Just a heads up for anyone else that missed it in the latest announcement about the Live Letter: There won't be any live translation this time. It'll all be in Japanese, except the slides that will have both Japanese and English.

The last time I watched one that was Japanese only I kept an eye on the Nova Crystallis Twitter account since it seemed they did a decent job with their own semi-live translations. Is there anything else I should check out?

The FFXIV subreddit discord has a channel devoted to live translation for these things, it's usually pretty good. It's locked down so it's just the translators posting without any bullshit.

I'm rising my hands to send energy to the servers so they can announce they're expanding the glamour dresser.

So the Arkasodara are for battle classes/jobs.

Also, they're planning to rename beast tribe quests to "Tribe Quests" starting from 6.2 and going forward, which is cool to see.

That won't just be in promotional material either. It's starting in 6.2 because they couldn't get all the UI elements completed in time for 6.1.

Also, Hildibrand will start in 6.15.

By the way, this is a good option. Better than Nova Crystallis since they're also translating some of the banter instead of just the news stuff.




The Extreme version of the lvl90 Trial will also be dropping multiple totems when beaten, which is a nice change.

The Dragonsong's Reprise, in 6.11, will be "different [than] prevrious Ultimate raids." It also apparently includes a phase against both Nidhogg and Hraesvelgr? drat.

Info on the PvP (and the housing purchasing) changes will be in the next PLL.

Oh, cool. The Adventurer Plates (the official name for what they'd been calling Calling Cards up to this point) have customizable character portraits and can be assigned to gear sets, so you can set them up for each Job.

Also, they're adding the Unending Codex, which is a glossary of characters and terms. It'll become available as part of the 6.1 MSQ.

Shame that the codex only gets unlocked with 6.1's MSQ. That would be neat to have at all levels.

The "Calling Cards" are, as far as I understand, like the profile banners or whatever you can make in Call of Duty and the like. A customisable banner that people see in the killcam when you kill them.
Don't know where people would see it in this game though. Maybe when inspecting you?

DC travel is coming in 6.18, with more info about that later in this PLL.

Hrothgar and Viera are getting more hairstyles, so that's cool.

5 more glamour plates and you'll be able to change them whenever you're in most sanctuaries now, instead of just cities.

They're also adding a feature that'll let you try on Mogstation items ingame, which could either be really nice, or an annoying advertisement. We'll see. Oh, it's only at the Inns by interacting with the bed, so that's good.

Oh, hell yes. They're also adding a checkmark to mount and minion items you've already unlocked. This will also be an option you can filter on the market board. Personally I'd love for this to be added to Orchestrion rolls in the future as well.

The term "Trust" now only refers to the leveling of avatars. For main story quest progression, they'll be calling it Duty Support.

They're splitting the Trust system into two separate parts: "Trust" will refer to just the avatar levelling system while "Duty Support" will be used for running the dungeons for MSQ purposes.

Nice.



The Cape Westwind changes will unfortunately only be available through NG+ if you want to see it for yourself, since it's going to a solo-duty and not a part of the DF.

The Praetorium will be 3 separate duties: Start through Gaius is a 4-player dungeon, Ultima Weapon will be a 4-player trial, and the final Lahabrea fight will be a solo-duty.

The MSQ roulette is staying since they're longer than most dungeons. It will still be a lot shorter, though, so they will adjust the rewards.

Unless they change it, that NG+ chapter starts at level 34 or 35 and there are over 50 quests to replay before you get to the parts they're changing. We'll never be free of ARR

There was a little bit of info on the NPCs that will be a part of the Duty Support for 2.0 that the Discord missed. They'll be themed after the Adventurer's Guild and the Grand Companies. There was also a bit about the Scions, but neither has much about them aside from not seeing them "often if at all" in the Duty Support.

Using the DC travel is only within the same region, something they announced earlier. You'll also show up as a <Traveler> instead of <Wanderer>.

Normal World Visit restrictions, but there's also restrictions on FC chat and PvP teams. CWLS chats will be restricted if it's on a different logical data center. However, in 6.2 they're looking to add the capability to join a CWLS on another logical data center after you travel there.

If you're playing on the JP DCs, they're shuffling things around a bit to have 4 DCs with 8 worlds on each DC. It'll increase the total login cap for the region by 50,000. They're planning to have it implemented around July this year.

They will make Home World Transfers free within the JP DCs for a limited time after the regrouping, to facilitate keeping communities together.

Also, a clarification that you'll be able to do any content while using DC travel that you can now while using World Visit.
