Yoshida on Patch 3.2 Content - Famitsu Translation

Esoterics gear will still be worth it since you can upgrade it to i210, anyway.

Oh herp! I didn't even think about that. LOL!

i200 is about as high as they would go, I think, though I think i195 is also likely. The part of me that loves structure is going to be forever annoyed that we went from i160 dungeon gear to i185 dungeon gear and now to either i195 or i200 dungeon gear though. The stages aren't equal and it's going to eat away at me. ;_;

Just guessing but...
?
*New Dungeons: i190-195 (dungeon drops are fond of odd number ilvls lately. It's not going to be higher than Void Ark I'd imagine.)
*Midas Normal: i215 (im not sure on this one but I'm sure they'd want it be worth going so it's got to be higher than current savage 1-4, if not much)
*New crafted: i210 (crafted in the past made you decide between using tomes to buy mats to craft with or just straight up buying almost as good gear with crafted being many many times more the cost to attempt to make one... and it not being much of a difference. All that said, with a unlocked alexander 1-4 and echo, I imagine the upgrade dips and coats will get easier to obtain even without void ark.)
*Eikonic "weathered" i220 (we don't think we'd get away without having to upgrade these do we?)
*Midas savage and upgraded eikonic: i230 It could be higher, but I'm saying it's safely this or higher.

Sephirot EX has gear too (possibly weapon only), probably 5 below Midas Savage (whatever that ends up being) like how Thordan is now. It's a separate trial from the dungeon.

[Ashelia_Ferron]

Does the normal Sephirot trial have gear?

Historically the "normal" versions of Primals didn't really give gear since they were tied to main scenario but since this is treated as a separate thing, think we'll see like accessories or something?

Sephirot's weapon will most likely be i210 or i215. The first EX primal of a raid tier normally provides a "catch up" weapon that people can use to get started on the new raid if they didn't do the last one.

The Primal in 3.3 will likely give an item that's 10 item levels or so below the Midas Savage weapon.

I know 3.2 is just about to come out, but I also am not familiar with the patch cycle for this game yet. How many months will it be (ballpark guess) until 3.3? I'm excited for some changes that Yoshi-P mentioned for 3.3 and was just curious when it is likely to come about.

Usually 3 months between patches. Usually.

As long as they're back on normal schedule, it'll be about 3.5 months, give or take a week or so.

I'm not even a tank and this feels like a slap in the face. So essentially they switched strength to vitality so tanks have to have more hp AND less DPS? So they are pretty much telling tanks that they can't DPS anymore because they weren't supposed to in the first place? ... Wow. o_o

I'm not sure how you made these connections? Please explain. Tanks are going to be able to use their primary stat now for damage, it's win win.
