not saying they didn't, however when Shiva was asked about at the E3 Yoshi-P said Shiva's story would start with version 2.3 but would be a long story leading up to her

How would you rate patch 2.28? 1/10 - it would have better use of time to just get 2.3 out faster.
What do you like most about it? The only thing added new was the alex maps, which are fun.
What do you like least about it? Stated in an earlier interview that Novus wasn't supposed to revolve around myth/fates, and in 2.8 it does
Are there any changes you would like to have reverted? No Alex from fates
How is Novus treating you? what novus I have done over 300 fates and 0 alex while others have done 300 fates with 10+ alex... until this week I was farming 1.2k myth a day but it's the same things since patch 2.2(really 2.1 if the older dungeons dropped enough myth to be worth doing)

What are you looking forward to most in 2.3? CT for story, Hunts I am looking forward to a heck of a lot.
What do you think of the gear that is previewed? a cool looking glamour set if you are a fan of ff3; the gear they glanced in the videos but didn't really show off look really good though.
What are your thoughts on the trailer? Well built kudos to who put it together.
The hunts? What monsters would you like to see in future hunts? Super excited for this, loved it in 12, and 11.
How excited are you for CT2? Excited for the dungeon as it looks challenging and fun, but not excited for the rewards being targeted only for a select few players.
What about chocobo raising? Do you have plans to participate in it? Heck yes I raised a 7th generation in choco in 11 before they updated and made it easy.
Private rooms, do you want? Do you have any secret parties planned in your room? My personal preference(which doesn't matter) is for a private house, however I know many players will do amazing things with these rooms and I can't wait to see what they do so I am still excited for it.

2.4. Ninja. Rogue. Discuss. What about the Eternal Bonding system? Super excited hopefully it will help fix dungeon que time since on my server ranged dps have an average, average wait time of 15+min. while physical dps have an average, average wait time of less then 5 min. I know i'll being playing ninja at first.
Do you have any speculations as to what will be included in the patch? Looking forward to Shiva? looking forward to shiva, 2.4 will see more content then 2.2 and with the new systems being added in 2.3 it will be easier for them to add more content then it was in the past so 2.3 should really help future patches be much stronger in providing things to do. I'm excited for it.

nobody mentioned the best thing to happen with 2.28,.... "auto skip Cut-scene function"

Only thing I'm looking forward to is Ninja! I've been waiting on that class ever since I saw the fuma outfit in CT. Hopefully both Ramuh and Shiva are more challenging than Titan Ex, as I thought Leviathan and Mog Ex were a little easy compared to Titan Ex.

Hunts look like they can be fun, at least the Elite hunts. Though we will be able to acquire Sands,Oil, gear, and alexandrite from them, I fear the cost may be so that it takes what feels like forever for a single purchase, especially since elite hunts are only weekly. Based off of screenshots shown by SE, the daily hunts look like no type of challenge, so not too excited about the daily hunts.

I almost forgot; I'm especially excited to see changes to all the jobs in 2.3. How much stronger will BLM become in single-target? How much weaker will it become in AoE to balance out the single-target buff? What abilities will be getting changed? How will the other classes get rebalanced? Can't wait to see these changes!

I've just now got around to starting my Relic quest, so I have no opinion regarding Novus quite yet (other than being a decent way to farm up Grand Company seals, I guess). I do sympathize with people getting bad luck with RNG, sometimes I think maybe a very slight increase to the drop rate would help.

Once the patch comes out, I will probably try everything out that I can (I'm not quite as caught up as others yet, even in my own FC). I liked what I saw in the trailer, mentally commented how the environments in Syrcus (CT2) looked. I'm interested in the introduction of Ramuh and Shiva, and, of course, more Hildebrand (even though I didn't like him at first). I will certainly try out chocobo raising, unless they've put it behind some form of gating (meaning requiring level 10). I'll check out private rooms if it doesn't cost too much.

I'm looking forward to trying out Rogue/Ninja. Eternal bonding doesn't interest me at all, even from a role-playing perspective.

2.3 still waiting for ramuh OST which is so AWESOME to the max!

**FireHero** · 06-30-2014 04:02 AM

Well I will start of buy saying during E3 they said Shiva will not be in 2.4. So question is what side primal will be brought in for 2.4 that they have not showed us yet since there game plan is 1 new primal every patch (well maybe not primal but trial).

2.28 everything was a well added upgrade apart from the removal of being able to repair OTHER players gear! As everyone in my FC only currently focus on mastering 1 craft its still a bit of a pain at least I can pimp my axe with good repairs on blacksmith, Never mind my Ifrit axe i use for fun is goldsmith.

2.3 So far so good but whats the plans with the zodiac weapon as the saga is meant to go further in 2.3, Things I would like to know is what is the gear level of the gear given from daily hunts as its planned for ilvl 90 players to start with. When will the tome for weapon drop from CT is it day 1 or a few weeks in? Will we get to Ishgard we are now getting teased with it so it might only be story related for this patch, So its were to start first when 2.3 comes out. Chocobo Raising will be fun we already have dedicated FC members to help rank up every ones birds to the max!

2.4 All we know is the new class and job but will we see a second job of rouge from the start? Am hoping so cause I don't fancy doing DF and just have a party of 5 ninjas in my CT group. As I said early I wonder what primal will show up here?
