The story is like A LOT better in the expansion. There's no real completely shitty stuff in the middle like you had in the original, you still sometimes do basic tasks but most of it is fairly epic and it feels a lot longer since it's so condensed instead. Really love what they did with that and...

Both the previous answers are correct, you need to have done the lvl 19 quest to attach materias(it's the same questline that lets you convert your gear into materias when it's spiritbound, it's in Central Thanalan, a bit northeast of Black Brush, Mutamix the goblin gives the questline) and then...

There is book stuff added, but as far as I could tell it either's AST/DRK/MCH weapons(like primal crafted stuff and allagan weapons and so on, which at this point is entirely glamour) or airship stuff, so not particularily important stuff. Also as a general tip for everyone, make sure to turn...

Not sure what type of gear you need. The new stuff's difficulty is around 3stars, but unlike the 3star stuff, it costs jackshit to make and a NQ still gives xp anyway, so there's that. There's no minimum stats either, and it's not book based, it's just a new category of 51-55 that goes after the...

Fucking low level queues as healer/tank are longer than DPS, stupid ass machinist no one wants to play it.

There's very few differences, mostly GC mats, since they didn't post all the new items. You can see the items on the Lodestone though, including primal drops and shit like that. AST weapons are GSM based sadly, hoped for ALC to give it a bit more value since GSM already does jewelry for every...

Didn't have an issue, but I downloaded yesterday. Was capped at 3mb/s, which took like 30mins or whatever, and 3hours ish for the rest of the client(clean install).

All the non digital retailers are supposed to send those today, on release day. It's a shitfest, I guess they didn't want people to cancel for EA or something. As for Patch Notes, probably when Lodestone goes back up, read that it was still down, extended one hour. Edit: Nvm it's up, looks...

Well in QM if the guy's under account 25 and hero 4, he doesn't have a choice, I know I did like a couple of games with Leap before I had WotB unlocked. It's not THAT bad as like counter initiation, people tend to clump up trying to kill whoever's the idiot in front and you just go WAAAHHHH and...

0, not for the expansion. I mean, 10mins early or so maybe, but it won't be like 3hours early or whatever.

I really liked Sonya when I played her, her damage output is pretty ridiculous I found when you use Wrath of the Berzerker and start spamming those smashes and shit. Also pushes crazy fast if people decide to ignore you because "lelz sonya is pushing, who cares". Like you can keep WotB for a...

Seems there's quite a shitstorm going on reddit and the official forums about the pricing and the base game being included. I'm not sure how they thought selling the base game at a discount right after they announced the expansion even though it wasn't necessary to play the expansion was a good...

Yeah I'd be fine with 10x xp, just so you can dump leves faster and it being less boring. Sure the 10x leves will be longer to complete I'm sure, but probably less so than doing 10leves, which involve a lot of running back and forth and you have to redo the same leves over and over. It lets you...

Maybe they watched the game just before where they picked Bloodseeker jungle on kuro? Don't know the order of the picks but they might have counterpicked BS with BH for that, and then they ran it as core instead and the BH became kinda useless. Anyway pretty good games so far, that VG vs VP was...

Well the Bloodseeker/Zeus thing is kind of a pub strat but a pretty solid one(if you remember that Nigma video where they could instantly kill the enemy team from their own fountain with Furion+Zeus+Bloodseeker and some refresher, hilarious shit). Interesting they went with Jakiro/Darkseer combo...

Yeah I really don't know though, I've seen the videos from various people and they're fucking shit, so that doesn't help. I don't see it being worse than WHM regardless. From the looks of it, regen stance, put some regen on yourself, dot 2-3 mobs and then aoe to finish them, heal back and rinse...

FATEs are worth it when there's a low amount of people(clear them quickly, get credit for most mobs so you get a nice amount of combat xp on top) or if there's a lot of people but you can manage to tag most mobs. Tagging mobs first gives you full xp, regardless. Not tagging them means you get no...

Even if you had a static, since they're staggering raid content, there's pretty much no point. I think the only people that do need the preparations would be crafter/gatherers, as hitting 60 first would give you a decent edge, but even crafting shit is being kept for the raid opening, so really...

You generally farm ponies through PF, not DF. There's farm groups, you join one and farm it a bunch of times hoping you get the drop and win the roll. Class doesn't matter that much for these groups in general as people can change, but you do need to get in early as a DPS most of the time...

