retired-patch-6-3-discussion

[candid pewter]

is that confirmed?

[carmine basin]

Yeahhh we're cut out of story and extra rewards

[hardy acorn]

The worst part was the bs excuse they gave

[carmine basin]

YoshiP mentioned it in an interview and the part 1 PLL didn't mention it at all so

[candid pewter]

ah, shame

i was looking forward to seeing how they'd handle it

[hardy acorn]

It's obvious it was cut for time

Which is silly because it's not exactly a major piece of content. They should put it in 6.0 but you know they won't

[dim sigil]

No allied hurts a lot

Like I don't know how the game development goes but it's usually just a few Quest that aren't even voice-acted

[winter junco]

One question, is possible FFXV collaboration back before 6.0?

[dim sigil]

They confirmed it's going to be rerun

So it'll happen sometime

[wind bough]

Bruh that’s still a lot of dev time and resources.

[hardy acorn]

I got cutting Hildibrand (that would have been a disaster with how this patch series played out) but like @dim sigil said, it's a small quest chain

[grave raft]

poor pinged

[wind bough]

Understandable given how much they’re crunching with COVID. XIV development seems to run at capacity with no spare devs. Heck some features get implemented because of stuff devs worked on in their spare time

[dim sigil]

I still haven't touched Mahjongg

[hardy acorn]

They're only crunching because they refused to hire more people

[floral aurora]

Hildebrand did get better in SB right? Wasn't that funny to me in HW compared to ARR

[tulip geyser]

I still love how they gave old world flying early cause of enthusiasm

[dim sigil]

I recall they wanted to stop in stormblood but they ended up doing it anyway

[wind bough]

That’s not the dev team’s fault

[floral aurora]

I don't blame them, HW wasn't as funny imo

[dim sigil]

It's kind of weird we live in a post Around Reborn rework world even if it isn't as extensive as I expected

[dim sigil]

Hot take it was never that funny

[floral aurora]

I liked the ARR for what it was

[dim sigil]

I saw it more as Gilgamishes story

And they just had to have a character on the 14 side to interact with it

Aka Hildebrand

[hardy acorn]

Obviously not the dev team's fault. I'm entirely blaming management. If it was such an issue resource-wise, then throw it in 6.0 or 6.1. Cutting it entirely is crap.

[floral aurora]

I wouldn't mind something new

Sometimes its good for some new material

[hardy acorn]

I'm talking about Beast Tribes, not Hildi. Hildi is obviously way more effort

[pine epoch]

The devs have confirmed hildy will return in EW or atleast hildy is recharged

They dont want to do hildy every expac because it becomes stale af and they have a hard time writing material for it

[floral aurora]

Hope it's funny

[carmine basin]

Iirc they are hiring. But they're a big company with probably high standards, and finding people that fit those standards is probably not easy, and training new people would take even more time

It's probably not as simple as you think

[pine epoch]

You need to live in japan

To be hired at square enix.

[hardy acorn]

Last I heard, Yoshi said "We would but there's no one applying" or something taking time to train them.

Which to me just seemed like excuses not to spend more on hires.

[hexed pumice]

So, Everyone ready for the store to immediately crash? 🙃

[wind bough]

If they didn’t want to spend on hires they wouldn’t be advertising open positions 👀

[sour geyser]

Don't bring logic into their witch hunt of the devs :3 lol

[brave cape]

Has the fanfest happened?

[hardy acorn]

Witch hunt of Squeenix* Thank you very much

[wind bough]

No

[grave raft]

im waiting for the store to open but not gonna buy one yet

[brave cape]

Was bout to ask if I missed something lol

[carmine basin]

https://www.jp.square-enix.com/recruit/career/english/

[hexed pumice]

I'm only up for the orchs, plan to buy 2 full sets of the 3 packs

[carmine basin]

Feel free to apply to help them

[grave raft]

im just there to fill up the queue

[wind bough]

It’s like 17 hours away

[hexed pumice]

unless god forbid they're somehow account bound but I doubt that

they're never account bound 😢

depending on price I might have to wait to buy the second set

120 seconds peeps

[pine epoch]

Maint is late

It should be done reeeee

[hexed pumice]

prolly preparing for the fucking onslaught of people after the whale

or at least trying to XD

[grave raft]

hunt trains would be full of whales, actual whales

[carmine basin]

Mount should be account wide at least, never bought minions

[hexed pumice]

60

[sour geyser]

It'll be like a carvan of buses

[hexed pumice]

here we go owo

[hardy acorn]

Not my skillset personally. Regardless, if it was purely a training issue, it was shortsighted for them not to hire more help early into the delay knowing they were on the hook for both an expansion and a new port.

[hexed pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

anddddd prices are....

[sour geyser]

It cant be that hard to train people remotely and expect quality I'm sure.

[hexed pumice]

....store no load

Y U LATE SE

[pine epoch]

42 dollars for whale

[grave raft]

oooooh

[pine epoch]

But it's on sale for 35 70

[gaunt star]

Wait wtf thars so cheap

[floral aurora]

Reminds me of that movie jingle all the way where he breaks in that radio station lol

[hardy acorn]

$35 is way less than I expected.

[wind bough]

That’s nice

[gaunt star]

Less rhan chocobo mount LMAOOO

[rain onyx]

Because it’s on sale.

[floral aurora]

I can picture fans breaking into the company lol

[tulip geyser]

Inc store crash

[hardy acorn]

Choco carriage is $36 normally?

[floral aurora]

That fake? Don't play with my emotions!

[hardy acorn]

That's only a $6 difference.. lol

[gaunt star]

Tfw half of max cost i expected
I see this as a win

[hardy acorn]

Ugh, those minions are pricy.

[hexed pumice]

for full orch set OW http://puu.sh/HGuR7/5a97df9282.png

[hardy acorn]

At least they're account-wide

[grave raft]

ahhhh yes rival wings grind again

[floral aurora]

Its not even 40 dollars!

[hexed pumice]

96 bucks my soul

[grave raft]

i might buy the mount first time buying an item in mog

[hexed pumice]

😢

[hardy acorn]

I was hoping the minions would come in a discounted set at least.

[hexed pumice]

orchs y u gotta be so expensive

[hardy acorn]

The bands are shrewd negotiators lol

[austere badge]

Are the mounts and minions fanfest exclusive? Or do they stay after this period

[rain onyx]

They’ll stay.

[sour geyser]

whale was cheaper than I thought it'd be. Might have enough to throw one at my friend too.

[austere badge]

Ah then no stress to buy the minions

[hardy acorn]

Not sure. The last Fanfest mount is freely available.

[hexed pumice]

'cheaper'

[austere badge]

I'll probably get the mount.

[hexed pumice]

still like $50 CAD 😢

i hate my currency to death

[shell merlin]

tf is CAD

[hexed pumice]

canadian dollar

[shell merlin]

darn it canada!

[hexed pumice]

and from what I understand, just the sale prices will be exclusive

for 1 month ish

[shell merlin]

WHERE is muh whale

[hardy acorn]

Yeah, the wording implies they'll stay around. Forget the minions then

[hexed pumice]

dead, on a beach

🤣

[subtle pasture]

Created by Garlond Ironworks, this magitek craft is designed in the likeness of the star-faring airship of Mysidian myth, which in turn was designed in the likeness of a whale. Capable of bearing you and seven companions in comfort and style, no one need be left behind again.

