Patch 3.2 Trailer is Up

[Chichicha]

I don't read all here, but honestly, 3.2 trailer doesn't look interesting to me at all...

Only thing surprised me - the 6 dolls combined to one huge one - this is from FF4 ? (Surprised, not interested at all)
Nothing from 3.2 is really going to last for another 3 months till 3.3...

I guess after main story quest, I'll be doing daily when I feel like to... (Not daily login anymore as in now)

When I see people comparing FF11 , I missed the 18/ 36 or even more alliance to do something.

Old time - Dynamis over 40 people do kill the bosses in these areas.
Few years ago - New VNM killing, still required 18 people for proc and etc.

We don't see people shouting to gather these many people to make some NM's fight in FF14.

We only have Hunt - yea, many people, joined for one fight, rushed to kill and disband.

The culture of the game in FF11 and FF14 is completely different.

It was also interesting, socially. We had a mixture of NA/JP players becauseo f how the servers worked.

Sure, you had some people that would put "JP/NA Onry." (the onry never changed, gotta make dem JP's I guess) but you also had times where half our party was Japanese, half our party was NA. It was interesting to see people come together; it helped make me a bit more open as a child to other cultures (in my opinion) because I found it interesting. I learned a lot from Japanese and NA interactions.

Not that 3.2 isn't lackluster (from a PvE standpoint), but;

Alexander: Midas and Allagan Tomestones of Lore will last 6 months till 3.4.
Mentors, Hall of the Novice, and Stone, Sky, Sea, while not for everyone (mostly aimed at new players), have purpose for the rest of the games life. They're as "big" as something like Linkshells. New players will always need help, and Stone, Sky, Sea can constantly be updated as new content is introduced.
The Feast, along with PvP Leaderboards and Seasons, are also likely to last a nice long time, granted PvP isn't for everyone.

Outside quests, dungeons and Sephirot are the only things that'll be replaced come 3.3, although with Sephirot, I wouldn't be surprised in 3.4 adds a Primal Focus style quest for beating the Warring Triad each week.

New tome gears will last 6 months until 3.4

During 1.x, where we played mixed with the JP playerbase on servers in Tokyo, NA and EU players complained about latency (especially in primal fights like Ifrit).

To all the people complaining about everything in this game why the hell do you still play it? If you feel as unhappy as you say then just quit and play something you think is better.

Yea, FFXIV is definitely more latency-intensive than FFXI was (well, at least from when I played it) so I could see that being a general issue. Still, I miss playing with JP players. There was social differences. There was good genuine connections between some of us. There was nationalism. You took the good with the bad, but the good outweighed the bad. I always loved playing with them, because of the differences.

I might be in the minority on that though. I played a Bard - one of the classes notoriously sought after. JP players would likely avoid you if they could when they ran that "JP ONry" bit. But I wound up in so many "JP onry" parties because of my bard and reputation as a good bard.

I might be in the minority on that though.

You probably are but I'm with you on it. I liked that FFXI servers were "melting pots." I made a lot of friends from different countries and the like and I always enjoyed that. Plus, it meant more opportunities to use the Auto-Translate Dictionary, which is still one of my favorite features in either game.

Haven't you heard the saying those that complain the most care the most because they want something to change and continue playing? I still play this game and there is quite a few things that annoy me which I want them to fix it does make me unhappy but i stay hoping they change it and generally they do after some time. If people don't complain the devs will never know aspects of the game which are wrong and they think its perfect.

I wouldn't call it "high quality" by any means, but;



Edit, went back and tried to get a little better one, hope it helps;

It's Ravana, why can't anyone else realize this? DRK will have Ravana, warrior will probably be stuck with titan. Paladin might even be king thordan.. but that's wishful thinking.
