I was under the impression that they are only displaying quarrying, spearing, and gathering nodes. Because then what would be the use of the Lay of the Land skills and such for mining, fishing, and logging.

There's been this depressing air of defeat online in this game lately. It's starting to affect us all :( The sad part is we morbidly put ourself through this day in and day out.

Great music is coming. Loving the amount of thought put into the music the last 3 patches vs release music. Don't get me wrong, because it was good, but this music is just more thoughtful, in my opinion.

Also, that long list of mobs that still have range attacks, look at how many of them are special mobs or NM's. It's very true that most mobs, specifically important to exping, have lost their ranged attacks, which is great. Loving this patch so far.

Oh and the Moogle fight seems leaps better than the horrible server dependent Ifrit fight.

I'd love to know if Nobuo is still doing the music or if they are just using inhouse tallent.

I agree, except for the la noscea music, the old one (still played around iron lake) is worlds better.

And they should have used the new Shroud music while it's day and the old one when it gets dark.

It sounds like the composer is someone named Masayoshi Soken. That's kind of based off of my elementary Japanese knowledge. I might be wrong.

Thank you so much for these!!!

I've read these patch notes three times since they were first posted this morning. I was so unbelievably excited about the whole thing... until it clicked with me about the "all HQs are being consolidated" thing. I have a +2 weapon for my GLD, augh. What a total downer.

I'm surprised I'm not hearing a little more happiness (or any response) from mages. The I, II, III, IV tier system has gone away, and they've gone the FFVIII route of pure 'Base' '-ra' '-ga' spells, all of which scale with your level.

I'm no mage player, but the spell lists for both look pretty damn nice.


Also, as a Gladiator main, I'm seeing options for a lot more teamwork in longer battles. Our seemingly two heaviest hitting WS are best used behind tells me we aren't supposed to have hate in the beginning, and that it's going to be a combined, dual tanking effort.

That, or they just opened up a bit more DD options for GLA.

With the upcoming patch coming up, I hope they did some new animations for the weapon skills. It would be nice to have some variation on what the ws looks like

Yup, remixed Moogle theme.

Yoshi commented on this question on a live letter I believe. This is a very loose quote, he said something to the effect of 'this is a Final Fantasy, don't want to wear Nobuo out, but keeping in that theme we need a lot of music for a lot of things so composers vary, but music is final fantasy themed.'

Nope, the game has three composers now. Naoshi Mizuta being the most famous for her(?)work on XI and XIII-2.

So glad he's not solely working on the soundtrack now.

Kumi Tanioka was the girl composer, Naoshi Mizuta was the dude.

for locating active nodes, not just those with gathering attempts left but also those which you can currently use

I already gushed about loving the mage changes when they were first announced =P

Wow! LOVING the new music. I really hope they keep with this musical direction.

Did they say when they were going to delete dated gear/items that wasnt for a couple more updates right?

Delete the items themselves? I haven't heard anything about that. I know they're getting rid of the recipes so you'll no longer be able to make them but I can't remember ever hearing about them outright removing the existing dated items.

I remember reading it somewhere, it was going to be removed from the retainers list of items as well to supposedly clean up the list so you can see current items and such. I wish i knew where I read about it. It was prob on reinharts jp > eng thread, but lol idk about trying to go sift through that... If they aren't going to do that then that would be ok. But id love to be able to filter dated out of the market, that'd be cool..
