EDIT: And why another highlander need to face WoL again?! (I bet that's Raubahn if you look at his skits )

That main scenario preview i cant wait to see what happens now!

Also Yoshi please I see you put your Lalafell there in the Feast part lol

I'm so happy with certain things that it's annoyed me. Because...

THE NEW HAIRS ARE SO NICE ON BOTH GENDERS...that my fantasia bill is going to increase even more than it is now.

They are Type-0 hairs as well; Cinque, Jack and Nine if I'm correct, I saw tartan leggings in the video...do we have tartan skirts as well? If so I'm glad our suggestions about Type-0 clothing/styles has not fell on empty ears.
I also hope the dyeable racial gear isn't race locked (even if locked behind high end recipes which I'll have to pay millions to crafters to make) because as well know the Fem Miqo skirt is the nicest in the game, and the Male Miqo boots are also lovely (wouldn't mind Male Aura tattered shirt for my Highlander Male...gotta show them abs.)

Can't unsee Aymeric's ears. Were they always like that? Trailer's awesome. Love it.

If I was allowed a guess, I'd say that the devs just put Ifrit gear on tanks and Leviathan gear on BRD/MCH because we alread know those but not the real ones. Devs can pretty much do anything they want with the game for the trailer's sake, so I wouldn't think too deeply about it for now.

Not sure but I'd say no. Because he carries a book and not a sword. But anything is possible

Thanks for the screenies on the tank armour. I think it is pretty safe to say from those that the tank armour is NOT titan or ifrit based.

Edit: Well, unless they decided to make ifrit darker and gave it extra bits of armour... maybe.

It really looks like a solo instance.

Could be a test to see if we are capable on fighting to death a friend on the case is strictly necesary?

( Remember the WoL already suffered betrayls )

stupid question, but why are we still on this 2 dungoun setup? I don't think there's anything special they can fall back on this time to say "Well we gave you X" to not add new dungouns. At least last patch they had Diadem.

Or are they just going to try to give less content to cut corners?

It looks almost like Behemoth, imo...

Very possible, my fiance was saying she could see Ilberd disguising himself in Raubahn's armor to try to breed dissent or something, but that seems a bit lazy

It is Ifrit though, the body is just a bit more like a coat, just like all tank gear recently. the tone is a bit darker but the horns are the same, elbow things are the same aswell. and if you look closely at the antitower part you can even see the pld sword which also has ifrit horns turned backwards for crossguard.
Also healer and caster are the same, just different tones, same with NIN and ranged. just DRG is actually unique and not shared.
so no, titan, no ramuh and thankfully no mog...

The feast is the content swapped for a dungeon this time, as well as PVP ranking system and so on.

No it's not. PvP has its own development team, the PvE team gave us Diadem instead of 5 dungeons, or 2 dungeons, if 3.3 has something equally "ambitious". The PvP team working on Feast would not have taken away from any PvE content, if that were the case, 2.1 would have had 2 instead of 3, because that's when they added Wolves' Den, same thing for Secure and Slaughter. The guys working on PvP content were never working on PvE stuff and the team has been around since the start.

If anything, Stone, Sky, Sea, the Hall of the Novice, and the Mentor System are what's costing us our precious third pretty corridor to run through and do the exact same things in. If Diadem wasn't so bad, or they were at least making some significant changes to it, I could easily see it costing several dungeons; It is definitely large enough, and has plenty of unique enemies. If Diadem was getting a serious adjustment this patch, which it really should given how bad it is, then that would easily justify the cost of 2 dungeons.

The Feast absolutely isn't costing us that dungeon though. They added Wolves' Den, Secure, Slaughter and Seize, all without taking away a dungeon.

Seen new hairstyles and still no locs for males :(

I'm curious, has the Dev team discussed how they're structured? Some of their teams I've heard mention of before (like Localization), but I haven't heard anything about a dedicated PvP team. Do you have any references for this? I'd love to look it over.

the trailer is uploaded on PlayStation official channel
and comments are like "is this still p2p" "i would play this if it was free"

On the lodestone post about the trailer it says

* Please be advised that the Feast is scheduled to be implemented in patch 3.21.

---

I hadn't heard this before :( The Feast is my most anticipated feature of 3.2. Hopefully 3.21 isn't far behind 3.2. Has anyone heard of a time table involving patch 3.21?

