Thread: [patch1.22] Patch 1.22 Notes ARE UP!

1) Hamlet Defense: I was really looking forward to how SE would incorporate mixed discipline parties into some sort of content (this was something he was nervous about doing.) I was disappointed with the full party requirement, but I'm happy with how they implemented this. DoW/DoM are still the primary players here, but the DoL/DoH effect the rewards before they even get started. Talk about an incentive for participation! But if that's not enough incentive for some folks, I'm sure the boost in anima for turning in items will seal the deal for the majority.

2) Sanctioned gear and GC gear set bonus: Sanctioned bonuses seem fairly hefty. Hefty enough to compete with single meld materia, if the example is accurate across the board. I doubt the set bonus will be worth sacrificing AF gear or melded sets. Likely an option for newbies and the poor.

3) I'm going to move my retainer and inn HP and main HP to gridania. It's where Louisoux is, it's wear the Hamlet Defense is happening, and it is likely going to be where I'll be spending more of my time from now on. Yay! It was my starting city. Happy to be back there again.

4) If you use the axe "Garuda's Scream" can you hear it?

5) Hasty Hand: Adequate skill guarantees success. Bout time.

6) Can gather Cobalt in Cedarwood now. Gold in Halatali, Darksteel in Dragonhead. I picked a good time to take up the Miner's Life for Me Achievements. Astral Rock quarried in Dragonhead. wonder what that's for. Spruce log in Dragonhead. Trillium Bulbs harvested in Iron Lake. Boo... I guess we're not getting Grade 6 now.

Yay!! I'm also happy to head back to Gridania! It's been too long.

Regarding sanctioned items: I'm guessing that these have the potential to be very, very powerful. But they seem *much* better than a single meld materia. Did you see that cudgel? Attack magic potency +60 easily beats out every double melded THM weapon in the game since we know that 1 mag pot = 4 INT. The best double melded cudgel with +40 INT is still only equal to +10 attack magic potency. This sanctioned cudgel therefore blows all other THM/BLM weapons out of the water (and has magic accuracy to boot). And it's only available to us Adders. Teehee! ^^

Guaranteed Hasty Hand is amazing, this will make luminaries much more feasible to get.

I'm starting to get the feeling that those just aren't going to happen.

They are, probably first primals added after 2.0. Yoshi did say they were holding off those two due to the earthquake in japan, but they wouldn't be dropped.

Also, Titan's main storyline quest is in game dats since beta, and leviathan artwork appears on the 2.0 concept art. Dont chu worry.
