I mever got last year's stuff because the UK promo was a trashfire.

e: Kinda want that Dreadwyrm(?) Katana.


Definitely not Dreadwyrm, they've said that RDM/SAM aren't getting Coil weapons. (They are getting primal and Alex weapons, though.)

The next live letter is May 20th, and they've said they'll be detailing battle system stuff then.

They did it for 2.x as well, so they know full well what they're getting into.

At leadt Stormblood giving you a full set of gear at 70 means you probably won't get hit by the thing where you had to wear vendor gear with worse stats than your current gear to get into the final dungeon.

Back when I was on on a weaker connection, I basically gave up on dodging Earthen Heart in T9 entirely, since the combination of ping and how fast it comes out in the first place made it a complete coin flip as to if I'd actually get out of the AoE in time.

Up 60 to 195ms from England. So that's cool.

More importantly:

A mark will now be shown at the top of the detrimental effect icon for effects that can be removed using esuna and the like.

No more playing the "wait, was this a non-leechable paralysis or a leechable one?" game.

Yeah, when I was without internet last year, I was able to play on a mobile connection with a 50 MB data cap. It wasn't ideal, but it worked well enough.

I'm honestly gonna kinda miss Stance Dancing, but at least there won't be any more lag/idiocy induced "wait why are my heals so bad oh god i'm still in cleric's".

The real loss as a SCH is that now Blizz II is gone, we don't have any non-DoT AoE to make bigger numbers with. Maybe we'll get our own Holy/Gravity equivalent? Ok, probably not.

They're the Tantalus Breeches, part of the 3 year sub reward.

The ex primal mounts are probably gonna be in at launch this time, since we've actually been shown them. The Lanners weren't added till 3.2, though.

Wanted to get this done before the SCH changes hit.

It was painful, but at least I got a sweet title out of it?

Oh drat, I was meaning to do this now that I've got 99s. Does it all have to be one sitting?

Nah, you can leave, the only condition is that you're not allowed to wipe, since the achievement only pops if you die in the Deep Palace. (Raise poms are fine though.)

Weird, the forums ate my post.

Speaking of ASTs looking like dorks in cut-scenes: As a BLM I'm always bugged by the cut-scenes where I could very easily intervene/solve the problem with some magic, but because the WoL could be some putz with just a sword, I don't get to.

During the ARR allied beast tribe quests, someone says (paraphrased) "she needs a healer badly", and I just imagined my SCH staring at them mildly dumbfounded.