There have been some off hand comments over the years, but I'm far too lazy to go digging for them. From what I've gathered, we've got;

PvE team, which itself has some sub-teams (we've got specific references, like the people making Sephirot are the same who worked on Thordan and Titan).
PvP team, I believe this was mentioned around 2.1 when we were first getting PvP. Yoshida mentioned they had a whole separate team working on PvP.
Housing/Gold Saucer. This is more of an assumption, but there was a comment that Housing content was delayed because "the team was busy working on Gold Saucer" around 2.5.

I think we also have a team that makes Minions. Don't think that is their only role, but I recall a comment from Yoshida about how they just keep churning them out faster than they can find a way to put them in the game.

As far as PvP goes, I recall the comment being specifically aimed at concerns that SE can't do PvP. Yoshida assured players they had a whole team dedicated to making the content and working on balancing (where as FFXI was guilty of no such thing, they just allowed PvP with no attempt at balance, heck PvE in XI was horribly balanced). Still, given we got Wolves' Den, Secure, Slaughter and Seize with no cost to dungeons, one can assume the Feast would be no different. I believe Yoshida specifically said we'd only be getting two dungeons from now on so they can try new things. Feast is not a new thing, it is a continuation of what we've been getting since 2.1, something that was promised at 2.1 in fact (as far as Seasons/Leaderboards go). Diadem, Stone, Sky, Sea, Hall of the Novice, and Mentors are new things.

I started playing FFXIV 3 or 4 months ago and I've cleared most of it now - I think. (T13 and A3S+A4S left). Currently working on my relict weapon and thought there's not much left to do besides daily quests and leveling up other classes. This trailer hyped me back up so hard :D Hildi is back. Garuda outfit for DRG. Amazing new fights with different atmosphere (hell this dolls are creepy). "I'm willing to die" D:

I appreciate the answer, but without references it seems like there's too much guess work involved. There might be a team who's only job is PvP or maybe that team is the only one who works on PvP, but its one of their many jobs. Your recollection of Yoshi's statements seem like it could go either way, you know?

On another note, regardless of how they're structured you can be sure no one is doing nothing. The Development time that would have gone into a third dungeon is going into something, either in this patch, or upcoming updates. For example, its safe to assume the Devs are already working on the next expansion and probably have been since Heavensward launched, but all that work is something we won't even catch a glimpse of for months. I imagine they have people working on features in the next few patches and the next expansion all at the same time, so its hard for us on the outside to gauge where that Development time is going.

Aww sad, I thought it release on 3.2 . I guess I'll enjoy the new gear, sephirot, and midas first then :o

Well, my other point still stands; We got new PvP content alongside three dungeons throughout 2.x. On the PvP side of things, nothing has changed, meanwhile PvE content has changed. They didn't add anything like Diadem, Stone, Sky, Sea, or the Hall of the Novice during 2.xs lifespan, those are the things that are costing us an extra corridor to grind ad nauseum.

Is this Hydaelyn's third voice change? She's sounding younger, each time.

Young Warriors of Light refreshing her.

Why isn't anyone talking about beastmen quests? that's clearly the highlight of the patch, and what people are most hyped about!

I am pretty excited for the Gnath quests. They have a neat lore and that storefront counter of theirs looks like the coolest Beast Tribe hub yet.

...is That Ramza who almost gets hit by Hilde?

Still hoping the Allagan/High Allagan gear is all class...heard rumors it's the new craftable raid gear and it's class locked..I really...really..hope that is not true.

2 things that grab me

"Releasing Sephrot's restraints, Good Luck"

who is the woman's voice?

also sounds like a controlled release like we are nipping something in the bud

"Blessed children, Go forth and seek"

Hydaelyn is speaking plurally, so wol and Minfilla?

Most likely the woman we saw at the very end of 3.1 main story quests.

Alisaie?

The voice matches in my mind

Krile doesn't match

The voice is Krile who is releasing the restraints

(you can kinda tell by the way she says good luck..it sounds so much like her accent when she was first introduced)

if this is the case SE must have changed the voice actor because i can't get it matching up with 3.1 cut scenes

Nah, it's Leslie Nielson.

So when the drg beats that challenge mode, he does a backflip and a pose, job specific emotes maybe?
