what keys? you've presumably used them already, or how else would you know they weren't compatible?

When I purchased FFXIV via Steam, launching the game prompts a pop-up showing keys to add to my service account. Since I previously had an account with characters on it, I was able to remember my original info and go into my account via the Squareenix FFXIV website. I added gametime, then went to add the product key for Heavensward to my account and it says it's invalid.

I then was reading the OP of this thread when I saw that you can only add a Heavensward steam key to ARR if the original ARR account was also purchased via Steam. Since my original key was purchased via FFXIV site directly, I can't add the Heavensward steam key to my already existing account.

So I'm sitting on two keys - one for ARR and one for HW - that I can't use at all without starting from scratch (and also losing out on my original digital collectors items).

Unironically yes. Welcome to Square-Enix.

If you want to try a solution without dicking around with a VPN, the thing that worked for my friend was changing his DNS servers to google's for just long enough to finish the patching. Searching google for public dns should give you a couple to try.

I went and had a look for myself, and the answer is a bit mundane.

The jobsam and jobrdm references are prefixed with ex2, presumably expansion 2. The jobbrm references, on the other hand, are prefixed with ex1. Notably, ex2 has similar references for every job we currently have, but with ex1 one appears to be missing: black mage.

Yep, it's a typo.

That was me. We figured out that the BRM files were wrongly named cutscene director instructions about 10h ago. They are identical to a pair of BLM files, so someone dun goofed.

To be honest, that scene wasn't really about Haurchefant in any way. It was about Emmanellain's continued character development, or perhaps more accurately closure for Emmanellain's character arc in Heavensward. Haurchefant was related, but not the main focus of the scene beside being a dead family member who's legacy motivates Emmanellain.

Yet another violation of regulation 1910 subpart D.
The Brown Mage was an NPC in FFXI who's sole purpose was to remove your current active food buff.

I, for one, am hyped to wield these terrible brown magicks.
