New gear speculation

[Punainen]

Maybe...maybe... the second one is SMN AF (I hope not since I don't like that style). But Reinhart's translation said something about these possibly not being finished in time?

Nah the concept art for Summoner AF is the one with ifrit behind the smn on the official site. Having considered it i'm starting to think only the one on the very left is GC gear sinces it clearly says it is, if the others were then would they have not followed the same conventions and name them in the same way?

Just like they aren't favoriting gridania as the alpha starter zone? So the point is....?

Thats not the same thing and you know it.

In the world of mmos, there will always be newer and better gear and I got the feeling the best if yet to come in 2.0.

Who said I was hating. I like Grid. I was just pointing out that using that as the starting zone is a form of favoritism. Even Yoshi encouraged people to join Gridania Grand Company. You can never avoid favoritism. People could even say that emphasis Miqo'te is a form favoritism.

Time for people to chill out and stop getting bent if they don't show what YOU want.



To get back on topic though:
The person who posted about behemoth armor or things of that nature could be onto something. It may involve that.

They whored out Limsa Lominsa in all the promotional material leading up to the original release. It didn't really change anything when everyone decided to join and stay in Ul'dah anyways. I don't think emphasizing Gridania will give it any more appeal to people or make the distribution of new players too unbalanced. If anything it will do the opposite. The reason I heard the most for why people didn't start in Limsa was because they played Alpha and the first round of Beta and they were tired of Limsa Lominsa and La Noscea.

Making a starting city the central economic hub caused an over emphasis on player distribution. If anything players will flock away from Gridania as by the time ARR is released we'll have been seeing Old Gridania / New Gridania and the Central Shroud more than any other location.

Yep, need more Limsa people

All we need is new variations of star-spangled subligar, for new gc armor. I'm sure Reinheart would back me up on this. SUBLIGAR FOR ALL NATIONS!
