This part of Yoshi-P's letter to all the FF14 Players makes me think what will 2.2 bring other than the known contents.Quote:
Work on the PlayStation 4 is full steam ahead, but needless to say, we're already waist deep in work for patch 2.2 as well. Leviathan is preparing to unleash his fury on Eorzea, new quests, items, and recipes are being added, and the Binding Coil of Bahamut will see additional twists and turns. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the keyword for 2.2 is looking to be "Maelstrom."
I hope the 2.2 Storyline brings a conclusion to the 1.0 Lisma Lominsa storyline and we finally get to fight that Travanchet guy who just disappeared from the storyline in 1.0 after 1.0 Lisma Lominsa story was compeleted.
Also the main theme is Maelstrom for 2.2 which could mean a lot of things.
(Still hoping something about Musketeer will be released since a good amount of Malestrom members are Musketeers. Anything would be nice like some info to why Musketeer is taking so long.)
So A Maelstrom Reborn?

I'm just going to assume you were trying to make a joke about the May 2014 part, but just in case, that wasn't saying that the release date is May 2014.. that's wishing you a happy 2014.
Also ... did you put hildebrand in equilibrium...? You can't desecrate such a badass movie. -
01-02-2014, 02:40 AMEdwinLiI found this months ago in a old forum post during the forums early release but I think SE deleted that post since I can't find it near the very end of my post count anymore.Quote:

i doubt the 2.2 will come in may, it's way too far, almost 6 month, it's more the 2.3 for this one.
without forget that the 2.2 will be around leviathan and we know him follower, i guess after may they will release 2.3 with more area acces (around coerthas since normally we must get closer of ishgard and in the 1.x coerthas was really huge far more than what we have now.)
the 2.2 it's the end of the coming of leviathan and maybe even ramuh (who know), gilgamesh will pop out too (seen on some screen recently). but if they want to add new...force, they need to add more area that a given since all the area we have, already have the enemy really well installed.
without forget that it's greatly possible we will get a raise of the level cap around this period, i still hope for the 2.2 tough, or maybe new class. V1 player are 50 for some for more of 3 years time to raise this level cap. -

Leviathan! Sahagin! Musketeer class! Pirates! And best of all... moar Merlwyb <3 Yoshi-P, this is the kinda stuff you're talking about, right?!

they had say while the beta, that the musketeer will not come before we get closer of the empire, since they are the only one with the technologie enough for this class, without say that they will need to add a new craft for this (engineer)
and personally i hope they will work a lot around the musketeer (maybe because i'm french diantre!) but i think they need to make it really really different of the archer. -
01-02-2014, 02:52 AMEdwinLiI think you're confusing Musketeer class with the Gunblade class.Quote:

01-02-2014, 02:55 AMSotekThey... Never said this... Musketeer is already plastered around Limsa Lominsa, and new craft? Blacksmith will be making Guns, this is taken directly from Blacksmiths page on the official site;Quote:

Limsa Lominsa has been renowned for its blacksmithing tradition since antiquity, though the advanced metallurgical techniques passed on today bear little resemblance to the simple practices of ancient times. The relatively recent birth of firearms has created an entirely new area of expertise which is being adopted with fervor by many ambitious smiths.

ok some story, since you seems to miss the point, Musketeer was indeed a class planned in the V1 when tanaka was the head behind FF14, but with what the V1 was, the Musketeer have fall back. it was there for age, but never added... more bad, now the marauder and musketeer guild are the same building. true we have some npc using a pistol for shoot in the basement.... but that all.
Yoshida have said, that new class will need to fill a role and a need. do the musketeer it's needed? i doubt it. we already have more Ranged class than melee. (4 melee vs 5 ranged) without forget that some scout class are missing, i think the thief/ninja or another tank will come first before we get to see the musketeer.
some link of interview of yoshida talking of the futur class:

JPGAMES: We also wanted to know, if there will also be former jobs, which we got to know from Final Fantasy XI. For example, the Blue Mage was quite popular amongst the fans. Will there be more job classes in the future?
YOSHIDA: Of course not only from FF XI, but from the previous Final Fantasy Series as well. There are a lot of unique jobs in the Final Fantasy Series, so you can expect a lot of interesting classes. From Version 1.0 the new one we are implementing to A Realm Reborn to start with, is the Summoner. But also there could be classes like Dark Knight, Samurai, Thief and Ninja.

New Classes/Jobs
It’s fun looking back at the various Jobs and classes featured in the Final Fantasy series history as potential candidates to be added to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Heck, you can even look at Final Fantasy XI for some obvious examples of classes players would probably like to see in ARR. However, the system ARR uses makes considering the logistics of these additions somewhat perplexing. For example, it’s not too hard to imagine Square Enix adding Dark Knight to ARR. GLD+CNJ gives you a Paladin, GLD+THM could easily give you a Dark Knight Job. But what about some other classes and Jobs that aren’t represented at all in either gameplay, theme, or aesthetic in the current game? Are these still possible? Or would Square Enix look more to add Jobs such as Dark Knight, which easily fit within the current crop of classes available in the game.
To illustrate my point, I used the example of adding Ninja to the game. You’d probably want a “Thief” base class for that, but this doesn’t currently exist, so would Square Enix still be open to adding it?
We were told that, yes, Square Enix would be willing to add these sorts of classes and Jobs if the game needed the team roles and if it wouldn’t break the current balance of the game. Adding something like Ninja (and Thief to go along with it as a base class) would be a massive undertaking as one might imagine, as each class also features its own guild and missions to go with it. For certain iconic classes or Jobs like Ninja, Square Enix is willing to do it, but they are definitely putting more of an emphasis on trying to find Jobs that can fit within the current scope of the game’s available classes.

Q: Can you give us any information about possible new classes or jobs like thief, ninja, samurai, or musketeer?
A: We definitely want to add more classes in future patches. For melee classes, I believe scout-type classes are somewhat lacking. By this I mean classes that can move around stealthily and attack from behind or steal items from monsters. The lack of magic classes needs to be addressed as well. We've received requests for ninja and samurai, especially from overseas, but we can't give out any specifics yet. Rest assured that new classes are definitely coming.
about the fact that we will to wait about get closer of the empire for see gun class (and not gunblade class, that was never mentionned) it was said while the second phase of the closed beta. indeed thing can have change, but it was said.Quote:
Q: Is there any new information on musketeer?
A: Nope!
you can do some search on the web the musketeer class is never mentionned by Yoshida, always the player that bring it, the class he talk the most are samurai, dark knight, thief, ninja. one more time, we can't take this like a pointer, but i doubt they will bring a class that will only use a pistol. without forget that musketeer, in reality, use Musket a long rifle, not a pistol.
finally, i'm ok with the add of the musketeer, simply i don't want a class that will bring nothing new to the game and will feel like the archer simply with a gun. they have in the past game many class that can be used for the gun class. here a list pretty nice of all the jobs in the final fantasy game
