Patch 3.5 - Speculation Thread

We'll be getting 3.5 sneak peak on Nov. 25, so its looking like it'll be released by Dec. or Jan based on their 3~4 month patch releases.

I doubt they delay 3.5 that long, especially as we'll have another immediate delay leading upward to the expansion. My estimations are:

January 10th - 3.5
April 18th - 3.55 (Bigger .5 patch than usual ala 2.55)
Early July - Stormblood

The recently added outfit was from the Chinese client, it wasn't released until now, i don't understand what's your point with mentioning the Client type.

It's not like you have to code something extra complex to make it happen in the other servers, it's just a 3D model that can be exported and imported easily, even if the game engine was different based on region it would be converted and adjusted quite fast.

Anyway, everyone will have a Panda if it comes to every store.

Please look forward to it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think I'd like to have a giant flying book for a mount.

I'd fly around like this lassie:

The point I'm making is that whatever is datamined from our game is not datamined from the Chinese client. Stuff that is available in ours is not readily available in theirs, and vice versa. They might've had the Panda mount for ages, while we're just getting it now, let alone that it was only added just last patch.

EDIT: All the stuff here, cannot be obtained in our client, it's all exclusive to the CN client.

Maybe it's actually the PVP mount reward for season 3, they used a different silhouette just so people didn't know what it was.

Why post a silhouette of something that's obvious instead of the actual mount?

Well if it is then I still want a void ark hell hound as a mount but idk..I feel like the hell hound is for sure the feast reward.

I'm just making an observation, i find it weird why would they use a silhouette instead of the actual model since people can easily guess what it is.

D: My bad, worded that horribly, but I guess the word I'm looking for is the majority of the content available there is unavailable here (Butler Barding, Hell/Heaven outfits + Bardings, etc.)

There's a chocobo with a Monocle on that Store, now that's something i'd spend money on, not mounts everyone runs around with.

I kinda expect Glamour Egis to end up being pushed back yet again.
