Argas posted:Another episode of The Fall and Rise of FFXIV is up. This time, crafting and gathering in 1.x. Jesus christ. This is a really insightful series. I love the stuff that changes with patches. That whole sequence of events from what is now the opening cutscene to 2.0 is really awesome. Looking at the comments though (shame on me, I know), how are there people that prefer 1.x to what we have now? And why do people say Heavensward is a disappointment?

I don't see Dancing Mad hidden in there  But a version of Answers is probably bad news re: whatever is getting summoned in the trailer.

They're a loud, solipsistic minority. *edit, re: music - so glad that Quicksand is in this patch. Looks like the version of Answers is the same that was in The Rising a while back.

unseenlibrarian posted:It's not like Doma or what's left of it isn't part of the empire, so a Garlean dungeon would be a good time to introduce a samurai fight. In fact, we know that the Garleans won over at least one ninja clan head and that even with his passing they still employ a number of ninja as part of the Frumentarii (basically their military intelligence division) so it's quite believable that the recruited some ronin or whatever from Doma and Hingashi in the decades since the conquest of Othard as a whole.

Thundarr posted:I don't see Dancing Mad hidden in there That's both the same version that is used for the anniversaries and also a more cohesive version of the music that played at the very end of 1.0, overriding the zone music. So prepare your butts. SwissArmyDruid posted:For the lore nerds: This makes me chuckle a little bit because I can't help but think that, at some point, the EN lore team had to have the same chat with their JP team that we did with EGS, all those years ago now, about making sure that there was a separate column for the loving plurals in the English files.  Also, boo, nobody gets a playable version of Ascalon.  edit: SwissArmyDruid posted:edit: Relics models found, no textures yet.

FYI these files are job quest cutscene and quest dialogue script files that determines your interaction from quest start to quest end, per level. There's other jobs' quests in the files like this all empty and just-preallocated for Stormblood, all formatted the same way, all indicating that job quests are going to be at 60, 63, 65, 68 and 70 for Stormblood. There's also 260 or so new FATEs, a new identifier for where a quest stops your from progressing based on your expansion unlock level (0 for ARR, 1 for HW, 2 for ... stormblood, obviously!) new emotes: /dote - blows a kiss, acquisition  for now/playdead - plays dead, from an emote book, presumed Garo or MGP or MogStation /spectacles - adjusts glasses, scholasticate /backflip - from MSQ /songbird - continuation of last year's idol event for Hinamatsuri, this time you sing and play music and dance like the Songbirds /moonlift - all HW beast tribes thingie

The XIV team assiduously attempts to avoid this, as do a lot of JP devs. I know many devs take avoiding spoilers very seriously. (So do the PR departments, who are really obsessive about revealing information at specific times.) If anything, this Samurai thing is a pretty big slip-up, even if it's trying to get assets into place beforehand. I do hope nobody gets fired over it. isk posted:...I'm not getting any sleep tonight, am I. Join us in "Yeah Rip" City, my brother.

The presence of this column and the fact that Koji has some amount of access to it means that the canon, in-game plural for fat cat is "fat catz", so I am glad that it exists. I wasn't expecting the final anima weapons to be the literal KotR arms, that's pretty cool.

Go in to documents/my games/final fantasy xiv - a realm reborn/ and open FFXIV_BOOT.cfg with notepad or whatever text document program you like, look for BootVersionCheckMode and change the zero to a one. Run the launcher and it'll kick you the mismatch error one more time, but it'll restart itself and start downloading things.

Go to the game's install directory (programs/squeenix/ffxivwhatever) and open the "boot" folder. find ffxivboot.ver and open it with notepad simply change the last number from 1 to 0 Next time you launch the game it will think it has an out-of-date nonexistent version of the launcher and finally download the new one.

(So do the PR departments, who are really obsessive about revealing information at specific times.) Yeah. And I guess FFXIV doesn't really have a "Beta Testing" phase as open as Blizzard's, which is where most of the datamined stuff comes from. It's just kind of different is all, since U.S. companies usually use new classes/races/etc as a major marketing tool to build hype and thus usually announce those kind of things at the same time as the expansion announcement that brings them. I'm not complaining or anything. It's kind of nice having surprises again. It's just a bit of an adjustment to get used to.

bgm_orch_133.scd.ogg is the rad as gently caress remix of Order Yet Undeciphered that plays in the solo instance between Sephirot and Sophia. I dunno what else I'm doing once I'm in game, but I'll be figuring out how to get that.

Like, I get that it's going for the whole Dragonslayer vibe, but it's missing the charisma of the Dragonslayer, if you get what I mean Maybe the model viewer isn't portraying it as well as it should and ingame it's got that glorious slab of metal charm, but I dunno

do we know the stats/substats on the garo gear? also, pvp gear is now a relatively sane way to catch up on gear ilvl, if you're several patches behind. even queueing once a day for frontlines and losing, it will take 18 days for left side+weapons and only another five for right-side. winning your matches would cut this in half, and doing just an additional match a day will give you an extra 600-1000 marks a day.
