It's player's amount of Attack and Defense.

But I love how each job have their old RPG character.

I really want to see the other classes now.

looks like the transformations and such will probably be special items, this is cool maybe feel like wanderers from ys or zelda or something with the unique items of which probably grant cool abilities. just main hand and main armor huh?

I'm sooo into this
Can't wait for this to be available !

I love it : )

I'm keeping my expectations extremely low for Palace of the Dead, but I can't say I'm not hoping to be more amazed than I thought I'd be.

I love how classic that UI looks. Well played.

Not so sure about that... DRG is the only one with English text in the portrait instead of Japanese, so it's possible that it's a localization difference with the floor name and equipment. Of course, there are other differences too, such as the red+green icon next to the key icon above the map. But I guess we'll find out ^_^

Love the pixel art, too =D

Where did you get the pictures from anyway?

Oh wow as a graphic designer i love that :)

As I see those job pixels, that means we only wear AF1 gear on dungeon. Wondering about AST, DRK, and MCH's AF.

I expect eso outfit for the 3 HW job

Since it's there first job relevant outfit (and also the same as their master)

Ooo you're right! And the DRG isn't wearing the AF, he's wearing the ilvl90 set!

So maybe the gear is just there to show the different compositions players can use instead of the normal trinity set up...?

This is what ( I am sure most if not all want) "brand" new content ( not more of the same, even though I don't mind, I know it's a problem.) This content gets me all jumpy :D

Special items... Why couldn't they put this much effort into Diadem?

I really shouldn't get my hopes up, but this is shaping up nicely so far... At least it is far more accessible than Diadem, so we'll actually be able to do it regularly regardless of how it turns out...

My only concern at this point is probably the rewards... Gameplay and exploration look great, but rewards are where XIV always falls flat for me...

Keep my expectations low the last time i got excited was for diadem... but i really hope this turns out to be good.

Too bad its patch 3.35 and not 3.3

At the very least, I suppose the special items (and gear?) make for interesting rewards... They exist solely for Palace of the Dead, but if they finally embrace interesting stats here then that'll be something... Worst case I guess it ends up like Chocobo Racing, fun if that's your thing, and easy to get into since you can solo it, but not something you do for mainstream rewards... Think they mentioned the possibility of a leaderboard too? That could work out nicely...

Even if it's ultimately just "Do this for a minion", I believe they said they're adding more floors later, so there will at least be reason to come back to it... Unlike Diadem, which they just seem to have condemned to the same fate as Secure and Slaughter...

Love the classic look! I'm excited to at least try this and if nothing else it'll hopefully be something I can do during downtime.

Trying not to get too hyped.
But it's hard... very hard...

The Japanese text seems to imply that the Palace of the Dead is called Deep Dungeon in their version. I wonder if that's a reference to that dungeon in Final Fantasy Tactics?

And since our levels in the dungeon will be separate from our normal levels, I wonder if the rested bonus will apply for this content as well?

To be fair, to me exploration IS a reward... love wandering around new maps...

They've called Palace of the Dead a Deep Dungeon since it was announced.
I've taken it as they may introduce other Deep Dungeons later on. As in it's a style of dungeon that will have many different places.

this first one takes place under buscan druthers right? that crater with a ladder i always wondered what significance it had? Theres a cave in lanoscea too with a titled area but its right on the outskirts but is named and you cant enter either, probably be another location some day?

hope we arent FORCED to wear AF gear .... even if is just visual ¬¬

like every1 i dont want to be hyped , dont let me down this time SE! please!

My concern is that it'll be like Chocobo Racing... I enjoy Chocobo Racing, but it is a complete side activity, there is no progression in the game as a whole for doing it...

It's not that much of an issue, since we can enter solo regardless, but... IDK, it feels like a shame to me... To me, this very much feels like something that should be at the core of the game, not something off to the side... Like Nyzul Isle, I'd like to be doing this for progression, rather than just for fun, but XIVs progression is whack anyway... Hopefully it at least has tomestones, then like PvP before it, this can replace dungeons for me... This really feels worth the lost of one dungeon so far, this is exactly what dungeons should be like IMO...

I just hope this is another incentive for rewards as it stands we have Midas Savage and Void Ark + our Dungeons now if we get good gear out of here then it'll imbalance raids but we also need another place with a new setting, exploration and something that is just new. Doing Midas Normal and then Savage back to back every week burns me out by the weekend then I just go out and do other things rather than play this sometimes maybe I'll have more incentives to farm Palace of the Dead for days on days! I am really hyped just....don't wanna be dissapointed.

Liking the look so far, with just main weapon & armor it reminds me of FF1-3 days (which if I remember thats all they had for equipable gear save the 1-2 acessory slots) so... yah holding back my hype for this is like "a pervert holding a door with no handle against an army of perv's in almost any anime"... must endure... can't let the hype win... gota protect the changing hot babes... but I wanna turn around 'smack by good side, but you can't'

im actualy hyped for this.. sounds like gonna be fun

I was hyped, until I noticed that it wasn't coming this patch...
