Preliminary notes live

[Nalien]

Disappointed with the Ifrit-Egi changes, Crimson Cyclone really could do with being a dash forward attack, like Shoulder Tackle. Means he doesn't have to float over as slow as possible to start DPSing, and they could remove the annoying Stun effect as well. Ifrit-Egi Stunning when no set to Obey is 99% of the reason I don't use him... Garuda-Egi got the biggest buff IMO, with Aerial Slash now being instant... Oh, and no mention of fixing Ifrit-Egis auto-attack delay, or did they fix that in an earlier patch?

Also, did anyone else notice the name changes for a large selection of Gladiator weapons? Looks like they're removing Daggers from the Class in preparation for 2.4, they've all been changed to Bastard Swords and I'd hope their model actually matches (a Dagger called a Bastard Sword would be...), and Gladius Swords have been changed to Viking Swords... Foreshadowing a new Job off Gladiator? Since "* No changes have been made to item parameters or recipes.", I doubt Bastard Swords are going to be two handed though, so maybe not. Really hopeful for any Bastard Sword models, since I generally hate the majority of swords in the game currently...

[Enkidoh]

Yeah I saw that too - I presume it's in preparation for the introduction of RGE and NIN in 2.4. Still, the removal of gladius type swords seems a bit... well.. odd... given the fact the actual Latin word 'gladius' is the root source for the actual word 'Gladiator'! Ah well, I was expecting it anyway, as it was something Yoshi hinted at a long time ago (removal of knives/daggers from GLA for use by RGE).

I don't even know what's the lv55 ring and necklace can do. Probably going to jack the price up...

Soooo... when are we getting actual male hairstyles?

You'd think someone with "So cute❤" in their signature wouldn't have a problem with it.

Wondering where we get the new i95 weapons? They seem primal themed so I wonder if they've been added to the EX fights.

You enhance regular weapons through crafting.

I am still hoping for all the glasses we saw in a live letter a little while back.

[Genjuro]

Those are the augmented Primal Weps. You get those demimateria items from desynthing a wep it would seem and you can then use it to augment another wep to i95 (they're the glowy ones). Those are GLD's weps btw so the augmented Titan shield is farther down the item list.

Does that mean "Unlike regular relic armor, augmented artifact armor can be dyed any color of your choice." AF can be augmented as well? Because that statement indicated that only augmented items can be dyed.

That's pretty much it.
They couldn't just slap on the 'dyable' switch... for whatever reason they needed a new item to be dyeable to be the AF.

And that's why changes to items and crafting or gathering are not usually released until right before the patch goes live.
