The Japanese name for the minion was "Mammet Dragonet," which will likely be localized as "Wind-Up Dragonet." The model looked to be based on Dragoons' pet baby wyverns from Final Fantasy XI, but Kal Myhk does look similar.

I think we are going to get it from the Moogle Beast Tribe vendor or from the 3.3 MSQ. Personaly, I think its from the Moogles.

Question about the upgraded PS4 graphics, will it be just the shiny floors or will there be other things enhanced?

So... who decided it would be a good idea to put randomness in progression for Aquapolis? I imagine it's gonna feel really bad to hit that 20% on a dragonskin map only to pick the wrong door early on. I didn't like that random door nonsense way back in Renegade, I don't understand why it's here now other than an homage to how difficult it was to progress in Deep Dungeon?

Because it's supposed to be a fun thing to do, something that gives a bit more incentive for players to run the dragonskin maps, aside from relic items or rare vanity materials from the chest? Getting to the 7th floor is comparable to getting lucky with the rewards from the treasure chest.
If they were to give players a 100% chance to reach the last floor, they'd have the reduce the rewards, else those rewards wouldn't be as valuable. (the items in the live letter looked like red scrip materials, with Yoshi stating that the last floor would have grade V materia)
It's also unrelated to the Palace of the Dead (Deep Dungeon) as that's a 3.35 feature, not 3.3.

Is this your first time playing a Final Fantasy? >w>

Cant tell if sandals or boots for the nin va set

GC restriction not removed from frontlines, that's a fail.

Relic, I already like the secondary stats I have. It'll be a rather pointless grind for me. Customizing the stats should really be the first or 2nd step to the relic, not the 5th.

It being a chance at a chance for extra loot is potentially a bit disappointing, tbh. It largely depends on how high the % for the Aquapolis portal spawning is - if it's frequent enough then you'll at least get to go in there often and getting to the end of one won't take you that many tries. If it's a low % chance, however, then that's going to be less fun and more aggravating grinding just to get in there to then attempt to get to the end if you're lucky enough.

The live letter said the portal will have a 50% chance of spawning.

The live letter said the portal will have a 50% chance of spawning.

I understood it to be a 20% change that the entry is granted with a dragon map and once you are entered you have a 50% chance to get the right door to the next level...

Maybe I understood it wrong....has to re-read that
