Begrüßung und Vorbereitung auf die Letter from the Producer Live Part 80

00:02:16

00:02:16 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel, where today we're just going to be doing something a little different from our usual gameplay stuff, and we're just going to be going over the recent letter from the producer live, and we're just going to be testing things out real quick. So, Okuyomi and Minarine, are you there? We're here! We're here! Hello!

00:02:43 Alright, so, um, it's just gonna be me and then you're gonna hear the disembodied voices of Okiyomi and Minarine, uh, just, uh, what's it called, with me here, but just making sure, um, is the audio okay? Is the music overpowering any of us? Um, Okiyomi, Minarine, do you both mind, like, talking for a bit so everybody in chat can see how you sound? Yeah, we can talk a little bit. Minarine, what did you have for lunch? Because I had a benchmark.

00:03:13 Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe... Ich habe...

00:03:26 Ja, es ist ein Marked Bench. Ja, es ist ein Marked Bench. Okay, so audio sounds good. Do they both sound okay? The music's not overpowering either of them. This is like the only test that we have today for everybody. So we're just making sure it all sounds good. So all good. Thank you. We get confirmation. Awesome. Thanks.

00:03:53 Okay, we're gonna be kicking things off that I wanna say about...

00:03:58 20, 26 minutes, 25-ish minutes. So take this time for yourselves, grab like some water, grab a snack, because it's going to be a lot. And plus we have some giveaways later on today. So that is something. Yes, I think because I had a benchmark for lunch, everyone in chat can also have a benchmark for their lunch, dinner or breakfast. You know, maybe we're having plans so they could go to it too. Yeah. During the wait time.

00:04:28 Das ist wahr. Wir haben ein varietyer Weg zu bekommen. Ja, sollte ich den Linken in Chat stellen? Ich denke, das wäre toll. Ja, ich werde den Linken in Chat stellen. Ich denke, das wäre toll. Ja, ich werde den Linken in Chat stellen. Ja, ich werde den Linken in Chat stellen. Ja, ich werde den Linken in Chat stellen.

00:04:56 So there you go. Go ahead and just use that, download it, see how your computer fares, and play around with all of that in there. I think that's pretty much it. We're not starting things off quite yet, so I think that's it for this test. It's our fastest test ever. Yay! Yay!

00:05:22 Ja, um, thank you all so much for, um, allowing us to, uh, have this test for our audio and the visuals and all that stuff. Uh, just real quick, actually, do you guys see, do you guys see this? You guys see that? Okay, yeah, it's coming. It should come, clearly. Yeah, um, like I said, we will see you all in about 24-ish or so minutes, and, uh, yeah. We'll see you soon, okay? Thanks for being here.

00:29:47 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. So today we're going to be doing things a little bit differently, but I obviously can't do this alone. Okuyomi and Minarine, are you there? Hello! Malihal, everyone! Yeah, we're just making sure that... Oh, Okuyomi. Are you there? Am I okay? Yeah, it sounded like you were throwing yourself across the room. You were like, yeah!

00:30:19 Let us go ahead and introduce ourselves. So if you didn't know it already, my name is Aya, also known as SciSeeker on the Official Forums. And joining me are my two illustrious co-hosts. Let's start with Minarine first. Minarine, do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself? Sure. Hey, everyone. It's me, Minarine. You can also call me Sarah. Minarine is fine as well. I'm very happy to be here with my co-hosts, SciSeeker and Okuyomi. We have a lot of information to tell you, so I hope you're ready.

00:30:48 Yep, yep. And Okuyomi, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to... Hello, hello! I see a lot of lollyhoes in the chat, so lollyho, everyone! I am Okuyomi on the official forums, but you can also call me as Danielle. It's been a pleasure to be here today, and we get a new benchmark! Yay!

00:31:15 So much information today. So I hope you all grabbed a snack and all that stuff during that break time. But yeah, we have a lot to cover. So just to give you guys a heads up, this is a little bit different than the usual way that we carry out duty commenced episodes. Oh, I'm sorry, I hit my mic. So we're actually just going to be going over the letter from the producer live. We do this every now and then, whenever there is a letter from the producer live. So, yeah.

00:31:42 I hope you all enjoy the information that we cover and all that stuff, so I think we can go ahead and get to it. Okuyomi Meinerine, what do you say? Let's do it. Sounds good. Let's go. Alright. But actually, just before we go ahead and start, is all the audio okay? I always just want to make sure, even though we tested it earlier, I'm still paranoid, but does everything sound good? Everything sound okay? You can hear us all? Music's not too loud. Alright.

00:32:12 Cool.

00:32:14 Cool, cool, cool. Alright, let's go ahead and get started then, shall we? So, if you didn't know it already, but we said it earlier, we are actually going over the latest information from Letter from the Producer, Live Part 80. That's 8-0. Crazy. You've come a long way. Right? A very long way. I was told that this was, like, not supposed to go as high, but here we are. Oh, really? Yeah. Isn't that interesting?

00:32:44 I wonder what they originally thought it would be at. But that's cool. It's cool. We're at 80 and I can't wait till we get to 100. That'd be fun. In case you missed it already, I believe we are going over the Dawn Trail official benchmark, which was made available starting from yesterday. So if you didn't have it already, now is your chance to go ahead and try it out. If you do need a link to that, there it is for you in chat.

00:33:12 So please make sure you go ahead and check it out. I know we've been seeing a lot of people posting about their characters and actually trying out female Hrothgar. So please make sure you try it out for yourself as well.

00:33:30 Es ist super schön. Ich weiß, dass ich eine Chance habe, zu sehen. Ich liebe die Führer auf die Female Hrothgar. Ich werde meine Makote, aber es ist super schön, dass wir das sehen können. Wir alle gehen Female Hrothgar für unsere erste Jon-Trail? Oh, wir sollten! 100%! Wir werden noch mehr Informationen verabschieden, so wir gehen und gehen.

Vorbestellungen für Dawn Trail und zugehörige Boni

00:34:01

00:34:01 So, if you didn't know it already, the Dawn Trail pre-orders are available now, and early access for this starts on Friday, June 28th, with the official release date being on Tuesday, July 2nd. What are our pre-order bonuses, though, Okuyomi? Oh my gosh. Our pre-order bonus is, if you will go to the next slide, we have the wind-up. The wind-up Zidane minion.

00:34:26 Zidane, Zidane. Zidane, Zidane. Zidane, Zidane, Tainer, Tomato. Let's ask what Chat does, because we had to discuss this. I say Zidane, but Minarine, you say... I say Zidane, like the Dissidane games. Okay, and then Cyce, you say... I say Zidane also. I think that's just me.

00:34:48 Es ist ein sehr süßes Minion. Wenn du eine Big Nine-Fan bist, dann kannst du das auf der Seite sein. Ich glaube, es ist ein Backflip. Ich kann nicht heute sprechen!

00:35:07 Aside from the minion though, Mina Reine, what else do we got? We got this amazing what? We have this amazing earring, a Zayma's earring, and it gives you a EXP bonus all the way up to level 90. Wow. So yeah, these are two pretty awesome things that we're giving to all of you should you go ahead and order, pre-order, sorry, Dawnshale. So please, if any of these interest you, make your way over and pre-order today.

00:35:36 The best part about that is, too, if you're like me and you're kind of slacking, baby, you don't have all your jobs leveled, that Azima's Earring is like 100. It's really nice to make sure you get that EXP buff. Honestly, though, even if you just want the Zidane minion, the Azima's Earring, if you do happen to have all your jobs leveled, certain individual's not going to name them. But...

00:36:06 It's a nice accessory just for glamour purposes, too, honestly. Like, look at that. Yeah, very stylish. Indeed. So let's go ahead and show the next slide, shall we? Yeah. All right. We actually had a blog over this, too, if you haven't checked it out. We just wanted to make sure that we run over the Dawn Trail lineup. And if you are on a different platform, your checkout cart, or however you check out, might look a little different. Yep.

00:36:36 So there's a whole bunch, though. Yeah, so all of this explains pretty much how everything works out. So if you are just wanting the goods and all of that, you can go ahead and make a purchase for the collector's box just by itself. It doesn't have the game or the in-game items. But if you did decide like, oh, I want to go ahead and grab those as well, then the digital collector's edition is there for you. You can get the standard edition if you just want the game. That's cool. And yeah.

00:37:04 There's the Windows and Mac collector's editions for sale as well, which includes all of the above. So, whatever suits your fancy, I hope you are able to go ahead and take advantage.

Unboxing der Collector's Edition von Dawn Trail

00:37:19

00:37:19 All right. Shall we move on to the next slide? I'm ready. You shall. Okay. And so, this is the awesome Collector's Edition. It comes with an expertly crafted Viper figure, Adventurer's Cloth Map, the Unending Journey Journal, the Adventurer's Pen Case, and the Dawn Trail Special Art Box. And you know...

00:37:48 I know. I'm actually really excited. But this is actually the first time we get to do this. I'm kind of shifting around, but you'll see why in just a second. I'm pretty hyped for this. Okay, so I'm just making sure I don't hit anything. So we're actually going to go ahead and unbox the Collector's Edition. But what's nice about it is that we actually have a sample that's pretty much how it's going to be sent to you.

00:38:16 Es ist natürlich nicht gesend zu werden, in einem openen Box. Aber dieses ist die Package, die ihr sehen könnt. Ihr Collector's Edition. Ich hoffe, ihr könnt noch hören. Wir können. Wir können. Wir können. Cool, cool, cool. Ich denke, das Box kam von Chirral. Ja, ich denke so. Da war ein Post-It an da, an da.

00:38:39 Aber ja, es ist ganz schön. Sie können das Dantreil sehen, dass es in Gold ist. Und dann sehen Sie, dass die Protektoren sind in jedem Teil des Boxen. Die sind auch in den Boxen zu sein, also zu sein, also zu sein, also zu sein, also zu sein, und sehr glücklich zu sein. So ich werde jetzt gehen und nehmen sie jetzt. Es ist mit Wrapp mit Kare. Ja. Es ist wie wenn du in deinen Guildenlabs für deine Crafters bist. Du hast es gesagt, ich muss sicher, dass es all... Es ist all Wrapp.