[gaunt star]

gets error when paying
Payment goes through on card
Store error

[subtle pasture]

Mysidia?

[gaunt star]

Monka

[hexed pumice]

Idk about the whale. Its just hype imo XD you can't even see yourself when IN it

[floral aurora]

Lunar Whale purchased!

[shell merlin]

@hexed pumice you onyl say that cuz its so costly in cad

[hexed pumice]

nah I like to see my character is all

[gaunt star]

Yuh, the town in FF4 with Wizards

[shell merlin]

you are the whale

[floral aurora]

I'm shocked there wasn't no issues getting it. Thought there be site issues on some trying to buy it

[hexed pumice]

I don't wanna be a whale XD

[shell merlin]

im waiting to get it atm

[hardy acorn]

Yeah, I imagine that might have been due to technical limitations or something. I thought that was lame too. I'll still get it though.

[subtle pasture]

2 and 4, it seems. Must be in Thavnair, I'd imagine

[hexed pumice]

fucking ow though, nearly $100 down the toilet to the orchs

[hardy acorn]

Also it's a 15% off sale

[gaunt star]

The site really do be crashed for me huh

[floral aurora]

I'm logged in the game, how long do I have to wait? Its been awhile since I bought a mount

[gaunt star]

The mount is from FFIV and it’s a reference to the town where it’s summoned, likely has absolutely nothing to do with XIV

[gaunt star]

Depends on "server strain" i think. Usually its within an hour but sometimes it can be multiple

[floral aurora]

Damn

[subtle pasture]

Yes... but it has to have been inspired from somewhere in the story of 14,

[gaunt star]

Yeah can be up to 24 hours

[floral aurora]

I guess I'll check back after Fanfest

[hexed pumice]

worked fine for crysta for me

[gaunt star]

Ahhhh i cant click on my name to check my history. So annoying

[subtle pasture]

like the SD Fenrir was used by couriers of a defunct delivery service in Ilsabard (Strife Deliveries, ofc)

[hexed pumice]

groans at that 'lore'

the hell would cloud be doin delivering mail lol

or his grandkids prolly

[shell merlin]

@floral aurora ima be honest

its gonna prob not come to you soon

[subtle pasture]

He was doin' courier work in Advent Children,
running away from his problems and making coin while doing it

[floral aurora]

Should be in my mail after Fanfest

[sour geyser]

I'm just picturing a handful of moogles trying to figure out how to deliver something that large

[hexed pumice]

definitely force it via moogle mail, sometimes helps

[hardy acorn]

I'll probably rock this whale until the Regalia finally comes back and then save it for big parties. You can see people in the car at least.

[austere badge]

Man i want the regalia too

[hexed pumice]

yeah, gimme the Regalia for my lala

[wind bough]

Given that the whole world are currently ordering the whale, expect the delivery time to be longer due to the queue in the mail system

[hexed pumice]

she needs her license >:V

[hardy acorn]

I guarantee that the FFXV event will be rerun during the "dead time" between 5.55 and 6.0

[hexed pumice]

thats a big guarantee

[grave raft]

lala doesn't even step on the gas and break when riding the regalia

[hexed pumice]

you sure you can deliver on that

[hardy acorn]

I think 4.5 to 5.0 was when they ran it the first time

[gaunt star]

Was alongside make it rain

[hexed pumice]

it would make a good pairing with Make It Rain imo

[hardy acorn]

And we're confirmed to get MIR during the summer this year

Pre-6.0.

[hexed pumice]

shakes delivery moogle GIVE ME MY ORCHS YOU FURRY BASTARD

[gaunt star]

bruh... the payment didnt go through and it still ate my money

[hexed pumice]

LOL

thats why I paypal/crysta only. never have had an issue.

only ever had an issue with trying to use prepaid credit

SE don't like prepaid credit.

[sour geyser]

My paypal is so secure, nothing will take it lol

[gaunt star]

it was a debit card lol

[floral aurora]

Yeah PayPal only for online transactions. Learned that the hard way with Ebay

[pine epoch]

Well Cid and the ironworks created the lunar whale @subtle pasture

[hexed pumice]

Remember that the mog tome event is live now too

time to farm hell againnnn

[floral aurora]

New dog?

[hexed pumice]

new lots of things.

[narrow ember]

Shiver emote

[subtle pasture]

Right, but they took inspiration from a mythical spaceship,

[hexed pumice]

Sweat emote too, and fancy hairs

and floating head mount lol

[floral aurora]

Going to be busy this month xD

[shell merlin]

@gaunt star i doubt it took teh money, its prob processing but not approved

[dim sigil]

Is whale out?

[gaunt star]

Yup

it took it

[hexed pumice]

I'll prolly farm the Shinryu mount cuz hassle otherwise

[hardy acorn]

MIR 2019 was June. I imagine they will speak about it and the rerun during the LL.

[dim sigil]

How much is it

[gaunt star]

£24

i checked my account and the money got taken out sooo

[floral aurora]

Yes, but might have to wait a bit after you buy the whale

[hexed pumice]

36USD

[pine epoch]

Created by Garlond Ironworks, this magitek craft is designed in the likeness of the star-faring airship of Mysidian myth, which in turn was designed in the likeness of a whale. Capable of bearing you and seven companions in comfort and style, no one need be left behind again.

Maybe mysidian is a town in sharlayan or thavnair?

[hexed pumice]

$47 Canadian

[dim sigil]

Not as pricey as i expected

[floral aurora]

Yeah I was shocked

[dim sigil]

Still a lot tho

[hexed pumice]

42USD after sale ends

[dim sigil]

Oh there it is

[floral aurora]

Some had me worried, saying it would cost $80

[subtle pasture]

From current speculations my guess would make Mysidia a civilization that lived on the Sharlayan isle before the Sixth Astral

[hexed pumice]

that'd def deter sales

[subtle pasture]

That, orrrr Somewhere™️ in Ilsabard or Thavnair.

[pine epoch]

Mysidia would fit Sharlayan due to both being towns of mages

And palom and porom come from mysidia and are twins. Like our alphy and alisae

[gaunt star]

I am glad to be UK tho, all mogstation stuff is cheaper here

[hardy acorn]

How much is it there?

[floral aurora]

SE: Sir, you wouldn't believe how many people purchased the Lunar Whale...
Boss: Nani!!??? Maybe we should've charged more

[gaunt star]

£24/$33

[carmine basin]

If ppl are buying it's because they priced it lower lol

[hexed pumice]

murders Delivery Moogle and walks off due to not having her orchs yet

[subtle pasture]

$91.77 usd for the whole package

[floral aurora]

Lmao

[subtle pasture]

I'll prob just nab the whale and one roll set, realistically speaking, was just checking the whole shebang

[hardy acorn]

It's because it's cheaper than the carriage a lot of people already bought, while holding twice the people

[hexed pumice]

I wanna know if Whale has unique music or not

[wind bough]

But how often do you actually need to ferry 7 people

[grave raft]

thats like 10 bottles of fantasia

[hexed pumice]

Maps

[subtle pasture]

"It's $35..." "It's $35 on sale."

[floral aurora]

Lunar Whale sold out digitally
Fans: How is that possible!?

