Don't want this to get lost so i'll post it again, very intrigued by what this could be.

1.21
-NEW- Additional instanced raid bosses
-NEW- Addition of new boss enemies for the two instanced raids -

I read that as new bosses in darkhold, which would be awesome and reopen old content for us. But I could be misinterpreting it.

Hi Sanctus,

I saw that as them listing the contents of the 2 *new* Level 50 Raid Dungeons they're adding for 1.21, not Dzemael.

That's how I'm reading it, as well. I really hope so. Would be nice to know they still care about the old content and looking towards making it better. It would technically like getting 3 dungeons this time^^ Maybe they'll spice up the old NMs too... Here's hoping.

I'm super excited for the patch though!

Do we know if there will be storage in the new housing?

[Zantetsuken]

The Manticore/Chimera is already in the dats. Safe to assume that its gonna be part of the new dungeons.

[Elexia]

It's possible, but they also used the Chimera to showcase FFXIV 2.0, so it could be reserved for that as well lol.

[Quatre]

If anyone actually believes 2.0 isn't going to be delayed just a LITTLE bit is completely delusional.

That's not actually entirely true. We don't know enough about their team organization to know for sure, but when we first heard about 2.0, Yoshida-san implied that there was a completely separate and distinct team working on the 2.0 engine. If this is indeed the case, delays in the current content would actually have literally no effect on the pace of development on 2.0.

As to the patch itself, sounds quite intriguing. Enough so that I will have to make time to play some more this week (I haven't had the time to play in recent weeks, so this incentive is quite welcome).

My only question is: What will Bard go off from? I will be leveling that immediately!!!!

I'm going to love this patch!

You need to level Archer and probably Conjurer since Jobs are Class 30 + Class 15, unless that's going to change from now until end of Feb.
