Thread: The Crystal Tower. What can we expect?

So a few days ago the devs posted Letter from the Producer LIVE at TGS (Day 1) as can be viewed here: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...9cb7a43a2f00b2

In it at about 20 minutes in they talk about the Crystal Tower and what items can be obtained in there.

Q. Tell us about the drops and rewards for clearing it.
A. If you have a FFIII strategy guide handy, you may want to look at the strongest items you can find there.

Well I happen to have such a guide handy and here is what is obtained in that dungeon.

Crystal Helm/Shield/Gloves
Shuriken
Fuma Garb
Elven Bow

So my thought is that this seems to indicate that if these are the rewards for this place, does that mean it will only appeal to tanks and dps? What are your thoughts for mages? And am reading into it to much when it says Shuriken? New class maybe?

I doubt that will be all, really. They never said that only those items would drop nor that they wouldn't include original items or take some liberties with the drops. Also, maybe they'll include equipment from Eureka?

Ninja would be awesome .. but its to soon.

Ninja and Samaria have already been confirmed for under development.

Eureka gave us Excalibur and Masamune. Masamune again seems to point to a new class.

Hopefully another way to get mythstones.

He was referring to Fuma gear. We've already seen the concept art for it in previous live letters.
