This is how you should all play after 1.19, we put together this crack team of players to demonstrate how everyone will be playing FFXIV from now on!!

    Oh and this is also our secret way of announcing that everyone will have at least 2,000 HP from here on out."

    So until we get the patch notes or the patch I don't think this is confirmation of anything. They could have upped HP because they wanted to control when people died (and maybe the people were dieing to early), they had the group die in the video (like in the Darkhold preview) because they generally save the ending for the players.
    They dont need to say it, that is just what happens, its happened in them all, they didnt amp the HP/MP in all their previous videos, why would this be any different. People do take notice of this, it would be a stupid move of SE to fool us especially when that exact feature (Stats) is the biggest update to the game thats been required in a long time. It would be one big troll.

    Stop being in denial.

    It doesn't matter to me whether we get an HP increase or not unless encounters are not balanced for it, and it trivializes content.

    My comment was more directed at your take on the "new slower/unresponsive 1.19 battle system" which you pulled completely out of the blue simply because that archer wasn't doing much during the fight.

    Pulled out the blue? First I am not the person you originally quoted, so you wasnt talking directly at me I chimed in to his defence and even yours. Yes; the archer wasnt doing much in second half but in first half he was doing fine but got unlucky. So dont say he isnt doing anything when hes spamming buffs but loses target due to ifrits teleport move.

    The fight is slow, that has absolute nothing to do with spamming its the fact you have to wait for all these cooldowns and cant do much but auto atk. Where as ifrit is having time of his life with infinite skills no cooldown just flying all over.

    That's right. If SE didn't want us to see it, they could've hid the UI.

    We've already seen from what they told us about the leaked Famitsu cover that they secretly enjoy watching us argue about this stuff. ^_^
