The mount stuff was pretty cool though :) The thing I did not like the most was him talking about "Are you sure you want to change genders" and "Dragoon might get a pet" nooooo ;~;

They've shown a whole lot of the job armor already though, unless you meant in-game. Supposedly some of it is already in the game files. They will probably hold off on giving too much specifics about jobs till closer to 1.21 since they are most likely still being worked on.

I'm really just irritated that he did not discuss any possible ideas to alleviate the crafting Grind. I love crafting in this game, yeah the mini game is mindless, but I still enjoy it. I don't want to see it get destroyed because he refuses to address the issue until players rage shouting scrap it.

The least he could have done was say whether or not he will make XP adjustments and finish the recipe overhaul..

He will not show or discuss anything that he can't promise will come to pass. The topics were 1.19 and 1.20 and beyond/the future of FFXIV. He has expressed several time the Future of FFXIV is 2.0, so the questions and answers were correct in all sense, no one needs to be blamed, they were valid questions and answers all around. 1.19 is a dead topic already as we know that fixes to some things are coming in 1.20.

In regards to 1.20, we have next to no details on it besides that we will be given a preview on how skills will be moved around to provide feedback, the dye process will be fixed, ALC, GSM and CUL will be overhauled (Correct me if I'm wrong on CUL), achievements will be introduced and the HQ will be introduced in full along with the final touches on recipes for all classes throughout. What else do you need to know about 1.20 that will not be revealed as we approach the date of patch release?.

Before you post anything, please, think about what and why is it that you are posting. You simply wanted information that could not be given (Which we already have a clear overview with the PDF's files released) as it goes opposite to Yoshi's stance on promises that can't be kept.

I have to agree here, what's the big hurry with people? Yeah, I'd like to see a couple of things change, but looking at what they've risen this game to compared to what it was at release, I see no reason to doubt their abilities to deliver.

In other words, PATIENCE people! No sense in getting all excited until you're looking at the actual 1.20 patch notes anyway, so just stay calm for crying out loud lol.

It sounds to me like you're blowing this out of proportion honestly. I joined back in 1.8. I didn't understand what the issue was back then, as to why this game was so hated. That's when I learned how bad it was at launch.

I guess you being from beta you're definitely still reeling from that sense of betrayal (a point you've made quite clearly) so go ahead and demand answers if you think you're that entitled to it. Don't really blame ya I suppose.

Anyhow, seeing as I'm a new player returning again after the 1.9 update, I honestly feel like things are moving along exactly where they need to be for FFXIV and I'm looking forward to 1.20, whatever it is :) Seeing as how I got a fresh view of this game, I'd honestly not mind paying for it. The dev team has demonstrated that it's committed, and that should mean a lot. Does to me at least!

I just wanted to know whats coming next month not next year. Yoshi has np problem discussing next years stuff cause he can change his mind at will. But something this month is near impossible. I just want the classes balanced, effective and consistant. I dont want another boss fight = balance changes again.

Can someone link me the details? I didn't see anything on the main Lodestone page yet.

1.2 patch notes will come.

OK, he didn't talk about 1.2 as much as you want as he spoke a lot of the talk about the OTHER topic he's listed which is future of FFXIV, that's too bad.

It's not that I have a problem with the pace of the game, or when patches are coming out, or what SE is going to change. I just don't want to be in the dark.

Yoshida has had plenty of time to elaborate on 2.0 from the announcement of it to the 10 or so interviews he's done since then.

This was supposed to be about 1.19/1.20. I'm just calling SE out. Just like the class changes info that was supposed to be released when 1.19 was released, they're not giving us the information they say they're going to. Instead it's this 2.0 sleight-of-hand that has everyone chomping at the bit.

I used to think I was a fanboy till I spent some time on these forums.

The class change information was mentioned to be coming next week. Yes it stinks that we're getting it this late but we're getting it. They have probably been tinkering with/planning out more stuff than they initially thought.
