Eureka Pagos

[addz3]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I can't see that it has.

Is Pagos coming on Tuesday as part of patch 4.3? I didn't see any comments of it in the patch notes. I read that on reddit it had been said the gear wasn't getting upgraded? Curious to see if this is true and to see other changes.

Any links would be welcome if I have missed something.

It's at the very top.

The following quests and duties are scheduled to be released in patch 4.36:
The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos

No; at the top of the preliminary patch notes, there is a layout of when certain pieces of content will be released. Specifically:

The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate): 4.31
Heaven-on-High, Hildibrand: 4.35
Eureka Pagos: 4.36

So we've still got roughly 8 weeks, I'd say, before Pagos.

Edit / Aside: I really wish SE would adjust their advertising for content outside the main update. The Patch 4.3 special site, for instance, advertises these four things that are coming post-4.3 - and there was no up-front indication that they weren't coming with the main update. If you weren't following the Live Letters and FFXIV's general content cycle, you'd be confused. There are a lot of different ways to make things more clear, so it's not like SE doesn't have options, but their current approach isn't great.

Cool, thanks for this

@Vhailor. If they did that then the patch would look very small. From a marketing perspective it looks better to bundle everything together, because one big website every three months looks tangible and exciting, small patches more regularly may give people a false impression that they are getting very little content

There are other ways to handle this. Hell, even if the website clearly divided the content up and indicated what came in the 'main' patch (4.30), and what came later, that'd be a huge improvement. I understand the need for building up hype, but they've crossed the line into being deceptive. I was caught off-guard by Heaven-on-High being relegated to a mid-cycle patch, and while I'm not as dedicated as some, I do follow things like the Live Letter. That's a situation that simply shouldn't happen - and it's one that could be a lot worse for returning players. Bait-and-switch tactics for the sake of marketing generally aren't a good idea.

Even I'm trying to understand, because they made Eureka Anemos so cool and Eureka Payos so annoying. Can someone explain me?
Why did Yoshida take off the train?
Eureka Anemos left me much more stuck in the content than Eureka Pagos. Speaks seriously!

Because they didnt like how people were playing - or rather: not playing, but afking - the content. The train apparently wasnt their intended way for us to play, or possibly even enjoy (at least a tiny bit) this content. So now we have to do what they had in mind... chaining mobs.
One can only hope that they'll make adjustments soon and notice that what they had in mind for this content just isnt fun (anymore).

[FUJIRO-BR]

I fully agree with you. I find it a waste of content to do something that '' was '' cool to be boring and meaningless. There are things FF should learn from the players and not from developers!

Although it makes them looking iike having updates more often
