I used to be able to freely transfer large amounts of gil between my characters via the MB because I didn't have to pay taxes either as seller or buyer if the selling retainer was set up in the right city state. Now I can't do that anymore. I might still be able to avoid the seller tax but I will always be paying to buy.

It's also going to make Limsa even more crowded. No reason to head elsewhere to buy anymore.

They are simply called Eden: Resonance 1 - 4.

Ocean fishing sounds like fun new content for fishers. Not sure FSH really needed any extra help leveling up, tho. Trying to fill out the log (while ignoring all the big fish) seems like more than enough.

I'm excited, at least briefly, just for the scenery. I like getting chances to see zones from a different perspective, especially if you can see things off in the distance.

(Then again they tend to be a bit wonky with relative placement of things, so it may just give me more inconsistencies to fret over...)

Introducing half-hearted moneysink mechanics this late into a games lifecycle is the worst design decision i have seen in a long time in any MMO. Many of us have hundreds of millions of gil (I ve been playing on and off since 2.0) and can generate millions a day just playing the marketboard a little. This will only hit new players and those who joined recently, overcrowd LL and generally cause those not so versed in buying/selling to make less money.

But sure, first you dumb down and simplify an entire game to appeal to newcomers with no inclination to learn in the first place, then you tax and money-sieve them for no reason. Its magic!

No more Crafting Action Reuse action after 5.2.

Getting a free item here and there was nice especially if the item being returned sells for 100k lol.
