Another newb question, if you would.

Started as a healer in Gridania (because Windurst was the best fight me) and going through the story missions. Will I be able to, on another class, do the "starting quests" in the other cities? I don't really want to roll an alt to see that content, and I'm *assuming* they all come together in the end?

No, the starting quests are some of the few content you have to make an alt to see. They all end up at the same place though and mostly hit the same plot beats.

God drat there is some good stuff coming out of the liver letter.

4.1 moves beast tribe currency and ventures from you inventory and into the currency tab like tomes, a new pvp type featuring cruise chaser, kojin beast tribe quests, a new custom delivery npc, and bards get special actions that let them play an instrument with individual notes assisgned to the hot bar!!

edit: oh also squadron level cap increase, the ability to glam squadron members, and something to do with them and dungeons?

If more of this sort of stuff what we get for only one dungeon I'm pretty happy.

I was out and missed the moment of the reveal. :saddowns: Hopefully they talk/show a little more of it though it seems they want to keep it tight under wraps.

Interesting that it's going to be the headline of the patch though, and that it'll apparently have story relevance?

Flying mounts are good. Heavensward is good. The main theme reminds me of MGS for some reason.

Also, I just met the Gnath, so I guess I'll be fighting Ravana soon.

Matsuno and his Oldboy hair and ridiculously good shoes

Few extra info bits -

* Friends and tells functionality will be expanded to include all realms on a data center.
* Full 24-person alliance raids will be possible within a data center as well.
* They want Ivalice to be a part of the game world. Dalmasca's located above (either cardinal north or in the sky, probably the latter based on the art) Othard, and Rabanastre's inside Dalmasca.

So now that I look closer, there's obviously Bahamut in the center, what I assume is Nael to the right, but what's the figure on the left? Is that Twintania's ring?

Also this is supposedly just one fight, right? Because the implications are :stare:

It'll probably be 'fight Twintania, then Nael, then Bahamut' but all three of them at once would be loving incredible. Can't wait to watch the streams.

Apparently they're adding Lyse's first outfit to the Mogshop (they're not ready to give away her dancer outfit or so they say or something).


I'd definitely be interested in that glamour, but only the jacket part. I want a shirt under it, not a boob tube.

Because of the way FFXIV armor works, it'll come with the boobtube, for better or worse.

Also the Edda outfit is live now. And yes DRKs can finally get their scythes.

I'll say this: the platform boots look really good on Roegadames.

It is not. Also, each job needs to buy a "different" weapon, which admittedly is the most gil-pincherly the Mogstation's been in a while.

It's a shame that the way the class/job system is coded it's probably not possible to make "class neutral" weapons that can't be equipped but can be glamoured over anything. Would solve a lot of problems.

I wish there were Emperor's New Knives, so when you're hitting someone as a NIN it just sort of looks like you're flipping at them.

And Assassinate just looks like you're smacking them upside the head.