[weary quiver]

i seriously thought that this would be an attending package with all the mentioned items
didn't think it would be sold separately

[hexed pumice]

Bozja/Eureka

[grave raft]

thats nothing for whales in the game

[wind bough]

It’s much faster for everyone to ride their own mount

[tropic frigate]

that mount is pretty terrible for its full price

[soft gyro]

wdym, its 8 seats

[tropic frigate]

keep this in mind because the price really is terrible when an expansion is 40

[hexed pumice]

mount up time

[wind bough]

The extra seats don’t really add that much value

[floral aurora]

Bozja

[hexed pumice]

thats why, delay in taking off immediately

[soft gyro]

its basically 4 dollar per seat

[gaunt star]

I got the whale and minions for £36/$50 so I’m happy, I was expecting £50-£55/$70-$77

[shell merlin]

I been trying the piano band and pulse songs

really like the pianos and pulse ones

[wind bough]

Everyone has to right click and go through menu into seat numbers

[hexed pumice]

it could be neat if you have friends when EW comes out, you can all fly together lol

[subtle pasture]

Time to check what the roll sets are exactly,

[hexed pumice]

invisibly, cuz ya know, you got ate

[wind bough]

And if someone else takes same seat number you have to try again

[dawn wave]

the whale mount isn't for efficiency, it's just fun flying 7 friends around

[grave raft]

helping newbies in nn to get the aether currents can be helpful lol

[floral aurora]

Musical chairs lol

[wind bough]

Yeah exactly it’s just novelty

[gaunt star]

No they don’t

[pine epoch]

In terms of free spending money for dumb internet things. I dont got the cash for the whale. That's gonna wait till like next week

[hexed pumice]

BUT WHATS IT MUSIC

[hardy acorn]

I thought the same. I'm glad it's separate but that means that I'm gonna have to skip on the minions because they're not part of a discounted passage

[edgy gale]

Congested hunt trains are going to be a sight to see tomorrow.

[winter junco]

How long does it take for the mail to arrive with the mount and the minions?

[wind bough]

So not worth that much more

[hexed pumice]

AYEEE mog mail

[gaunt star]

It puts you in the next available slot

[hardy acorn]

It's a good value because it's only $6 more than a 4 seater at full price

[hexed pumice]

http://puu.sh/HGv5d/bc916c310e.png

[wind bough]

Ain’t how it worked when regalia came out

[pine epoch]

The whale plays a remix of its theme song from FF4

[hexed pumice]

ding ding

[gaunt star]

That’s how it works with Regalia now

[hexed pumice]

forced mog delivery 4 times, seemed to help XD

[hardy acorn]

And it's account-wide. The novelty is easily worth the difference

[wind bough]

We’re not talking about the current price

[dawn wave]

it's not like it's a useful item or anything essential, which is why the price doesn't bother me all that much

[wind bough]

Rather about people saying it should have cost more than it does

[hexed pumice]

bruh. the store literally used to be under 'OPTIONAL ITEMS' on mog

ofc its not essential

[open verge]

Did this seriously happen

[hexed pumice]

yes 🤡

[tropic frigate]

but the mount could be in the game instead of the station

[gaunt star]

I was expecting it to be more, I’m happy it wasn’t ^.^
And all the stuff in the store is optional, none of it is ‘needed’ or ‘necessary’

[hardy acorn]

The carriage is $36, the whale (at full price) is $42. Sale or not, it's good value (comparatively).

The sale just means it's a better value.

[tropic frigate]

i better see a free 8 man at some point for free

[buoyant obsidian]

They did say the whale mount is like a optional ticket for fanfest..

[soft gyro]

sad, people who don't have a personal chocobo mount yet can't use it 😦

[gaunt star]

Why?

[floral aurora]

Nooooo I'm joking lol but there is probably a lot buying it right now

[open verge]

How much is it

[floral aurora]

35

[tropic frigate]

because its exactly what many complain about with other mmo online stores and how its unique

[floral aurora]

Its on sale

[gaunt star]

Cheaper mount means bye bye sally's ps3 cpu

[open verge]

Yea there should be a free obtainable 8 seater mount so peopl chase an option

[hexed pumice]

cranks Pulse remixes in her house

[tropic frigate]

and they could easily add these in game but decide to put it on the store

[gaunt star]

Well yes, it’s unique because it’s for fanfest

[soft gyro]

also limited

[tropic frigate]

and not only this but we have been getting less and less unique gear too and im wondering if its been getting more added to mogstation

[gaunt star]

They couldn’t sell tickets to fanfest, so they added an item for fanfest

[soft gyro]

also it's 8 seater, soo. if it would be free too many people would have them

[hexed pumice]

nah it won't be limited, just the sale is lol

[gaunt star]

If theres a free 8 seater it has to be obtainable in something really worthwhile

Like ultimate

Yeah would be a Savage raid, like the 4seater

[hardy acorn]

I was going to say Ultimate too

[tropic frigate]

it could just not even be worthwhile they could just do it a limited time for the fanfest event going on in game

[gaunt star]

Wouldn’t lock it behind ultimate

[floral idol]

l o l laziness huh

[gaunt star]

E4s is a four seater. Delubrum savage is a four seater

[floral aurora]

Doesn't this mean there's even less reasons to get that Mentor roulette mount? Lol

[dawn wave]

the devs actually use the money to fund stuff for the game, so it's whatever. and it doesnt give any true advantage lol ... if anything something like that big is annoying as fuck to fly around small spaces

[subtle pasture]

I can't find the Scions & Sinners Insatiable to preview anywhere

[gaunt star]

Its in game silly just go into any shb dungeon

[hardy acorn]

Just wait for people to post them on YT later today

[buoyant obsidian]

I rather buy this mount then spend money on lootboxes for a chance to get the mount lmao

[gaunt star]

The Cerberus?

[floral aurora]

Wait? Those rolls are stuff I already got? Not remixes?

[subtle pasture]

The Scions & Sinners versions are not in game, nor the Pulse mixes

[gaunt star]

Yes

[tropic frigate]

sure the mount provides no advantage but its bugging me for what it is

[floral aurora]

Oh okay

[gaunt star]

I didn’t know that was a four seater! I needs it now XD

[floral idol]

why would it bug you

[gaunt star]

Well, need it much more!

[floral idol]

it's literally to support them for the fact they're doing a free fanfest this year

[tropic frigate]

i also find is suspicious that the money even goes towards the game because how would we know?

[gaunt star]

Im surprised most people dont realise its 4 seater, thar was half the appeal of me wanting it

[hardy acorn]

An eight seater is enough of a luxury I'm ok with it being gated behind an Ult, like 4 seaters are gated behind Savages. Maybe an FFXVI crossover can have an 8 seater, lol

[tropic frigate]

a company is a company

[gaunt star]

There's also a mogstation version of a four seater
And the Regalia which was an old event (that they should bring back aaaaaa)

[soft gyro]

next mount in savage 16 seater 🤤

[floral idol]

yeah and an event that would normally sell a whole lot of tickets turns into a free online event which won't generate them any other money.

[tropic frigate]

and were they kinda against returning the xv event for some off reason?