00:39:08 I do want to give you guys just a heads up, though. This is the same Collector's Edition that was shown off during the PAX East panel. So if you notice a little wear and tear, just... It's not me, I promise. It's been touched. No, it's through Transit also. It had to survive Transit. But as you can see, it's in pretty good condition. There you go. See that box art right there? And then you can see each side has...

00:39:36 Something nice. I know my lights are kind of going crazy right now. No, it makes it look so shiny and beautiful. Yeah, it is very shiny. You can't see it right now, but I'm using the WoW emote in-game right now, like, a lot. Wait a minute. Wow, slash wow.

00:39:57 Okay, we're gonna go ahead and open this. I'm very scared of opening this box. We were doing this as a rehearsal thing, and I was just like... I was terrified. Yeah, I was taking five minutes just to open this box. It was ridiculous. Terrified in a good way, being very protective. I was just trying to be careful, very diligent. So I'm gonna actually employ some movie magic really quick with this first one. So I'm gonna go ahead and take out the...

00:40:25 expertly crafted Viper figure. So I'm gonna go ahead and take this out really quickly for all of you. Go ahead and check out the box and everything. I'm actually gonna take them out of here too. Oh, sorry. Yes. You can see that this guy's in there. So that's really nice. And this art is just really awesome too, right? You can go ahead and see Dawn Trail right there. And then Final Fantasy XIV.

00:40:53 So, I've had permission to go ahead and open this up to show you guys how he will be packaged up, so give me just one second. One second, one second.

00:41:04 All right, und dann werde ich das so schnell und nicht schreitze. So, das ist wie er wird. Du kannst die Plastik und alles sehen, und seine zwei Schwarz auf der Seite. Du wirst, um, zu, uh, kind of, like, sort of, peel back his, his hands a little bit. Um, aber da sind die Direktionen in der Box, in der very bottom. Uh, so, du kannst, uh, und check out.

00:41:33 Ja, da ist ein Anstruction Manual. Ja, da ist ein Anstruction Manual. Du hast das zu uns gestern. Ja, du hast es gemacht. Ja, du hast es gemacht. Ja, du hast es gemacht. Ja, du hast es gemacht. Ja, du hast es gemacht. Ja, ich habe es in der Zeit. Aber mit dem Movie Magic, wir haben eigentlich schon einen außerhalb des Packagings. Wow. Wow. Du kannst es sehen, wie expertly crafted das ist. Ich werde meine Gesichter aus, so du kannst es sehen. Ja.

00:42:00 He looks pretty cool. Um, as I said, the swords are going to be detached. So, um, just a little, uh, just a little tip from me. Um, but like some people are usually not certain how to have the sword oriented, but it's best to show off the details, right? Cosplayers, you know what I'm talking about. But yeah, you could go ahead and turn that sword over, which is really nice because it gives you that kind of freedom and all that stuff. Um, but yeah, I think that is...

00:42:28 Es ist für die Figur. Ich hoffe, ihr habt es wirklich cool. Und dann der nächste eine, um, es kommt in dieses... Oh, die Logo ist, wie ein Hologer. Wow. Aber ja, in diesen Spots, um, ich bereits aus den Konten, aber da sind viele, uh, ich will nicht sagen, Barricades, aber da sind irgendwie wie Cardboard Barricades, um, dass alle die Goods in den sind sind.

00:42:57 Ich glaube, das ist die Unending Journey Journal, in der man sich anschauen kann. Ich hoffe, ich werde diese gut vorstellen. Oh, look at that. Mit der Meteor Logo. Very nice. Classic Meteor. Oh, mein Gott. Kann ich sehen die Front wieder? Oh, mein Gott. Das ist die... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das... Ist das...

00:43:25 Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. It's fancy. Yeah, right? Can you show us what's inside? Yes, I was actually going to do that. So I'm going to just flip to a random page and you can go ahead and see that it's a lined notebook. I don't want to open it too much, just in case there are some of you that do have that thing about crisis in books. Completely understand. But yeah, there is many pages so you can go ahead and log your adventures or, you know, your...

00:43:53 Best-in-slot plans or your raid stuff. It's really used for a lot of things, honestly. What would you write in the first pages? Oh, for me, I'd be like, hi, hello. This is insert wool name here. What would you write, Meinarine, in your first pages? I would put my battle plan for glamours. Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah. I would write about my love for Beastmaster and be like, oh.

00:44:22 Du hast es wie Day 1, Beastmaster's Lock. Das ist was ich. Ja. Ja. Die nächste Sache, ich werde das und füllen das. Aber wie es ist, ist es jetzt ein Cloth-Map. Es zeigt sehr gut, auf Stream, das ist schön. Um, das ist schön. Um, was es heißt? Es ist sehr schön. Da ist ein Cardboard in da, um, zu machen, dass es schön ist. Und so...

00:44:52 Ich werde das einfach nachdenken, wenn ich etwas zurückkehren will, wenn ich das so mache. Nein, ich kann sagen aus dem Chat, weil es viele Leute zu sehen haben, die wirklich zu sehen haben. Alright, ich werde versuchen mein Bestes. Okay, ich bin so sorry. Okay. Wenn ich nicht alles zeigen kann, aber ich denke, ich werde meine Micke machen. Ja, das ist, ehrlich gesagt, wie es aussieht.

00:45:22 Can you describe the texture of the map? It's a little bit... It's honestly like, um...

00:45:30 Ich würde sagen, es ist eine sehr durabilisierte Kott. Ich werde nicht, um es zu machen, oder etwas zu machen. Es ist eine sehr gute Qualität. Ich liebe es ein sehr viel. Ich liebe es ein sehr viel. Ich werde es ein sehr gut machen, um, so ich kann euch die Pen Case zeigen. Ich weiß, einige von euch sind sehr froh über das. Ich weiß...

00:46:00 Ich weiß, Volta 9 ist sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr über das. Aber das ist... Ich denke... Oh mein Gott. Oh mein Gott. Was ist das Pencil-Case? So, die Idee ist, dass du diese Tassel gesehen hast. Hier ist die andere Seite. Oh mein Gott.

00:46:20 Sorry. Wow, look at that. Oh, it's the same emblem that's on the Unending Journey. Oh, you're right. Put in your writing utensils. I feel like you could put food utensils. I put my Pictomancer brushes in there. Yeah, you gotta put your Pictomancer brushes. Put those. Oh, put those what? Oh, put those brushes in. For sure. All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and roll this up really quick.

00:46:48 so you all can see what the dealio is about and I just have it like that nice little snug comfortable thing that you can take around with you pretty awesome I think perfect for your adventure travels yeah pretty awesome

00:47:09 Honestly, in some cases, you can use it as a wallet, to an extent. Right? You have to try really hard, though. Just tuck it in your back pocket. Yeah. But that is pretty much all that are in there. I hope I'm not missing anything, am I? I showed off the art box, showed off the figure, showed off the map, and then the journal, and the pen case. Okay, cool. Yeah.

00:47:36 So that is pretty much everything. So let's go ahead and get back to the presentation, shall we? Mm-hmm. Let's go. Yeah. So that was pretty much everything that was on there. But also what is included are some in-game items. Mineraine, do you want to go over those in-game items? Yes. So for the Collector's Edition in-game items, we have the Arc Mount.

00:48:03 For those of you who are familiar with Final Fantasy IX, this may seem very familiar to you. And we also have Windup Garnet to accompany Windup Zidane. Oh, awesome, awesome. I think I actually have something for this. Would you mind actually waiting for just a second? I have something pretty, pretty awesome that we can go ahead and show off.

00:48:31 Ja. Ja. Was war das letzte item? Wir haben ein Chocobo-Brush. Es ist so schön. Oh, look at die star. Look at die star. Little Chocobo-Brush.

00:48:50 Ich glaube, wir würden starten ein Krieg sein, wenn wir die Krieg machen würden. Ja. Aber du hast alle, also wir haben nicht zu kämpfen. All right, es ist fertig und bereit zu gehen. Wir sind alle bereit zu sehen, was ist in Ordnung? Let's see, let's see, let's go, let's see. So, das ist ein Sneak Peek auf die Arkmount. Hier ist es.

00:49:26 Oh, there's no... Okay, I'm so sorry. Let me go ahead and fix something up real quick. It seems that there's no audio on this. Oh, no. One second. Was this not... I'm so sorry about that. We'll watch it a second time. Yeah. We get double the fun with ArcMount. All right. We'll rewind the last few seconds. Yeah, so imagine this just, like, did not happen right now, okay? It's, like, all just...

00:49:54 Let's all just pick it up from right here. Okay, ready? Here we go. I promise. Let me go ahead and do this and then this.

00:50:50 Es ist so cool. Es ist so cool. Es ist so cool. Ja, ist es? Awesome. Ich kann's, ich kann's warten. Mhm. Ja. Aber ja, wir gehen und gehen und gehen, sollen wir?

Grafische Verbesserungen in Dawn Trail

00:51:10

00:51:10 Yeah, let's go. Alright, so we're moving on to the graphical updates of everything like that. So let's go ahead and dive into it, shall we?

00:51:22 All right, so I believe we actually do have a few videos that we can show off really quick. So allow me to get those ready. I'm so sorry. I'm just making sure everything is good to go. So I believe for the first ones, we have some of the grass that we could look at really quick. So I'm going to go ahead and pause the audio once more just so we can get a full immersive experience with this one. Hopefully you can hear it. Tell me if you can.

00:52:12 All right, and that was some of the grass that, what's it called, you could see it from the difference from how things are now on the live server as opposed to what's coming for us in Dawn Trail. And we actually have like a close up of this. Let me go ahead and make sure I could show you guys that. Shout outs to Zexos for getting all these screenies and clips. Much appreciated. Yeah, this is such an improvement. I love this. I love that now because I,

00:52:41 I don't know about y'all, but I definitely have this happen a lot where I'll try and zoom up in my character to look, be like, oh wow, I look fine right now. And then the grass just gets in their way. Have you guys had that happen? Oh yeah. And as you can see from these side-to-side screenshots, you can see that the grass is a little bit more finely tuned and more high resolution. So it's really, really awesome.

