1. The Au Ra clans have homelands. Now I don't feel like I'm shoehorned in the game. I feel more like my race was an early introduction.
2. The Japanese styled music. I'm truly optimistic about it, due to my love for other cultural forms of classical music.
3. Samurai! This class looks like its going to be great. I'm also fond of the running animations, and sword sheaths. It's nice to know that Ninja won't be the only class with a unique animation. It's also nice to have a place to rest my sword.
4. New cities! I can't believe we're getting four. Rhalgrs Reach, Kugane, Ala Mhigo, and Doma. That brings the number of currently visitable cities to ten, if you add Gridania, Uldah, Limsa Lominsa, Ishgard, Mor dohna, Idyllshire, Kugane, Rhalgrs Reach, Ala Mhigo, and Doma all together. I obviously didn't count places like Tailfeather, and Falcons Nest. Those are towns, not cities. They're nice to have though.
5. The underwater town that has been shown, makes me very fascinated by the Kojin. I'm excited to form a friendship with them in the Stormblood expansion. I'm also eager to explore the new dungeon Shishui of the Violet Tides. The fact that it's under water excites me! The new mechanics that I think I am noticing also excites me. I am mystified.
6. Yotsuyu. I can't wait to kick her butt out of my homeland! She's an insufferable prick, and I hope she dies. :p
7. Lakshmi. It really amazes me that they picked such an obscure primal, from my favorite solo Final Fantasy game. I'm eager to find out what they'll do with her.
8. The Sea of Jade looks like the ocean in Pokemon Ruby, and Sapphire! You have the adorable bubbly diving animation, the shallow pools that you can stand on, and the ability to explore.
9. Ala Mhigo is part of Eorzea, and it has annoyed me greatly, that a city still stands under Garlean control. It's time to take it back!
10. New mount speeds! I am eager to be able to travel in old areas, with much more haste! I just fear that due to the mount speeds, the developers may never give 2.0 areas the flying feature.

06-03-2017, 05:17 AMDamianFataleI'm sick of the negativity on the forums, I just thought I'd share some more positive thoughts, but not everyone can be pleased.Quote:

It seems like it's been nothing but doom and gloom since the press embargo was lifted, and we got the full details on changes to jobs. Nothing but "This job is ruined!", "SE destroyed so and so!", "It's useless, no one will play it!", really disheartening stuff all around.
But amidst all that doom and gloom those details brought, I for one got super excited by the skill set revealed for Red Mage, and absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on and play it for myself now. -

Up until recently I was not hyped at all about Stormblood, but now I definitely am!
All the areas look beautiful. I'm excited about the Fringes, the Steppes, and the Ruby Sea in particular - if I remember correctly, Oni Island (or something that looks very similar) is in the Ruby Sea so I cannot wait to see what is in "Oni Island". Dungeon perhaps?
I am also very excited for RDM. It's going to look great on my character and now I can finally be the class I am ICly.
Finally... I'm pretty excited about new hunt/super FATE mobs? I suppose it's something really small to get excited over because they are just open world mobs but I like hunting. So there is that. -

We're aware.
I mean, people only have to look through your post history to see that you've brought all these points up before in similar threads. -

RDM! -

New combat system has me interested for sure. Thinking of maining SAM this time around.... or WHM just so there are people who heal.
-
06-03-2017, 06:46 AMDamianFataleExactly! I'm okay with a bit of doom and gloom. People have the full right to be unhappy, and they should be! No one should be forced to be happy, when they are not, but it is important to be mindful. Too much doom and gloom can have negative reactions on people. Hence this mostly positive post.Quote:

I'll go with my top 10 too! (going farther into the exp and patches.)
1- The new Jobs, they look fantastic.
2- Combat revamp. Omg, i want to play with every class now :(
3- Omega raid. So excited to see how the fights will work!
4- Return to Ivalice: I'm dead curious on how this will work out!!! A new realm with civilization, or an old forgotten dead realm?
5- The storyline. Even with the kinda lame cliffhanger in 3.56, i'm still curious to see how it will work out. The "grey war" theme is so awesome.
6- New areas, of course!
7- Primals and Trials! We already know two primals, but what else is waiting for us? After 4.0 will the trials be fights against what?!
8- New clothes! My wardrobe is never full for new pretty clothes!
9- New OST <3
10- Do old content unsynced :B I need to clear those ex primals in HW and get some pretty weapons MOUHAHA -

Why do some people have to crap on others for being excited? Lol.
I second the mount speed! -

On this funny point by the OP:
Who knows, perhaps in the future we'll need to liberate Gridania or some other nation from Ala Mhigo, based on its history...Quote:
9. Ala Mhigo is part of Eorzea, and it has annoyed me greatly, that a city still stands under Garlean control. It's time to take it back!
Again, I am hoping we see a nuanced portrayal of these things and not some silly "rah rah lets kick Garlean butt" attempt to cater to the lowest common denominator.
Ultimately, people have already articulated their reasons for being enthusiastic about the expansion but also have some valid concerns about it. There is no overall air of negativity insofar as it is concerned. It is better to voice concerns early on than to suppress them to keep some delusional sense of hype up. -

The removal of cast timers on MCH alone got me hyped for SB. The fact that there's so much more to come with it is like having a truck full of cool shit randomly given to me.

06-03-2017, 11:17 AMViduMy point was rather: Why make a new thread when we HAVE threads regarding the whole "Looking forward to Stromblood"-theme? I get that people are excited and want to share that but just as we dont need 10 crying about whm-threads, we can do with one excitment thread... but sure, make more thread /shrugQuote:

I'm excited for the expansion as a whole of course, but I think the thing I'm most excited for are the MCH changes. Don't get me wrong, I love MCH as is, and it's been my main since day one of early access for HW. Even so, the changes definitely seem like an improvement in every regard, and give it a much more solid rotation as a whole by cutting down on the cooldowns of Reload and Wildfire, as well as boosting over all damage so that your Wildfire bursts aren't your only real DPS. Those burst will still be important, but with the changes you'll be getting them off more often, and you won't be taking as significant of a DPS loss when a boss hits an invincibility phase a second before Wildfire detonates. I'm also a fan of the fact that there will be both a higher skill floor and skill ceiling due to the way the heat gauge works, as well as that the class will be a lot faster paced than before. It's probably the first time I've had my favorite class in a game get major changes and I end up excited for them rather than upset by them.....

I am not sure if the Au ra is from Doma. But if that is the case, then my Au ra will finally be home..that is what I am looking forward to.

Will admit this shall be the 1st time I've been with a MMO long enouf that they "Change" combat on me, aside from nerf/buff's to skills every patch, so while not looking forward to "Re-learning" my top 3 classes the toughts about it has me hyped & Mortified at the same time... which is new & thus interesting, plus as odd as a sub-MMO is these days (with games like Smite, Paragon, Warframe, Blackdesert, Heroes of the storm, D&D & Forgeworld being eather fully free with tons of cash shop or pay once to play with semi-cash shop) I do find FF14 fun.
Becides 18-20$ a mounth on FF14, a game I play regularly, vs a new 80$ game I beat inside a month & store away seams like a far trade to me (tried 5-6 games at 60-80$ value while playing FF14... beat them & now their taking up space somewere) -
