Aether, Crystal, and Primal are NA
violet ibex
@glass elm Aether and Primal are your best bets
warped nest
You won't know population, and it barely matters
lean dragon
@narrow glacier Thank you!
warped nest
Because A match making is done within all the worlds in a data center and B most players are chilling at random spots in game, don't expect a 200 player crowd on your starting area
glass elm
Okay are there any differences between the NA servers?
fresh lodge
Aether is more high difficulty content focused, Crystal focuses on more casual content and RP, and Primal is a mix of both
warped nest
Btw, Data Center is collection of World. While World is server.
Aether, Crystal, and Primal are data center, and they each have 6-7 Worlds

One thing to keep in mind is each class has a meld priority (which generally is something you focus on more when you get to 80 in the class). WAR for example highly benefits from crit (for the bonus damage side) due to having skills which guarantee critical hits. However enough skill speed for 5 fell cleaves during inner release is also recommended. The balance discord is a good resource for that kind of end game optimization.

Hey guys, more questions just for some advice: I'm leveling up SCH and have been going through Aurum Vale and just having a struggle with burst healing at times, especially if Tank ends up pulling quite a bit.
I've seen various opinions about Adlo but have also had Tanks asking me to use it over Physick, despite the shield not seeming to be that effective and effectively bottoming out my Mana Pool. What are people's recommendations?
faint flare
Abuse lustrate
warped nest
Make sure you have your fairy skill on tank
narrow glacier
Aurum Vale is also kind of a special child
yell at them if they're pulling the entire first room
warped nest
Adlo burns your MP, but it is adding shield to your tank. You need to avoid overwriting your own Adlo shield
fresh lodge
Adlo provides more effective healing as long as you're not overwriting your shield
uncut fiber
UI-wise, the shield is the "yellow" added bit to their HP bar on the Party list, right?
warped nest
Yes
narrow glacier
Healing can also be painful on the first and last bosses if people aren't doing the fruit mechanics properly
uncut fiber
So would best practice be to Adlo, use Physick so long as there is shield remaining, and then Adlo again?
warped nest
Or when tanks think their defensive cooldown is a panic button
whole wasp
@uncut fiber yes but thats the lowest priority
faint flare
Use your lustrates first
uncut fiber
Healing can also be painful on the first and last bosses if people aren't doing the fruit mechanics properly
@narrow glacier Yeah, I have no issues running with new players, but at times people will stack up to 4 and start getting angry about "no heals" in thoes situations.
fresh lodge
Ideally you want to use adlo then lustrate if you can
uncut fiber
Gotcha! Thanks.
whole wasp
your first step is always to use your lustrate/whispering dawn
warped nest
If the tank is getting dangerously low, yeah, Aldo for heal + shield, then Physick/Lustrate to get actual HP back, then Adlo for more shield
whole wasp
if those can't make it then you resort down to adlo/physick
narrow glacier
Another thing to keep in mind is fairy placement
faint flare
Off global heals like.lustrate and whispering dawn are highest priority
narrow glacier
If you place your fairy in a specific location they proc their fairy skills faster
Versus if you're moving around there's a slight delay
uncut fiber
That, I did not know and is really cool to learn.
narrow glacier
because the fairy follows you around
uncut fiber
Thanks, guys, that's actually really helpful stuff.
narrow glacier
Just don't forgot to heal your fairy back when the boss fight/trash mobs are over
warped nest
What?
narrow glacier
Otherwise they despwan when you get a certain distance away from them
uncut fiber
Will head back into the dungeons with the SCH again!
The healer class I've definitely had the most fun with so far but was just getting frustrated with people getting angry on chat but not offering tips and help.
warped nest
Oh, Heel
narrow glacier
er.. yeah that
warped nest
Make sure you aren't on crap gear too
worldly ermine
^^^^ rly important
wasnt able to help beat the last boss in the aery cause of it
was a sht whm
narrow glacier
(and the tank also isn't in crap gear)
uncut fiber
Gotcha. I've MB'd most of my gear to the appropriate level but will double check if there isn't anything else I'm missing.
faint flare
Make sure its HQ if you brought from MB
narrow glacier
Tanks and healers tend to be a bit more critical when it comes to getting up to date gear
faint flare
Otherwise you kinda wasted money
uncut fiber
(y)
narrow glacier
Well, Aurum means you're at the relic armor phase (just not the last piece)
So that should handle some gearing
narrow glacier
Your main weapon (codex) is what you want to focus on for keeping up to date
Since that's your main source of stat increase
Can also check your grand company depending on your rank for some filler if you need to (for up to 50 at least)