00:53:07 I think it will look really good, especially in G-Pose. If you're using any kind of, when you turn on the blur in G-Pose, that's something that will look really cool. Have some shots. Super looking forward to it. It's awesome, because in that video, too, as your character walks through the grass, it'll also sway to the side when your character moves through it. So really, really awesome, I think. Yeah, I can't wait to see in, I think,

00:53:37 Looking back, probably like, I'm trying to think of areas that I would love to go visit, like Ilmeng is one. Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually do think we have some more videos that we can show off. Shall I go ahead and show the next one? Yes. Right.

00:54:07 So for that one, I think it's more so that the swaying is a little bit different than how it usually is. And it could sway a lot more than it currently can now. So that's really cool, I think. Yeah, it seems like it gets a lot more dynamic based on the weather that's happening in the area. And I mean, especially if you pay attention to the environment in each area, I think it'll be really cool to see.

00:54:34 I don't know, maybe a big storm comes your way and there's a lot of wind. Maybe you're in the sea of clouds and it's super windy out and moving all around and then the trees and the foliage is going crazy. I would actually just see special weather as well. That's affected by all that. Can you imagine the Deatum? Can you imagine that? I want to go back in and check because I think it'll look really cool. We should go. Why not, right? Yes!

00:55:03 Finally, it's called Check Everything Out to the Finest Detail and all that stuff. But I actually also have another video, because you mentioned the Diadem. And what do you do in Diadem? You fly a lot, right? So let's go ahead and check out a video based on that, shall we? You guys ready for that? I'm ready. I'm very ready. All right.

00:55:38 All right. I feel like I should just play these on loop so we could actually... I was just gonna say that. Oh my gosh. Let's go ahead and take a look at that again. Did you see that banking? I think chat saw it. Oh my gosh. It's awesome. I really like it a lot. Because you can see how much more natural, you could say, it looks like, right? Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. All right. Yeah.

00:56:08 I also think we have a few more things that we could show off. So while we took the skies here, we're gonna get back onto the ground. So let us go ahead and check this out really quick. Here we go. So you can see that the ground texture is a lot different between these two images, right? So it's...

00:56:34 Es ist sehr viel mehr definiert und ich fühle mich die Design selbst auch verändert hat, um zu zeigen mehr Persönlichkeit in den Plätzen, die du in bist, richtig? Ja, jemand mit ein bisschen technischem Hintergrund sieht man, die Normal-Map sieht viel besser in dieser Situation. Und ich denke, für die General-Ardienste auch, ich liebe die Gegend. Es sieht viel mehr realistisch in relation zu unserer Charakter-Size. Ich weiß nicht, ob ihr alle gesehen habt, aber das ist eine große Sache, die mich sehr interessiert.

00:57:03 Das ist super cool zu sehen, auch in den alten Bereichen. Ja. Und ich weiß, dass wir die Live-Letter haben, mit all of euch waren, dass viele Leute fragen, wie es sich auf PS4 aussieht, aber keine Angst, dass ihr alle diese Sachen sehen könnt, so... ...do nicht fret.

00:57:28 Es ist auch cool, weil es gibt auch Texturen aus dem Graschen und all das, als opposed zu den Graschen. Ich bin so glücklich, denn ich kann nur die Environment Artist sagen, Sie haben uns amazing tools gegeben, und sie sagen, Sie sehen all die Graschen jetzt, Sie sehen es! Und sie haben wahrscheinlich gesagt, ich habe ihre Hype, weil das wäre Monumental gewesen, wenn wir als Environmental Artist wären so glücklich für das. Ja, richtig?

00:57:55 So good. Alright, let's see what next we have. Oh yeah, so you can see here that there's more textures and all that stuff. It's really, really cool. Look at how different it looks. Look at the shadow definition. Oh my gosh. Oh my good, yeah. You can even see the grass too. They kind of have it in this situation. You can kind of see it in the 6.58, but it's because the shadows are almost like...

00:58:24 So blurry pixelated, trying to convey what was happening there. It's like they didn't have enough resolution. You really can't see the grass detail, which I think was there all the time. Like the whole time, it's just like, it didn't really do it justice. It was kind of like masking it. Yeah. So it's beautiful. Yeah, it's amazing how it helps it stand out a little more, right? Yeah. All right.

00:58:46 So now I think we have like a couple more images or one more image of this but you could see up close even closer that there are some like really fine details that we're missing the current live version right now but you'll be able to see all of this stuff coming down trail so oh it's so pretty look at that resolution it's very very nice

00:59:09 The texture artist was probably like, thank you, my work is getting shown so nicely now, everyone can see it, it's amazing. I love it. So, so good. So, I believe, yep, there is one more image of it showing how things are in comparison to one another, so that's really, really cool. It's a very, very drastic difference. Crazy.

00:59:38 Ich glaube, wir haben einen für den Aetheryte, wenn wir uns das anschauen wollen. Schauen wir mal, was das alles geht? Ich habe es nicht. Aber ja, wir müssen uns das anschauen. Welche Aetheryte ist es? Oh, es ist das. Es ist still... Dramanian Forlinds? Dramanian Forlinds, ja. Oder Hinterlinds. No, Forlinds. Hinterlinds ist... ...near Idl-Shire. Ja.

01:00:08 Wir sehen Sie, Chat. Du kannst es nicht essen. Es ist kein Kandier. Ja. Es ist ein Kandier, aber manchmal ist es ein Aetheryte, und du denkst, ist es eine Blu-Berre? Oder ist es eine Blu-Raz-Berre? Was ist es? Kannst du uns, Chat? Vielleicht kannst du den Marketing Team sagen, hey, kannst du einen Aetheryte-Rock-Kandier machen? Aetheryte-Gummis. Oh mein Gott. Aber dann ist es Chui. Ich denke, es wäre schwer.

Detaillierte Grafikverbesserungen und Charaktermodelle

01:00:37

01:00:37 Ja. Okay. We're back to Foodie Commenced, everybody. Oh, true. Without fail. Sorry, I did not mean to invoke this. I did not mean to invoke. So people are saying cotton candy, too? Okay, okay. Oh. No, but getting into the nitty-gritty of the graphics and all that stuff, you can definitely tell that it does shine a little bit differently. Along with the ring that's around it, too, you can see that the gold is a little bit more vibrant and everything, too.

01:01:05 Es ist wirklich, wirklich awesome. Es gibt mir die Metallic-fehlung, es ist wie die Spekulare für es und die Gloss, es ist ein viel mehr Realistic in der setting. Ich liebe es. Es ist wirklich, wirklich gut. Und ich liebe es, wie sie verändert, wie die Aetheryte selbst ist. Es ist mehr so, wie die Licht aufbauen. Es ist wirklich cool.

01:01:29 Ja, es gibt viel mehr, es gibt, die Refraction ist mehr realistisch. Das ist unglaublich. Oh, wow. Ja, um, da sind auch andere Dinge, wie, depending auf die weather, es vielleicht auch unterschiedlich ist. So, ich weiß nicht, wenn es raining ist, du denkst, wie es jetzt aussieht, wie es jetzt aussieht. Du kannst direkt auf es und sehen für dich. Ja.

01:01:52 Ich denke, es ist awesome. Ja, ich fühle mich, oh mein Gott, Scythe Seeker, ich meine, du willst du einen Tour von Eorzea und wir können in 7.0, wir können starten mit 7.0, aber wir können einfach mal sehen, dass die Veränderungen in der Welt passiert und es wäre super cool zu gehen.

01:02:09 Ja, das wäre wirklich cool, richtig? Das wäre gut. Es wäre gut. Wir können all die Wings-Mounts fahren. Wir können unsere Banken fahren. Wir können auch die Gründe auf die Gründe gehen. Und wir können auch die Gründe gehen. Es wäre toll. Ja, ja. Aber wir haben ja, wir haben die Werte, die Werte und die Werte auf die Charaktere und alles. So soll wir gehen und schauen das? Ja.

01:02:35 Let me pause the music really quick. I'm so sorry that I'm constantly pausing it, but here we go.

01:02:43 Ja, so you can go ahead and see that it's a lot different per karat, well, on UHDP's Lalafell. You can even see the differences on the armor and everything, too, which is really nice. But I think we do actually have a video for this. Let me see if... I believe there is one. Yeah, these are... The metallic stands out a lot to me. Oh, I was just saying the metal, too. I see, like, such an improvement. I love it.

01:03:12 Very, very nice. Yes, I could have sworn there was a video here. I'm so sorry. I'm just making sure that... No, you're good. Oh.

01:03:25 Oh, look at that. Yeah, so you could see how it would affect your character if it was more of like a rainy situation and all that stuff, too. So very, very different. I'll go ahead and have that on loop as well, so we can go ahead and talk about this also. But yeah, it's like a very drastic difference that you could tell, right? Like you could see that her skin is being like more reflective and all that stuff, too.

01:03:54 So, it's like...

01:03:57 Definitely a lot more different, right? Yeah, it's gotten caught in a downpour. And you can definitely tell that there's moisture on that. On the skin and on the cloth. Super nice. So I believe we can go back and actually talk about these changes again. I thought the video was in front. That's my mistake. I'm so sorry about that. But yeah, we can go back and check them out really quick. I believe we can start here.

01:04:27 Und dann we kind of touched upon this, like you could see how different the lighting is for the Svalafell. And then here they are at the Lost City of Amtapur. And you could see that the ground itself is also being affected by how the rain is. So I love this shot. I think this is like a wonderful shot to show off, especially because it felt like...

01:04:53 Die Textur war so groß und blurig. Die Textur war so groß und blurig. Die Textur war so da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da, was da.

01:05:17 Ja, so diese little, subtle changes like that are great for helping notice those small details. Right? So, so good. Yes, I feel like there's a lot of people that are just like, time to g-pose it up, like, after all this. Because look at how much different that is. Like, it's such a stark difference, like all the lighting, the small details coming together to make the bigger picture a lot more prevalent and more...

01:05:45 Ich würde sagen. Ja. Das ist wirklich cool.

01:05:51 Das ist wirklich toll. Aber ich glaube, wir können die nächsten Mal schauen. Ich weiß, wir hatten das Video. Aber ich glaube, dass das jetzt mehr auf die Polygons auf die Fingern und die Toe sind. Also, hier sehen wir, dass die Fingern ein bisschen mehr aussehen. Das ist wirklich cool.

