Thread: Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

Looks like they broke WAR again, really why SE why?

How did the devs screw MSQ up? Is it really that hard to just lower the amount of enemies, add in some basic NPCs as allies, and keep it as a solo duty. Now they pretty much tanked MSQ by making things more difficult. Way to go, devs. This patch cycle has been really screwy.

That would require 'active dev time'. Changing reward from 120 to 200 is just number change.

In the letter translation Yoshi said something along the lines of most expensive xpac yet (investment they are doing) but tbh I just read it as: We're sending most of the money to SE HQ to fuel VII remake and new projects.

Maybe they're trying to lower our expectations for the Eureka release. :^)

It's possible. They've stumbled with a few things in the 4.x series, but this is a massive stumble. I'm curious how the JPN side of the forum is taking this news.

No one is gonna do MSQ roulette now and your new player base is gonna be stuck for a great amount of time in order to pass these dungeons.
Didn't see the issue because you can watch the cutscene in your inn room.

And won't be surprise to see some people creating some PF like these "Selling ARR MSQ dungeon clear runs", this is what's gonna happen for sure.

And again a MCH nerf really...

Honestly, that's what it'll take for me to help new players not in my FC. Of course I'll charge a reasonable amount of gil, but 40 minutes at a minimum for 200 tomes? Yeah, okay.

I feel bad for the newbies, i'll still run msq roulette for you poor leafy boys, maybe i'll bake a cake during the cutscenes, or take a nap, who knows, endless possibilities with all this new free time i'll have on my hands.

Oh that's a great idea. Wait, you didn't hear me say anything...
