I'm gonna search it, not saying you are lying. It's just weird that they announce those 3 options (2 of them were obvious) and don't mention the digital deluxe editon.

I saw individual crafting gear. The melding nightmare returns q.q

I think they were just mentioning the ways its being released, Big pack, Solo pack, and bundle pack

CE preorders start March 16 they said

How much is the CE.

As long as there is a digital collector's edition I will be happy. >__< They didn't mention any sort of digital versions at all for the expansion, but I hope they plan on doing it the same way as when FFXIV 2.0 was originally released.

hatchingtide in april ^^

Well at least early access is still technically spring. So they still didnt really miss their release window of "spring 2015"

Disappointed to be honest. Happy that, "Delays typically are good for games", I guess. But really let down that they went out of their way recently to say that we wouldn't have to wait long after 2.5 part two, to get into Heavensward.

I mean, this potentially leaves us at a 3 month gap of content. I don't know what they plan on doing to keep the current players engaged in the mean-time.

I need that dragoon job set in heavensward right now!

Look at it!

It's about the same amount of time between major patches. Three months from the final installment of 2.5

3 months is pretty short TBH. Other games have 1 year+ gaps. If you consider they split 2.5 into 3 patches, it's about 6 months from the end of 2.x.

I'm shopping currently but that last video was amazing, delay is boo lol but the areas are - wow. Time to hurry up and wait!

It might not have materia slots. I'm hoping it's like the i70 token gear.

Final Fantasy type 0 and the FFXV demo? IDK. I see myself taking a bit of a break. Which should be good to get recharged before expansion hits.

Also I like parts of the dragoon Af but not all the stuff on the hips. Its too much. Wont be using it for glamor.

How do you put that on without stabbing yourself to death? O.0

Did anyone get a scrennie of the Ninja AF?

SCH AF plz lol

I missed where they showed the new AF.

A JP blog that put up pics of the new DoW/M sets here

I hope they'll do something about inventory space. With each job, crafater and gatherer having their own unique gear it'll be hard.

That's actually good news to me. Hopefully I will have enough time to get T12 and 13 down in coil. Not being able to find a stable static is rough.

A lot of issues with that though. That's the time between major patches, but there's things in-between. We don't just hop from 2.4->2.5, which is essentially what this is (2.5 Part Two->3.0 being 3 months and all). We have 2.41, then 2.45 to fill the gaps. New Recipes, Questlines, even things like Golden Saucer, or Hunts, Relic Stages, etc etc get released in patches like that. Having 3 months of literally nothing at all other than bug/hotfixes sounds like a not-so-good thing, unless you're catching up I guess.

Plus, the bigger issue is just that they've been pushing this idea of, "We want you to not have to wait too long after 2.5 Part Two to start playing the expansion. We want you to be able to jump in as soon as possible, so the 2.x ending will be fresh." 3 months isn't exactly what I'd consider 'keeping it fresh'.

It's just an expectations thing. If, during Fanfest, they had just teased a 'Summer 2015' window for Heavensward, they could have pleased people (like me) today, instead of having a slight bit of disappointment.

It's completely fine if they have to add 3 more months to the "wait" time if it means keeping it polished. We do NOT want another Assassin's Creed: Unity.

SCH AF plz lol

So we're supposed to sustain ourselves on....what exactly? Savage? Fishing achievements? Craft luminaries....lvl 20 choco ( oh the hell ).....

The question I have is if I buy a single copy, will the expansion work with both the PS4 and PC versions I have, or will it be for only one of the two?

grind 1m mgp for fenrir
grind ex for mounts to get kirin
grind more mgp for the outfits

I'm not complaining. I'd rather them take their time and put out a great expansion, which is what this is looking to be. Gives me time to finish leveling up my NIN and then getting it's Zeta, as well as just generally prepping for the launch. Also will give me some time to level my crafting classes and get some money before the expansion drops.
