The three 'krakens' I can think of in the series would be the original FF1 Kraken, the FF4 Octomama, and FF6's Ultros

so... PLACE YOUR BETS

Ultros as boss, in hullbreaker? :)
Edit: Cor beat me to it :p

I'll try to slow down my excitement :P They better use the boss music from FF6 while fighting him. It's one of my favorite battle themes from FF.

What were the two heart breaking announcements?

is this why we were told to hold on to primal weps?
desynth them, and possibly get rare mats/materia?
sounds fun. would make old gear more worth it, than just throwing away, or turning in for seals.

2.28 delayed......that means....Fantasia is delayed....
My Fantasia!

MY FANTASIA!

Risky mobs sound... concerning. I hope they're not going to turn into huge zerg rushes ><

I say good riddance. I'll be trying to use it as little as possible now. Barring a lack of FC members online, I don't really see any reason to use DF as a Tank anymore. Not the way we get treated.

Half the people who will complain about this change have probably mistreated a DF Tank at some point. If queues get bad (and they probably will) you have only yourself to blame.

...not sure if serious, lol "mistreating a tank", yeah cause DPS leave duties randomly whenever they feel like it. Totally a thing. Darn them!

i'd guess you dont get the bonus' but can use it for just getting into random dungeons.

Risky mobs sound a bit like HNM?
If it's like Leves, your pt would claim a boss, until win or wipe.
and then there's weekly ranking between FC? who killed most, or highest rank, etc.

This ^

It's always tanks and healers that either whine or leave right away as soon as they see an issue, as they don't have to waste 20~30 mins in a queue.

Risky Mobs sounds exactly like marks from XII. This is what I'm most excited about I asked them to add this ages ago

Q16: Are there different levels of difficulties in “The Hunt?”

A16: Yes. Some of the marks can be defeated solo by an item level 90 player and some may require a group of players to defeat. While it’s difficult to say how difficult they will be, we will be preparing a variety of hunts. Please stay tuned!

gonna beat me up some monstahs

Basically, just the usual "technical difficulties". A huge number of things can come up in the process of pulling together any program, and, well, they hit one. It happens.

It should only be delayed by a week, they estimated - so roughly the 5th of next month is the intended target right now.

They had issues with their office building..... >.>

Q17: When are you planning to buff the black mage job?

A17: The adjustments will go live in patch 2.3. The general direction of the buff is “increasing DPS on a single target.” Please note that the adjustment will not be only for the black mage and we are currently looking into other jobs as well.

the other question people wondered!

EDIT OMG CHOCOBO RAISING O: gonna raise it so hard (yes we knew stables and some other stuff but this is straight up raising confirmed!)

ok, i can deal with that. granted im being lazy about my animus.

PRIVATE ROOMS IN 2.3

chocobo raising, nice ^^

Q18: Are there any plans to make it easier for us to obtain the sands/oil of time?

A18: You will be able obtain them in the new Crystal Tower dungeon in patch 2.3. Instead of increasing the drop rate, we want to increase the location of where the item can be obtained from.

Fantastic. That's one way to keep CT 2 relevant for awhile.

Totally addressed my issue with Coil being the only place to obtain 110. I'm happy now. Maybe, just Maybe and unmarked Keystone too? Have that be a rare drop from the end boss? Right now weapon progression is worse off than armor progression due to the bottle-neck that is Atma/Animus.

Any info if we can use Soldiery for the next part of Novus? Did they say when 2.28 is? I hope next week.

Q21: What kind of rewards will we be able to obtain through “The Hunt?”

A21: You will be able to trade-in allied marks (points obtained by defeating marks) for items such as armor that is currently traded for Mythology tomestones, unique items that can only be obtained from this content, and alexandrites which is required for upgrading your Animus weapon into a Novus weapon.

Q23: Can you tell us more about the content “The Hunt?”

A23: The content will consist of players earning allied marks by defeating specified monsters called “marks.”

There will be different ranks of marks. The higher the rank, the more allied marks you will obtain.

While there’s no time limit for these marks, there will be weekly (via Grand Company) and daily marks which you can defeat to obtain bonus allied marks.

man, i forgot how hype these live letters get me.

I forgot how much the word alexandrite still haunts me

novus will change the glow to gold? O: (at least for plds)

Speaking from personal experience. You are correct. Most DPS won't leave because they have a long queue. They'll just harass the tank/healer until they leave. Your personal experiences may vary. But it's happened to me a lot for refusing to Speedrun or go faster then I was comfortable with in dungeons. Up til now, only solution was to A) Leave or B) Attempt to compensate the request. Which I may. And we might survive. I might learn and be able to do it faster in the future. But why should I have to do it in the first place to avoid harassment ? In a game? I just think being able to do Roulettes in premades will cut down on this. You can't deny it'll be a much more lenient, friendly environment to do them with your buddies.

they showed novus for paladin ^^

Repairs to 199% is certainly a right direction now if only it wouldn't require switching to all those classes to repair each piece through cumbersome menus!!

Seriously though I'm swimming in gil so I might still just use the menders for that.

holy crap
they're gonna let us dye artefact armor

golden dragoon lol

It is still going to be mostly pointless unless then drastically increase the damage your gear takes. And if they do that there will be full scale riots.

they shouldve scrapped the repair system a long time ago. it's nothing but a hassle and adds absolutely nothing to the game.

June 5th for 2.28?
