Predictions to 2.2

[Arlekiel]

Hi guys!
I was watching Mr. Happy's predictions about 2.2 and to be honest even tho I agree with him like in 90% of the stuff he said, I still think he left some things out !

So I wanted to give it a shot, and share with you what I think its comming into the next patch.

*note, some of the following information, has been already "confirmed" by Yoshi-P and some other stuff its mere speculation*


-Primal fight: Leviathan (already stated by him)
-Sahagin best tribe quests (he stated that "maelstorm" was an important Word for the next patch. Also (I dont remember exactly where) but he stated that each patch we were going to see more beast tribes quests. If he is bringing leviathan, its almost certain that the next beast tribe quests, has to be something with it. Therefore im guessing the Sahagin beast tribe.
-Salamander mount : each beast tribe, has a "mount" u get from their quests. The only animal big enough in that región would be the salamander
-Main scenario quests, revolving around the maelstorm: if leviathan is comming to the next patch, its probably going to be unlocked through some main scenario quest (as moggle King).
-More Coil turns and CT floors. Im not sure, but im almost positive I read somwhere about the coil turns, and somehow I can imagine he can do the same with CT, increasing the difficulty each floor.
-Player housing: im not sure if it was for 2.2 or later on, but maybe we can hope for finally getting player housing.
-PVP balance changes
-More PVP options like capture the flag.

Finally, he stated that the big word was Malestorm, and tbh im kinda hoping to see the "musketeer/corsair" job released on this patch. I mean their headquarters have been since 1.0 (beta) in lima lominsa, and it would add something for those legacy ppl to level up. I was even suprised he released the arcanist before the musketeer/corsair.


well those are my predictions ! what do you think?
Do you got any predictions on your own?

For those interested Mr.Happy uploaded a video with some predictions on his own:

not to mention we have a possible muskeeter or corsair job icon already... on the crest options.. at least i imagine that would be what the icon would look like... the crossed guns and stuff

JUST GIVE ME MUSKETEER ALREADY

My predictions:
Levi actual fight: Pre-req of having already cleared Pharros Sirrus and it's questline, followed by redoing cutter's cry, teleporting to a few places, getting stuck waiting on a FATE. Both hard and extreme modes available. iLVL85 weap from hard, ilvl95 accessories from extreme. Fight mechanics will include a debuff that traps users in bubbles and one where Levi traps one person in his maw.

New beastmen quests for sahagin and kobolds, pieste mount and some weird steampunk from kobolds. If devs are generous maybe they will add another 6 daily allowances to the total (prob not)

A new 5,000 commendation reward: Armored Gobuue

New storyline finishes up with hints about Shiva coming soon, but no actual fight yet.

House will be teased but pushed back til 2.3 to add chocobo raising which will itself be pushed back til 2.4

Coil 6~10 will be added with 10 being a fight against Bahamut's head floating around the arena while the few remaining enemies they haven't recycled from FFXII yet pop as adds with even more absurd fight mechanics. 6~9 drop ilvl95 gear 10 drop ilvl100 weaps or even better, drop the item needed to +2 relic into new graphic.

I also suspect we will see force popped versions of Odin & Behemoth in 2.2 if not 2.3, but they will additional add 2 or 3 new rare pop FATES with Chupon, and Gilgamesh among them.

Next Hildabrand chapter will hit, rewarding a minion of some sort.

Some confirmed stuff (don't have links atm)

• Turns 1-5 getting nerfed when new turns introduced.
• New CT raids will be in patch 2.3
• Two new 'Hard Mode' dungeons (perhaps Sastasha and Brayflox?)

Some of my own (wild) predictions:

• ~3 new mounts, ~5 new minions
• Further balancing for DRG, Small tweaks to WHM, BLM, MNK
• Reduction in the discount cap for FC housing pricing from 50% to 30%
• 30% Reduction in the # of philo mats required for Vanya/Darksteel/etc.
• 30% Reduction in Philo costs for Darklight gear.
• New iLvl80 crafted gear and weapons - CLASS exclusive (!)
• New gathering mats (for above gear)
• Introduction of new Class-only skills.

How about legacy players able to transfer to non legacy servers!! 6 months from the start of aar should be feb or April. Sooo SE let us transfer!

[jlewiss]

Well if there is levithan/ shiva then that almost means new hideous egi summons

[Arkista]

not to mention we have a possible muskeeter or corsair job icon already... on the crest options.. at least i imagine that would be what the icon would look like... the crossed guns and stuff

JUST GIVE ME MUSKETEER ALREADY

Don't look forward to this until the 1st Expansion. There is the guild in Limsa Already.

[Jubez187]

What I would like to see is: Patch 2.2, Released with PS4 FFXIV (or when the PS4 beta servers merge with the PS3/PC servers), new class Musketeer. Just looks good in the headlines: "PS4 FFXIV beta merges with existing servers, New Class Released."

[EdwinLi]

Don't look forward to this until the 1st Expansion. There is the guild in Limsa Already.

Actually i don't know when but it is highly likely that musketeer will be the 1 new class released before the first expansion since Yoshi-P has said he is going to release 1 new class before the first expansion.

We are only going to get a 2nd new class if we are lucky and Yoshi-P's time allows it.

Also, he did mention ...

GE- With ARR we’ll see Arcanist added with Summoner shortly after the game launches. Are there any other classes or jobs you’d like to see added? And will these be added in patches or expansions?

Yoshida- What I would like to see right?

First of all, we are planning a new race for an expansion pack. For the classes and jobs, we will introduce them through patches because all of the Legacy players have level 50 jobs anyway. When we introduce new classes and jobs we will probably increase the level cap at the same time.

About what I want to introduce- it’s more like what I think I have to introduce. Something related to guns because the (musketeer) guild in the game. Something related to that I think I have to introduce.

Also I do feel that scouting classes are lacking so I want to bring in Thief, Ninja and those that have to do with stealth. Also more casters like Blue Mage and Red Mage are something I would like to add.

Whatever the players want, I want too.

I agree with most things except for the mounts. The mounts tend be the signature mobs that are found in the beastmen strongholds. Thus, I would assume that Sahagins would use Efts and Kobolds would use Doblyns.
