Thread: 1.21 First Impressions

Well I just logged on and did a couple levees on my Con to check out the new magic casting system. I like being able to cancel a cast, but I don't like being able to move around. I also think that I saw Uldah scenery got updated, and I think I saw a new weather effect in the sky. Next I'm gonna try some synths to see how the new HQ system is.

I swear this game is running much smoother than before. I dont have a FPS counter but it has to be a bit higher than before 1.21.

So what does everyone think of 1.21?

I think....I need to actually log in and try it. But instead I'm reading the forums.

What's wrong with me??

Crafting abilities are now permanently selectable, and don't show up randomly anymore!

This, in and of itself, makes this patch my favorite by far.

Since we're talking of the sky, give a look at south-east (even during the day)

Yup, looking at at least double or so exp per synth with the right abilities.

And I'm getting the feeling that Hildibrand might be Eorzea's Mr. Fabulous.

Also the time remaining bar on synths decreases much slower, actually letting you talk to your LS
