Is 3.1 going to be big or not?

[Felis]

We always got 3 Hard Mode dungeons in patches 2.X's o.o

not 3 hard mode dungeons
1 new one and 2 hard modes (or "old dungeon continuation mode", like "what happened to that place after clearing it storywise?")

It all depends of the exploratory content. If it goes over like a lead balloon there will likely be problems had with 3.1. It doesn't sound like it will though.(actually sounds like a breath of fresh air for fc activities)

Grayed out thing called "The Diadem". Sounds like a story trial to me.

That's the exploratory mission.

Nor the materias V AGAIN ?

Assuming the Aetheral gear we're getting from the Airship content follows the same rules as the old and can be converted, we found where the more reliable source of that materia will be. Crafting/gathering ones are up in the air though for now.

Doesnt really appear to be all that big. The meat of the content is... new content. Good, they did their job, we pay them monthly to do this.

There should be a lot done about class balancing and ability adjustments. This is an area that needs just as much attention, yeah they need to bring out new content, the content patch is 90 days overdue in my opinion. On a subscription based game the worst thing you can do is wait almost 5 months for your first major patch.

Just an opinion. Id like to see the full patch notes ahead of time. They know if they do that they could lose subs. SE has a lot to learn.

It's going need to be big after the content draught. I feel like this is the worse time for SE to drop the ball for content, given the situation with lasting raid, crafting, gathering and just... content in genreal for your typical player.

There are some class adjustments last I recall anyway, in regards to PLD, NIN and a side mention to BRD/AST.

hmm... I guess exploratory missions are missing, but who chose the word "Diadem" for that? The "crown"? It sounded more to me like a trial. "The Chrysalis". "The Dragon's Neck". "The Navel". "The Diadem" sounds like a fight in throne room, or near a symbol of power.

Man, FFXIV has the weirdest sense of naming things. Bees named "vespas" in Neverreap... ok, it means "wasp" but I associate that more with the motor vehicle. But then a little later, jellyfish named "wasps". So two things named "wasp" in the same dungeon, one can kill you, the other is a freaking jellyfish.

Err, but there's an actual jellyfish called sea wasp... that's no helping it, they just try to keep the names different in each region.

Yeah, but you need to draw the line somewhere. We're going to end up with a wetland horse named Hippopotamus, because the word means "river horse" in some language or whatever. Or more likely, a dhalmel named "Kirin" to confuse with the Kirin mount.
