The "I pretty much loved everything in the last letter" thread: show yourself

Okay, so there has been a crapload of threads after the last live letter regarding 2.2 and how it was "nerfind everything".


I personnally was super disappointed from previous live letters -- come on, CT with 16 randoms from DF and houses for 500 M ? So i was a bit anxious regarding this one.

And while i think it lacked some big "oompf" announcement surprise to create some buzz, it was also pretty damn straight and devoid of any dissappointment, at least for me. Most things were to be expected, but nothing went wrong. I will get turn 6-9, so 4 of them, with no turn 3 nonsense. I am going to do this with 7 other people, not with 23 (that waas a possibility after all, and it would have pissed me to no end). Leviathan fight look freacking incredible and unique and i can't wait to start trying it. Brayflox HM has really me psyched up -- here's to hoping it will be lvl 80 entry and gives the new currency, so that people at endgame can have some challenge in there.

The list goes on, although these were the points that i was most attached to. Over all, it looks like 2.2 will bring a lot of new content, especially for people currently at endgame. And this live letter had nothing that disappointed me.

I also like the removal of coil lockout. Come on now. We all said how stupid it was for us to have several jobs and no way to gear all of them. Well at least now you can gear all your alt quickly for entry level coil 6 and a bit beyond. And no, that is not the same as DL for coil turn 1 -- there will be no gear level between coil 1-5 and coil 6-9, so it is more like they allowed us to gear all our alt quickly with ilvl 80 gear. And that is the good way to do it for me.

I just like about everything in this Live letter.

For what it's worth, I generally liked everything I saw. I'm looking forward to all of it quite a bit.

I liked it all, especially looking forward to the housing prices dropping. I don't think I'll have a hard time buying a nice little hamlet for myself before they drop further. The new content looked fun too, although I didn't catch if it was possible to fall off of that barge during the Leviathan - that would be sweet!

Overall I think the latest live letter gives us a fairly good update and promising content, it was good. But two things disappoints me:

1) Release date in March, i was actually expecting sooner at mid-February
2) Increase only in item level rewards is not really attractive, I was hoping for more unique item ability customization than just giving stats. And I also was anticipating if there is a hint for a Relic Zenith upgrade to enhance our weapon level from i90 to higher rather than fully depending on Turn 5 allagan weapon drop.

Fat Chocobo.

That is all they needed to say.

Brayflox HM... Amdapor Township... Leviathan... Coil unlock... More "tribeys" (beastman dailies)... All exciting points.
Probably forgetting some.

Halatali HM I guess will be fun too, but I don't really feel excited about that place.

No point in creating a thread just to say how much you love what's coming up.

If anything disappointed me it was the lack of a Hardmode of Sunken Temple of Qarn.

Does it rain on other people's parades rain clouds too much?

It's nice to see what awesome things others saw that I might have missed from the Live Letter ;)

I think every dungeon will get a hard mode, just got to wait for them.

Generally I like the Letters Live but based on this 2.2 seems lacking in diverse content. 1 primal, 1 new dungeon, 2 remix dungeon, coil, new dailies, and fixes/fluff (fluff meanings mounts, minions, gear).

Was hoping to more map / games for PvP, new open world content like treasure hunting, new HM FATEs, expansion of the map. Stuff like that.

They will. And for 2.3 I expect one of Sastasha, Tam-Tara or Toto-rak to get hardmode together with qarn or cutter's cry.
I think darkhold and aurum vale will be the last of the 2.0 dungeons to get hardmodes, before they need to start making hardmodes of dungeons from 2.1 (pharos sirius), 2.2 (amdapor township), ...

Edit: Forgot about WP/AK/CM/Prae... Those will probably come before any hard modes of new dungeons.

Don't forget there will be a second live letter to talk about 2.2 stuff. There may be more coming.

Don't forget moogle minion!

Tank mount :D

This is the first Live Letter i've read and felt 'meh!' about. The catchphrase is 'stay tuned for more info on this, and this and this'. I didn't learn anything at all here, so there's nothing to be excited about or concerned over.

Only good thing I saw is that they still seem to be on schedule for a march release.

i liked almost everything i saw.

Brayflox HM is definitely going to be something i'll be running. (i hope it has upgraded versions of the original gear that dropped there!)

I'm apathetic about most of it, honestly.
Hard-mode as a concept is 'bleh' in the first place, especially since they try to justify these trials and dungeons in-game in the most half-hearted way which makes it feel even more awkward. And I'm not really a fan of either Halatali or Brayflox anyway... But 'meh'.
Mirage Prism... I need to know more about. Should have just been standard vanity slots, but could be alright...
More coil turns is kind of....Well, we knew they were coming with this from the start, so I guess that doesn't really count as a live-letter disappointment. Removal of the lockout and addition to duty-finder of turns 1-5 is a positive though.
And Small houses getting a second floor and Fat Chocobo are pretty great.

But no Musketeer. :-(