They could just make it scale, or add a penalty to rezing that is reduced as you level up or whatever, plenty of ways to deal with it. The passive looks really strong though, since you basically keep vision of people and stuff as you're dead.

Yeah I got told they're putting the patch on PTR next week, so I'm not buying anything, I'll wait until I see nerfs/buffs, saving my gold for now. Well I bought Malfurion but he was 2k anyway so not a huge issue. Since I'm gonna be playing FFXIV for the next few weeks, I might as well wait...

You don't get a level per run now, so you will get at most a level after the patch, probably less. The only time you get a level atm is if you have the roulette. A lot of dungeons can be run in under 30mins though, especially if you have semi competent DPS. Challenge log as you said is around...

I don't know if it's that good tbh. I guess if you crit on Adlo it's worth it, but otherwise your fairy already kinda heals for 50% of your healing output anyway, and you lose access to her cooldowns(so you need to dump everything before you dissipate) and then you need to swiftcast another...

There's still some stuff you can do before the expansion, like getting sold gear with your sold, getting poetics, getting your master I/II books for crafting, leveling gathering or crafting to 50, doing beastmen daillies and so on. It's only a few days away anyway.

Try to keep the mobs on you. But really it depends on your class and shit, if you've played wow it's not too much different other than provoke being a lot weaker(much longer cd, no forced taunt) and obviously the GCD being slow as shit so you need to get those mobs on you asap.

I guess it's because it's launch and shit? Not sure if they wiped either after beta, did they? If they didn't, it'd be to compensate for a bunch of people having a leg up and what not. I think it's great, got me playing since I was bored, between this and the stimpack, I'm gonna get to lvl 30 or...

Patch 3.0 Notes (Preliminary) | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

That can be good if you play with kinda better players yeah, I'm still leveling though and in quick matches, your team will absolutely try to find every way possible to run out of your tranquility, so I find being able to move around is good. And I really like the auto regrowth. But yeah there's...

Technically you vomit the darkness on your allies, since it's going to be a damage reduction LB similar to other tanks. Or I guess you could vomit it on the enemies so they do less damage. Eh. Anyway some of that stuff looks really cool and gives a lot more personality to the classes, though now...

At lvl 13 or something you get a passive that casts a Regrowth on a wounded ally automatically every 15seconds, along with the passive at 16 or whatever that gives faster cooldowns at over 80%health, it's very easy to keep hots rolling on everyone(also obviously get the +duration regrowth...

Some is good, like the dungeon sets from Brayflox or Dzemazel for example are great, and the lvl 15-17 dungeon sets too for low level stuff. I know a bunch of people who leveled like entirely running specific dungeons so they could complete the low level sets and use some parts of it even at...

Well there's some stuff for everyone, subligars are FFXI trademark though so that's kinda why. The good looking armor actually looks really good imo, other than the rigidity of some parts and stuff like that. Also almost everything that's not just pants looks retarded on horses.

Wonder if it'll come with a HD version re-release or something to make some money from the hype. Anyway seems it'll be funded in like a day or something dumb.

It definitely means PC, as Square has been porting stuff fairly consistently now to PC, they seem to get good enough sales and do quick shit jobs which probably don't cost much(and then let Durante fix all their shit for free). But if you look at Lightning Returns for example, it's still not...

Well the "issue" is it'll take longer to do all the required dungeons. On top of that, if you don't get them done before the patch as I said earlier, it's gonna be rough. At least the 2.0 shit(castrum and the other imperial thingie), for the primals due to the short fights and people resubbing...

Sony said they didn't have much in first party this year I think? It's mostly a bunch of other companies' stuff that's good on the PS4 that's getting released I believe.

It wasn't good design to put 30mins of cutscenes in the middle of a fucking dungeon, especially a 8man. Best way to do it imo is to just clear the thing, then watch the cutscenes after in your inn. It's not optimal but it doesn't bother anyone and you get all the time you need to watch them...

Everything 50 will definitely have shit queues, I wasn't talking about leveling dungeon, but story stuff and since he's already 30, he'll be 45+ by the expansion and hitting those at that point. Garuda normal, Empire zones, Levi/Mog/Ramuh/Shiva hm and Spaceguy/Steps. People who play the new...

Yeah it's max level, and it's a LOT of quests after that. You're probably not gonna make it I'd say unless you play an insane amount. Plus side is you'll get xp past 50 once the expansion hit. Downside is you're gonna have to do 50 trials and shit while most people will be doing other shit...

I should probably pick the first one during this sale to play at some point in the far future, heard it was pretty decent.
