I still cannot read the phrase "on a horse" without my mind going straight back to that silly meme-ad a few years back.

We're on a new adventure. That's all the title promised. It never said anything about who would be on it with us.

Mostly looking forward to see the glam sneak peeks from the LL.

• Beach'ish glam again? That better not be genderlocked when it's live.
• Am I hallucinating or was that The Griffin's armor featured into PvP series? It's about time, dangit!
• Alliance glams are looking rad. Yet another tablecloth for healer, but at least they look good. I wish I can use the aiming's or fending's though.
• Treasure map glam looks... like a rip off from Male's Valentione. Ah well, yet another thing to collect!

Menphina's face looks very disturbing to my eyes for whatever reason... o.O

Seconding this. I always expected her to look ethereal in a NON creepy way xD. I wont be using 7 euros to change the deity though, no matter how blankly she stares at me.

Again, no new glam that would remotely work for DNC. I've been wearing the same pants since ShB.

Halone looking like Lenneth Valkyrie makes me smile immensely. She better have Nibelung Valesti, or I will be SORELY upset.

They need to make this boss glamour available as it could work with A LOT of looks, and I would instantly wear it for a dark WHM style look. LOVE the crown! :)

And I wouldn't doubt if that has been talked about already on the forums. I've been pretty much gone from the game for the past few months, barely getting back to it leading up to the patch. Was going to let my sub go again, before I realized how soon it was happening.

Right? Kinda looking at those possessed dolls in jumpscare movies. On the flipside, a friend said she looks funny like Hatsune Miku... lol.

Depends on your taste, but I think the alliance ranged set looks like it would be nice for dancers.

Hah, wouldn't have thought of it but fair call; it is filling a gap though. Just the other day I was mucking around with short hairstyles on one of my characters and realising that the two shortest male styles are still quite long over the forehead, and I was thinking it needed one that was more like what they have previewed now.

FFS they need to stop with the ultra short hair, theres aready more then enough, give us longer ones finally..

But we have to KILL Chaos!

The content looks fun but the outfits just look like more of the same and look like a lot of reskins including mounts. The hair is awful.

I wish they would add more hair and longer styles and also better outfits for dancer/ranged. It seems the boss NPC's are being given all the really nice gear and we are still stuck with generic.

I never understood tanks having DoTs, so good riddance to the PLD DoTs. I miss classes that specialized in DoTs more and could have a few going at once. Here, they seem to have just handed them out to almost everyone, but maybe we're moving towards a few jobs being better with them.

The hair isn't anything I particularly like, but I appreciate that male players will have something actually short to work with. I'd love if they'd add more hair, more frequently, AND make some of it long..

I think its to possibly prevent leaked images or some stuff. Kinda endearing at this point but still weirdly odd of them

Has the patch power point ever leaked? As far as I can remember, the only real leaks the game has ever had were the SHB expansion ones.



The new raid looks gorgeous which makes the gear a bit underwhelming in comparison. They're pretty...but a few of the glams look very similar to stuff we already have. What I presume are the casting/healing sets look particularly boring. "divinity" is such a broad source inspiration, I was hoping we'd get more varied silhouettes across the different tiers :c

Patch 6.3 looks fantastic. The new drops and rewards are excellent and the raid looks fantastic. Many new surprises here like mounts and the new UI. Sadly, many players don't care much for glam anymore or even the content. Casual content usually dies out after two weeks to a month, and who needs glam when you can install mods? I don't think 6.3 will help save the fact that many want FFXIV to be more like Second Life, not WoW. And it's a bit sad to see Yoshida and his crew working hard on this content when most players in NA won't finish the Deep Dungeon, or play the alliance raid after the first month. The work put into this game is under-appreciated by many fans, who'd rather play other games instead (and consider that a virtue).

Do players really think this now? What has gone on in the past few months that I've been away?!

Some good complaints although mostly masked behind whining

No, I would actually love to be wrong here. Problem is, I know I won't be. North American players seem to show much less interest in patch content than JP. Their party finders are much more active with raids and other content months after 6.2, which was a pretty beefy patch season. Ours is pretty middling in comparison, even Aether. I hope the NA community can shift gears and appreciate our content more, because 6.3 looks like a good patch.

I really pray that isnt the only hurr this patch now that hroth and viera are getting every new style. Like wow...another really ugly short style that shows off our 5heads.
If you check the 144p print outs a male viera is wearing the Roxas style so thats 1 new-old hair added for viera. Praying they slap vieras 6.1 and 6.2 updates onto hrothgar in 6.3 so we can get 2 of the three bozja hairstyles (early and bothways) as well as Rainmaker.

I know complaining about this has no use whatsoever but why can't they for once design a good looking maiming set. Always pseudo tank design.

It isn't genderlocked, when they showed the map glam they said "it isn't gender-locked like the other set we showed earlier", meaning the "whoops not pvp set". Get your banana hammock on with tiddies out in style. :D

It's for this reason I wished Reapers got Striking gear. Or better yet, just remove the damn role restrictions.

I'm wondering whether they accidentally switched the images for the tank and maiming sets. Having the tank in lighter robes doesn't really make sense. The alleged tank gear would look good for reaper.

These Casting (?) gloves, lol. Ravel Keeper Halfgloves of Casting version 2.0... I've been wanting some "all classes" gloves like that since forever. ;_;

btw can we agree how awesome it seems that they brought back Agrias's VA from the Orbonne raid to voice I assume Halone? At least Im pretty sure its the same voice.

Also cant help but think Lenneth Valkyrie from Valkyrie Profile with how they designed her and her move set.

Ravel armbands without tattoos on hroth fur or auri scales is a huge win I'll take it

But what if it's unisex? :)

Anyways I love the new housing skin as well, it has build-in Onsen that saves me 1 outdoor slot :D

I'm mostly wondering if they made the swim shorts not gender-restricted...but I'm leaning towards "no" considering history in that regard.
