    Things i noticed in the new alpha video

    While i did notice a slight dimming down of the graphics from 1.0 in the video. there were many things i saw that i liked, and also many things i just found peculiar.

    First thing was the increased action pace. It was one of the things i originally hated about 1.0 but eventually got used to. I'm glad i won't have to endure it anymore. Another big thing i noticed was the spell interrupt notice. Being a main black mage, I LOOOOOVVVEEE this, quite final fantasy like too. <3.

    There were also many other things i noticed in the alpha video like the reward option in quests which i think is an awesome idea.

    However, the reason i made this post was not to state the obvious but to ask a question as well. I found it quite odd that while that lancer was running around a zone full of roselets, he wasn't picking up any aggro, even when at one point he ran right beside one. This makes me wonder if they are making changes to the mobs in 2.0. I'm not a hundred percent sure whether roselets are sight or sound aggro but i was expecting them to chase after the guy in the video when he got close but noticed they didn't. This makes me to wonder if popularly used ffxiv databases like mooglebox will become outdated. I thought for 2.0 they weren't gonna change much apart from graphics, gameplay and frequently complained stuff like the market. I didn't think they were gonna touch the database like recipes and mobs apart from removing dated gear and dated drops.

    Also, I'd love to hear if anyone else has noticed any strange things in any of the alpha videos that I might have missed.
