Well I know healers and tanks will make a killing on selling runs

Omega had better be more exciting than Alexander, Alexander was distinctively lackluster.

But PotD scaling doesn't need to be above 60, it'll scale you back appropriately like it always has on earlier floors.

one might think, but theyre vamping combat, and supposedly adjusting stats like parry. might actually make tanks more dps centric and fun to play

Essentially jumping straight from 60 to 70 will be a mess, and that's assuming the EXP gained from there remains good for going past level 60.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing as much DPS as one can as a tank, I'm saying prioritizing it over proper management of both enmity and incoming damage is a problem. Expecting the DPS and Healers to perfectly manage their own enmity, and in the case of Ninjas your own as well, refusing to adjust rotation as an OT to permit the MT to spend time out of their Tank Stance, not properly using abilities to keep what damage they take down. The less "I'm a blue DPS" tanks we have the better.

The Lala inside me can't believe she did not think of this earlier oO

All these people complaining about no 3rd Job. Or complaining about how both new jobs are DPS.

And completely ignoring the fact that we're getting not one, but TWO massive new areas. Gyr Albania alone will probably be as large as all of HW, and we're getting to go see Othard too!

Lol we need compensation for getting screwed over this expansion. The DPS will line our pockets with gold.

It's not really complaint, it's just pointing out the fact that 2 DPS will make queue very long. I think healers and tank are a little bit disapointed because DPS players will have 2 new gameplay to enjoy when we remain stuck with what we already have and know for 2 years :/
(I already knew it would be DPS, was pretty obvious in fact ^^")

Yeah Yoshi said they really wanted to Focus on what they have and not just add at ton of new stuff. Good point!

IS THAT THE GHOST SHIP GRAVEYARD FROM FFV?!

During boat rides, Surprise Sea Monk Attacks.

The Azim Steppe? Cool! Will we finally get to see some Auri NPCs who aren't totally irrelevant?

I'm sure many Xaela players are hoping to see and interact with their "Native" tribe!

You know what I wanna complain about, if anything so far? Susano.

Step, up step up, folks, see our whole new OC, brand spanking new for FF14! And by new, I mean "Fat Odin with a name ripped off from Japanese mythos", Susano!

Original character, do not steal.

Eastern house confirmed :D

I like the new housing area and will be getting one.

Odin, Susano and Ravana look extremely similar to my eyes :/

Most if not nearly all of the series summons are based on Mythos, lol.

Welp, another 24 wards with only 30 plots each, probably.

But no housing right at launch, so thats fair imo.

Time to move to a dead server.

Are you counting subdivisions as wards?

Also.. Ishgard housing??

Ishgardian Housing is dead, and I am sad.

But I guess I was among those asking for Eastern-style housing stuff... thought they'd just make an exterior glamour or something, but I suppose I really can't complain about this. Less visually conflicting.

Still miffed. I like Ishgard.

I'm somehow annoyed that there's no Ishgardian district. I wanted a snowy little neighborhood, not weeaburg.

Could be worse though, I guess.

What about the garden? 20 items in a small plot garden is way too low :/

Yeah, but there's a difference between being based on something(Ifrit for instance, of course being based on efreeti, and djinn in general, that's over time become a sort of in-universe embodiment of fire), and being "Fat Odin with a Japanese deity's name stapled to his face".

Looks like it! Especially considering they're giving away a bunch of FFV related stuff with the CE (bartz/boco minion, syldra, etc) it's pretty awesome.

Keynote coming to an end and no mention of battle system adjustments. I really hope those are in the Live Letter. >.>

So far, it went the way of the PS3......

Sacrificed for progress.

I'm curious how the "house moving" system will work.

Ahh, that theme. It gave me goosebumps. As always, the music is amazing.

They mentioned 32 bit machines but never mentioned PS4 and I'm so thankful for that xD Don't make me upgrade just yet please!

Pomelo what do you mean? That already confirmed PS3 support is being dropped

PS4 has a 64-bit architecture so it's fine. :3

What she mean is how PS4 wasn't mentionned when they said that 32-bits users would've issues seeing all the items at once, meaning its a good thing.

I'd love to get myself house from new area without risking house completely.

I mean, I could demolish my current one - but then I might end up in situation where I didn't reach new area in time, and end up homeless afterwards.
