The Heavensward Site Has Been Updated!

Gonna be another one joining the Xeala clan. I mean the lighter tones of the Raen are cool and all, but I gotta go with the warring clan >_>;;

Plus... those horns look so much cooler.

[Mugiawara]

Why would I want to know about everything before it comes out? I already know I want the expansion. I wanna learn about all those job skills, quests, items, whatever, by actually....I don't know...playing the game? Crazy I know.

I just think the gap between contents are pretty large, recently we just completed the story line and all, so this wasn't a too big of a patch. :/
The last big fun thing was GS which still has people actively TTing and stuff. I personally do want more info and all so we have more to speculate and talk about.
Every good info we get has us busy for a while....at least on the forums. The Au'ra info makes me happy! I like the Raen...<3 I'm surprised they're more enclosed than the Xaela
which I thought they would be...I may even RP as an Au'ra.~ I just dont' like the scales on the other clan sadly but who knows? I'll see soon.
Wish they release benchmark. ; ;

As for Job's...I agree with LovesCake, more information is slapped on DRK than any other. I want my AST/MAC love please...
But thanks SE for the new fun info!

I'm currently happy with my furry ears and tail, but if I had to go Au ra, then I'd more than likely go Xaela. Maybe the benchmark will sway both me and others once we get to have a play around with it.

Dark Knight's Lore sounds pretty interesting



Looks like we'll be slicing and dicing some corrupt Popes and Templars when HW hits

[Shiro-Koizumi]

I for one actually Love the lore for Dark knight...It's seems more based after their etymology rather than the "I pee darkness" vibe everyone expected XD

[Raminax]

i love the new info but theres one thing its missing
Naming conventions ;A;

From the Live Letter Summary thread:

Q1: Could you please tell us the naming conventions for the Au Ra?

A1: There are two clans: Au Ra Raen and Au Ra Xaela. Au Ra Raen have been closely related to the Domans for long time, so their names are somewhat Japanese-like. The Xaela on the other hand have led a nomadic lifestyle for some time, and they have a unique naming convention.

Sadly, we're still in the dark regarding Xaela naming conventions, as far as I know. Unique could mean anything!

it's still not the full naming conventions D: my friend Burgenhiem chose that name for his roe because at first in 1.0 the they were told it was germanic so he made the name and that was before they showed the roegadyn dictionary, D: so i am waiting for a full thread of naming conventions for both tribes D:

Not relevant. It doesn't matter what other MMOs do.

Yes, it does. There's this thing called "industry standards."
One of the things you absolutely do NOT want to do when developing a game, and something that's been cropping up lately in regards to some AAA titles is get nailed by your audience for advertising a feature that doesn't appear in game.
FFXIV itself has gotten this regarding housing.
Thus, they will NOT release precise details such as spell list, ability lists, etc. until they are ABSOLUTELY sure they're going to be in game.
Lore? Lore is easy. They can throw lore at us and just did.
Precise details about the expansion will not be forthcoming until the expansion is ready to go. We don't even get preliminary patch notes for big content updates until the weekend before it hits!
Hell we didn't even have the rogue job abilities before then. Why the hell should we expect details 2 months before the expansion launches?
What we know:
All content will be "locked" behind the MSQ up to 2.55
9 new zones, each bigger than the ones we currently have
3 new jobs
1 new race
2 new primals and beast tribes
Flying mounts
No new housing until 3.2 or later.
1 new raid with 2 different modes coming 2 weeks after launch for normal, and another 2 weeks for hard.
DX11 client
Level cap increase
Specializations for crafting
New equipment, including new class-specific gear
20 new TT cards.
New job abilities, with combat classes getting theirs starting at 52
A new system for acquiring crafting gear.
And probably some things I'm forgetting.

Basically, we've receive quite a bit of information, and the SPECIFIC information will come later.
What you're asking for is akin to asking about what you're getting for Christmas as well as the detailed logistics of your family's annual get together in October.

ya i just dislike the light looking scale the black one just look way cooler sucks that i have to go xeala. I really want Raen but with dark scale ; ; i guess it can't be help if that how it going to be.

[Shougun]

Was kind of hoping Raubahn will be part of the Dark Knights since his uh.. his transformation. Angry and all Guts like. I suppose there is still a chance he'll be part of that posse at some point.

Was nice to look through all the information (pictures) again - would like to see a map of a zone though (maybe like they did in 1.0 to 2.0 with cute little POI labels)... :P