01:06:16 Und ich weiß, dass wir Community-Members das in den Benchmarken sehen können, weil es viele mehr times in der Benchmarken Software gibt, wo ein Charakter grabs etwas und es sieht besser aus, weil es die höheren Resolution ist. Props, wir haben es! High-Res! Es ist so gut. Ja, das ist wirklich awesome. Es ist eine sehr kleine Detail, aber es ist einfach, wie du siehst, wie hart die Dev-Team ist mit diesen Graphic-Updates.

01:06:41 All right, we actually have one that does take place in Ilmg, so let's go ahead and check that out, right? So you can see the difference from the live servers as compared to now. It's much more vibrant, much more colorful, much more... I feel like it's... You can see the bushes a lot more prevalently, right? It's very nice. Yeah.

01:07:06 Ja, es ist super schön, auch. Und dann, ich weiß, dass wir über das, dass wir über das, dass sie einfach überraschieren. Ja, es ist perfekt. Ich fühle mich, dass es einfach so viele Spieler, ich fühle mich, wie ich selbst, das würde einfach nur zurückkommen, und einfach mal wieder zurückkommen. Ja.

01:07:32 Really, really awesome. I think there is one more where you could see some of the same changes from like the grass that we were showing earlier, but now applied to these wonderful Ilmec flowers.

01:07:47 Es hat so viel improved. Man sieht es in die Alpha und die Anti-Aliasing. Es hat so viel improved. Es ist nicht mehr wie es in 6.58. Super nice to see. So, um, es gibt noch viele mehr technische Features. Aber ich denke, ich würde gerne die Videos und andere Medien zu zeigen, bevor wir jetzt in die...

01:08:15 Die informative part of things, so is that okay if we go ahead and check it out? Yeah, of course, yeah. So I believe this right here is just how different things look in terms of anti-aliasing, soft shadows, all that kind of stuff, right? So let me go ahead and have that on loop, and I'm gonna play it again. It's really awesome.

01:08:46 Ja, du kannst wirklich sehen es in der background. Manchmal ist es ein hartes Ding, wenn du etwas mit einem Alpha-channel hast. Du kannst das Flickern sehen. Das ist einfach nur was passiert in der Render. So es ist wirklich schön, dass das ein Improved ist. Ja, es ist non-existent, praktisch, an dieser Stelle. Unless du bist auf die Wings der Flies. Die Wings, ja. Ja, ja. Ja, die Flickern sind fast. Ja, ja.

01:09:13 All right, but let me see what I have in store for us next. So let's go ahead and take a look. Oh, so yeah, all this stuff, I believe this is more about like the shadows and everything. So it's a lot softer, less like sharp, I guess. But it's definitely more prevalent, but it has that softer feel like how actual shadows look like, which is really nice. So yeah.

01:09:43 Ja, es sieht aus wie es also changing auf die Distance des Lichtsourcen. Mhm. Ja, so... Ich glaube, diese sind es. Ja. So, ihr könnt es hier sehen. Ja. Okay. So, das ist, die direktes Lichtung. Die erste ist, glaube ich, was wir haben, was wir jetzt. Du hast die direktes Lichtung.

01:10:10 But you can turn on a softer shadow. And with that option, then it will base the shadow off the distance of the light, how it would react in the real world or in a physical light setting. So that's super cool to see that that can even be applied in Final Fantasy XIV being an MMO. So that's super nice. All the G-Posers, you're right. You're right, Aya. Everyone's going to go crazy with G-Pos. See, that's what I'm saying.

01:10:37 There are cases where some players would actually like to see the shadows become more prevalent just due to lighting and all that stuff. So the option is there for you to switch between these various options when it comes to shadows. So keep that in mind. Yeah. So we would implore everyone, you know, when they get in the game to definitely check out. Well, you can kind of check it in the benchmark, but...

01:11:01 You'll probably, when 7.0 launches, be able to then check your settings, too, and kind of fine-tune them to what you personally like. Yep, yep. Ooh, this next one, it's actually like a direct clip from the stream, so I'm gonna go ahead and play it now, and then I'll stay silent, and then we'll probably talk over it right after, if that's okay. So, here we go. Yeah.

01:11:27 This one is for the wave effect.

01:11:51 Ja, das ist sehr gut. Das ist sehr gut.

01:12:10 Ja, so you can actually notice that in this video, it isn't a particular spot.

01:12:37 He couldn't move the camera since he'd get in trouble with the scenario team, right? That's what was going on. Yeah, he couldn't move. Oh, apologies also. Since these are direct clips that are taken from the stream, it is a little bit lower quality, so we apologize for that. But yeah, these kinds of effects will only apply to certain areas for a more realistic wave effect.

01:13:02 There were different things that were in place. And it took layered multiple textures to reproduce this effect. But it's now a lot better through different shaders and different animation effects. And I think it looks great. I think this was my favorite part of the PLL, to be honest. I wasn't expecting it. I don't know if any of us were. We were like, whoa! Yeah. It was really good, right? And there was also comments about...

01:13:30 How come the platform isn't rocking back and forth? Don't worry about it, okay? Oh man, you saw that. I saw the fishing community absolutely lose their minds and be like, could you imagine ocean fishing and like an umbral happens and then it just goes crazy and these waves come out of nowhere? Because that would be really cool. Now, I think there's only a few areas this is in.

01:13:55 Hopes for the future, maybe? Fingers crossed. Yeah. I think we have one last video that we could show off, and this one I'll probably end up looping, if that's okay. It's about a cute little Mikote.

01:14:23 So this is more just about the character models and stuff that they have. We actually have a few notes that they touched upon. So it's just like on stream, they asked the viewers if there anything that you could tell changed and all that stuff. Kind of like things like that.

01:14:46 Und eine Sache, ich glaube, viele Leute haben das gesagt, während der Live-Letter war, aber die kleinen fixations und jitters, die die Eye macht. Es ist wirklich cool. Es ist so unterschiedlich. Ja. Und das war ein bisschen anders als was in der PLL, aber ich glaube, das ist ein bisschen deceitig. Aber es ist ein bisschen deceitig, weil wir die Hands showen, aber ich mag das besser. Weil du siehst die High-Res Hands, oder Fingers, auch.

01:15:15 So that's really cool. But the eyes, yeah, that was the first thing that I kind of was drawn to, is the eye movement that kind of goes around, because it looks more natural. Yeah, it's really nice. It gives it more of an air of realism to the game and all of its aspects. I do like it a lot, too, because I was just like, are those eyes twitching? Am I going crazy? But no, you're not going crazy. It's just how things are.

01:15:41 I believe there were some other different things that were shown off during the live letter, but we can't actually show that kind of stuff, so I'm hoping that's okay with y'all. But if you did want to go and check out all that stuff, please, please, please make sure to revisit that portion of the live letter. Oh, Zexos said that this eye movement is called a saccade. Am I saying that correctly?

01:16:11 Ja, ich bin nicht die Person, die fragt für die Sprache. Ich glaube, das ist, wie du pronunciast. Ja, was wenn es so pronounced wie Sashade ist, oder? Das ist super Fancy-sounding. Das Bougie-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level.

01:16:40 Um, the extra things were, uh, how dense some foliage is in the new area, how shadows are reflected on the ground, how many objects are being displayed in the distance, um. Yeah, I think we can also, it's, uh, Tuloyol, or, oh, I can't pronounce this either, uh, Tuloyola? Uh, Tuloyola? Tuloyolol? Tuloyolol, I think, is probably correct, see.

01:17:06 Aber ja, es ist definitiv etwas zu checken, weil sie eine Day- und Night-Portion gab. Und die Night-Portion wollte sie zeigen, wie viele mehr Lighting-Sources sie könnten haben. So es ist eine sehr schöne Szene, mit einem wholeen Bunchen Lanterns. Ja. Und ich denke, es war so... Ja, es war einfach ein paar andere Dinge, so Sie sagten, dass die Lighting-Objekte, war eine andere Sache.

01:17:36 how some fruit was displayed. So we won't run into another situation with some grapes. We saw chat earlier, even in our chat, demanding to see the grapes. I'm sorry, we don't have the grapes, but you can have a pineapple. Please go check out PLL. Go ahead and re-watch the archive of it. Or the 14-hour broadcast.

01:18:03 You definitely know that somebody out there is planning to just like, you know, go over to the grapes because we didn't show them, right? So I know that people are going to journey over there, so best of luck. Hope you like what you see.

01:18:21 He also showed a shot from high without explaining how he got there. Who knows? Just... Who knows? Don't worry about it. You will actually worry about it when you get to travel around there. But right now, it's okay. It's all chill. You're gonna be on like a summer vacation kind of sort of thing. You know what I mean? So don't worry about it. Yeah. All right. So as I said, we do have like those slides that kind of talk about the...

01:18:50 die super-resolution und die höher-definitionen Dinge. So, wir gehen jetzt in das, können wir?

Super Resolution Support und Grafische Verbesserungen

01:18:58

01:18:58 Okay, did you want to go ahead and take point for this one? Sure, we'll go over the super resolution support. So super resolution support will be implemented on all platforms. Super resolution is a feature that restores image quality of low resolution images, thereby minimizing resolution degradation. So this will actually, it depends on which card you have, but there will be, there'll be two options. You can either have the AMD FSR 1.0.

01:19:25 So which is the FidelityFX Super Resolution. Or if you have NVIDIA cards, you can use the NVIDIA DLSS. I know, it's so crazy. I remember seeing this, Yoshida showed the in-game settings and people saw the AMD FSR and they're like, wait, does that mean DLSS is coming? And then of course, you had to switch over to it. So it's amazing that we get both of these, which is the Deep Learning Super Sampling. So the AMD FSR 1.0.

01:19:54 FidelityFX Super Resolution will be enabled by default, so everyone will have this on, but anyone who is playing on Windows or has a graphics card that would actually support DLSS 2.0, you can switch to that, or it's recommended to switch to that and try it. And I think even on our team, when we were testing the benchmark, I think I saw some of my team members trying the DLSS, if they had it, and I noticed a noticeable difference between the two. It's crazy. Super cool.

01:20:23 If you have a card that supports it, please, by all means. I know I'm probably going to do like a computer update for 7.0, so I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward. All right. I think we have more information based on all this stuff. So actually, as Danielle was saying, there are the...

01:20:46 Upscaling types that were choices, as you mentioned earlier, right? So you can see here, AMD is currently selected. And there was also the 3D graphics resolution scaling. And so this is only when AMD FSR is chosen for your upscaling type. So please make sure to keep that in mind. And this pretty much says when AMD FSR is selected on the Windows and Mac Platte.

