Thread: Patch 3.5 Notes (Preliminary)

Maybe it's because I have looked at patch notes for 3 years now I expected like 3/4 of it already lol

Actually, I think this is a very good thing. They are adding a lot of QoL improvements prior to StormBlood. I am sure that a lot of the writing and design focus for content is on StormBlood right now, but the team that works on the core game and UI can be steaming ahead with QoL, performance and stability enhancements ahead of the SB launch. SB will be that much better with all those small improvements.

Plus the group pose and camera stuff should keep some people busy for months.

Speaking of performance I wonder when the PS4 Pro's extra GPU resource will be enabled in this game? Not that it affects me at the moment, since I an not a PS4Pro owner - yet.

Well, the number of quests can be deceiving, because you can have one quest that has you talk to 13 different people for 26 different reasons and get a crap ton of story out of it, or you can get a quest that sends you to talk to a single person and is done.

Camphor now makes stacks of 3? Can I get a HALLELUJAH!

Dyeable Savage Gear is also very nice. Given I'm still just trying to break into Savage Raiding though, DYE PREVIEW is of more import, sweet mercy.

Also love the looks of all the additions to Group Pose. Still waiting for the ability to run Battle Skills through it though.

Looking pretty cool tbh.

I thought the Garo gear would also be available through the Gold Saucer though. Not as pvp gear, but just glamour stuff.

As I understand it correctly, if you eat two of the same food in a row it'll have double duration?

They really like to push this group pose/screenshot feature don't they....

And why not? With the ridiculous explosion in the taking and sharing of selfies in the real world, it seems only natural that people would want to do the same in Eorzea. Plus, screen shots are fun, making better screenshots is even more fun.
