patch 2.1

1 new dungeon: Pharos Sirius (showed some concept art)
2 hard mode existing dungeons,
wolfs den
crystal tower
housing in all 3 areas (380 customizing items)
barber shop
Something called mog battles (really hard lvl 50 content)
rewards for using random matching (more tombs to help people catch up to pre-made teams)
Treasure hunt (easy and hard mode)
Beastmen daily quests (make communications with them. can do solo or party)
Extreme mode Ifrit,Garuda,Titan
FXIII Lightning fate will be available 1 week after XIII launch (11/14)
- They showed a video, looks like she helps you in the FATEs (i'm sure video will be up shortly)
Coil of Bahamut will be updating continuously
Once newer levels of Coils of Bahamut come out, the previous levels will give bonus' and buffs to you if you die a lot (like story mode, etc..). This was said to help people that don't play as often as extremists, so everyone can access content. Current max level will still be ultra hard.

Crystal Tower will have nostalgic bosses from FF3
Will be 24 man (3 separate groups)
Will have content where you are mostly split up, but must come together at parts to complete a task and continue on.
Will have a dungeon first, in order to actually reach the tower dungeon (similar to FF3)
90-120 minutes long
Looking into item level restrictions (currently around Titan HM level items)
Gear drops will be similar to FF3 (gave the FUMA as an example, and said that googling FF3 crystal tower will give you a good idea)
Monster's abilities will also be similar to FF3 (google them)

Houseing:
Can customize roofs,walls,fences,windows,wall paper etc...
He wouldn't answer the question on price (will leave that until last minute)
Can grow gysahl greens in a garden and raise chocobos
Basement workshops (in FC housing)
All DoH,DoL,DoW,DoM will be involved in housing items. example was culinarian making food to put on a table, or someone making books to go on the shelves)

PVP:
4 on 4
Levels 30/40/50
PvP exclusive abilities
Special PvP gear shown (golden PLD lion, Deer looking SMN, Swan looking WHM, black DRG with red waist cape thing)
Duty finder vs. duty finder. Pre-made vs. pre-made
PvP skills to include more ways to handle debuffs (ie: sleep)
1 on 1 specific locations

So, you're stoked for the DQ mobs (that you don't know about) and Shantotto (a BLM Taru from XI) who you have no idea about? Gosh.

Shantotto is a female Tarutaru who even has her own mini expansion pack in XI, her minion is very likely to insult you and warp you to a dangerous zone just so she can laugh at you when you die. And then she'll spout a rhyming poem before she raises you, infront of a dragon, so the dragon can kill you again. Damn she's hot.

That giant Shantotto is hilarious.... And actually totally explicable. Hell, if someone told me Shantotto sprouted bat wings, took flight, and eat the moon, I would only shrug and say, "Yeah, that sounds about right."

Lemme see, before you edited your post it was just about DQ, Shantotto and the populations? I didn't "assume" anything, I took what you had actually wrote (pre-edit) and took the information from there.... Next time, be quicker with the edit button?

/edit - or actually write in your post - more after edit. It's not rocket science, really, honestly, it has nothing to do with rockets.
