I've been trying to figure out how much upgrading I should be doing this late in the patch. I've pretty much just been playing tank and aiming classes in 90 content, and have both around 590 with a mixture of Panthean, Augmented Classical, and some Augmented Radiant gear. Is it worth spending to upgrade from 590 to 600 this late, or should I be banking stones and upgrade mats for 6.2? (I'm not doing bleeding-edge content, mostly just tanking Experts and raiding Aglaia, so it may be a moot point. I also have other 90 classes sitting in the i570-580 range and should probably be looking at upgrading them, at least to augment the Classical gear.)

I guess that depends on how much joy you get from seeing your numbers go up and being a better murderhobo, what your plans are for the rest of this patch, and what your plans are for the rest of the expansion. If you're not going to be running Savage this patch then you don't "need" 600 gear. You don't need 600 gear to do Savage either, really, but it sure helps, especially if you're running Savage through Party Finder. The Aglaia coins will still be used as currency to purchase upgrade materials for the 630 and 660 tomestone gear is in 6.3 and 6.5 respectively, so any you save now will still be useful later. On the other hand, Aglaia isn't going anywhere and if you keep playing throughout the expansion you'll get plenty of excess Aglaia coins, being big and strong and dunking on things is fun, and being strong now is better than being strong later. You might want to wait 6 hours before making any decisions, since we'll presumably know the date for 6.2 launching then.

Personally I'll just keep my Aglaia coins for the final tome gear of the expansion and 580-590 is good enough(TM) for me. The next raid in 6.2 will come with a new tier of crafted gear (should be 610, later augmentable to 620) so I'm not going out of my way to upgrade to/beyond 590 right now. Also we should be getting a new dungeon that drops 585 for unplayed alt jobs and retainers

Cause I doubt the 16th counts as late August. One man's trash is another man's treasure, I guess.

Huh. They're going to be changing those Job ablities that only increase the chance of Crits/DHs, since they feel underpowered in comparison to those that guarantee them. More info later, in the next PLL. 6.2 will also have DSS for Snowcloak, Keeper of the Lake, Sohm Al, the Aery and the Vault. They showed an Aery screenshot with Ysayle, Alphinaud and Estinien.

They've also "revamped" Thornmarch, saying it might be disappointing to veterans, so don't go out of your way and maybe just wait for it to pop up in Roulette.

Limited revivals in the Another version is interesting. No revivals in Savage is even more interesting. There's also no matching for the Savage versions, pre-mades only.

Good news: You can plant seeds on the island. Bad news: But not the regular seeds you use for housing stuff

A rather important slide that was missed by the reddit translators: A couple other things: Mounts are useable, though flying will not be immediately available. While aether currents won't exist, you will need to do some exploration on the ground first. You're also guided for the bare minimum on the island, but after that you're free to develop it as you wish. It is "still FFXIV, not Minecraft," so I'm expecting some heavy limitations. YoshiP does mentions a placeable orchestrion that gets quieter as you run away from it, so there's going to be at least some variation.

They're streamlining portraits. You can set up the adventure plate portrait from the plate, and you customize the Instant Portraits depending on your saved gearsets. Much simpler. All of the current portraits will be lost with the changes. New poses and decorations are also being added. Portraits will be available for Mahjong in 6.2, but they did confirm they are working on them for dungeons as well, so that's definitely coming in a future patch and not just a feature they're interested in doing. You can have other players inside and outside of content repair your gear! No longer will you have to disband the party because you forgot to repair! They also revamped the Actions screen, and it's way more readable from a gameplay standpoint, with combo actions being clearly displayed, and clear distinctions between weapon skills, spells and abilities.

Yo, I like this. It's an alternate page in the Actions menu that lays out combos, think this'll be great for setting up hotbars if it's done right.