Guilds/FCs aren't a big deal, if anything they're for social and the FC buffs

Just a reminder that "retrieve materia" and "extract materia" are different

lament wagon
yeah but doing the dungeon with ai still takes half an hour
forest lark
Guys do I get free fantasia potion at the end of astral era too?
forest lark
Oh rip
mossy current
Only time you get a free one
forest lark
First I bought fantasia, messed up my char, got free fantasia, messed up my char xd
open coral
Trusts are designed in such a way that, not accounting for truly exceptional player-dealt damage, they will always take almost exactly the same amount of time.
forest lark
Shouldve stayed the one with dragon scales race
open coral
Just buy more fantasias.
forest lark
I will lol thank god its not overpriced
open coral
Someone in one of my FCs has bought a ridiculous number of fantasias.
forest laurel
please tell me it's not in the triple digits
open coral
They changed their race/appearance something like 10 times in just a couple of weeks at one point.
forest lark
Lol Im never satisfied with how my character turns out, when I look other player charas, In like wow
open coral
It was almost a daily thing.
open coral
I still have my free fantasia on all but one of my characters.
forest lark
I used it the instant I got it
open coral
The one I used it on I changed from Elezen to Viera.
forest lark
I like poses of au ra

my character's already perfect 
forest lark
And I switched from that to miqo te t.t
lament geyser
Haha this game seems great!
mossy current
It's dyable iirc
forest laurel
the only difference is that augmented is stronger, and dyeable.
mossy current
Oh nice glam
open coral
Sounds like you're having fun so far @lament geyser
open coral
You can dye the glam or the original armour
I don't believe the relic sets are dyeable
forest laurel
they're not
open coral
It will say in the tooltip for a piece of gear whether you can dye it or not.
mossy current
Wait
forest lark
Butbif u use dyable glam over it, u can dye it then
mossy current
Can't you augment them?
lament geyser
@open coral yea looks like I'll be getting the ultimate edition a dark Knight seems awesome
wheat lark
Does anyone have any advice in finding a good free company to join? Do free companies usually have "requirements"?
open coral
DRK are tanks. They're a nice class to have.
strange coral
ARR AF gear can be upgraded to version that is dyable
mossy current
^
forest laurel
free companies don't have requirements
mossy current
Was gonna say
open coral
But you can't unlock DRK until you get into Heavensward @lament geyser so you've got some time yet before you get there!
lament geyser
Right now I'm deciding between a sword or a bow
mossy current
Which sword
wheat lark
Ya but do you have any advice on how to find a free company you vibe with?
lament geyser
Oh only starting classes xD
open coral
Wait... are you trying to decide on a class? Still?
mossy current
Gladiator
wheat lark
My bf and I just started playing recently and only are level 40. We don't know anyone in game yet.
lament geyser
The rpg in me says bow the ff in me says sword xD
open coral
@wheat lark Unless you have friends in an FC, the best way is going to be a lot of trial and error.
forest lark
I havent made weong choice by choosing scholar, fun class plus as a healer super duper fast queues
forest laurel
you just
join one, socialise with ppl
if you don't really vibe with them, then leave that FC and find another one.
wheat lark
Okay, is there a recommended method / best method in finding a FC?
mossy current
/shout in a big city
open coral
@lament geyser I mean, personally I really love healing, so I tend to start with CNJ (Conjurer). Go Gladiator if you want to be a tank, or Archer if you'd rather be dps.
mossy current
"looking for a FC" or something
wheat lark
Okay thank you!
forest laurel
you could also look thru the recruitment channel for your datacentre.
and look for an FC that's in your server.
lament geyser
I do like tanking, but in my experiences tanks need to know all mechanics
open coral
I mentioned earlier that the game does a lot of tutorialing early on.
wheat lark
Okay thank you. Going to try and find one this week :)
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
That includes a tutorial on "how to be a tank" or "how to be a healer" or "how to be a dps" before you go into your first dungeon.
Depending on your role.
lament geyser
Even boss mechanics?
open coral
Boss mechanics that early are mostly just "move out of the orange thing on the ground"
You'll see more varieties of mechanics as you progress, but they're not difficult to pick up.
Plus, for your first 120(?) hours of the game, you'll have a "sprout" icon next to your name indicating that you're a new player.
lament wagon
168 and before shb
open coral
I've seen level 80 sprouts.
lament wagon
yeah they got to 80 but they didn't start shb
