So, if our chocobo's colour changes depending on what we feed it, that means there's only 6 colours we can choose from? ): Unless it's something like the colour will change again by feeding multiple foods, like something that makes it blue and red will then make it purple.

I'm really happy with the hunt changes. Those who like hunts as they are and getting their stuff quick haven't been screwed over, those of us who wanted to take part in it but don't want to join hunt parties can now (if I havent messed up my math, which is likely since Im sick) get 274 seals a week through hunt bills.

Im also happy the Lightning and Snow gear can be dyed. It's unique looking gear that lost it's...uniqueness, when everyone's looked the same. I avoid Lightning coat because since I use the hair and in pink I dont wanna look like I'm cosplaying Lightning (I was using the over the shoulder hairstyle in XI recoloured pink, Dijana was rocking this hairstyle long before Lightning came along ):< )

I just came back about a week ago after leaving for 5 months, I also agree that we should get a room or something like the roost that we can decorate, On another note I hear there is new mounts but how do we get them? via in game or by cash?

Going through the airship section made me want to go to the bathroom >.>

"bladder, double bladder, triple decker bladder, interior power bladder, decked sparkly bladder"

If we can actually have our own phased progression on the airship (or I guess as a server).. I'd be quite impressed. Nice to see crafters get some content~

I'm not a fan of how preformed alliances were implemented. From how it sounds, you can't enter as a partial group. You gotta go all or nothing.

I like the idea of the spiritbonding change but I feel like it needs better fine-tuning.

The example they gave stated that a level 49 ring would get reduced spiritbonding in LotA and Pharos. Correct me if I'm wrong, but both of these dungeons are "entry-level" dungeons when it comes to level 50 content (iirc their IL requirements are at 50 or pretty close to it). So why exactly is a level 49 ring deemed inappropriate gear for these dungeons? It sounds pretty close to being level appropriate to me. This is something they need to ease up on, I think, if that example is reflective of how the system works across the board. Sure, they might not be able to get in if all their gear was IL 49 and the dungeon required IL 50, but I thought that was why character IL was an average and not just "the lowest IL of all the gear you have equipped"; something that's a little bit under can be made up for via other slots.

I think another idea they should have considered would be to not gimp spiritbonding rates if it's a full premade group (which, due to the new addition of premade alliances, can also be applied to LotA/ST which are notorious for having blatant spiritbonders). The game obviously discerns between instances with parties that are premade and parties that have used the DF (you can replace people who leave in a DF party; you can't do so with people who leave a premade), and people shouldn't be punished for spiritbonding if that's specifically what they made the group for.

Lightning can dye the miqo'te outfit in FFXIII, only makes sense if we can dye Lightning's outfit in FFXIV

What I understand: there are two kind of daily quests from Ixal, the usual daily quests and one delivery quest.

In addition to normal daily quests, players can also undertake delivery quests from the Ixal tribe. Three normal daily quests and one delivery quest will be available for each reputation rank every day (Earth time).

The usual daily quests will involve crafting items, to craft items you don't need to be a DoH (either that or the requirement is lvl 1) and the items crafted wont be regular items, you will craft airship parts. So anyone, even non-crafters will be able to reach max rank with Ixal.

The delivery quest is a side optional system, it seems to work like GC supply missions, but instead of turning in one item you have to turn in several until you reach a quota, it doesn't mention anything about gaining reputation, so it seems to be just extra DoH exp, just like GC supply.

That's only a problem if you want to enter as two parties, the system will let you enter as one or three parties.

Do you really want an entire alliance wearing i45-49 stuff in ST? Honestly, I think this is a needed change.

I don't get why people don't just go spiritbond in the open world. It's easy and nobody has to carry you.