[hardy acorn]

I think the cash shop is overpriced as shit in general. I just think this is a good value compared to their track record, and yes you can argue that we're paying them for fanfest

[tropic frigate]

maybe they want to not return it so it can make money through the mogstation

[gaunt star]

They’re returning it

[hardy acorn]

Though they have sponsors fwiw. I wonder if there will be ads

[soft gyro]

it's not like the mount gives any ingame benefits anyway, its literally a whale for whalers.

[gaunt star]

If they do its no skin off my teeth. There's already e4s and drs mount in game which are free versions

[floral idol]

if they sold that regalia mount on mogstation i would happily buy that in an instant tbh

[tropic frigate]

i got it from when it was an event

[gaunt star]

Probably same, better than the chocobo one

Be me
Clear e4s 7 times
Don’t have mount
Cry

[tropic frigate]

and made sure not to miss everything else

[hexed pumice]

What Angel Wakes Me (Pulse Remix) Forever Playing. XD

[swift kraken]

shouldve cleared it 8 times idiot

[gaunt star]

Yup, but my Static broke apart

[hexed pumice]

song not included for obvious reasons

[hardy acorn]

Nah, I do think there should be some sort of eight seater earnable as an alternative, I'm just cool with it being locked behind an Ult. At least the free option is there and the whales who shell out for the whale won't feel like they wasted their money

[tropic frigate]

they do a pretty good job making unique mounts for free though like the robot dragon is a massive looking flex compared to the others to me

[gaunt star]

I didn’t waste my money, I got an item that was released for fanfest ^.^

[tropic frigate]

i honestly thought the mount was gonna follow a pattern and be the shb world boss

[gaunt star]

Dude... Formidable mount

Thatd be so sick

[hardy acorn]

I'm hyped for Cruise Chaser. I am gonna laugh so hard if it's the TT reward

[gaunt star]

Ughhhh I just need to keep farming Diamond for my mechaderpydragon

[soft gyro]

i don't even have 7 friends to carry

[hardy acorn]

I just don't see it being a Mog item after them releasing this whale

[tropic frigate]

im definitely doing TT if cruise is in that

[gaunt star]

Laughs in having diamond mount
Sad in no emerald mount

[tropic frigate]

i been farming tt a lot

[buoyant obsidian]

dude same. Emerald is my last mount and I'm on 79 totems already

[pine epoch]

Well yoshida said zadnor will have a reward everyone would want. Sooo

[gaunt star]

I got 101 then quit

[tropic frigate]

they need more mounts from long grinds or certain milestones of em

[gaunt star]

Im waiting til 5.55 fck that

[kind lark]

A new hairstyle

[gaunt star]

Is that it?
Took me 136 SoS and 124 Emeralds XD

[subtle pasture]

CC mount-- hopefully

[hardy acorn]

Yoshi said TT people would also get a big surprise, big enough that they refused to say what it was

[grave raft]

the cruise chaser mount i guess

[gaunt star]

I got diamond in 58 totems

[grave raft]

collect all the tt cards, get that mount

[tropic frigate]

i hope it doesnt mean tt cards end

[gaunt star]

29 runs?! So lucky!

Yea

[hardy acorn]

My guess is it will be the next "Have XXX TT Cards" achievement

[gaunt star]

Then again, got Seiryu in 3 runs 😂😂

Then i got hades/inno/ruby mount in the same day

Thsts why i roll below 30 in savage

[tropic frigate]

yea i was thinking that

[hardy acorn]

I think the next milestone is 330

[tropic frigate]

but the tt tourneys would be a pain if it needs absolutely all

PAIN

[hardy acorn]

I have like 296 lol

292/322*

Most from dungeons and trials. My only roadblock is the Eureka ones 😡

[tropic frigate]

my roadblock is savage content ones like miseria since i stopped for a good bit of months

[chrome sundial]

First time able to part of fan fest..I just got a notification about in game items and wonder what you gotta do to get them

[gaunt star]

Money money money~

[tropic frigate]

i am only tempted by the piano ones

[gaunt star]

Gotta pay that dolla

[tropic frigate]

also if they use these songs for ultimate its such a good change of pace so long as it isnt pulse

[chrome sundial]

I had a feeling lol

[gaunt star]

It’s because it’s a free fanfest this year, so they have some exclusive items on sale ^.^

[chrome sundial]

Ob do you have to pay usually for them? Like blizzcon virtual ticket thingy,

[tropic frigate]

didnt they do it even before where you had to buy clouds bike and minions unless you went to the fanfest? and they give us an event with basically nothing new in game

[gaunt star]

Yep, used to get the stuff with the ticket or if you couldn’t go to the fan fests you could buy the items

[gaunt star]

More like it’s usually a physical event held in three places, America, Japan and Europe

[chrome sundial]

I'm excited to see what we get. New job hypeeeee

[tropic frigate]

there may be quite a lot of information you'll see

assuming they arent splitting any info to a future date or E3

[gaunt star]

Yeah seeing as it’s only one this year, rather than the usual three

[tropic frigate]

whatever they could do

[gaunt star]

If XIV is present at E3 its probably just the skill trailer

[dim sigil]

Gonna be a spoiler filled e3 trailers likly tho

[chrome sundial]

I imagine e3 will be XVI and forspoken

[tropic frigate]

launch trailer would be cool e3 wise and ff16

[gaunt star]

We are ‘technically’ in the time period for when the Euro fanfest would be held, the last of the three

[stuck yarrow]

Ugh I want XVI stuff so bad

[tropic frigate]

i dont really have interest in forspoken yet

[chrome sundial]

Do we usually get 5.6/5.65 news at these

[dim sigil]

Untill we see real gameplay really i think

[tropic frigate]

yea

[stuck yarrow]

There usually isn’t a .6

[gaunt star]

No 5.6

[tropic frigate]

yea it skips to 6.0

[gaunt star]

x.x8 is the last patch

[chrome sundial]

The small snippt they showed was cool at least. Mostly the reason it has my attention is because it's another ps5 exclusive

[stuck yarrow]

I’ve been doing a countdown thing to E3 and am going to look like a damn clown if they don’t show XVI

[gaunt star]

Yeah 5.55 is the last “bigger” patch, then we go to 5.56-7-8 then 6.0

[tropic frigate]

and supposedly datacenter travel for the last update but not totally confirmed ||but might as well be||

[gaunt star]

I wouldn't expect XVI in E3

Yeah the steam leak

Its confirmed for 5.58 Sed

Oh they confirmed it?

They wont release such a feature with Endwalker, cause that would lead to a disastrous launch anyway

Because before the steam leak it was 6.0 and later

[chrome sundial]

Oh we might get it before EW?

[tropic frigate]

yea but it could always be somewhere after if they want to and doesnt mean it has to specifically be endwalker

[austere badge]

Can you actuslly do this with the full party? All dismount fir gpose but the whale is still there

[gaunt star]

Cant wait for some loose ffxvi stans to come in here asking for news during...xiv fanfest

They announced it during Endwalkers reveal, they didn't say anything about "coming in 6.0"

They did

[gaunt star]

No

[austere badge]

Kk 🤣

[stuck yarrow]

Yoshida made a mistake talking about the XVI site in the live letter after the trailer

[tropic frigate]

yea they announced it during during the special announcements but dont recall a date

[chrome sundial]

I'm betting either sonys next big event or e3.

