Patch 1.23 Notes up

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/50278

(Don't.)

Best. Auto-translate. Ever.

Seems pretty bare. Maybe to prevent spoilers? Or is the content coming in large waves in a/b/c as considered?

(Coliseum Loincloth), (That's interesting)

seems kinda weak........................I expected a EPIC finale, i guess with the letter patches then.

Huh... its pretty much just Skirmish and GC last fight.

Oh well, that's not so bad.

That wasn't interesting at all lol

I honestly think 1.23 is a lot more than that, A lot of the things he didn't display are for spoiler reasons most likely, I say wait for the patch.

Edit: Notice they don't say "New BGM is added" when they teased us with a new BGM track (Duet).. something isn't right here :p.

And 1.23 Patches are just as short as a lettered patch is... which rises my suspicions even further

[dev1458] Enemy placement has been adjusted in the following areas:

There is no loot for darnus though, unless fight wont exist until later on

Epic Conclusion.

Crafter specific armor?

yea, time to stack those ingredient >_<

Going to have to play to see I think. This is a content patch, should be fun. I wonder what the GC requirements will be...

With a lettered patch that is this short.. will just have to see the Download size to see if this patch notes is ALL there is to it... just by looking at whats coming from notes.. it seems it would be 100MB or lower.. any higher than that I know there's something more to it.

Yeah lol before they go up in price. I am glad they are craftable which means I will be able to actually get them. I hope the stats on them are good and meldable. Not a bad patch and we get notes early and ppl still /dissapointed. Go figure.

Well, they needed to categorize his battle somewhere, and given it probably works akin to Primal Battles (instanced arena, as much a huge boss as they are) it fits there.

If Nael becomes a primal, I will grin.

And my stack of HQ Rubellites and turquoises just got a little more valuable. :)

Um something's wrong....

Where are the yukatas?

Ar'nt they suppose to be in the "New Items" list?

Suspecting that list is incomplete or...yukatas will be added later.

I just think the best is in lettered patch. For now, i'll take Nael. After Nael, the "him" :E

The summer event isn't starting with this patch, they will probably be in one of the a/b/c patches instead.

Also I'm slightly curious about these new Caravan conditions. I mean I've been in groups where people have been so on top of things that I could hardly attack anything before it died. Hopefully the conditions to stay in won't be as strict.

Yeah, I wonder...

I hope this won't mean that now everyone but DoMs will get screwed in Caravans...

Is it the beginning of August yet? That's why I figure it'll be in 1.23 a or b, it fits the time window.

Here's to hoping QA have done their job properly. ;)

Patch feels a little underwhelming, but I will see what happens, probably some things not wanting to be spoiled.

This is just what I expected. Skirmish and Nael Van Darnus fight, mixed with some new items. I have a feeling we're not going to fight the "final" version of Nael this patch, by the way.

I just hope, hope, hope we'll see some of the "drastic changes" to the landscape. Pretty please SE!

So you dont think this new 1.23 patch will last 2 weeks or so before next one?
That's no proof, thats speculation.

You wanna prove it, do it now & not in 2 weeks.

Do you not know the history behind the lettered patches? They're always small patches that come out shortly after a large numbered patch. They are usually hotfixes and content they couldn't or didn't want to add with the large numbered patch.

Patch 1.20: Dec 12
Patch 1.20a: Dec 27
Patch 1.20b: Jan 19
Patch 1.20c: Jan 31
Patch 1.21: March 8
Patch 1.21a: March 26

I could go on but you get the point. Look at that, all of the lettered patches fall within 2-3 weeks of the larger numbered patch or the last lettered patch. The gap between the last lettered patch and the next large numbered patch is much larger. It's called a pattern from which you can infer information. We're getting a large lettered patch now and they've said the summer event starts in the beginning of August, which falls within 3 weeks of today.

3 Weeks from today is 7/18 at the latest which is mid-August lol

Yukatas are not really new. Just a redesign. Like all the various colors of the bikini. The Summer Event usually starts on the first or second Monday of August (6th or 13th). So 2-3 more weeks.
I don't see why people are dissappointed - There are so many new areas opened up. New weather. New mechanics. I wonder what will happen to the person in caravan doing the stopping. Stopping severely limits battle opportunities. The skirmishes are also a puzzle. We were told the skirmishes will be something you can just jump into... no complicated pre-skirmish stuff... but this new info makes it sound like skirmish will NOT be something you just jump into. Oh well, 12 more hours and we will see...

I did say within 3 weeks. I'm fully aware of when mid-August takes place, I simply gave them a wider time range because at most the patches have taken about 3 weeks. Optimistically it would fall within 2 weeks but the pattern shows that it's usually about 2-3 weeks. Obviously it's a rough estimation but the pattern has held true for the other patches.

This trend has broken. 1.22 lettered patches contained things like the lieutennant promotion and associated quests - major content. They were also a bit more spread out in the calendar.

What's with the frowny faces everyone? Did you really think they'd toss in lots of content in the conclusion patch? Wouldn't really make sense considering the servers will eventually go down to introduce 2.0. Which is slowly but surely getting quite close.

Also I'm guessing like many of you, that they left quite a few small things out for spoiler reasons.

I mean nothing about landscape changes. Yet mobs are being rearranged in every (and quite specific) zones? hmm...
S-E is not telling us everything...>_>

I'm mostly talking about the time frame. Also:

There has been content added in lettered patches that didn't make it into the larger numbered patch. I acknowledged that.

Alright, but that doesn't explain why the patch notes are almost equal in match of a lettered patch though. I predicted No Spoilers so they didn't put much in the patch notes because of it. But just telling us the name of certain quests doesn't give us spoilers at all though, yet if there more to this patch than meets the eye.. How come they didn't put it in the patch notes?

What does that have to do with the time frame of lettered patches or the summer event? I mean that's entirely plausible, it's also possible that they left some content out for a lettered patch in August or even September.

Well, I'm more concerned about the 1.23 main patch itself then a little summer event that's come 1-2 weeks from now. Even the 1.22 Main patch wasn't outbeat by a/b Lettered patched that were pretty big. I'm just worried is all.
