What you looking toward in Patch 5.2

Post here anything from the Letter from the Producer that you're looking forward to in Patch 5.2. One thing that will be most convenient will the removal of the Party req. when doing company crafting.

the new ruby weapon trial should be cool. also interested in learning more about the bozja citadel.

Did they mention anything about the removal of company crafting parties? I dont remember seeing anything in any of the live, unofficial translations about that at all.

Also...Savage raid, how is it a contest?

If i had to pick a 2nd...Probably the new "Eureka" Like mode...But im skeptical. I hated SB Eureka...But they said this time that its going to be dooable solo, mostly, so thats a step in the right direction atleast...I just hope it wont take me 4+ hours to level up from lvl 1 to 2, assuming its going to be similar to Eureka.

Didn't tune in, but did they say anything about healer reworks?

no they didn't say anything about any job changes, might get something in part 2.

They said job adjustments coming but didn't go into detail.

Yes the said the Party requirement for company crafting will be removed.

Deep sea fishing sounds really fun. Thought heard something about beastmaster is that going to be next new limited job.

Only the usual stuff, really: new MSQ, new dungeon (all one of them :( ), and the story associated with new trial & Eden.

They are making small PvP tweaks with 5.18 and much more with 5.2 and that is what I am most interested in.

I'm excited for:
- removal of the party requirement for free company crafting
- relic weapon questline
- relic tools for crafters/gatherers
- ishgard restoration updates
- new beast tribe (gathering!)
- universal lure for fishing
- deep sea fishing
- crafting simulator
- another Amaurot themed dungeon
- fighting the Weapons and whatever story goes with that
- possible dive into hrothgar lore
- more of the eden story and the new raid tier

... And of course more of the main story quest. I'm sad that it seems like the Shadowbringers portion will be coming to an end soon but excited to see what kind of conclusion we'll get.

Only for more MSQ. I will probably start making it a habit to watch important lore-related stuff locked behind raids or optional trials on youtube or so.
Never unlocked any hard dungeons, raids, optional (non-msq-required) trials and don't intend to.

I'm looking forward to the relic weapon being done solo. I am horribly afraid that this is an outright lie. Didn't the initial Eureka slide say it was solo-focused too?

I think the reason is that they way they(devs) think players will play the content and how players(atleast EU/NA) plays it is completely different.
The intention for Eureka was for people to solo grind mobs and when a fate started, form parties for that and disband after.
History tells us how most players just went with the fate train.

I'm mostly looking forward to more Hrothgar lore since it looks like the relic will take place in their homeland.

Relic gear and RDM buffs. Outside of that, the MSQ of course. Of course, until we get more concrete info instead of just "it's coming" you have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I'm excited for everything except the restoration ranking system.

Being potentially locked out of an exclusive title because of cheaters does not sit well with me, though I'm glad other rewards are tied strictly to making lots of contributions.

Hopefully there's enough "top spots" that anyone who puts in a strong effort will be able to get a title for their preferred class regardless of how many cheaters are also going after it, because it's a given that they will and SE would be foolish to not anticipate such.

I hope so... i play a lot, but there is a limit on how much "hard work" i can output during this due work being taxing and family etc... while there are no lifers (which i dont mean as an insult) wo can craft 24/7 and will spamm this like insane. Like my fc mate and many many others were basically done with bluemage 2 hours after the patch which is 4 hours before i even get outta work xD

If there is a tome and other weekly caps i dont see why ranked crafting should be tied to special stuff without any limit.

weapon raid series
msq
eden
relic weapon n tie to bozja citadel

Relic weapon but most importantly the Savage boss being with Ramuh's remix

I'm wondering if they will remember Jade weapon. Perhaps it will be left out due to the fact that it's part of the VII compilation.

RDM was mentionned, so they will obviously focus their job adjustements for 5.2 on DPS again.

If they mention Healers rework, at this point, I believe it will be during 5.4/5.5 live letters but for 6.0.

Tbh nothing same old same old

I dont mean to sound rude, but the optional trials are not much different from the normal ones.... They are usually pretty easy to clear and tie into msq.

Interested in the lore we're getting for the Hrothgar since there not much currently aside from Gunbreaker. Other then that the next Eden raids if only for the fact that we'll be getting remixes of the old primal songs and Ifrit will most likely have an interesting fight for once instead of just some 1.0 jank mixed with 2.0... same with Garuda but she had more then Ifrit to begin with.

idk about you guys but the thing i'm most excited for is the ocean fishing :)

People will always find the quickest and most efficient way, even if it wasn't intentionally created by the devs. I'm just glad that they embraced it with Pyros and nerfed Pagos to the ground. It was way more fun to hop on the Fate train imo. I grinded mobs in Anemos until lvl 10 with various groups. It was not a pleasant experience for me. I just hope that they learned from some of the mistakes they made with Eureka and handle what's next better.

But I guess what I'm looking forward to the most is the new relic weapons.

Don't worry, didn't sound rude at all.
May be true for normal persons, but not always for weirdos like I am :). For example, when I watch a dungeon/trial guide on youtube before doing it myself, it looks indeed quite easy there (like from a bird's eye PoV). But once I'm playing it myself, either all, fragments or none of the "looks" easy stuff actually applies to me. I'm more than happy if I am able to remember the most important mechanics of the already required group contents (in case leveling roulette throws me into one XD). However, I'll keep it somewhere in mind, should I ever move out of my story-only mindset.

-First and most I'm looking forward to the relic weapon quest.
-The new main story + next normal raid tier are always a thing I'm looking for.
-The new gathering content, especially that sea fishing they shwon sounds damn sweet:)

All the amazing Viera and Hrothgar exclusive hairstyles <3
