Complained about the leaks with his hot inside info and then his fans started being creepy little nerds and made the leaker say I'm out when they started trying to find out who he was.

Not positive what's changed since the preliminary, but the full patch notes are up now.

Also, not a spoiler as such, but apparently the table that governs gear class/job requirements (PLD/WAR/DRK, MCH/BRD, etc.) was expanded with a bunch of blank slots. Doesn't necessarily mean anything on its own, but it's interesting.

If anyone has been hoarding tier VI crafting/gathering materia the prices are about to crash, also tier V.

Possibly because there's no new crafting/gathering gear - which isn't a big surprise, given that the final two rounds tier of crafting gear were released in the respective x.3 patches.

also scrip cost for materia has been heavily nerfed.

I very much doubt that will reduce the price of VI materia, because yellow scrips are very important for alchemics for the new patch. I do agree with the V materia though, that's going to crash hard.

In Seven Years, the Namazu would have summoned The Big One and provoked a military response from Garlemald. Many Namazu would have been killed...

The Burn is super pretty and that final boss doesn't mess around. Cooldowns and strong AoE heals help a lot.

I was thinking the same. The final boss seems to hit really hard for a dungeon boss.

A lot of the bosses had fast mechanics, but the last one was especially mean. I got a little giddy seeing Mist Dragon again, though. Especially when it turned into mist. :allears:

When I saw the Mist Dragon I knew it was coming. It just had to. That still didn't stop me getting pretty happy about the dragon turning into mist. Nice to see it now in the game.

My soul cries out
with the desire to
FRACTURE
your puny spine.


what do you mean that hotkey disappeared
What the flying gently caress was that last 30 minutes of the story?

Spoilered version of the story events for those who care:

  • We saw it in the trailer, but Doma summoning a primal and the Doman Envoy not making it to Garlemald has caused Garlemald to go back to poo poo.
  • They finally came up with an answer to why Garlemald can't just fly in and re-crush Doma - there's an Allagan ruin in the Burn that set both Azys Lla and Dalamud into flight, and the bulk of the story involves firing up the ruin to set up a barrier and block their ships. (not that we see it)
  • Thancred finally has a good idea - he suggests they spread rumors about Zenos' death in the capital and that the one in Garlemald is an impostor, causing another war of succession to weaken Garlemald.
  • Shortly after that, something nearly rips the souls out of all the Scions' bodies... and succeeds in ripping out Thancred's. What the poo poo?
  • Urianger and Y'shtola begin to discuss both this and how there is suddenly less aether in various parts of Hydaelyn - at which point the something happens again and they are also left soulless.
  • Solus zos Galvus, the first emperor, is still alive... and he's an Ascian, having founded Garlemald specifically to cause problems for the world. Suddenly Varis' behaviour is cast in a new light, as he is not at all happy with being under the Ascian's thumb. Solus is likewise not happy with having been summoned back by Elidibus, but seems to be milking it for all it's worth.
  • That "Black Rose" sidequest finally had a payoff. Turns out Garlemald/the Ascians did get their hands on it, and Alphinaud and Shadowhunter stumble upon a Resistance base in Garlemald that was hit with it. Yikes.
  • On that note, Alphinaud made it to Garlemald. (but where's Maxima)

tl;dr version: It looked like we were going to start cutting to the heart of the plot this patch, but some power that be really doesn't want that and ripped the souls out of all the Scions who were about to do just that (Thancred, Urianger, Y'shtola). And it doesn't immediately appear to be Ascian. Uhhh???