open coral
No, I've seen them in ShB dungeons.
lament wagon
then they boosted to 70
strange coral
I've seen them in Eulmore too
open coral
I had a sprout WHM in Mt. Gulg a few weeks ago.
lament wagon
and played less than 168h
forest lark
Man I cant find last inconcpicuously suspiciousbitem around ceruleum processing plant
lament wagon
it's on the top of a pipe
forest lark
Oh I see it, what a convenient place to put it lol
open coral
Anyways, @lament geyser you can also tell your parties for instances that you're tanking a particular instance for the first time, and people will usually explain important mechanics for you.
lyric warren
can u use your own pig mount instead of using the one from the npc? https://i.imgur.com/foOCjzg.png
open coral
By the time you get to 50 you'll have seen a vast majority of types of mechanics, and everything from there on will seem pretty intuitive for you.
No. You have to use the quest one because it gives the extra action.
Specifically, it gives the quest-linked action.
The one on the personal mount doesn't count towards completion.
solemn delta
Does anyone recall the quest where your fighting all the sin eaters with the two npcs korut and crystal?
I'm having problems with it
open coral
I recall a number of quests.
Can you be more specific?
Like what level/location, and whether it's one of the instanced ones or an overworld one?
lament geyser
@open coral thank you fir your patience :d
solemn delta
Instanced, called a digging we go, in tomra
low plank
i tried using the party finder for tsukuyomi but no group wnats me bc i ahvent compleeeted it are there any alternatives?
solemn delta
It's just duty failing me when the last pack come out?
open coral
Is one of the npcs dying?
@low plank You can try doing it unsynced with your own group.
wary ice
Hi...So I'm a really new player. Like I just started playing the game. "I am baby" as the kids would say. Im realizing how important picking your job can be so I decided to do research most of them. Doing so I found out being decent at two jobs can be very helpful. I settled on bard but I also wanna play a healing class.
And this falls into my question. All the videos Ive watched so far have told me what the abilities of the Astrologian, white mage, and scholar are but like...What the difference between the three and their specialties? I know they're different but like how?
I know I'm level 20 so I'm thinking about this way to early but honestly I really wanna know what I wanna play before I get to the level you pick your job.
Sorry if this is a dumb question 😣 I should probably know this already....
low plank
@open coral i dont have a group and 90 % of the people in my fc arent high enough level
oak ice
@lyric warren No, you have to use the one from the quest
solemn delta
I think the lalafell is dying
forest laurel
White mage focuses on heals.
Scholar focuses on shields.
Astrologian is a mix of both, with a few damage buffs.
that's my basic understanding.
faint flare
If you're trying to do the nornal mode, just que and wait
forest lark
For scholar and astro u need arcanist class
forest laurel
not for astro.
forest lark
Oh
oak ice
SCH and SMN
forest laurel
Arcanist becomes both Summoner (DPS) and Scholar (healer), and they're leveled at the same time.
forest laurel
Astrologian is a Heavensward job, so as long as you're in Heavensward, you can unlock it.
low plank
@faint flare no i wanna do Ex
solemn delta
Clearly the npcs don't get the buff lol
faint flare
Then just set up a pf, advertising unsync and wait
forest lark
Are there materias for healers, cause I looked on market board and theres not one for Mind
forest lark
Oh, but there are int, str materias
faint flare
Those do nothing
forest lark
So i though mind would be too
scarlet arrow
there USED to be main stat materia but they've all been deprecated
forest lark
So, as a healer Id want crit?
wary ice
Ohhhh Okay thanks!
faint flare
Yes
open coral
@wary ice WHM is your pure throughput healer. They have the widest array of pure healing spells, and tend to be the best for mana usage as well. They also have very high dps compared to the other healers.
SCH is your shield healer. They have a much stronger focus on preemptive damage reduction rather than reactive healing like the WHM. Their fairy helps by being their main healing throughput.
AST is a buff healer. Their gimmick is their cards which are used to buff the other players in their party. They also have the capability to fill either the reactive or proactive role depending on whether they use Diurnal or Nocturnal Sect. Of the three, they are probably the most complex play, but don't necessarily have the "punch" that the other two do unless played at a very high level.
@low plank You can make your own party finder group.
faint flare
Piety of comfort (lower the better) > crit > Dh Or det > the other > sps > excess piety

