I'm not sure either..but everyone loves Tarus lol. I do like her Rhyming style in English localization though.

For the main storyline buddy you can get a Female Lalafel that laughs and acts exact same way as Shantotto :) I kept on skipping till I got her and named her Shantotto lol

Technically, Shatoto and Shantotto, are Extremely simular to the eye... I'm sure they did that for a reason :P.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. On the preview pic we got ages ago, BLM AF was black. Maybe the NPC is wearing a brown version of the outfit exclusive to him.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Think of a party of these:

All the job quest NPC's gear is a different color than the released SS so I'd assume it's a safe bet to say that they're unique in theirs and the playerbase's will be the released SS.

I kind of hope you are right, this will add some uniqueness to the quest Characters. XIV needs some Character development since the main story arc is on hold.

Was that so hard?

All you had to do was come out last monday and say "hey it's gonna be another two weeks" here's some stuff we've been working on.

Keep that in mind for the future. *IF* there is a delay to the patch, just let us know, throw us a little info and we'll all be happy.

Just like back in the day in FFXI they had some NPC only variations of stuff.

WoTG story you have spitewardens who wears a very unique (and powerful) form of the Duelist Attire for RDM:

Duelist -

SpiteWarden -

Well I guess bad news with pretty pictures is better than no news.
Here's to hoping there isn't ANOTHER delay.
As much as I like to know that the dev. teams trys to iron out all the kinks to give us good patches this patch is such a tease...like that one girl in high school.....You all know the one.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I wish we could press like more than once

Does kinda bite that the patch is delayed into Mass Effect 3/Tales of Graces F territory but I would rather have finished stable content, rather than unstable junk. So all is good in my books.

http://sabotenders.enjin.com/gallery...97/album/20532 more images for AF quests. (they were under the same directory)

How about some Job related Wallpaper ( like one for Dragoon, one for MNK, etc etc)

They're definitely not like that "one boy in high school" or else we'd be getting patches all the time :[

I forgot about ME3, the patch is being released during a 3 test week for me in college. What asses right? for not planning around my tests *sarcasm*

Shantotto's Stone?

Meh, rename it to Vivi.

Can someone translate the text from the other pictures?

OHOHOHOHO!

Did they change the color of the BLM af, on the preview pic posted a few weeks ago it was black/purple now it looks like maroon. Also did they chagne the looks for the WHM AF gear? I dont see the typical red "triangles" on the robe

I don't think that's WHM gear. That's Raya-O-Senna

And are you happy?

Did you feel that everyone who complained is victorious and we should be thanking all the complainers? No doubt they will take credit.

It appears that the 2.0 version of spellcasting is still slightly different to what we will get with the live version, and will still be slightly different to that even when 1.21 launches, though they are trying to make it exactly the same as the 2.0 version. Quite interesting to think that even while this version of the game is being patched etc an entirely new version of it is being worked on in the backgrounds (in terms of underlying coding and such)

The Bard image gives me a feeling of when you attempt to shoot the Stinger at Metal Gear in Metal Gear Solid and Snake wont do it because it has a hold of Grey Fox haha.

I would like the glowing eye as well. That is my only complaint about the gear.

so yeah, i dont think thats a valid excuse for anything(i know a few people dont know how things work and probly did it that way, but that has to be very very few, if it was a good ammount id be more worried about peoples mental state then anything else)

Well considering most of us had already had the first month payed for back before they ever decided to start charging Ved, and that this patch was SAID to be scheduled for the beginging to middle of this month, there isnt anything wrong with our process. It didnt cost me a dime extra, until now. I fail to see what part of that is an "excuse".

I'd like to say, who called march 8th!

Oh good, the situation fixed itself.

I'd be really happy if it glows when you're in combat mode/casting spells.

Yoshi-P thanks for the hard work staying up still 5:30 AM for these fucking slave drivers you call customers and they are still not happy. All i can say it's ready when it's ready.

It's looking like the quest npc shown in the picture has a special re skin of the blm armor

I really wanted to have the specs changed for magic casting and we have been making adjustments up to the last minute, and while the system is not exactly uniform internally with the 2.0 client, we did our best to make the behavior just about the same.

This seems to be referring to the upcoming change to the casting system, in which movement will cancel spell casting. This change is scheduled to go into effect with patch 1.21. I assume that Yoshida is saying that the way in which spells cancel when moving in 1.21 feels almost (but not exactly) the same as it will after 2.0 hits.

Having said that, since he only referred to "magic casting", it's very possible that other elements of the system will change as well.

Seconding this! I'd like to know where the other pics were found o.o

This one in particular is awesome since it shows that each AF will have multiple styles. Wonder if it'll be like AF/Relic in XI or if it'll just be dyable... or maybe just each special npc has their own style and then the player gets the black/purple one... hmmmm...

Who exactly isn't happy right now? A small minority of people at this point? Stop being a negative nancy and Yoshida's baby sitter.

I just hope magic impact animations will have been revamped when the jobs are introduced.

It's sad to wait for another 2 weeks but we don't want bugs so yea. I hope we will see more pics or videos next week though in his letter and a set date. All of these AF looks so cool in high graphic.
