production over there completely, with the attendant role changes for the non-Ishgardian cast. (The old voice recording had been done in Los Angeles.) As a result, there's actually a fair number of Xenoblade veterans among the cast now - Tataru is Fiora, which is basically the best thing, and Pipin, for all he doesn't get a ton of screentime this expansion so far, is Shulk. Sadly, no Jay Taylor (Reyn) or Rufus Jones (Dunban), though with Jones that's probably because he's busy as hell. We also got David Warner (Jon Irenicus, Chancellor Gorkon, et cetera) as Edmont, which just owns.

RIP Jean Gilpin, that does explain why they didn't bring at least the good voices back for HW.

The changes to Alex normal loot are almost perfect. Even in the worst case scenario where everyone in your group wants the same item, it will only take you 8 runs at most and you'd have to get insanely unlucky for it to actually take that long.

There should be breadcrumb quests at the Arcanist's guild, assuming you've completed the Arcanist quests up to that point.

Someone :spergin: has collected all references to every game!

(1.0) The server Lindblum referred to the regency of the same name.
(1.0) One guildleve objective was to retrieve the cargo of an airship named Red Rose. Red Rose is Queen Brahne's airship in Final Fantasy IX.
(1.0) An NPC in the Miner quests mistakenly called players by the wrong name, calling a Miqo'te "Quina", the playable character from Final Fantasy IX.
The Moogle Mail system is similar to the Mognet in Final Fantasy IX.
In Aleport, Western La Noscea, there is a winged mermaid statue close to identical to the one serving as the figurehead of the Prima Vista of the Tantalus Theater Troupe in Final Fantasy IX.
The Majestic Mogtome item, when unsheathed, is opened to reveal a pop-up moogle with a quill at the top, resembling the Save Moogles of Final Fantasy IX when viewed from the outside of the book.
(2.5) There's a Triple Triad card named "Zidane Tribal."

I assume you have Heavensward already. If so, then you are synced up. However, you have to clear the main story quests before you can access the stuff added in the expansion. If you're dying to play Tataru in Triple-Triad, be warned that the game is going to dump plot developments on you at a relentless pace. I would recommend working on a project on the side, like getting a second discipline up to 50.

If you are committed, then between where you are now (King Moggle Mog) and where you want to be, you will have to:
-Complete the Leviathan Trial
-Complete the Ramuh Trial
-Complete the Snowcloak Dungeon
-Complete the Shiva Trial
-Complete the Hard Mode versions of Ifrit, Titan and Garuda. The Main Quests don't direct you to these, but you need to do them to do the next steps
-Complete the Keeper of the Lake Dungeon
-Complete the Chrysalis Trial
-Complete the Steps of Faith Trial
-and watch a lotof cutscenes

Yeah, each major patch adds story elements, usually with an associated Primal. I think the list goes

2.1 - Mog
2.2 - Leviathan
2.3 - Ramuh
2.4 - Shiva
2.5 - Story conclusion Pt1
2.55 - Story conclusion Pt2, HW lead-in


After that starts 3.0 and the Heavensward story, which I believe is the point where Tataru becomes available for TT. So uh yeah you got a ways to go, mate :(

(edit) Though to be fair from 2.2 on the MSQ quests and overall story+gameplay get a lot better, so there's that.

Krinkle posted:

Those are the patch numbers associated with the chapters of the Seventh Astral Era quests. To know where you're at:

2.1 (A Realm Awoken) - King Moggle Mog XII
2.2 (Through the Maelstrom) - Leviathan
2.3 (Defenders of Eorzea) - Ramuh
2.4 (Dreams of Ice) - Shiva
2.5 (Before the Fall, part 1) - Midgardsormr
2.55 (Before the Fall, part 2) - Defense of Ishgard

Once you've finished 2.55, you can enter Ishgard (and also play Tataru at cards). However, once you start the Heavensward quests, she becomes unavailable to play against again until the end of the 3.0 story, for some reason.

Everyone forgets that they got rid of the best thing about 1.0:

quote:

(1.0) When the player underwent the first "Horn & Hand" faction leve, a NPC said the following: "Why, if it isn't Sephiroth! Or was it Sephiross? Setirophx? xXxSephirothxXx?", referring to Sephiroth and common variations used to name characters on MMOs (and by proxy, Final Fantasy XIV itself—although of comical note is due to the game's naming conventions, some of the variations are not possible in XIV itself).
