Sadly not
But a coworker saw a Delorean on the Autobahn today!
(And the german TV channel ARD had a cool episode of their news today, really funny!)



By the way, I LOVE the All Saints Wake art! Kudos to the artist!

Nah, not really. I was thinking about going to Jaws 19 though. Trailer looked awesome!

Thank you for the link!

So, there wasn't any info of how you actually arrive at those islands, right? They said you can use the DF, which kind of makes me afraid that the actual flying there is just a cutscene /sigh
FC and I wish for actually flying on the ship like you used to on the ferries in 1.0 ._.

Yeah, since we queue up for the Exploration missions, we can basically expect a cutscene of us arriving at (one of) the islands. I don't really mind though, as long as the content itself is fun to do as a group. (^_^ )

There are a few things in the Q&A that really made me curious. For instance:

Q13: I think it’d be convenient to be able to earn esoterics while exploring islands, but will this be possible?

A13: When starting an exploratory mission, you can obtain esoterics by completing three of the objectives listed on the map.

Additionally, the starting point for each party will be different every time, and there will be 'aether turbulance' in the area in which you arrive. Attuning to three of these will grant you the ability to fly. You’ll need to do this every time you start an exploratory mission.

Regarding aetherial gear dropped from chests in exploratory missions
The main attributes will comply with the item level’s stats, but the parameters will be random. There are gold/silver/bronze chests.

Materia-related changes in Patch 3.2
It will not be possible to use advanced materia melding for primary stats on equipment created by crafters. We will be making adjustments in the future so that advanced materia melding can be used to enhance sub-stats.

From Patch 3.2, crafted equipment will become more powerful that what it has been up until now. Furthermore, accessories will be implemented at the same time as the high-tier equipment that can be created by crafters. Additionally, materia slots will be added to raid equipment and the equipment that can be purchased with the various tomestones, so you’ll be able to add materia to boost the sub-stats that you prefer.

Many of those attempting instanced raids in the early stages tend to use advanced materia melding on accessories, which lead to tanks being required to meld STR or VIT. Due to this there were times where the melded accessories were better than the accessories which dropped from clearing the instance. In order to resolve this issue, in Patch 3.2 we will be making adjustments that will change the damage calculations of tanks into a more appropriate state.

As an overall plan moving forward, we will be making adjustments so that a burden is not placed on any particular role in order to challenge a high-difficulty raid.

I wonder what they mean by that... I do know that Paladin is currently "getting the short end of the stick" because of it's low damage (among other things), so (as a Paladin) i really want to know what they meant with that bolded part. I also wonder that when they change the way materia is melded into gear (as well as adding materia slots in Raid gear), what it will do to the Materia price on the markets. Actually... Scratch that. I'm not "wondering" about it anymore, i'm scared what it will do to the materia price on the market boards.

The news i wasn't very fond of, was this:

Q24: Do you have plans to add 3.0’s Y’shtola and Ysayle’s hairstyle?

A24: We’re planning to introduce a set of equipment and hairstyle which will allow players to look like NPCs as Mog Station optional items. Minfilia’s hairstyle and equipment will be added. The price hasn’t been decided yet, but this one is female-only equipment. (Showed an image of characters dressed as Minfilia.)

Yeah... I was afraid that this would happen eventually, when they announced cash shop way back when. Even though it's only for glamour purposes, it's still wrong that they will sell items (like gear and hairstyles) which will be exclusive to the cash shop. It's not like i'll be buying it, but i still don't like it one bit.

But, anyway. I'm looking forward to the 3.1 patch. Especially for the continuation of the story as well as the new content (like the Void Ark).
