FINAL FANTASY XIV Patch 7.4 Trailer - Into the Mist

they didnt say anything about another weekly delivery for crafter/gatherer did they? wouldnt we normally get like three in every expansion?

not like i care about the delivery part. but i yearn for more small quest/lore stories which arent just your average boring yellow quest


and also: dont they normally write on each page if the content is for x.x0 or for x.x5? but this time they didnt even write it on their patch site. i mean its kinda obvious for veterans but its still weird

If you are talking about the named Collectors there are 2 in each expansion. The had to catch up a bit with Endwalker but it seems to be 2 named collectors in each set of expansion zones.

had to check it out. its called custom deliveries in english and we got three in SB, three in ShB and also three in EW.
DT gave us Nitowikwe til now.

The Trailer was boring. 7.4 is just like all other Patches, 1 new Dungeon, 1 Part of a Raid, 1 Trial, some small other Changes, 1 new PvP Map which looks already boring, from the Gameplay. New Gear looks not even nice. Those new Weapons with those Hearts looks like fresh stolen from WoW. And that 1 Song can't work wonders on an overall lowkey Patch that has content for the next Months.

Yes, and they were implemented in odd patches iirc. Which means we were lacking one for the current patch and our next window for a new one is 7.5

And if you look at the zones the Custom Delivery Npcs are in you see it is 2 per set of expansion zones. We have one left to be introduced in DT and then 2 for the next expansion sometime in the future.

Now that I've had the chance to come back to this with the music on, agree G'raha sounds strange. I didn't recognize him at all until I rewatched the trailer in JP while checking out the LL.
I'm disappointed in what seems to be the final tier's glam. It looks exactly like the Cruiser set, just a little to the left... I was hoping they'd go in a slightly different direction at the very least so I'd have an excuse to go do the savage, but no luck it seems. Is it me, or is most of this modern clothing super samey? Not meaning it like "oooh modern sucks give me more fantasy stuff" but like genuinely, Cruiser is a jacket with a mecha suit underneath, this set is the same thing but with some colorful straps/belts, and nearly every other modern piece of gear this expansion has been a slight variation of "jacket with straps + mecha top/basic sweater or shirt underneath". Feels a little uninspired...

Each to their own. I thought the trailer was great - definitely a step-up from the 7.1 - 7.3 ones. Overlooking the music, the DoomTrain looks interesting and different and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing how Arcadion plays out.

As for that "one song" - whilst that does seem to be billed as the centerpiece music track, the music for DoomTrain sounded great and the track that plays during the tag-team 'surfer-dudes' fight was awesome too (it played when YoshiP gave us a look at that fight in the livestream). Sorry, but from what I've heard, they've knocked it out of the park with the music and we haven't even heard all of it yet!

It's not just you, I love modern clothing in this game but it's disappointing to see them keep defaulting to the same generic kpop/streetwear look. Jackets are the new buttskirts.

That's not what people are saying. Except for HW, which only had Zhloe in 3.55, it's been 3 added per expansion, with zone distribution not having a set pattern. Patch pattern, however, has been pretty static.

SB:
- M'naago (SB zone, 4.1)
- Kurenai (SB zone, 4.3)
- Adkiragh (HW zone, 4.5)

ShB:
- Kai-Shirr (ShB zone, 5.1)
- Ehll Tou (HW zone, area added in ShB, 5.3)
- Charlemend (HW zone, area added in ShB, 5.5)

EW:
- Ameliance (EW zone, 6.15)
- Anden (ShB zone, 6.3)
- Margrat (EW zone, 6.5)

DT:
- Nitowikwe (DT zone, 7.15)
- No one in 7.3
- ???

As I said that is all getting caught up. They are caught up so we will only be seeing 2 per expansion.

The weapons are unique at least
The crafted sets make me sad as a male roe, a whole set of gear completely unusable

That doesn't really add up tho; if it were an issue if "catching up" they'd have skipped 5.3 and given us the second ShB custom delivery in 5.5. Instead, we got a third HW one in 5.3 and a fourth HW one in 5.5.

This might be the first time I buy crafted weapons/armor when they're new instead of a year later, and its not even because of the stats, lol.

Same! I’m gonna be buying the Maiming and Striking for my casters! :D