01:21:13 The resolution scaling may be adjusted between 50 and 100%. Lowering the value reduces stress on your device, obviously. AMD FSR maintains the desired resolution via spatial upscaling of lower resolution images, ensuring any loss in resolution is less prominent. So pretty much smoother experience and the less you do, the less your computer is stressed.

01:21:42 Ja, du kannst es viel, wenn alle die Wörtern nicht aussehen, wenn du die Schöne sehen kannst, wenn du die Schöne sehen kannst, das ist, wenn du es in die Schöne sehen kannst. Ich bin sicher, wenn du es gesehen hast, eine High-Contraste von color zwischen zwei Objekte, du kannst du einen Anti-Aliasing sehen. Das hilft, das zu smoothen. In, like, simplistic terms. Ja, Lehmann's Terms. Ja. Ja.

01:22:11 So all of these things seem to be...

01:22:37 Some of these are pretty much in place to ensure that you have a more smooth experience when playing the game, which is really nice. It's nice to have the flex. All right. Shall we go ahead and move on to the next? We shall. All right. Minarine, did you want to go over the PS4 and Xbox Series S information? Absolutely. So for PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series S,

01:23:07 Both PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series S will be included in the graphical update, although certain features may not be applicable. For PS4, to reduce the stress on the PS4, supersampling will be reduced, while dynamic resolution and LOD models on distant objects will be forcibly enabled.

01:23:31 And for the Xbox Series S, to reduce the stress on the Xbox Series S, the LOD for Shadows will be forcibly enabled. Yeah, so everything pretty much in place is going to just pretty much ensure that you have a more smooth experience when you come to OnTrail, basically. Yeah, it's definitely keeping performance in mind, which I think is, you know, you don't want to accidentally miss your...

01:24:00 Es ist wie ein Raid-Wide oder so. Ja. Nein, du wirst nicht. Ja. Das ist ein guter Punkt, dass diese Settings sind in place. Ja. All right. Oh, eigentlich, bevor wir in den Blacklist improvements kommen, da waren einige Tidbits und Informationen über Artifacts und Gear in 7.0. Okuyomi, du willst du uns über das?

01:24:23 Yeah, so these weren't actually in the slides. These were more dribble points that Yoshitida went over. But basically, the dev team is retrospectively going back to older gear and character graphics. So some at the launch of 7.0 may look lower resolution compared to others in patch 7.0. So for the artifacts, they have a higher resolution. Sorry, I believe beginning with the ones that were implemented in 6.0.

01:24:52 But they'll be going back and working on these. So I think one example they gave was the 6.0 Paladin artifact armor was used as a test point. So that one will look obviously a lot more higher resolution than maybe some of the other ones that are implemented in the game. But rest assured the dev team does realize this and they are going back and making sure to make those updates when they have time. Yep, yep. And for those of you that have Paladin armor.

01:25:21 I lucked out. Let's just say that. It's a good one to luck out on. It has a lot of shininess to it. Yeah. So like...

01:25:29 I was really excited to see the metallic changes, because I think that's where it's very noticeable with a lot of the graphical updates and changes that they made. So I'm pretty excited to see what that looks like from the Paladin player. And then I'd be really excited to see what the other artifact gear will look like as the dev team updates them over the course of the next upcoming patches. Yeah, I'm really excited. Oh my goodness. All right. So with all of that and the graphics update stuff,

Verbesserungen der Blacklist-Funktionalität, Mute-Liste und Term Filter

01:25:59

01:25:59 So for the blacklist improvements, we're going to have enhanced blacklist functionality.

01:26:28 The mute list added as well, along with the term filters added. And I saw this actually in the live letter, estate expulsion features added and also enhanced lodestone privacy settings as well. Yeah, it's really cool that they're going in and out of the game to make sure that everything is more private, more secure for the player and all that stuff. So really, really awesome. So I think we're going to be actually talking about each one.

01:26:57 The first one being Enhanced Blacklist Functionality. Meinerine, did you want to actually continue with this? Sure. Yes, absolutely. Can do. So with the Enhanced Blacklist Functionality, in addition to the Blacklisted Character's Messages being hidden, the Character Model will also be hidden as well.

01:27:18 And this will apply to all characters tied to the Blacklisted Character Service Account. It'll be applicable in a 7.0 onwards. Awesome.

01:27:28 Und ja, so... Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. One last thing. The blacklist will also distinguish the characters blacklisted from before 7.0 and after 7.0 as well. That's awesome. So, that is... I think that is a really good chance, too, because, like, I know from my end, like, I don't know about y'all, but maybe he had someone who was, like, spamming chat in Limsa.

01:27:51 You know, everyone has been there. And maybe you had blacklisted them just because, like, for a short time. But maybe that person would come back later and they weren't, you know, you didn't want them to be invisible. I think it's definitely a nice thing to have the establishment before and after a 7.0, so you can kind of make your decision on how you want to move forward. Yep. All right. And then we actually have something else added in with this. Actually, can you go ahead and continue onwards with this, Mean Arena, if that's okay?

01:28:20 Sure, of course. Following up, the blacklisted characters will be displayed in certain situations where visibility is necessary, such as when partying together in a duty. However, even when the character model is visible, the name will display as unknown in the pretty list and on their nameplate.

01:28:39 And furthermore, a notification will indicate when they speak during the duties. Players may elect to temporarily see what they've written via the subcommand menu as depicted. Yeah, so this is pretty much like if you have a scenario in which somebody that you don't want to be in a party with is there, but you do need to coordinate and all that stuff. So that's why all this stuff is in place. But otherwise, it's just trying to make sure that you have a very pleasant experience when you play the game.

01:29:08 Ja. All right. So, moving on to the mute list. Okuyomi, do you want to go over that as well? Sure, I'll go over the mute list.

01:29:21 So the mute list is going to hide a muted character's chat messages. It will be applicable to characters who are blacklisted prior to 7.0. So this will apply to basically every character you have. Oh, you can go to the next slide. I can... No, it's all good. Yeah, so if you have... Okay, let's use an example, but I still love you, SciSeeker. Oh, yeah. If I blacklist SciSeeker right now, today...

01:29:50 Then I'll still be able to see SciSeeker when 7.0 comes around, but I will not be able to see any chat messages from SciSeeker. And that's how the UteList will then work. So this gives you... No. No, but sorry, go on ahead. You can go to the next slide. I think there's another part. For sure. That was amazing. Thank you.

01:30:20 Um, but muted characters' names will be displayed as normal, so at least I can see when Psyseeker is saying something or who it's coming from, but when in the same party or alliance, um, a notification will indicate when the person speaks, so maybe I won't, I won't be able to see them there, but I can still, just like the blacklist, use a sub command to basically tell what they're saying, or I can elect to temporarily.

01:30:47 So, this is, I'm sure, I know Chat has pointed out, maybe you had, um, maybe you're just chillin' in Limsa La Mensa, and, uh, someone is, uh, shouting for a, uh, a club. Maybe they're just very enthusiastic about a, uh, you know, a state club. Yeah, yeah. And they're just, they really wanna share with the world that they love squapes. You know? Yeah. Maybe they just, they keep just shoutin', and...

01:31:13 Es ist hart, es ist ein langer Tag, und ich einfach nicht möchte das in meinem Chat zu hören, also ich möchte das auf meine Mute-List machen. Ja, aber die Unterschiede... Oh, sorry. Oh, was ich gesagt? Wenn ich in der Duty dann gehe, und ich so happen, dass vielleicht die Person, die sehr enthüsiäßt über Squapes ist in der Duty, kann ich zumindest electe zu sehen, wenn ich in der Koordinierung. Yep. All right. Yes.

01:31:38 So now we're going to be going over registered information. So this is about the blacklist. So characters blacklisted at any time prior to 7.0 will be carried forward. And up to 200 characters will be registered. And this data is stored server-wide. And characters will remain blacklisted across all platforms. But as character names are saved client-side, their names will only be displayed when playing on the device that they were registered on.

01:32:05 Und für die Mute Liste, 200 Characters kann auch hier sein. Und die Limit ist nicht mit der Blacklist, also das ist eine komplett separatee Liste. Und das ist eigentlich auf der Client-Side, wo diese Characters werden nur auf der Device, die sie in die Anzeige waren. So etwas zu halten. Ich werde das hier ein bisschen mehr halten, um so ein bisschen mehr zu können. So Sie können jetzt über das.

01:32:35 Ja, und ich finde, dass diese sind gesplitzt sind, also du kannst, um... ...selecht die Severeinheit, die du möchtest, um... Ja, wenn es ein Problem ist. Und so, dass diese Flexibilität ist wirklich schön. Und besonders, weil sie beide 200 haben, so... Du kannst du es als sie sehen. Ja, all right.

01:33:00 And so a new one, Final Fantasy XI players, you may know about the term filter stuff, but I believe it works a little bit differently here, right? So we're going to be going over this one. So obviously this filters out messages containing specified terms. You can apply this to say, tell, yell, shout, and slash emote in all circumstances, including duties. However, they...

01:33:27 will not apply to LinkShell, CrossWorld, LinkShell's parties or company chats, so please make sure to keep that in mind. And this data is stored client-side as well. Make sure you use this as you see fit. I mean, there's a chance that you may have certain terms, like...

01:33:51 Okuyomi sagte earlier über die Squapes. Du kannst nicht mehr über die Squapes hören hören, aber du kannst nicht unbedingt die Person sagen, dass es. So, du kannst und blacklist die Termin selbst sagen.

Estate Expulsion Feature und Lodestone Privatsphäre Einstellungen

01:34:05

01:34:05 Ja, ja. All right. Oh, Meinerin, since you said you were pretty enthusiastic about this when you saw it during the PLL, did you want to talk about the Estate Expulsion feature? Yes. This actually got a lot of excitement during the live letter, so I'm very excited to share this with everybody.