Rn im at the Chrysalis part
wary ice
@open coral that actually really helped. I thought I wanted Astrologian because the space and card aesthetic is rad as heck but Scholar also seems really cool too.
open coral
If you're at the Chrysalis you're almost done with the post-ARR
lament wagon
of course it's boring if you skip through everything
open coral
You're missing a lot of context if you're skipping all the cutscenes.
So yeah, it will seem pretty boring.
oak ice
The first half is mainly world building, you meet NPCs that will be important later on and you find out about how ||primals|| work
The second half starts setting up the plot for HW, with the Crystal Braves' introduction
And those scenes are very important or you'll be left in the dark about a lot of things that make HW so good
unreal aspen
what's the best way to level crafting/gathering? I stopped playing for abt a year and trying to figure out how to fix everything on my old character (no gearsets, rotations too confusing now that i forgot them lmao) was too confusing, and i got the itch to restart, so I have to relevel all of my noncombat stuff. is spamming levequests still the best way?
open coral
Get to level 20 with Levequests, then do Ishgard Restoration, iirc
faint flare
Leves or ishgard restoration for crafters at least
lament geyser
Hm a cutscenes keeps knocking my net out somehow
unreal aspen
that would require me getting to the dlc content in regards to the main quest right?

To Heavensward, yes.

Hey, I’ve never played FFXIV but I’ve been considering it since I have some more time on my hands. I’d like to play an MMO with a nice community so I can make some friends. Is the community on this discord actively playing together? I’ve only ever play destiny and a very small amount of WoW. I could never get into WoW because my friends wouldn’t play it. Hoping this game can be different.

jagged rune
@lament wagon but I feel like, after committing a whole day into Pugilist, that it doesn't really do much dmg even though it's meant to be one of the best dps since it's single-target
wintry chasm
In this case classes and jobs can be used interchangeably. It'd work with battle classes and gathering/crafting classes and battle jobs

Incarnation no job is too weak. BLM have problems with moving and casting, Ninjas are melee with positionals so they also have troubles with some bosses and groups where the tank won't be still.

@latent haven it is a lot faster, really worth using instead of sprint

Allo! I'm working on completing as much ARR content as I can while still working through the post ARR MSQ and it's brought me to the Bahamut quest chain. I've been advised that doing the raid as part of the Duty Finder is a bad idea, what would be the proper course to take?
open coral
For Bahamut, mostly people will wait until they significantly outlevel the content, then solo what they can unsynced, or bring friends along and do it as an entire unsynced party.
Bahamut is not part of the

So the events of the Bahamut raid don't affect the story at all?
gloomy ice
@forest lark At the main desk, across from the Mini-Cactpot guy, you can exchange gil for a small amount of MGP to get started. From there, you can use it to buy three scratch cards per day from the Mini-Cactpot, participate in the GATE events that run every 20 minutes, or buy lottery tickets at the Jumbo Cactpot table in Event Square (drawings are every Saturday). GATEs are probably the easiest way to get the points you need.

Can I set up a macro to mute certain sounds, I just want to mute everything but what would make the que sound play.

yeah sure
check this setting
only having system sounds active mutes everything but stuff like when you get whispered, get a mail or have duty finder pop

don't suppose that gaia's clothes are something I could wear?

gaia is custom clothes

no sadly @rough anchor

even then, undyeable and probably as one body piece for the whole thing

My account is linked to a 2016 free steam version
Any way to remove that so I can use it on my PS4?

I use steam and ps4 together

Any level 80s on exodus need poetic bonuses?
earnest cedar
It says free trial versions of steam can’t be used with the PS4 version of this game
That’s literally the error message
But in the mogry station I can’t delete that account or move it

You would need to buy on steam to get a full account then you can put ps4
Otherwise just new account

what exactly does the level 80 crafted gear skip over ? like what is it better than and what would you still need to get after ?

quick question, can I accept a lvl 15 quest on my lvl 15 class, do it and deliver it on my lvl 5 class and get the xp on my lvl 5?
dusky nest
nope
carmine roost
thatd be hella cheesy if it worked
boreal aurora
is there a EQ for miner u can buy from npc to increase HQ chance? for lvl15
lament wagon
eq?
little swift
equipment i assume
its a lot tougher to grab enough hq% thruogh your stats early
the max you can get before skills is 15% iirc anyways
leaden ginkgo
in POTD and HOH we get a big xp bonus at the end, is that the only xp we get ? Or we get xp at each monster killed, or each floor or smth else ?

