4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

**Vexander** · 09-30-2017 07:22 AM

Seems like it'll be a good patch to me. I mean, between 3.0 and 3.1 they had 6 months to develop, and between 4.0 and 4.1 they've only had 3 months. I think all things considered, the patch looks promising. It's still more content than one gets in a World of Warcraft patch, and they're nowhere near as consistent as FFXIV is.

I'm looking forward to it.

the only sad thing about 4.1 is that they had to delay the new pvp map, ultimate bahamut and eureka in my opinion. The patch might look atm not really extensive and sustainable, cause if we are realistic:

1. people will do msq (once), sidequests (hildibrand)(once), Kyojin beast tribe quests (dailies, til maxed rank or mount reward) and mnaago deliveries (probably also once per week, til maxed rank)
2. people will run once Return to ivalice, maybe twice cause they liked it and probably 10x til they get a specific item
3. people will do shinryu practices/kill til weapons/mount/craft item
4. people will level their squadrons to max and get the 3 emotes (only once as well and never touch again)
5. people will farm the new feature in canals til they get bored by it (or prices drop on rare items by amount on market)

Considering how fast you can finish some stuff and once you finish (max a rank or get all rewards you wanted) you are done with the content and you will never touch it again (til they add new stuff to it).
I am a bit unsure about patch 4.1, but that is cause the content is just not lasting enough.

Every QoL is nice and all, but once you saw it and enjoyed the new feature, it gets immediatly uninteresting and wont entertain you over time.

- Ruin III replaces Ruin I, Ruin IV replaces Ruin II, Ruin IV will have no cast time (Instant)
- Devotion now buffed to include all party members as long as they are around the pet.
- Demi Bahamut is resized from the other player side instead. Meaning if they don't like your Bahamut size they can change it themselves.

- Arcanist gains back Sustain

What... What is this weird fluid coming put of my eyes? Is it allergies? Is this allergies??

Well, while it seems rather barren, I will wait and see how it plays out. I'll be honest, for me Glim Glams are the most important aspect of new patches and it looks rather disappointing in that regard.

Also I am happy they get over with the worst part of the MSQ early (read: the super awesome advenutes of Lyse) so future patch MSQ might get interesting again.

Honestly I don't see anything wrong with 4.1. Ivalice, Shinryu, Ultimate Bahamut, and Housing in Shirogane look pretty cool, but I'm still eye on Ivalice more than others.

What happened with a new relic quest line? I thought that was coming in 4.1, but saw no mention of it...

Are people really sore that we're only getting one new dungeon? I couldn't care less personally. Roulettes are definitely the least exciting part of the game for me. Hell gathering is more exciting.

I'm fine with it, so long as they introduce content to compensate as they said they would. It appears that the new PvP mode and Eureka (what I think a lot of people were looking forward to, and is the content that would have undoubtedly covered the loss of 2 dungeons) aren't quite ready yet. Which is fine, I hope they take the time to polish those so it isn't Diadem 3.0 paired with an unpopular PvP mode that is also dead on arrival. But I can see where people are coming from, it does kinda suck. Up side, there's a TON of QoL changes that the game needed. Squadrons aren't really gonna be my thing, but I'll definitely give those dungeons a go just to see how smart their AI is. I'm looking forward to the 24 man the most though. Here's hoping the gear is nice for glamour.

Couldn't agree with your more Coatl.
To all who've skipped to the back page to hurl more inflammatory comments towards me, telling me to quit and such things, I'd like to you refer to my original post so that discourse might be renewed in this thread.

Maybe if you had actually posted a constructive thread (oh why the edit after all?) your thread would have been better received as opposed to the flame bait that it was.