01:34:27 The Estate Expulsion feature. Characters who are added to the No Entry List while within your Estate Grounds will be expelled from the Grounds immediately. Characters added to the No Entry List will be unable to enter the Estate for 10 days. And then it applies to all characters on the Expelled Characters Service Account as well. Yep, so this is honestly something I feel like was a very prevalent thing asked for for actually since like

01:34:57 Für Jahre, ich würde sagen. Für Jahre, ich würde sagen. Ich denke, ich habe persönlich gefragt für das, wahrscheinlich in einem Jahr 6, 3... Pretty soon, you know. Ich denke, ich habe ein Player Event in den ersten sechs Monaten von Housing geöffnet. Und das war etwas, ich denke, ich habe auf den Formen so viele Mal gefragt. Ich bin auch sehr glücklich für das, auch.

01:35:22 Ja, so es ist definitiv ein großer Schritt, und ich weiß, dass für die Leute, die in ihrem Leben zu halten, das ist wirklich, wirklich toll für alle, die wünscht für dieses Featuren. Okuyomi, willst du eigentlich noch mehr über das Expulsion? Ich kann, aber ich möchte, dass Mienerine okay ist, weil... Nein, nein!

01:35:47 You were just as excited about this as I was, so go for it. Yes, so the estate equals in future Free Company Masters and Estate Owners will have access to this function. You'll also see that Free Company Masters and Estate Owners can designate up to four Free Company members or housemates to have access to this function, so that's amazing.

01:36:12 Das heißt, dass du ein Helpers hast, wenn du wählst, wenn du wählst. Wenn Spieler mit Explosion Privileges sind in der Estate, jemand registriert in der Blacklist wird automatisch werden, wenn du in der Gäupte in der Gäupte in der Gäupte bist. So, das ist... Das letzte Punkt war wirklich der Punkt, das zu mir ist. Wenn du auf jemanden Blacklist bist, du automatisch bekommst die, sorry, du bist nicht auf der Gäupte, dann hast du...

01:36:41 Tucked out. Yeah. I know we saw during the live letter when this was being announced, I know we saw a lot of just communities in general who are very big into, you know, having player events and focusing around like player estates and just free companies in general. We're very excited for this to finally have like a reason. Sometimes I'm sure, I'm sure everyone's been to an event where maybe you had a roleplay bouncer, but I think that this is the perfect feature for them.

01:37:09 Ja, es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Ja, es ist einfach so. Ja, es ist einfach so. Ich denke, von einem Spieler-Protection-Protektion-Protektion, es ist wirklich spannend für uns zu sehen, aber auch zu sehen, dass es uns zu begeben, zu unseren Spielern, die so viel Spiel-Driven-Kontakt haben, in den Städten in generell. Mhm, mhm. Oh ja, shoutouts to the Bouncer. Ja.

01:37:38 Moving forward, there are some enhanced lodestone privacy settings as well. So this will obviously give the player greater control over privacy settings on the lodestone. And this can limit pretty much who can view certain aspects of your lodestone character page, such as your profile, achievements, and friends. And these settings can be limited to friends, free company members, link shell members, and etc.

01:38:03 Oder du kannst einfach aus den Lodestone-Charakter-Searchen gehen. So all diese Dinge sind wirklich, wirklich toll. Ja, das ist eine Reaktionung für eine lange Zeit. Es ist etwas, was...

01:38:19 ...we're very happy to see this now being applied... ...to better protect our players in severe situations. Yep. All right. Yeah, there is more that is added to the lodestone... ...which is the block list being added to here. And notifications regarding the activity... ...and blog entries of blocked players will no longer display.

01:38:44 These block players will be unable to see your activity and the above settings will also apply to characters added to your in-game blacklist. So this actually ties into everything that you have applied in-game. So just make sure you keep all this in mind.

01:39:01 Ja, es ist super schön, dass wir das in-game und Lodestone-Funktionalität haben. So dass es das Respecs ist, eigentlich. Ja. Super excited zu sehen, wie das geht. Und ich weiß, dass es noch was, was wir immer noch haben. Also, wenn du irgendwelche Tipps hast, wenn du soziale Features möchtest, und du möchtest, auch wenn du sie in 7.0 probierst, oder du findestellst, was vielleicht nicht funktioniert.

01:39:29 Please let us know. We're always reading the forums. We're always reading the subreddit. So we would love to hear more about that so that we can pass that to the dev team and try and make a better user experience for you. Yep. We're honestly just trying our best to make sure that we could address some of the issues that have been like facing players for a very long time. So we wanted to try our best to make sure that we can give these additional protections to people.

01:39:54 So hopefully with these improvements to Blacklisting and all that stuff, please make sure you utilize them where appropriate, and we hope that things are gonna work out for you. Yes, I think that was pretty much everything that we had for Blacklist, yes?

Yo-Kai Watch Collaboration Event und weitere bevorstehende Events

01:40:13

01:40:13 Yes, we went over a lot. Yes, now moving on, we actually have another collab that is coming. And it may be familiar to some veteran players, which is something people could, you know, look at real quick. So on April 24th, the Yo-Kai Watch Collaboration event will return. But this time, I believe there's going to be certain new things that are going to be a part of this collab.

01:40:42 Like the frames and stuff for adventurer plates and portraits, right? Yes. And then one quick thing, I'm just trying to double check, because I do know that these times are listed in JST. So I'm just trying to confirm that when the conversion happens, it is Wednesday. It might be Tuesday for us. Ooh, for sure. Thank you. Yeah, no, I'm just pointing that out there, because these times are listed in JST.

01:41:07 Around that time, let's say that. Let's say around April 24th. Yeah, sounds good to me. But yes, this is a preview of the Framers kit. You can see all the stuff that you can go ahead and place down. If Javanyan is your homie and you want him on your adventure plate somewhere, there you go. I love Javanyan. Yeah, I love Javanyan. I need this Framers kit. I want it for the stars. Look at the star plate.

01:41:35 Oh, yeah. I know, I know. All of it is. There's the background plate with the stars, and then there's the, like, nameplate with the stars. The little Yo-Kai are cute, too, but I just heard stars. I may be biased. At least you're honest, Okoyobi. Look, I may be a little biased, but I really do like the little Jovanya face. Look at that. So cute.

01:41:55 All right, and then now let's go ahead and move forward. So this is pretty much a schedule until Dawn Trail release, but do keep in mind this is, as Okuyomi said, listed in the JST Times, so please make sure to keep that in mind when viewing this calendar so we can go ahead and see that the crossover event for Final Fantasy XVI is still undergoing, and it is happening up until, I want to say, May 8th. Am I getting that right? I believe so.

01:42:22 Ja, May 8. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

01:42:50 Es ist ein viel. Es sind Minions, es sind Mounds, es sind die Weapons. Es ist ein viel. Es ist für alle, ich fühle mich. Es ist die Yo-Kai Watch Collaboration Event. Es ist wirklich, wirklich toll. Ja. Oh mein Gott, Chat Goddess 2020 war das letzte Mal. Ich wusste, es war eine lange Zeit. Es ist eine sehr lange Zeit. Ich weiß, ich weiß. All right. So, ich weiß nicht. Und dann haben wir die Mughal Treasure Trove.

01:43:17 The second hunt for Genesis. And I believe this is starting around May 14th. So keep an eye out for that. All of the weekly duties and stuff are really, really cool. And the way that this works is a lot different if you did participate in the first hunt. So please keep that in mind as well. All right.

01:43:42 And then next up, we have the Make It Rain campaign starting on, it looks like May 15th. And it'll be going on all the way till May 31st. Really, really awesome.

01:43:55 Wow, there's a lot of stuff coming, huh? I know. Oh, and this is for all the influencers out there. The media tour is going to be happening around the time that the Make It Rain campaign is undergoing. So please keep that in mind. And yeah, please look forward to the information that a bunch of our content creators will have for you in the days following this.

01:44:24 All right, I believe, oh, yep, I think there's two live letters. There's one happening on the 16th, it looks like, of May, and then the other one. Oh, I'm so sorry. Dragon Quest Collaboration Event is going to be coming back, and this is on June 5th, and that's going to be ending around June 20th or so. Once again, keep in mind that these are all set to JST time, so just to make sure to convert as needed.

01:44:53 Und ja, da ist der andere Lektor von der Produkte live, am Ende von Juni 14. So, es scheint immer so, dass die Mitte des Jahres immer mehr und mehr wichtig ist. Und dann, natürlich, da wird eine 4-8-Hour-Maintenance, weil, auf Juni 28, Early Access für Dawntrail beginnt. Und das wird dann...

01:45:23 Superhype! Superhype! Superhype! Superhype! Yes, and then all this is going to be going up and leading up until the official launch of Dawn Trail. So, if you wanted to go ahead and just absorb all this information in before we go ahead and conclude this first part of the stream, you can go ahead and check and peruse all this information as you see fit.

01:45:49 Yes, a lot of June birthdays coming up, it seems, so I hope you enjoy your birthday. Ooh, that's a nice birthday present, right? You have your birthday and then you go right into Dawn Trail. Ooh, and then Zexo says, the development team will try and get the patch up as soon as we start the 48-hour maintenance so you have enough time to patch before the early access goes live. That is true. Make sure you keep that in mind.

01:46:18 They were talking about that, hopefully, because with the graphics and everything, just a larger file size. We'll be sure to share more details with that as we get them. Yep, yep. And I believe that was it for the first part of the Letter from the Producer Live, but Yoshida did mention how there was a special statement.

01:46:46 um, after he finished up all the slides and everything, and he mentioned how the world is evolving, uh, not as much as virtual MMOs, but we're heading towards a more virtual environment, and it's just almost a matter of time until it happens, right? And the features and the things that he's been curious about and how it'll be, um...

01:47:09 There's also parts where some theorize that our current world might just be a simulation. Ooh. So why don't we have the features to hide someone which could help with quality of life? And in an ideal world, he wishes that people don't have to use features like this, but we understand. And that's why a lot of changes, especially to the blacklist improvements, are being implemented. So that was something that he wanted to stress.

01:47:38 ...to everybody who plays XIV. Hopefully you exude the patience and understanding... ...so that you don't have to end up utilizing these features. But again, he does understand why these kinds of things are needed. So yeah. I think that actually... ...I'm going to go ahead and set up for part two. What do you think of the information so far, Okuyomi and Minarine?

01:48:03 Oh man, there was a lot to dive into, right? There was so much. So graphics update, I loved the waves. That was my favorite part. But what about you, Metering?