its just rng grind until then

Hello all im new to the discord. Im a returning player 70 blm i plan on playing with my older brother whos taken an interest in the game. I was wondering if someone could take me under their wing for a day or two and refresh my memory of some of the things i should be doing because ive honestly forgotten it all. Ive finished all the MQL up intil SB. I plan on buying it as soon as he gets the game. A helping hand would be greatly appreciated. Please and Thank you
leaden ginkgo
that's the only xp you get
@lament wagon I did 10 1st floors of HoH and got 1M xp (im lvl 62 so need 5M) does all floors gives the same amount of xp ? or other gives a lot more ? Cause 1M is pretty poor compared to grinding dungeons
boreal aurora
i grabbed some eq from npc
lament wagon
they give more
pastel crow
Does the bonus experience % you get from having an 80 job only go towards other jobs on that same character? Or does a brand new level 1 character benefit from it also?
lament wagon
hoh 21-30 gave me about 25-30% of my xp bar
mossy current
The exp gets higher after certain intervals
leaden ginkgo
is there any "best floors" ? I dont remember for POTD but I know something like if you start at floor 50 or 100 theres a mpt ùpre people
lament wagon
21-30
pastel crow
@little swift Ty!
leaden ginkgo
oh ok lol, im tagging for 21-30 atm but 10 min passed and nothing, I feel like hoh is dead
mossy current
For PoTD, 1-50 is lowest, 51-100 is medium and 101-200 is best iirc
lament wagon
21-30 is instant for me
little swift
yeah but 101-200 isn't queable
mossy current
^
leaden ginkgo
oh sorry im tagging for 11-20*
is that possible after reaching floor 20 to tag again only for 20-30 or I must always start since 1
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
may I ask whats the maximal floor lol ?
200 like POTD ?
has anyone experience clicking teleport and it taking a couple seconds for the teleport countdown to start?
proud willow
PotD final floor is 200, HoH is 100
leaden ginkgo
PotD final floor is 200, HoH is 100

@leaden ginkgo when i download games in steam i don't face any problems, but my speed in this launcher is limited to 0.60 mb/s

probably overloaded servers or something
when I downloaded the game I had the same thing

lament geyser
Much different between steam version and the download from site?

So I believe I've asked this before, but I'd like more opinions haha. For a brand new FF14 player, what DPS class do you think would be "easiest/best" for a new player looking to get into end tier content?
leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo when i download games in steam i don't face any problems, but my speed in this launcher is limited to 0.60 mb/s
@coral venture as I said ffxiv launcher itself is really optimized for downloading, it must be either your PC issue (maybe other downloading) either server issue, but again theres no way ton increase that download speed, at least from the launcher

Hey guys, anyone know what this armor and weapon is called?
From a youtube video
proud willow
Ranged Physical DPS (Bard, Machinist, Dancer) are probably the easiest to take into endgame for the first time, due to their mobility
as well as Red Mage because of its relative simplicity
lament wagon
lancer/dragoon is also pretty easy to play if you want melee
pastel crow
I'm coming from WoW, definitely more of a ranged player, yeah.
pastel crow
Hmmm

I saw someone with a dope mech-looking mount holding an axe, they said it was from pvp but not what its called or how to get it - anyone know the name so I can look it up?
twilit arch
@leaden ginkgo Abyss set for the armour, its the lvl 70 job gear you get from the lvl 70 job quest. the weapon is Ultimate Dreadwyrm Claymore from the unending coil of bahamut (ultimate), which is among one of the hardest fights in game

