looking beyond 1.20...

[Rydin]

Big summer here for FFXIV. We are all excited..
I, for one, am enjoying the game very much. The dungeons are really cool and Batraal is one fun fight...

1.19, as far as I know (And I am going from memory on this one) should include

Battle adjustments to compliment 1.18's battle redesign.
Including: Active/passive animations, changes to attack animations, possibly new weaponskill animations. Class balancing (that will probably always be ongoing for the entire run of the game)

Beast strongholds to accompany beast encampments

Chocobos and airships

Complete reworking of recipes (those are Yoshi P's words from letter XII)

Company quests that extend past "recruit" status

Iffrit battle which could possibly be a part of new main scenario quests (fingers crossed)

There are more tasks that will come but we haven't been told (as far as I know) whether they will be 1.19 (end of August) or 1.20 (Shooting for end of September)


Removal of physical level (I wanna say this was slated for 1.19, can anyone confirm?)

Redistribution of MOBs and diversification of MOB types. the main goal, from what I saw, is to accommodate party based leveling camps. It was also said that they wanted to redistribute more beast MOBs all over Eorzea but that could have been referring to the encampments... Who knows.

Materia? (Confirmation needed but I swore I heard this was coming with the recipe rework... could definitely be wrong though)

Stealth added to DoL classes

Obviously new quests... balancing and tweaking classes.. possibly new gear when you company quests become available

Jobs.... I remember seeing jobs promised AFTER 1.20 but a buddy of mine was saying they were promised IN 1.20

Lastly.. the UI tweaks are always ongoing, claiming multiple MOBs... more linked MOB groups

Thats what I know for sure will be coming soon.... (except Jobs which I am unsure about)
this thread has 2 purposes though...

1. to lay out what is coming in 1 place and if at all possible, when it will be here

2. To find out what is most important to US as players once all of this is done

So many topics have been responded to with "We will handle that once the battle system is overhauled" or "We have bigger priorities right now"
Well that time is rapidly approaching
Keeping in mind that content like dungeons, NMs and new quests will always be a high priority and will ALWAYS be in development...
What do you see happening next? What do you want to happen next?
