    Revelations from Keynote II

    What's new for our many ongoing debates?
    • Urianger and Y'shtola are rocking new jobs (AST and BLM) as the world goes to hell
    • Y'shtola refers to "until our friend returns"
    • ...Did Urianger just call Y'shtola "Matoya?"
    • So is this the "aethersight is an added burden on the spiritual vitality" brick finally dropping? Or is it just a title now? lol
    • It seems they're in Rak'tika but something's gonna go to hell there
    • I'm somehow even more confused about where we're going. Some possibly Mesoamerican themes, old west themes, and that armadillo thing, have just added the New World to the possibility mix along with The First, Light-rekt areas, and/or Dalmasca.



    • The Child of Light is Minfilia
    • The gunblade-wielding job is called Gunbreaker, it is a TANK.
    • This is not a Garlean gunblade; they will be closer to FF8, uses magicked ammo, and will start in Gridania
    • Preview of the TRUST system showed Thancred tanking, Urianger healing, and Y'shtola on DPS in a forest dungeon
    • New Area: Il Mheg, a very colorful, high-fantasy plains-like area
    • Area is home to the pixies, notorious tricksters (not as bad as the moogles)
    • They speak a unique Oda/Koji-formulated language (Fae) and worship the primal Titania, a major 5.0 plot point
    • Much can be gleaned by the new 24-man raid title...
    • How the sugar-frosted f[kupo!] is this going to work? PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
    • (Some of you don't know Yoko Taro / Yosuke Saito levels of "be careful what you wish for" and it shows. This is going to be amazing.)
    • Viera shown off, but there were only ladies. (SO FAR...?)

    Wonder where it's gonna sit in terms of Tank balance.

    Alright, I'm ridiculously excited now. Stormblood gave us Return to Ivalice which was a love letter to three of my favourite games. Nier: Automata is also one of my favourite games and we're set to get a raid series based on that as well? Wonderful!

    You know what, I actually like that.

    Too defended and versatile to be shot down.
    Bring your rifle battalion. We'll bring a gunbreaker.

    On the whole, my expectations for disappointment have been disappointed so far. Mheg sounds different and far from the barebone, streamlined direct "crush them imperials" route I feared.

    My only disappointment so far is the Viera. I'm only a fan of outright fan service when it involves equality - and the focus on the sex appeal of bunny women makes me uncomfortable. It feels pretty exploitative and a little tone deaf given that a lot of the people asking for Viera in the first place did so because they wanted to play male Viera.

    I also dislike how this is the second playable race where the males are effectively non-existent throughout the game world. There's only a handful of male Miqo'te compared to the amount of female Miqo'te and male Viera are described as even more reclusive.

    I'm still hoping they will reveal male viera in JP fan fest.

    Mm. They might. Or during the upcoming art panel.

    ummm....viera is not a new race cuz they've been there way before XIV was a thing and considering the suggestive things u can dress a female miqo'te in the game already I dunno why it took vierra for u to call the devs tonedeaf

    Also according to the lore of Ivalice(which is a series of FF games that came out way before XIV) is a female only race that lives away from civilization(think the Amazonesses) and they literally copied that as it is for the Ivalice Raids in XIV when Fran from FFXII was included