01:48:14 I actually like seeing the floor textures. There have been many times in my journeys in Final Fantasy XIV where I've just dropped my controller and the camera stand and I'm looking at the floor. I've been very acquainted with the floors of Eorzea. So seeing these changes I'm like, wow.

01:48:40 Ja. Es ist wirklich so schlimm. Es ist wirklich so schlimm. Nein, ich fühle mich auf purpose, du vielleicht endest auf dem floor. Und sie sind einfach so, was du tun, Minerian? Und sie sind einfach so, shh. Die ground ist stinking zu mir. Ja. Oh, man. Das ist ein guter Punkt, though. Wenn es um die Blackliste gibt, ich weiß, dass wir beide über die Erste Explosion waren, und ich glaube, wir waren beide sehr excited für die Erste Explosion. Ich denke, das ist vielleicht nur, weil, für mich, es ist Personal Usage, right? Ich könnte viel zu finden. Aber...

01:49:09 Ja, ich denke, viele der Blackliste improvements sind für eine lange Zeit gekommen. Und es ist super schön, dass sie endlich sagen, hey, look, das ist, die Dev Team ist bringen das zu Ihnen. Please enjoy them. Und ich denke, es ist, um, zu enden auf Yoshida's Statement, es ist etwas, dass, in einem Weltraum, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss, man muss. Ja. So, um, ich werde, um, ein paar mehr Sachen zu machen, wirklich kurz.

01:49:38 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

01:50:04 Do you want an icebreaker? You said you were nervous. Do you want an icebreaker? What's the icebreaker? Well, chat was saying, what are all of our three mains? Oh. Might be a nice segue. So what is your main icebreaker? I'm a viper player. I'm just kidding. I play monk through and through 100% every single day of my life. Well, that's good because I'm going to be a beast nicer main. Except not really. I mean, you could be.

01:50:32 Maybe in the future. Yeah. What about you, Minarine? I played Dancer, but in a previous iteration of myself, I played Scholar. Wow. Yeah, I mean, there were always just, like, different times when some of those jobs, right? But Monk has always been there, and forever it shall remain in my heart. Do you feel less nervous now?

01:50:56 Kind of, but we'll see what happens here. But yes, this is now going into the second half of the Letter from the Producer Live. And this is based on all the survey findings. We haven't really changed much, so we're going to be trying to adapt this as best as we can into English. So here we go. You both ready? Oh, I'm ready. I'm ready. So, a realm resplendent with Warriors of Light. And this is all based on everybody. It's crazy.

01:51:25 So here we go, a 10-year journey of expanding our horizons. And what has that contained exactly? So, I know that this is mention of 3,000. I know it says 3,000 in front of you all, because we love you 3,000. I'm just kidding. But this actually stands for the beginning of the amount. So this is pretty much translated into Sanzen.

01:51:53 Aber dann ist es 3.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.

01:52:22 That's a lot of players in Eorzea. That's a lot. Yep, yep. So, all right. But I think there is even more information that we can go ahead and look up. So let's go ahead and move on and check out 240. What could be 240? Like 240 Fantasias consumed on a daily basis? No, it's got to be higher than that. There's no way. There's no way. Don't joke.

01:52:51 So what is it on then? Let's go ahead and see.

01:53:00 But this game, Final Fantasy XIV, has had 240 accolades received worldwide, and we were nominated 313 times. I don't know what kind of greater honor it is to be part of, like, a game that has such, like, critical acclaim, you know what I mean? Crazy. Yeah. So much, too. And brown of applause for the dev team, because they have put in so much work to making this happen. Truly. Development and operations. Yes.

01:53:30 Big ups to them. Big ups to all of you. Thank you for helping us get these awards, truly. Thank you, thank you. All right. Let's go ahead and see what the next number is. 88. What is this, you ask? It is the 88 Aetheryte that have been reached throughout our journeys these 10 years. It's crazy.

01:53:57 Whoa, wait, so I'm trying to think, well, does that mean, I don't think we'll hit 100 then, right? I mean, Dontrell, we'll be right under it, I think. We might, actually. Maybe we might hit it. We might, yeah. That's for all of you to determine. Only time will tell. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Gosh, it's crazy, because in 2.0, there was a total of 27 Aetheryte, right? Stop, Anima. I don't want to talk about it. Oh, my God.

01:54:23 We don't talk about that. I'm sorry, but it's okay. But, you know, just keep that in mind that everything started out with 27. Now we're going up. And I believe we have another slide. But what number is it going to be this time? 325. And this stands for the amount of...

01:54:50 Duties. Drumroll. Available. What? The Duty Finder. What? Yeah. That's so crazy. But... That's almost a year! That's almost like a duty a year! That's true. Oh, wow. Oh my gosh. But... It's crazy. They did want you all to know that these are the duties involving battle, which does not include the Gold Saucer, PvP, or content like Eureka. Only ones that are done via the Duty Finder. So please keep that in mind.

01:55:19 um the amount of actual like content that does exist does actually exceed this number but this is just in terms of the duties and the duty finder technically there is one like almost one for every year then oh my gosh we're getting closer to that number just for you yeah oh my gosh you can make a calendar out of it oh it's just like what duty am i going into today yeah oh my gosh that's funny

01:55:47 All right, shall we move on to the next quantity given to us? Yes, yes. All right, 159. And this 159 stands for... ...hours of cutscenes. That's insane. There is 159 hours of cutscenes in Final Fantasy XIV. Oh my gosh.

01:56:16 How many days is that? I don't know, I have to break out from my calculator right now. And while you are calculating that, they did mention that back... Six days. Oh my gosh. It's like 6.6 days. Oh my gosh. Wow. Yeah, like back on the 5th anniversary stream, they also showed this, but the number was actually at 75. So it's a little over doubled in the past five years. That's insane. That's crazy.

01:56:45 Ja, wenn du einfach Autoplay hast, würde es so schnell sein. Oh mein Gott. Oh, und Zeknos hat es auch noch gesagt, dass diese eigentliche cutscenes sind, und nicht diejenigen, die du einfach nur mit den NPCs mit Dialogboxen sprechen kannst. Das ist crazy. Das ist, wie, zwei Wochen technisch. Ich bin ein slowes Reader. Das ist, wie, zwei Wochen für mich. Das ist so viel Content, doch. Das ist gut.

01:57:12 Can you imagine being a little sprout right now? They'd be like, I have so much to do, I'm having so much fun, and they're critically acclaimed, Final Fantasy XIV, yes! Like, what hour are you on? You know, number 1.05? It's just like, ugh. Maybe we should start asking people that instead, not what patch you're on, what hour? Yeah, right? It's kind of like the equivalent of asking how many episodes into an anime series somebody is, you know?

01:57:39 Ja, ich liebe das. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich das Gefühl habe. Ich muss nachdenken. Ich muss nachdenken, wenn wir über den nächsten Mal nachdenken. Ich muss nachdenken, was der Punkt der Punkt ist. Das ist der Punkt für all die Little Sprouts. So, you know, right? Aber du musst dich wissen. Du musst dich sagen, was du bist 60? Ich denke, es ist ... Ich weiß nicht, es ist 60. Vielleicht. Dann werden sie sagen, oh, vielleicht. Ich bin auf 59. Du musst dich sagen, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:58:08 Yeah, what episode are you on for that? Yeah, exactly. What Zexo said in chat. Yeah. Alright, and then next up we have another vast quantity coming up, and that number is 4,917. Now, does that stand for the number of Fantasia Z's per day? Is that one closer? I think it's a little lower than that.

01:58:34 Alright, but this number actually stands for... Ooh.

01:58:42 The minutes of music that are in Final Fantasy XIV. Sogen going hard on this. Woah. Sogen and the entire sound team. Oh my gosh. Props to them. So long. That's about 82 hours of music. Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness.

01:59:05 There was also a note here that says the number of songs available in-game is different from the number of songs available in original soundtracks. But we have 1,583 songs in-game. And during the fifth year anniversary, there was only 498 songs that totaled 2,000 minutes. So this is also like more than double an increase. So that's crazy. Oh my gosh. Wow, that is super crazy.

01:59:34 Mm-hmm. All right. Yes. Shall we move on to the next quantifiable measure? Ooh. Yes. Warriors of Light, you never cease to amaze. What is this about? In the past year, is this tons? 16,096 tons? I think that's tons, yeah. Yeah, and it's equal to the platinum reserves in Earth. That's crazy.

02:00:02 Was ist das genau das? Was ist das?

02:00:10 Es ist, in den letzten Jahren, der Total Weight von Materia meldet. Das ist das, was das heißt. Oh, wait, der Total Meldet meldet? Meldet. So, es ist Successfully meldet? Ja, nur die Successes, nicht nur die NUMBER von Materias, die Meldet durch die Meldung. Ich fühle mich nicht genug, wir brauchen die Meldung. Wir brauchen die Meldung.

02:00:38 Wait, hold on. And there's an asterisk down there. With a conversion rate of one material equals 100, is that grams? 100 grams? I think that's grams. Yeah. That's insane. But yeah, there you go. It's weight. It's weight, by the way. Well, hold on. We gotta look at this objectively, right? Is piety 1 the same weight as a piety 6? Oh, man. Okay, Yomi, not now.

02:01:07 Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so. Ja, das ist einfach so.

02:01:35 Oh my gosh. Chat is demanding we know the right answer. It's like if your map teacher writes like, no, this isn't right. And then like, please, please write your work. And then show your work. Yes! Oh my gosh. All right. My goodness. But you know, there is also another measurement that they weighed down, I believe. So let's go ahead and get into that, shall we?

02:02:05 Okay, I'm ready for this one. Oh. And this one is 46,152 kilometers in the past year. And this is a distance surpassing the circumference of Earth. And I wonder what this unit of measurement means. So let's go ahead and see. And this is in the past year, the quarks fired from bottles of Rail Reborn Red Blue.

02:02:33 So I don't know what's happening, but y'all are popping off, like, for sure, for sure. Okay, well, we have to ask. We had to ask with the other one. What if you shake it, like, for longer periods of time and you get part of the fizziness? Yeah, can we get some, like, Beorzean scholars on this? Yes!

02:02:55 Okay, wait, each quirk is considered to have flown a distance of 10 meters. Okay, but what about the ones who did 15 meters? I feel like they're taking out the outliers in this situation, Okoyome. Just like the way that they took off the embellishments on those great 9s and 10s of those materia.

