6.3 Live Letter

Well how will we know what to be hyped for if we don't see it?

Uh..because they appropriately show them now...?

I think its to possibly prevent leaked images or some stuff. Kinda endearing at this point but still weirdly odd of them

Has the patch power point ever leaked? As far as I can remember, the only real leaks the game has ever had were the SHB expansion ones.



The new raid looks gorgeous which makes the gear a bit underwhelming in comparison. They're pretty...but a few of the glams look very similar to stuff we already have. What I presume are the casting/healing sets look particularly boring. "divinity" is such a broad source inspiration, I was hoping we'd get more varied silhouettes across the different tiers :c

Patch 6.3 looks fantastic. The new drops and rewards are excellent and the raid looks fantastic. Many new surprises here like mounts and the new UI. Sadly, many players don't care much for glam anymore or even the content. Casual content usually dies out after two weeks to a month, and who needs glam when you can install mods? I don't think 6.3 will help save the fact that many want FFXIV to be more like Second Life, not WoW. And it's a bit sad to see Yoshida and his crew working hard on this content when most players in NA won't finish the Deep Dungeon, or play the alliance raid after the first month. The work put into this game is under-appreciated by many fans, who'd rather play other games instead (and consider that a virtue).

Do players really think this now? What has gone on in the past few months that I've been away?!

Some good complaints although mostly masked behind whining

No, I would actually love to be wrong here. Problem is, I know I won't be. North American players seem to show much less interest in patch content than JP. Their party finders are much more active with raids and other content months after 6.2, which was a pretty beefy patch season. Ours is pretty middling in comparison, even Aether. I hope the NA community can shift gears and appreciate our content more, because 6.3 looks like a good patch.

I really pray that isnt the only hurr this patch now that hroth and viera are getting every new style. Like wow...another really ugly short style that shows off our 5heads.
If you check the 144p print outs a male viera is wearing the Roxas style so thats 1 new-old hair added for viera. Praying they slap vieras 6.1 and 6.2 updates onto hrothgar in 6.3 so we can get 2 of the three bozja hairstyles (early and bothways) as well as Rainmaker.

Wait, are the tiny bunnies opening a nightclub?

I guess one will be erpingway

I know complaining about this has no use whatsoever but why can't they for once design a good looking maiming set. Always pseudo tank design.

Beach'ish glam again? That better not be genderlocked when it's live.

It isn't genderlocked, when they showed the map glam they said "it isn't gender-locked like the other set we showed earlier", meaning the "whoops not pvp set". Get your banana hammock on with tiddies out in style.
