Patch 4.2 micro-site updated

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/patch/4_2

New gold saucer fashion mini game

New Perform UI

New mounts

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/...QBPw-Z-NdM.jpg

Thanks for the update. Wasn't expecting the Perform to get an update, or to add new instrumental options, so I will definitely be happy to try this out. This fashion report makes me oddly curious as well.

That white griffin... ;////;!!!
Thank you for the update!

The white griffon is a nice upgrade over the standard one to me, but I hope the blue color scheme used by Vochstein ends up on a griffon mount some day.

They really ought to just give all of the mounts with existing color variations some love, IMO. A rainbow-colored ray like Okina or a glowing purple/orange drake would be a dream come true.

OK. Now I'm kinda scared. I hope they don't remove the actual Perform actions from out hot keys and force us to use that new interface. Having to press keys to change octaves in the middle of the song will simply KILL all the practice I've done. D:

Huh I really curious about that Fashion report. Sounds fun. Also new wolf mount looks really nice.

I hope they have a Tim Gunn like NPC as a part of Fashion Report.

FFXIV, still majoring in minors since SB. FFS "fashion report," because we apparently need to drive up the prices of crafted goods even more.

i have to say 2 things for this,

1) I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED.

2) i hope every race looks like this like it is some snobby giant mech just holding us by our hunches like we are some filthy animal and it dosnt want to touch.

I'm just sad it's not a feature to report people for bad glamour.

is it safe to assume that new Kamuy mount is from the new unannounced extreme primal? I really like it.

and I hope the Deathclaw isn't PvP only. :(

...because we really, really need a fashion parser.

Idk, they do this, and the next thing we know Kirimu leather is 300k a pop on my server. I just know they want to force us to start making level 50 normal and augmented gear again.

Thanks for the update. The lodestone didn't give me the heads up for some reason.

Now let's see.

Soo. Ascians are into fashion now?

New minions hopefully? New mount is always a plus, looks like beast tribe mount is a elephant?

The Magitek Claw doing the Devil's horns is a must have! It's Metal time!

Omg yes! I'm so excited about this, and I do NOT get excited about XIV things. I will keep my expectations on the low side because GS stuff has been pretty lack luster, but a Dress-up mini game?!?!! SQUUUUEEEEEE

Yus, would have to be from the new primal. They did announce actually, it is byakko the white tiger, the first of the four lords, the rest being turtle, dragon and phoenix deities for the other patches trials.

SAME IF ITS FROM NEW DUNGEON ILL FARM IT TIL I GET IT

I love those new mounts, really like the claw.

Hopefully they will explain more about that fashion mini game in the coming liveletter because right now I cant really understand how that should function. Will it tell us great combinations and we will have to hunt for that glamour pieces? Or do we go to the NPC (thats totally not the weaver gildmaster ;)) and they will somehow give us points for that? I remain skeptic about this mini game..I really hope its fun but somehow I get the feeling that this is just another short time fun and death fast..hopefully I am wrong with that.

As do I!

Can you guess why? ;)

I really want that magitek claw, if only because it's hilarious and looks like it's trying to abduct you. The new doge looks cool, though I still have yet to get the others.

It looks like it just got forced into taking out the thrash

Soooo... SE has finally officially recognized glamour as the true endgame and given us a competition to show it?

Good to know.

Any idea where those mounts are gonna come from? They seem to have a connection to the new dungeons, but mounts dropping from a dungeon would be new. Maybe gold saucer?
Sure hope they're not cash shop again...

Ala Mhigo drops a mount, it's not new anymore.

Now this has peaked my interested.

Hopefully we will get a wind-up Redolent Rose as a prize (or wind-up versions of any of the guild masters, for that matter).

Well, dungeon drop mounts aren't exactly new. Ala Mhigo has one that I know of, though I sadly lost out on it the one time it's popped up for me so far... I assume the dog will be for Byakko Ex, most likely. The rest might either be from the new dungeons, PVP, or maybe a separate quest.

The dog is clearly coming from a new primal, buy it's only ala mhigo that gives a mount among the dungeons. It was a story dungeon though.
It would be neat, if they put mounts in the new dungeons, but they start this, people will start expecting a mount from every future dungeon. Same as how everyone expects a minion now.

Feast is getting into season 7, no? That'd mean a new top 100 reward and if they alternate between armor sets and mounts...

Inb4 that's where the claw comes from.

they can keep the mounts to the non-hard mode dungeon on the even patches. it's a good thing now that these dungeons carry over to the Expert roulette of odd patches.

My guess is the glamour report is some sort of GATE that gives you a fixed wardrobe of clothes and colours and asks you to match the correct parts, probably.

And please, no more PVP mounts. I want the claw, I don't want to grind another @$)*(!*$ing 100 wins for it.

Oh no. If its tied to pvp it'll be with Feast which means top 100 in your data center. But I would bank on the claw being from the Fracture HM

They wouldn't show off the next seasonal reward for feast so soon.
Feast rewards are always silhouetted first before revealed.

Also S7 will have a pre-season to test the new maps so the actual season will not be starting in 4.2 but sometime later.

Source:
I've been Top 100 since Season 1

I wanted to joke about how the glamours you use for the competition will bind to you for the contest, but as it'll probably utilize the new glamour system, you'd have to add it to the system to begin with which likely yes means binding. So my tragic joke backfired

I would not be surprised if the Magitek Claw is an incentive to run Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium.

Hopefully they add the music that plays there to the orchestrion as well.

No Feast rewards for the coming season have been mentioned or shown yet, and even though we know it'll be similar, even the season 6 rewards haven't been shown yet, so next season's rewards wouldn't be so flatly shown.

Popular guesses are a Fractal drop, hunts related, or tied to Meridianum/Praetorium. Total long shot but as "more items to purchase with Wolf Marks" was mentioned, it could be that as well, but it's highly unlikely.

That leaves crafting, MSQ, or some other yet-to-be-revealed content/source.
