What's your opinion on upcoming content this patch? I'm always excited to see what QoL improvements are on their way.

Here's also the Trailer for 7.2 if you missed it.

"IMPROVED ENCOUNTER DESIGN"

[Heavenchild]

In my opinion, 7.2 will once again offer NOTHING that actually gives us something to do.
Everything is being postponed until 7.2x, and that pisses me off. After many years, I've reached the point where I'm just angry at how they're starving FF14 players while simultaneously draining their money.

Remember when they said they will "SPARE NO EXPENSES" into FF14?

What a flat out lie lmfao.

The studio does nothing but lie in their live letters and interviews.

They always throw out some lie like "improved encounter design" to hook players with copium.

The new Arcadion gear looks really cool! People looking for classic fantasy gear will be complaining again xD

So far, the raid tier is mainly around the combat and it is too early to tell whether they live up to the 'improved encounter design'. This is something we will need to see for ourselves.

They have also just gone over PvP and Borderlands Secure. How the map is going to play out in practice is yet to be seen, however, the addition of role actions is intriguing, especially with comet, being a cast time which cannot be interrupted. A real risk Vs reward. Yoshi did hover over the action and I did briefly see 20,000 as a number, which can safely be assumed to be the damage.

Ironically, just after yo posted this they revealed the tomestone gear, much more fantasy inspired.

The tome gear looks to be FFIX-inspired, to varying degrees, though WHM gets very classic WHM robes and I don't recall any of the characters having those. Sadly it seems to have been used as the base for casters as well and just recoloured to kinda-sorta Vivi instead of actually giving us a Vivi outfit.


(will update with pictures in a moment) ...never mind, looks like Discord has stopped making the URLs findable.

... though WHM gets very classic WHM robes and I don't recally any of the characters having those.

Likely in reference to Garnet very early on using WHM robes as a disguise.

That said, now Square has no excuse when it comes to AF gear being something sacred that other jobs can't have; now all healers have WHM AF gear.

The closest you get is at the beginning of the game, Garnet has the robes which resemble the classic WHM look whilst she is trying to escape the castle. That is, until Vivi sets them on fire accidentally and they are ditched.