[stuck yarrow]

It’s set a dangerous precedent

[carmine basin]

That's a promo image, and someone else can be riding the whale while everyone else poses

[austere badge]

I see

[gaunt star]

E3 is just going to be 10 hours of the rachet and clank game. Because that’s apparently the only thing they focus on at all

@gaunt star understandable. Its awesome

Well they're testing it in 5.58

To me it looks like trash but ok

I grew up with that series

[chrome sundial]

I wonfer what the gold saucer updates are

[tropic frigate]

o tru it could be a test until its fully functional and its just a "release" during 6.0 or whenever doesnt really matter

[gaunt star]

Mhm, was set to come sometime in endwalker tho, not Shadowbringers ^.^

Gold saucer grinding is now a requirement for the new alliance raid

Will they finally announce removal of Lalas

Everyone still wants Blitzball

I can do without it

I say everyone, I’m not that arsed

I’m more excited for island housing savage

[sturdy kettle]

is the fanfest moogle farming open already? or it starts in a later time?

[gaunt star]

I dont even care about blitzball. People would do it for 1 week and then forget it exists

Two hours ago :3

[tropic frigate]

bro im gonna be in so much pain if i cant get a house

[gaunt star]

Take paracetamol then

Island sanctuary you mean?

[chrome sundial]

I hope for more veira respect

[gaunt star]

Or Ishgard housing XD

What’s a Viera

Meeeeee

A pair of maso Rabbits

[chrome sundial]

fist bump

[gaunt star]

\o/

I hope for character creator update

[tropic frigate]

they better fix everything

[subtle pasture]

!minion wind-up edge

[lusty shadow]

Wind-up Edge

Legends tell of Edward Geraldine, the ninja prince who assumed the name Edge, presumably because it sounded more impressive. Rumors have it that “Edward” was already taken by another figure in the tale, and there cannot be two people sharing the same name─ it just gets confusing.

[gaunt star]

They're not adding new races

In fact, Au Ra will be deleted

Or genders

Well Yoshi P said so but community = deaf

[tropic frigate]

yoshi p = lies

[gaunt star]

Add malebuns and femhroth and break them too

Thats what will happen regardless chaos

Add bangaa

That'll teach them

More hair please 😭

People wont like it then cry about it.

[rain onyx]

I'd rather Viera and Hrothgar get "fixed" before adding the opposite gender equivalents with the same shortcomings

[tropic frigate]

exactly

[gaunt star]

Might as well put the resources on better things

They should add male buns and make them ugly so ppl get mad

[carmine basin]

I just want more hair SE pls

[gaunt star]

Put all resources from the limited races into literally any other content

They should add them as the lizard race from shbs fanfests

[tropic frigate]

but the devs could easily surprise us because so many complained can you imagine

[inner kite]

If they add more hair, I can imagine it being mogstore special

[tropic frigate]

would be a mess of the races

[gaunt star]

People will buy then regardless @inner kite

Actually I would love to see mogstation exclusive Hrothgar hair. Scam them even harder they deserve it!!

[subtle pasture]

"limited races," "fix them,"
me, chillin' with my boy

[gaunt star]

There's people willing to pay 100 bucks for the lunar whale even

I mean wouldn’t you??

[median swan]

;(

[tropic frigate]

hrothgar need some work around so they can switch their hair for their current face at least

[gaunt star]

Ofc i would not

I would cause it’s only one life we got to live

Do i buy an ugly nostalgic Mount or 2 new games?

2 new games ofc

Buy me some takeaway instead

No

[winter junco]

can there be a slim chance that they will say something about the mount regalia today?

[subtle pasture]

what currency is it 100

[tropic frigate]

i would rather buy endwalker than the whale

[floral aurora]

Too early

[gaunt star]

Regalia will probably be re released sometime during the summer drought

[inner kite]

I sure hope so, but who knows

[gaunt star]

The mount will probably not cost over 45-60

Just saw some discussions people are willing to go up to 100

[inner kite]

Lunar whale is 28 euro

[gaunt star]

If it would cost that much

Yuh it’s £24

[floral aurora]

Curious what name will be of that Reaper Job

[tropic frigate]

im gonna guess either hunter or reaper

[floral aurora]

Necromancer? What's a Necromancer?

[gaunt star]

@floral aurora "No Comment"

[subtle pasture]

It's 35 usd on the current sale, yeah

[gaunt star]

Demon Hunter

[floral aurora]

Love that shirt he had xD

[gaunt star]

Same specially when i saw peoples reaction to it

[tropic frigate]

also people seemed to relate the shirts to rock music but im not sure how many is rock music

[gaunt star]

Anyway they played around with "Necromancer" too much so it probably aint it

[floral aurora]

Sucks it starts at 9PM here

[subtle pasture]

They specifically shut down Necromancer at the announcement showcase,

[gaunt star]

2am gang rise up

Bro it starts 4 am for me

[inner kite]

3am

[rare sinew]

9am /smug

[subtle pasture]

well, not shut down, but acknowledged it as a speculated class and shook their heads

[tropic frigate]

8pm for me

[rare sinew]

At work

[gaunt star]

I here o/

Its gundam class

Reminder to not use headphones in case we get ear shattering audio issues again

THE BEES

[tropic frigate]

sorry i gotta

[gaunt star]

Its 4 am ill use headphones

Shatter my ears daddy p

[tropic frigate]

they'll hopefully have an easy time

[floral aurora]

[gaunt star]

#NeverForget

[wind bough]

I want techdaddy to return

[floral aurora]

Have anyone seen him sense that incident? Lol

[wind bough]

no

[gaunt star]

No

[floral aurora]

I haven't lol

[gaunt star]

Yoshi P sacrificed him to the CEO

[floral aurora]

Damn...kind of felt bad for him

[gaunt star]

He will be fine, square enix isnt blizzard you wont get fired randomly

[cosmic herald]

I wish they had Grimoire Weiss minion

[gaunt star]

There’s a mod for that actually

[craggy pawn]

I am really excited for the full EW trailer

[gaunt star]

Is it normal that I didnt get any email or there isnt anything in payment history after I bought the whale?

[onyx sage]

it's not instant, especially during sale / new stuff

[gaunt star]

Yeah but its been a good while now

Like 40 minutes?

[hushed rose]

they said there were gonna be longer delays than usual

[rain onyx]

Also account-wide stuff usually takes longer to receive.

like expect account-wide mounts to take an hour or so after purchase for them to appear in the mail.

[gaunt star]

Yeah but nothing in my email or SE accounts

[wind bough]

Yeah then something's wrong

you sure you actually uhhh...bought it?

[gaunt star]

Yes

[teal geyser]

Price?

[wind bough]

$35.70 USD

[dim sigil]

For now

[teal geyser]

Pass

[wind bough]

£23.80

[dim sigil]

Its released on sale

Price will go up after

[teal geyser]

Oh God

Don't try to force me SE. I just won't buy it ever

[wind bough]

to £28.00 / $42

[somber storm]

Buy it

You want to whale

[wind bough]

Not a big fan of not being able to see my char on it tbh

[heady shadow]

shame they dont have a Jonah pun for it, seems fitting xD

[gaunt star]

It’s kinda sad though that it’s a cash shop mount and not part of the story like in ffiv

[dim sigil]

Gotta make that extra $

Imagine how much more cash this is pouring in

[tiny wind]

alright im not paying 28 bucks for a mount lmao

[heady shadow]

enough to fund the rest of ffxvi and ff7r part 2

[leaden fog]

it's a lot cheaper than I thought it was gonna be tbh

[tiny wind]

ill just ride others mounts

[dim sigil]

Fund bun hats

[gaunt star]

Fund marvels avengers

[heady shadow]

need to fund me to fix my sleeping habitd

[dusk slate]

how many alphinaud glamoured sages do you think are going to be in the next expansion?

