Eureka: What we know and what we want to know

[Galgarion]

I'm excited. Death = Deleveling of items will provide a feeling of unease and danger that I miss from the old days of mmo's. Plus the complaint threads that idiots will make whining about being punished for bad decision making will be a hoot.

I’m excited for a sense of danger...but I regret to say my initial reaction to the Eureka info from the live letter is apathy and disappointment. Based on what they showed Eureka is a monster grind with an elemental leveling system to it and the occasional powerful monster. Sounds like Diadem 3.0. After all the delays I was hoping for something more meaty, something new. Even the gear rewards are just recolored AF or reused designs from FFXI. I’ll reserve final judgement until I can play it, but right now I’m really let down.

FFXI fans love the fact that they can wear the symbolic gear again in XIV. I don't see how that's bad. I've also been waiting to dye my RDM AF >.>; so I'm excited. I mean yeah, a new design for relic gear would've been nice but realistically they wouldn't have had the time with how big this past patch was. Maybe they'll add it as time goes by as part of Eureka, who knows.

I hope they add the Dalmatica, Vermillion Cloak, Haubergeon, Noble's Tunic. Yingyang robe for SMN... the list goes on <3

Not a bad thing, but uninspired. When he heard we’d have Stormblood relic weapons and gear from Eureka I was expecting a unique design and not an old one with the dye switch turned on. I’m happy to get dyeable AF and classic FFXI gear (FFXI veteran myself, I rocked the Haubergeon!) but I would have liked something more. Hopefully what we saw was just a sample and they’ve got a wide range of stuff that they want us to discover for ourselves.

need to include Duelist artifact set for RDM if it's not already here. Maybe the mythic set but give that RDM hat a refresh effect. Would yinyang be SMN only? How would yinyang robe work for drops? Would it be off a 20 hr spawn time NM that only arggos to magic? How would you get the gear anyway.

This! I love that throw back <3

I love that we already seen Genbu and Byakko (granted not same as teenage me used to face them in ru'aun gardens) but non the less i'm really excited about the XI gear and meeting Seiryu and Suzako next in XIV. Too bad they already used Kirin as a mount.
