Here's a link that recaps the letter.

That Leviathan fight.....can't wait...

That glamour system, something called Mirage Prism. My speculation on it, is that maybe a new item slot will be added to the character sheet, and we equip our vanity look, speak to an npc who saves our look to a mirage prism item and we equip that to have our vanity look. If that's so, then that would be awesome. I'd be willing to bet though, such npc will work like the aesthetician. So probably a hefty fee to do it with. And my FC was going to aim for a medium, because a 1 room small house, wasn't going to be big enough. But them basement pictures, we might have to re-evaluate that.

Quite the possibility although I don't like the idea of adding yet ANOTHER new badge every tier, do it like in wow convert all myth into philo at the end of a content tier with myth being reset to 0 and changing everything that currently costs myth to cost philo tomes and in the process create new myth token items that still utilise the weekly cap of 450.

PS4 Collector's Edition with moogle minion and Fat Chocobo mount! :p I wonder if those items will be offered automatically to those who already own the PC or PS3 CEs too?

And yay! Finally the ARR OST album is announced - the Bahamut minion looks a little odd though - I thought it would have been more effective showing him bursting out from the top of Dalamud instead of looking like he's falling [i[out of it[/i]? :p

Can't wait for Valentione's Day though - that maid outfit looks adorable! :D

They showed a new hairstyle? Anyone get a cap of that? And any cap of the Amdapor Township?

Didn't see it. I was 'running' 5K in a gorilla costume.
What's this I hear about fat chocobo?

What does this belong to?

Looks cool, but it doesn't really match any classes/jobs. Was this part of the vanity system?

Also Leviathan barding? Yes please~

I sure hope not. Vanity needs to be as readily accessible as possible. It's already disappointing enough that we're not getting proper wardrobe slots...

Regarding other things that stood out to me.... Hallelujah for ground markers and the acknowledgment that turn 3 was balls to the wall stupid. xD And I'm definitely looking forward to Brayflox HM!

Fat chocobo only for ps4!!!?!?!?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

That just leads to another question: What is a Chocobo Rider? Side class like DotL? Vanity clothing like the Blacksmith clothing I keep getting in the dungeons?

As for Fat Chocobo its the PS4 collector's edition exclusive similar to the Coeurl. But they said those that were already in ownership of the Collector's edition get both Moogle and Fat Chocobo as well. I think if you have Collector's Edition account you get them anyway. That's how I'm reading it at least.

No word on the magical DX11 patch?

That's not vanity clothing, it's a crafting material.

i was (sorta) counting X modes

some of those jewelry pieces are arguably BiS, worst case they're sidegrades to coil drops you may or may not have gotten yet

the way i see it there's 7 i90 tiered fights currently, and the weeks where my FC cared about doing primals that meant we spent an hour in coil and < 30 mins clearing garuda+titan+ifrit

an hour to an hour and a half of content per week isn't enough

in 2.2 we have 4 (possibly 5) encounters to look forward to

that's less than not enough..... assuming each new turn of coil takes roughly the same amount of time to clear as the previous 5

it'd be an awesome surprise to see 3-4 bosses per turn with a fair amount of trash inbetween for coil 6+.. something that'd take several hours to clear even when it's on farm

...not holding my breath though, i expect this game to maintain it's one hour a week status for the foreseeable future.

Only thing I took from that was PS4 version to be released in April , why so long ._.

1/3 of the new year will be gone