dusky nest
yeah temporary
tropic tulip
@twilit arch looks like that's it, thanks. time to go learn about pvp
twilit arch
any time, since its dependent entirely on how many people are logged in (which is why the lodestone post is a bit iffy since lodestone updates a specific times)
dusky nest
i see
proud willow
That's the abbreviations for all of the tank classes: Gladiator, Marauder, Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, Gunbreaker
twilit arch
@proper arrow it means only gladiator(gla), marauder (mrd), paladin (pld), warrior (war), dark knight (drk) and gunbreaker (gnb) can wear that item
proper arrow
How do I become one? 🙂
twilit arch
gladiator is unlocked in ul'dah, and is the base class of paladin. you can pick up the job quests at lvl 30, and once you've complete the lvl 20 main scenario quest "sylph management"
marauder is unlocked in limsa, and becomes warrior
proper arrow
So just follow the main quest?
twilit arch
dark knight can be unlocked at lvl 50, once you've gotten to ishgard and starts at lvl30, gunbreaker requires you to have gotten to 60 and unlocks in gridania
proud willow
Once you've done your level 10 job quest, you'll unlock the ability to switch to other classes, but the classes you can pick up will depend on what areas you can get to
the level 15 main quest lets you visit all of the 3 starter cities
proper arrow
I swear I'm about to quit this game because it's so complex xd
Thanks anyways

I just bought a key when i tried to use it it says wrong region :/
what does that mean and is there a fix?
boreal aurora
does /sit increase rate of regeneration of miner skillmana?
proud willow
Keys are region-specific, so if you have a North American account, you can't use a European key, for example
mighty rock
so american accounts are locked to american servers as well?
proud willow
Your account doesn't stop you from playing on other servers, just using other regions' keys
mighty rock
k then so would using a VPN fix this thing?
last cape
@boreal aurora no, only way to get back GP is through use of cordials, and leveling up to obtain traits that increase GP regen
boreal aurora
ah

@sharp goblet the amount of XP you get from old endgame content like the raids or level 60 dungeons is relatively low

question, is there a certain gathering requirement for fishing nodes?
Trying to fish in the Salt Stand
23 fishing
104 gathering

"You can sense something swimming but are uncertain where"

and avoiding it would do little to change when you hit level 80, as the amount of XP to get through the last few levels is quite high
like tens of millions
boreal aurora
double routine bonus might end in juny/july i need to make full use of it
mighty rock
@sharp goblet hmm whats the app or site you used? 😄
proud willow
I've heard of people having the i2501 problem but I don't have much tech advice other than repeating what Google says
main cairn
anyone? 😦
twilit arch
@main cairn do you have gulleye II trait?
main cairn
nope, only Gulleye 1
mighty rock
@sharp goblet tyt i got nothing else to do lol
twilit arch
then that would be why
main cairn
but it's a level 20 fishing area, I'm 23 😄
seriously, I need to be 30+ for that one? 😛
twilit arch
yes
gulleye I only allows you to fish from holes that are 15 or below
If you get that message, you either don't have the appropriate gulleye trait or you don't have the appropriate fishing trait (like cloudfishing)

thanks for the help, was looking at wrong page

Yeah, my recommendation is not to worry about it too much. Though if you were looking to pick up Gunbreaker anyway, that would be a fine time to do it

It Worked @sharp goblet @proud willow @faint flare Thanks alot guys ❤️

if the other tank is fighting you for aggro, just let them main tank

RIght now i'm on paladin but seeing how i dinged 60 just as i finished arr base game i think i'll be hitting 80 way faster than reaching end of story for shadowbrigers so i was thinking of switching to either dark knight or gunblade

otherwise you can use the Stone, Sea, Sky "trial" to as a rough guide of whether you're good enough to do a specific encounter or not

mobs with a red triangle are aggressive, mobs with a green-ish oval are not @lethal seal

Oh ok, ty!! @scarlet arrow

If there's something above the mob's name, that means you have some kind of quest to kill it
either a quest, or hunting log, or hunt bill, or something

You need to attune to all aether currents.in.that zone to fly
Only expansion.zones have flight

How many years will the game still be developed for and have they ever said anything about a new ff mmo?
bitter plaza
there will be at least one more expansion in the current story arc
and there might be another story arc after that
but it's difficult to predict how long that arc will take
bitter plaza
development on FFXI, the previous MMO, only ended like a year ago or so, and recently they've begun updating it again
because the popularity of FFXIV lead to a spike in interest for FFXI

a new engine, absolutely not
bitter plaza
they've been updating the engine for years, but it is always slow and incremental
new graphics, unlikely
each new expansion looks better than the last but there's a limit on that because they have an art asset pipeline that they can't easily change
the problem is that this car is driving over the road at 120km/h, so you can't just whip out the engine and redo the bodywork

to unlock flight in an area, you need to finish the local MSQ, several sidequests, and find all the aether currents in that area

sidequests that give you special things have this marker
