So, bad news: the Exarch appears to be dying.

Good news: We get a gundam.

Thoughts?



(Seriously, how is there not already a thread for this here? Get hype, people!)

Due to a restricted schedule right now I'm too busy to stay caught up. . so I'm still have stuff to do from this content cycle lol, but the LL(s) and trailer for 5.3 has me pretty happy. I appreciate they've tried to improve on some concepts for Eureka and also include relief options if it's just not your 'thing', might be some new potential pitfalls but we'll see. Loads of things coming, for all sorts of players- undoubtedly i'll find something interesting to do .

Besides that one thing that isn't even really a 5.0 thing, released in 4.5 . . . >.> */tosses azul colored salt around like a child*, the whole ShB thing has been a pretty buttery smooth experience to me. It helps for some of the stuff I can't really do it as I need to anyways, like Ishgard FATE was never a problem because I was never on when it was on anyways lol, but it's been nice so far (besides I technically did get a whole zone to myself with the Pixie, and the elemental stuff lol). So long as they keep improving, adjusting, and trying new things- cool cool, fun game, nice job to the team . 'Fighting!'

Still hoping for some size-able, very present and personal (not just UI or one off MSQ like stuff), chocobo or airship content, maybe some day, maybe another FF mmo, but I dream of recapturing the classic FF airship vibe and progression of transportation, stuff that sort of culminated in FFIX (but were always present in pieces of the other FFs). Something about travel is fun sometimes, like I enjoyed driving around in FFXV just because I could lol.

Anyway back onto patch one thing that I was shocked by was the huge change to the trial edition, all the way up to stormblood- that is A LOT of content for free. Pretty easy to get people to try the game now. Hopefully with the new sand tickets for easy returning, reduced fetching, and streamlined quests that the ARR experience is going to be really tight- I might give it a try again sometime just because. I still believe they could do something really cute at the end of an expansion, right before the next one, where they give some sort of bonus item for doing the story content again (like a free fantasia, or some other item, could be mogshop, or perhaps if they add in a cosmetic merit system giving the exp from the MSQ into their merit board, making it a viable way to get some exp at least once).

That track that starts about halfway through (guessing it's for the next Weapon trial?) is amazing. I'm on the hype train now. It's also nice to see that the Nier raids might be going their own way with the story so it might not be a copy/continuation of Automata itself. And Gundams? Yes please. Everything about this trailer was great and I can't wait.

I'm so excited for this.
And with the free trial stretching through Heavensward I'm gonna be getting more of my friends into this game~

It looks like Elidibus does shenanigans and causes chaos throughout Norvrandt, and that's the dungeon.

I think you mean the best news since ShB dropped.

It's a rock remix of the Tempest theme, so its probs for our Final Trial .

If the exarch dies, its sad but I can finally have his cool looking staff.