[kind lark]

Viera hats when?

[dim sigil]

Its 3am and still awake oh boy

Tho was hanging with sibling and drank much caffine so yeah

[gaunt star]

Yeah the money did go through but still no email or anything in history

Is there an SE support or smth or should I just wait

[dim sigil]

Give it some time i guess

[gaunt star]

If I remember correctly an interview earlier this year deconfirmed Viera hats officially

[wind bough]

spam folder?

[gaunt star]

Nope

[wind bough]

And ensure it's the right email for the right account

[gaunt star]

Yes, and I made sure I did it in the correct mogstation

Actually..

I did get a website error message, but the payment went through, is there an SE support I can call?

[wind bough]

https://support.na.square-enix.com/main.php?la=1&id=5382

[gaunt star]

Appreciate it

[graceful elk]

The lunar whale will be on the mog station forever right? Or just this fanfest?

[wind bough]

forever

it's just discounted during fanfest.

[graceful elk]

Ah

[gaunt star]

I sent the customer support thing, guess I wont be able to ride the mount in Mor Dhona today

[steep coral]

Wait,is lunar out already?

[gaunt star]

?

Damn that mount is too expensive

[wind bough]

yes

and it's the same price as the chocobo carriage

[tiny wind]

i wanna pre-order EW already reeeeeee

[wind bough]

at least during the sale

[gaunt star]

I wanna play EW already reeeeeeee

[dusk slate]

idk what to do to waste time until the festival starts

Time Until Digital Fan Festival 2021:

[hushed aspen]

Oh thank god... I'm not late

Thank You, the 1st panel/show etc.. will be about END ?

In 13 hours ??

[wind bough]

The keynote address will be all the big Endwalker announcements, yes

[dusk slate]

then what's the development panel?

[hushed aspen]

I'm not gonna sleep or my PC

[dusk slate]

oh i see

[hushed aspen]

Thank You Guys 💙💋

I already got my mount and minions 😊

The new job..... omg... its DPS... omg omg omg

[wind bough]

Development panels talk about content that already exists ingame and the dev process.

[hushed aspen]

I want to see it all, I did since HW.. too bad I missed ARR's since I stated 8 years ago late ARR

[gaunt star]

what do you think it will be

are we allowed to send screenshots here

[faint dagger]

So fanfest starts at 2am. Odds of knowing what the new job is in under half an hour?

[hushed aspen]

I don't mind anything but... I saw zeros cutscene just 4 days ago and my sub ended.... I feel like that hidden weapon might be the job or related to it

Zenos*****

SAGE is amazz9ng

Omg... I'm hyper

I need to distract myself 😖

[wind bough]

probably under 1 hour

[gaunt star]

They talked a bit about 6.0 before they talked about Sage

[tropic frigate]

i easily distract myself with rhythm games

[wind bough]

https://fanfest.finalfantasyxiv.com/2021/eu/activity/eorzeacafe-at-home/#sky-blue-dye fan fest site has a tutorial on how to make cream with blue food colouring in it

[gaunt star]

here is what i think the new dps will look like if it has a scythe

[hushed aspen]

I dont know anything about FF4 unfortunately... too bad for me, Edge looks kinda cool

[graceful elk]

wouldn't surprised if it was the first trailer/second we got

[hushed aspen]

Noooo way..

[reef quartz]

Oh 😮

[hushed aspen]

Nooo wayyy

Omg ppl will be happy

[wind bough]

Keynote address will start with the full CG trailer.

[gaunt star]

I hope its a scythe, but idk big doubt

[hushed aspen]

That looks soo zenos

[faint dagger]

still on the 'not guaranteed' camp there yeah. my money's on mystic knight/runefencer/spellblade however you want to call it

[gaunt star]

Wouldnt a scythe just be DRK with that blossom scythe

if it is a scythe i will beg for a dark theme healer in the future

[wind bough]

Scythe is all but confirmed, frankly.

[hushed aspen]

Omg those jobs 😍 @faint dagger

[gaunt star]

If its a scythe

[tropic frigate]

it wont be named necromancer

[gaunt star]

I already have the edgy glam from my DRG, because the job shares with DRG
Expect a job that MAIMS

[hushed aspen]

I started FF series late so... I would love new Unique jobs like those three @faint dagger

[faint dagger]

i've seen too many all-but-confirmeds to not be in the camp of 'but what if it isn't though'

[gaunt star]

as long as it’s edgy and magic based i’m fine lol been hoping for scythe for months

[wind bough]

I've seen all the previous fanfest Yoshida shirt all-but-confirmeds

Every one of them has been right.

[terse cargo]

@gaunt star you have dark knight to fit that type of estetic to be fair lol

[faint dagger]

all i know is every time i've put all on black i've been clowned

[gaunt star]

yeah tank wise

[faint dagger]

and it would frankly be really funny if it wasn't

[gaunt star]

if it’s a scythe tho what do you think the NEXT dps will be

[wind bough]

All I know is everytime I've followed the obvious hints from the devs and been certain something was coming, I've been right

[gaunt star]

I saw a theory based on YoshiP's shirt, but I doubt a Templar would use a maiming weapon

[hushed aspen]

Mace and Shield?

[terse cargo]

@faint daggeri mean theres a first time for everything,i remember at the showcase yoshi p pretty much said fans were way off base when sage was announced and teased prior

[gaunt star]

people want hammer or dual swords

What do you expect Lyon?

[faint dagger]

honestly i don't really care, there's no chance of it being beastmaster and i sleep

[wind bough]

I expect a scythe.

[gaunt star]

Hopefully

[wind bough]

I have no bets on what the name of the job will be, but I'm confident it's got a scythe.

[gaunt star]

What does a scythe do?

[wind bough]

cut grass

[terse cargo]

lol

[gaunt star]

Yeah but like, the action

[tulip geyser]

Im kinda glad I dont have a horse in the new class race but the reaction will be interesting.
Do hope its a fun class tho

[faint dagger]

tbh, it could potentially be mystic knight in all but name, only with a scythe. that's not outta the realm of probability

[gaunt star]

<<Swiper>>

[wind bough]

[tropic frigate]

they put a ff spin on scythe like they easily did sage and gg no re done

[kind lark]

Ok, what if the scythe on Zenos' throne is actually Fandaniels and we've been duped?

[gaunt star]

i like that you said shield on dps. if we get anything brand new i actually hope we get things that can go in the offhand for our classes like idk relic/trinkets or something that boost stats that make gameplay of one different from the other

The new job is the job of Zenos in 6.0
100%

[floral aurora]

Well see xD

[gaunt star]

(This channel is still spoilers right?)

