what was that

[Nomski]

Aside from the new class/job which is great, the rest is responses to topics already asked on the forum which could have been answered here.They should have shared a bit more unique information, stuff we aren't aware of and asking about.

The constant cycle of Coil/Crystal Tower isn't going to be the only "endgame" we will get till after the expansion, right? From the answers we got, it appears that 8 man content is for Coil only, which is pretty crappy, 4 player dungeons with no real drive to do them unless you want tomes, and to be honest you'd be better off just waiting a patch, because capping weekly or trying to gear up is just a waste of your time. It'll be handed out later with half the effort. Ability/Action stats on weapons/gear aren't even considered, so it's vertical progression for gear (Coil/Tomes), no working towards custom gear builds.

To anyone who thinks it's an MMO, it is going to have grind, I agree grind can be good, it's just done bad when you are a player that is playing more than 1 hour a day where all your effort is meaningless every patch.

At least it wasn't as bad as last years E3 English LL.

OH GOD, NO THIEF /cry

Rogue IS Thief. What don't you get about that? Just because it has a different name doesn't make it a different job.

If it's that much of a "problem" for you, maybe you should go move in with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.

What people seem disappointed with is that Thief itself wasn't a job and only a class. Tbh I never really saw the difference between Rogue and Thief. Ninja is a hybrid of sorts and much stronger in ARR by the looks of it already, though every class/job has worked differently in the past in their own way. There are some who would disagree though. In my opinion, we know too little about the job/class to judge it yet.

This^ Its not that we don't understand that the name basically means same thing, its that it is just the class, which after level 30 is never used again.

actually they revealed a lot, talked about the new upcoming zones and what they "might" be a little bit. talked about shiva story starting and going on for some time to develop the story before you fight her, talked about where they want the relic weapons to end up, concept art of crafting airships and how they plan on implementing it, talked about brutal mode for the "elite" players, brought up the wanted thing. this is just some stuff I remember while running a dungeon lol but overall there seemed quite a bit of info revealed within each of the "trivial" questions.

I actually enjoyed the live letter. I'm excited about the new emotes, workshops, HUD updates, class/job etc. I would have liked to hear about musketeer, but I'm still holding hope for the Japanese live letter Thursday. I'm surprised that some people were expecting so much about 3.0 as I'm not expecting the expansion until September 2015. This version isn't even a year old yet. The fanfest sounds like it will be fun, I'm miffed I won't be able to attend.

Spreedlevel Rogue to Ninja. Never play Rogue again!

Was more than a little bemused at the questions. They are probably veto-ed from answering any of the "big ones" on content that's due to change before release (Golden Saucer, chocobo raising etc.) but I felt they could have given us more. Grateful to have a live letter in English though.

On the contrary, not pleased to hear of more exclusive in-game items restricted to event attendees. Didn't understand the barely-contained excitement on that reveal. Not everyone can afford to get the limited-release FanFest tickets and a whole bunch of us are nowhere near one of the events, but we love this game equally. Much better for everyone to have limited-time items like the cactuar and bomb earrings.

But honestly, that /hug emote question was cringeworthy...All that could have been asked and we got that. I think it was a wasted opportunity, but like others have said, there's Thursday to come. Just have to wait and see what happens there, and hope it'll be some exciting new content.

It's just -part- of what they plan to reveal.

As for the exclusive in game items, it's likely just minions/fluff stuff (similar to the wind up bahamut you got if you buy the soundtrack). Also, the cactaur and bomb earrings were special prizes for beating a specific raid/fight if I recall, not limited time.

They were added for the realms that had people beat the special Titan HM at the Japan event, last year. Every realm succeeded and every realm got both earrings, however you cannot get them now. They took the NPC away that sold them. Lasted about a month.
