Patch 4.2 - Rise of a New Sun - Teaser page published

Just realized that the warring triad are in Fractal HM, or at least their holographic laser projection is.

that's exactly where my brain is going for the time being. I'm kind of stoked for that since they make great boss monsters.

Dungeon gear is always Naff. Im not even bothered by it. I'm more looking forward to Ananta tribe , new crafting stuff new raid new extreme new rewards new mounts

I think the dungeon gear looks pretty good.

Byakko, Genbu, Suzaku and Seiryu are confirmed, and we knew that the Shijin/Sky Gods/Four Lords would be Trials long before SB was released, when they shown the full view map back when Doma was first announced, which included them on it in a similar manner to how the Naakuals were placed on the Adoulin map for XI.

The Plague Doctor's set is my go-to for BLM and SMN so I believe many of the dungeon sets do appeal to different people, although I agree most of them are just too generic FF14 style. Some gear also tend to present better with more pixels---something of which the special site is in desperate shortage. The Diabolic Fending set, for example, is one that I dismissed when I looked at their teaser image designed for ants, then got surprised when I tried it on in-game. It's my WAR/DRK go-to glamour at the moment.

I wish they had just made our job stones also act as ensemble plates. But I guess in the year 2017, bytes are just as expensive as pixels for Square Enix so they can't afford them.

I know, right? Blizzard already tried the storage fix with peoples gear with the Void Storage. Then immediately abandoned it for the "transmog tab". I guess they really are going through the Warcraft motions, even replicating the obvious mistakes and missteps.

I like how SE put a spoiler up on the main page. A certain someone is technically M.I.A.

Really been trying to figure out who you mean... But can only come up with that you've mistaken the armour hiding in the left of the pic to be Gosetsu's, when it's not his.

Edit: Ok, figured out you meant the second pic. It's hardly a spoiler this late with 4.2 right around the corner. Practically everyone who knows he 'vanished', knows he is still around.

On the MSQ section. They have 3 images on there. One of those is technically a spoiler depending on how you look at it. Gosetsu is technically "dead" in the MSQ. To have them flat out show him is odd because those segments are like a behind scene thing that only appears at the end of each MSQ patch.

It's not much of a spoiler in my opinion, Gosetsu was part of the 4.1 MSQ as well and without context it's hard to say whether he'll have a bigger role this time or not.
The only way that could be a spoiler is if someone who's done Doma Castle but hasn't finished the 4.0 MSQ yet sees the image, but that's very unlikely I think.

They did the same with each of the Scions before we found them all again, notably Thancred and Minfilia had images released way before their patches. It's because we know that eventually we will meet up with them again, so there is little point in hiding it.

Yeah but having Gosetsu there seem odd cuz he's on the sidelines now. Everyone had some involvement when they came back. I can't see how he'll play a part in the MSQ when you come back from the dead and go, "Yeah, I'm alive and got baggage with me. Let's go kick butt now." I mean he could play a part but it would seem "rushed" or kinda unrealistic considering he just came back. A certain someone technically or appears to have amnesia base upon her personality so she won't be of much help unless they give her a crash course, which I have a feeling that's gonna happen. I'm probably looking too deep into this but idk, just feels kinda spoiled to me cuz the "surprise" was kinda ruined.

Well Gosetsu isn't a spoiler unless you haven't finished 4.1 and if you haven't you probably should be avoiding a 4.2 preview page. As for him coming back, considering he was on his way back to Doma last patch, as in looking for a boat to take him across the Ruby Tide, it would be hardly surprising for him to be turning up and considering what he is bringing with him you can guarantee is will make a huge splash and take centre stage.

They really should get better at their finance managing..I mean Tataru crafted lots of expensive looking clothes for the scions which were probably not paid with her own money, yet somehow they dont have enough money now? Also why did they not just keep a small part of the treasure? It was only thanks to Alphi, Arenvald and the WoL that this was even found and all three are part of the scions. Wouldnt you normaly get at least something for that? (Also why does the WoL have to go through this again? We are not the only scions existing)

They already gave us pretty much most of the info anyway.

I'm just curious, if the joke is so evident as it seems, from which it comes from? Some famous tv show, American literature, anything other?

My guess would be that the one responsible for the "joke" is simply falling back on general internet cynicism.

Basically no matter what details will be revealed in the glamour tab, there is bound to be some disappointment.

Also, given that Yoshi-P was translated to say that the new glamour system would be of "iceberg" proportions, take hours to explain, and solve "all" player glamour requests, I'm not so sure if "shame" would be the an appropriate description. Depending on the final details, perhaps "lack of shame" would have been a better choice of words.