[tulip geyser]

Its very spoils

[terse cargo]

@gaunt star edda's weapon they use as glam is a scythe and i think has a swing for that type of weapon. so the basis is already there,they just havent made one as a combat weapon yet

[gaunt star]

Ah okay

[faint dagger]

zenos gets his redemption arc within 5 minutes of 6.0 and then becomes the job quest npc

[kind lark]

Well yeah if you're in here then you're agreeing to be spoiled

[gaunt star]

@terse cargo Yeah but, if you use Edda's scythe on DRK, thats literally a scythe job

[floral aurora]

Can't really spoil 6.0 lol xD

[terse cargo]

the disccusion channel was talking about that theroyr last night,how the new job is what his new weapon would be because of the way they cut off part 1 right at the end,it actually makes sense

[gaunt star]

Yeah but like I meant, this the spoilers channel, as in I can freely talk without spoiler marks

what if in order to play the new scythe class you have to have BOT at 90

@gaunt star Yes plz

[wind bough]

BLM had an astrolabe weapon at level 50, didn't stop astrologian from being a thing.

[gaunt star]

i just want more info on the island life

[wind bough]

has planets revolving around it and everything

[tropic frigate]

they can also just make the scythe more than just a scythe

[gaunt star]

@tiny wind YoshiP talked about it a little bit in an interview with Akhmorn

[tropic frigate]

just like a blade from a gunblade

[gaunt star]

i wanna see the job UI 😦

[tiny wind]

ya saw that

[wind bough]

Similarly, PLD used to have daggers before they were changed into NIN weapons

[gaunt star]

it’s a soul reaper it’s gonna use ascian magic

[tropic frigate]

expect anything basically

[faint dagger]

Oh wait, I forgot to add 'has comparatively worse anims for female characters' to my bingo card

[gaunt star]

Melee user with a magic rotation question mark
A melee variant of RDM

my bingo card is just filled with different expressions from YP

Oh right I need to get a bingo card

Anyone got any?

Wait

I think this is last fanfest

[tropic frigate]

ok but its almost relevant

[gaunt star]

Eeeeh its fine I will just change a few words

Works close enough

add ‘salted earth is removed and replaced with a second combo that ends with a dot’

[tropic frigate]

just make salted earth instant and follow the target you put it on

e z

[gaunt star]

^

[tropic frigate]

it would also be a bit different from the other tanks since they dont have anything quite like it

[torpid yoke]

Thats not something we would see at fanfest

[gaunt star]

PLD does

[tropic frigate]

tru

[gaunt star]

and gnb

[tropic frigate]

technically DoTs count for both pld and gnb but drk should just not be that

[gaunt star]

i sometimes don’t even want a dot on drk i just want more dark looking skills

[tropic frigate]

i miss dark arts

[gaunt star]

my dot is fray 💀

[tropic frigate]

bruh

[wind bough]

bingo card should have SE president interruption on it

[gaunt star]

Lmao

On the last announcement, I think both Koji and Yoshida were annoyed by Matsuda's interruption

[royal spruce]

People shouldn't even be talking about female hrothgar and male Viera until we fix the existing 2

[gaunt star]

And he even said the date for 5.5, but tbh that could have been scripted

[wind bough]

It is scripted.

[torpid yoke]

its always scripted

[wind bough]

That's kinda...very obvious, lol

Why do you think there's a slide prepared

[gaunt star]

There was?

[torpid yoke]

yes

[tropic frigate]

damn so the audio issues were scripted

[gaunt star]

I gotta rewatch it

@terse bolt I bought it, but I didnt receive it yet

[terse bolt]

Oh

[gaunt star]

I got no email, I got nothing in the payment history, but the money did go through

[terse bolt]

Probably just congested

[gaunt star]

I got an error when the transaction ended, so I guess that was the issue, and now I am waiting for a reply from the support team

[terse bolt]

Oh yikes

[thorny sleet]

they will probably say can take up to 24/48h before they can do something

had it happen once myself

[gaunt star]

Was it Error 11000?

To refresh everyone's memories, here are the three hint shirts Yoshida has worn recently: https://cache.mrporter.com/variants/images/665933303938676/in/w2000.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/LAAAAOSwUuRZ3PF2/s-l500.jpg https://preview.redd.it/lfyor1url1r61.jpg?width=468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6d98c3c641de7dd5640a2ff979f56c863d6fa24

The last one's a little blurry, so here's the full-sized version of the same design https://i.redd.it/eq5ziex76n611.jpg

[wet crown]

Obviously, the new DPS is Wedding Peach.

[wind bough]

First one isn't loading 😔

[gaunt star]

Just open it externally

[wet crown]

two spinning rectangles is the hint

[wind bough]

there you go

[signal solar]

guys i still think the new job is blue mage

[wet crown]

[signal solar]

1 shekel

[wind bough]

you're probably right

[wise gazelle]

i think the new job is ghost rider

with nic cage

[gaunt star]

New job is Naruto, abilities are sentences, combos make Talk-no-Jutsu, make the mobs die with friendship power

[signal solar]

okok the new job

its dark knight

[wise gazelle]

oh dang

[signal solar]

maybe samurai

i dont think those are in the game

[wise gazelle]

Okay now you're just talking crazy

They would never put either of those in the game

[signal solar]

i mean we got ninja

[wise gazelle]

Ninja isn't even a real class

[signal solar]

no, rogue is the class

[wise gazelle]

Exactly

[pulsar current]

How likely do people think we’re getting a job actions video tonight?

[signal solar]

100%, if not tomorrow

[wind bough]

whoa they're adding ninja?

[wise gazelle]

I want to watch the fanfest but I'm not caught up on the story lol

[pulsar current]

How do you know, if I can be so bold to ask?

[gaunt star]

I hope its the sage abilities

[wind bough]

Job actions video usually comes later.

[gaunt star]

Why dont you instead be frank? Frank is a good guy

[torpid yoke]

5% likely we get it

[coral kite]

I wana know what SAMs 81-90 abilities are bad

[torpid yoke]

actually nah 1%

[gaunt star]

SAM will probs get a potency increase on the combos

[coral kite]

Mostly curious cause of that and SAM kinda feels like it's already in a very good flow.

[carmine basin]

Keep in mind they want to keep the hype for the new expansion going until release, so they're gonna release info in paces. We're likely not gonna get everything this fanfest

[wind bough]

Most of the major information is expected at this Fan Fest.

Later on we'll get job actions and stuff

[gritty pawn]

Release date and new job is all I need for now

[wind bough]

I just wanna see a world map with Ilsabard uncovered

clouds begone

[gritty pawn]

lewd

[torpid yoke]

tall wish ya got there lyon

[wind bough]

[carmine basin]

It gets replaced with fires instead

[uncut cedar]

gotta love seeing 'SE rips everyone off with mount prices' to "wow, awesome price!" for the lunar whale. lol

[carmine basin]

Bc ppl expected higher

And these same ppl are gonna buy the mount anyway if the price were higher

[clever flume]

i expect 40$

[soft gyro]

i was expecting 80 relatively to how much a seat costs by average sold mounts

[wind bough]

I mean it didn't scale that way for 1seater > 2seater > 4seater mounts soo

[gritty pawn]

Cheaper than the train fare to get to London for the actual fanfest if it went ahead

[wind bough]

1seater $24 > 2seater $30 > 4seater $36 is the precedent we have

So 8seater $42 is a logical progression

now bring on the 24-seater SE

full alliance bus

[soft gyro]

56 seater full BA bus

[gritty pawn]

Nah 72 for Bozja

[topaz zodiac]

nah, it'll be a space shuttle, we're going to the moon afterall

[soft gyro]

you don't need a space shuttle in space, cause there is air everywhere

[wind bough]

yeah just use a bus

save costs

[soft gyro]

bring the fortnite bus

[topaz zodiac]

then dorito in the Endwalker name plate was a lie!

[wind bough]

I mean it's clearly a rectangular thing. Could be a bus

[topaz zodiac]

truuu

[rough kestrel]

I bought the Whale because XIV is a good ass game

[somber storm]

Yes

[distant aurora]

Same. The Whale is super dope

[sterile galleon]

11 and a half hours

[forest magnet]

me too poor for whale

[wet crown]

I don't pay 28 bucks for a mount I'll probably never use

[sterile galleon]

same

[pulsar current]

I got the E4s mount so I’m vibin

[arctic belfry]

Todays the day who is excited

[wet crown]

I'm not cuz the fanfest is at 3 am

I'll be waking up to the news

[pulsar current]

I hope we get a job actions vid tonight

[wet crown]

Nope. Too early.

[arctic belfry]

I don't think we'll get actions

But we will get what new melee is

[wet crown]

extended trailer, new maiming DPS and alliance raid series name

[arctic belfry]

Yea probably

[sterile galleon]

1 am here

[arctic belfry]

Hopefully it's exciting news you wake up too

[wet crown]

I'm sure it is

[craggy pawn]

Same

[pulsar current]

Imagine being in EU

[odd yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/doge-doge-coin-to-the-moon-crypto-cryptocurrency-gif-14563637

[oak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/endwalker-final-fantasy-xiv-ffxiv-gif-20264128

[sterile galleon]

Syke, I'm in EU and NA

[forest magnet]

WoL is now canonically french you can see the emblem on his cape.

[wind bough]

Derplander freezing into that pose looks really dumb ngl

[forest magnet]

the virgin PLD vs the chad DRK

[wind bough]

with the arm straight out

[sterile galleon]

🏔️🌋

[forest magnet]

PLD has the French emblem so it makes even more sense

[sterile galleon]

Fleur de lis?

[oak pike]

That shield looks heavy as shit ngl

[forest magnet]

Yes

[rare sinew]

So... who's buying whale and minions?

[clever flume]

not me, i am poor man

[rigid sapphire]

Awww. 11 hours until the keynote?

[clever flume]

!event

[lusty shadow]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Digital Fan Festival 2021:

11 hours, 8 minutes, 8 seconds

[rigid sapphire]

Thought it was 7AM PST.

Well poop. Now my workday is going to suck. Hahah

[rare sinew]

Just the mount then!

[clever flume]

still too poor

[tulip geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/clock-watch-hurry-up-judge-judy-i-aint-got-time-for-that-gif-5406593
All day

[rare sinew]

Tbh, im not a fan of the minions.
Eyeing up the orchestration rolls too

[crystal arrow]

I'm probably gonna get the mount, tbh

[rough kestrel]

Are Alisaie and Alphinaud going to turn into stone at some point during EW

[proper frigate]

Just spent $70 getting everything new except the minions

Might go back for those after my paycheck

[stiff charm]

why would they

[wind bough]

FF4 twins

[odd yoke]

Cause they got stoned

[rare sinew]

Oh. Are the fanfest mogstatio stuff out already?

[rough kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwt6dc2x5Qw

[odd yoke]

Ye

[wind bough]

yes

[stiff charm]

they better not

[rare sinew]

Damn. Tankbuster on my wallet then

[rough kestrel]

They're CG now, for the first time ever, those kiddos are doing big things this time

"The spell is ineffective, as the twins have become stone out of their own will."

[stiff charm]

[forest magnet]

is this Nier Replicant

[balmy mesa]

but they're on the moon, 1/6 gravity

[rough kestrel]

Yoko writing the twins would be fucked up, one of them would be long dead by now, probably Alisaie, and Alphinaud would have spent all of SHB looking like he did after Arenvald got hurt and we'd only ever see him smile once Estinien joined the Scions

[forest magnet]

they definitely would've fucked

[rough kestrel]

Wh-

[forest magnet]

Do you not remember what happened in Drakengard "Keeping it in the Family."

[crystal arrow]

I know people are absolutely phobic of yoko taro at this point but if he did original, ffxiv content that'd be pretty cool

have him write some questline about mhach or potd or something

[rare sinew]

If Yoko Taro wrote XIV, i can assure you, it'll be a lot less coherent that what we have now. We'll have a seperate audio drama, exclusive in JP that you must get for the complete story

If he designed fights... oh god. Kmagine the fukken chaos

[rough kestrel]

Yoko can do a class quest, have him pick a class he likes and write a 10 level story about it.

[stiff charm]

yoko taro reaper story

[tulip geyser]

A lot more expanding aoe circle orb hells Im sure

[rough kestrel]

Oh shi

Yoko Reaper story would be some good shit

[rare sinew]

A lot more mechanics that are from the other side of the fukken map

[forest magnet]

bullet hell with XIV ping and server ticks sounds like fun

[rare sinew]

Red balls aplenty

[forest magnet]

Rathlos but like 10 times more jank.

[rough kestrel]

(Surprise, it's about botany as a Reaper must bring life into the world to balance the damage of taking it)

[brisk quail]

FANFEST FANFEST

So. Will Koji Fox be there for the fanfest translations?

Or is that just an assumption?

[clever flume]

he will be there most likely since he's one of the two translators that are usually there for events. iirc aimi is in the US

[brisk quail]

So we won't be left in the dark reguardless of location

[clever flume]

also given he did the announcement stream translation, no reason to assume he wont be there

[brisk quail]

Unlike with letter to producer

[wind bough]

There will be official English translation, presumably by Koji as usual

With Aimi Tokutake when another translator is needed

[clever flume]

i mean.... the keynotes are always translated for fanfests

[gritty pawn]

I think Koji has the best interactions with Yoshi and they'd be mad to not use him for that alone

[odd yoke]

We need more koji memes

[brisk quail]

True

And yeah. Koji best boy

[clever flume]

not to mention that event LLs are also generally translated so

[brisk quail]

I need more Koji memes.

[gritty pawn]

Koji's uncomfortable face during the Endwalker event when the SE president came out

[odd yoke]

Koji is just a gift and a madman that KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH THINGS

[brisk quail]

He has the infinite power of language at his fingertips

Not even Yoshida-san can stop him

[drowsy belfry]

https://youtu.be/rQqwG_rQx7A

[bold condor]

Koji is the god-king of weebs. The alpha weeb to which all weebs should aspire.

[oak pike]

Honestly no more belts is hype to me

[tulip geyser]

The rage of getting hella belt drops in a 24 man is over.

[oak pike]

Did the nier raids even have belts?

[tulip geyser]

Hm actually I dont think so

[clever flume]

no

[tulip geyser]

But why not start early

[balmy mesa]

...until there's a new raid gear set and they're all made out of belts

[oak pike]

Lulu dress belts comes to the game

[teal geyser]

Dw in IV they got unstoned

[blissful tide]

!event

[lusty shadow]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Digital Fan Festival 2021:

9 hours, 50 minutes, 3 seconds

[halcyon heart]

Wait....did we ever get ff6 content?