02:03:13 We need the data. We need the average of 10 meters. Maybe the average. Yeah. That is insane. Yeah. All right. Shall we go ahead and move on? It's going to be a question with all of them, size speaker. It's going to happen. Ooh, okay. So I think this is saying in one year, what is this? 54,350,656.

02:03:40 Leaders. Oh my gosh. Did I say that correctly? I'm hoping I did. But yeah, this is nearly more than the annual consumption of ketchup in the US. Like what? That's a lot of ketchup. Show of hands. Do you use ketchup? Do you have ketchup? I have to.

02:04:01 Hold on, we have to ask though. Is it ketchup on the hot dogs? Is it ketchup on the fries? Is it ketchup on your burgers? Or is it like the eggs? Because the eggs, no, we don't put it on the eggs. We don't eat eggs. But we can run the like... Oh man. Okay, see I see. We're like... Oh, people are thinking this is like Fantasia's drink. Oh my gosh. But yeah, this is actually based on... Ayo, shoutouts to Ranch. I see you, homie.

02:04:32 Aber ja, das ist wirklich mehr als die annual konsumtion von Ketchup in den USA. Und das ist die Menge von Concoctions imbibed in den letzten Jahren. Oh mein Gott. Ich weiß nicht, ob das includes Fantasias. So, es hat die Fantasia, so das würde... Oh, es ist.

02:04:53 Ja, ich glaube, es ist das, was das? Ja. Ich glaube, es gibt Eureka und die Dungeons-Dungeons, die auch konsumieren. High Cordials.

02:05:06 Oh, das ist wirklich das? Das ist nicht Phantasia. Oh, das ist wahrscheinlich ein Icon für Elixirs oder so. Das macht Sinn. Oh mein Gott, für die Gathering, das macht viel Sinn. Ich habe so viele davon. Oh, für sicher. All right, aber ja, wollen wir sehen was nächstes? Ja, ja. All right.

02:05:33 Was das nächste Mal ist, dass wir unsere Warriors of Light kennenlernen kennenlernen. Und so, wann die Survey-Participanten starten? So, um, das vielleicht nicht wirklich passt zu all of you in Chat. So, wir wollen Sie fragen, wann du starten Final Fantasy XIV? Was es in A Realm Reborn? Heavens War? Stormblood? Shadowbringers? Endwalker?

02:05:58 Aber das ist natürlich auch nicht die 1.0-Legacy-Player, also wo du startest, Chat?

02:06:06 I see a lot. I think we've covered all aspects, although it's kind of hard to tell if the chat representation is skewed to what the survey results for. I've seen some people typing yes. Shout out to the FF11 homies. Yeah. Oh, man. Are y'all excited for Dawn Trail, especially for Echo's Vanadeel? That's going to be insane, huh? Super excited. That's going to be very fun.

02:06:36 All right, shall we go ahead and move on to the next measurement? Or otherwise? Sorry, excuse me. Popularity polls now at this point. So this is based on favorite mounts. Actually, before we go into these favorite things, there are certain things that are gated by story. Like I know certain mounts are gated, certain bosses are gated, certain areas are gated.

Beliebte Reittiere, Minions und Lieblingsorte

02:07:04

02:07:04 Um, so please, um, if you are not far along enough, um, we do want to give that disclaimer before we end up, like, accidentally spoiling something for you. So, just in case, we're just making sure. You have been warned. Okay, we're going now. Spoiler alert. Alright, so I think first we're going to be going through our, uh, ten through four. So here we go, favorite mounts.

02:07:33 Oh, Black Chocobo, Regalia Type-G, Garland GL-2, Pod 602, Mega Shiba, Amaro, and Demi-Azma. Okuyomi and Miniraine, do either of you use any of these often? Hmm, no. Toto, one and all me. Okay, I use the Amaro, the Mega Shiba, and the Regalia Type-G quite often, actually. Oh, depends.

02:08:02 I think I have all of these except for the Megashiba. Oh. I know what to get you for your birthday. Aw, thank you. Yeah, for sure. So I do have them. I do have them. Oh, okay. Dodo number one. For sure. Alright, but now we're going to be going into our top three, ladies and gentlemen. So Wu is taking the third spot. If you guessed it, Fatter Cat.

02:08:30 Then you are correct. May your meows be strong and your travels be fluffy. Or something. I don't know. Well, it's a void set in between. Oh, right. I forgot that there was that bit about it right now. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Alright, let's see who's taken place number two, second place. The SDS Fenrir. Gotta get that speed boost. I'm just saying. Yep.

02:08:58 Vroom vroom! Das macht Sinn, aber... Es macht die Nummer 1. Ich habe gesehen, und die Antwort ist Chocobo.

02:09:24 Torgel! No! Torgel just came out! Ja, imagine, though. That'd be insane. It would be. Actually, I think the results were done before Torgel was in the game. Yeah, true. I mean, it could have been overtaken at this point. Alright, you'll never know. Alright. Now, next up, what are some favorite minions? We're going to go through ranks 4 through 10.

02:09:52 Oh, Wind-Up Alpha, Black Coral, Shoebill, Wind-Up Horchifon, Corgi, Morpho, and Mid-Guard Swimmer. Pretty good list. Yeah, solid list so far, yeah. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I like it. But who took number three? Let's see. Lesser Panda taking the number three spot, and spot number two? It looks like Fat Cat has once again shown its dominance here today.

02:10:22 I feel like a sports announcer. I'm just like... And coming up at the number one spot, we have the Starbird. And it's been a fantastic year because it looks like everybody will see stars lately, if you ask me. I'm sorry. But that's what it feels like, right? It's just like... Yeah. This one's actually crazy to me. Like, when I saw this, I was like, I don't know. I don't know about this one. But if it is, like, you know, data don't lie.

02:10:50 Das ist verrückt, wie viele Spieler haben durch Endwalker gespielt. Das stimmt. Ja, das ist sehr wahr. Und auch, wie sie aus dem Weg zu haben, um das Ding zu fangen. Das Bird? Ja. Es ist wirklich verrückt. Ich dachte, es wäre ein Baby Chocobo. Das war mein guess, aber...

02:11:15 No, it's not. I'm still a little suspicious, but I agree with you. I don't even have the Starbird. That's why I'm suspicious. Of course, if I don't have it, I haven't even seen it. Are you suspicious or are you salty? Because I'm the latter. I'm definitely salty. I don't have this yet. I think I am salty. Okay, I'll own that one. I'm a little salty right now. So, all right. So next up, what is our favorite home point?

02:11:43 So, um, this is saying, like, uh, Kokoro no Honpointo. So this is saying, like, where your heart belongs, essentially. And this is the following results from it. So here we go. Ooh, Shirogane, Mist, Lavender Beds, Razat Han, Ishgard, the Crystarium, and Uldah. Makes sense.

02:12:07 All right. I think lavender beds for me. I'm usually in lavender beds. Oh, for sure. I feel like I'm in... Oh, that makes sense. That really makes sense for you. For me, I feel like I'm in Costa del Sol a lot. I'm trying to soak in those Dawntrail vibes, you feel me? Trying to get a good tan for Dawntrail. Yeah, exactly. I believe it. All right, but let's see who took spot number three or where.

02:12:36 Spot number three is Old Charlien. Okay, it'd be a nice place. Mm-hmm. Especially if you like cold weather. Yeah. And it's got a very, I mean, the last stand's there, right? Like, you gotta stop by. Yeah. And then next up is Gridania. Wow. That's awesome. But coming in at the number one spot, it is...

02:13:02 Lipsalumensa. Okay, I feel like that was like the easiest one to pick out, right? Like 100% Lipsalumensa. Shocker, right? Exactly. Who would have thunk? Not me. But there you go. It's a Saturday night. You're bored. You're like, what do I do? And you're like, I'm going to go sit in Lipsalumensa. Yeah. I'm going to go see what's going down. All right.

Die gefährlichsten Gegner in Final Fantasy XIV

02:13:27

02:13:27 Okay, so let's go ahead and see what is up next. The most formidable foe. Now, this we have been clearly instructed to make sure to give a spoiler before we do this one in particular. So, please, please, please, I'm giving you this warning now. If you are not far, I'm doing it at 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.

02:13:56 Okay, now we're gonna go. So here is the current ranking. Neil deus Darnus, Hephaistos, Zenos, Pandemonium, Zodiark, Athena, and Hydaelyn. He's kind of had the whole family on there. I know. Yeah, we were talking about that.

02:14:21 We just needed Eric on there, and we would have had the entire family. I actually thought that was a really hard encounter, so that makes sense. Yeah, although I see chat, and a lot of people are asking, why is everything not perfect, Alexander? I agree, okay? Kate Westman, Rita Teen, first place for sure. Let's see if Zexos is right about this. But in third place, we have the Warrior of Light.

02:14:51 And in 2nd place we have the Endsinger. And last, but certainly, the most formidable foe has been... ...Hades. This makes sense. It does. Behold, the Sorcerer of Elde tremble before me. Oh, I thought you were going to say the Sorcerer of Elde, because he made so many people lose. I thought that's what you were going for. No, I'm quoting her from that point. I mean...

02:15:20 Ich meine, vielleicht. Vielleicht. Ja. Aber es macht Sinn. Viele Leute sagen Shadowbringer und N-Walker sind wirklich die Liste. Ja. Das ist so gut.

02:15:33 All right. And now we have some other fun things that we can talk about, too. I think this is the word cloud stuff. So keep in mind, this is not a direct translation from players in each region mentioned. But there are the ones for Japan. Let's sit here.

02:15:56 Und dann für uns... Look at that FF-11. Ja. Ja. So gut, right? Ja, das ist die erste in Englisch. Und wir wollten euch ein Heads-Up sagen, dass da vielleicht ein Showcase der deutschen und deutschen Resultat in der Zukunft wird, auf der Lodestone, auf eine spezielle Site. So, wenn ihr euch interessiert über diese Art und all diese Sachen, dann wird es dir geben.

02:16:24 Um, at some point. So just keep that in mind. All right. So, and, uh, what's crazy about everything is that, uh, yeah, I think we're actually done. We're going to be going into some more miscellaneous things and all that stuff. So, um, are you both ready to actually dive into it? I'm, I'm ready. I think it's, uh, is it announcement time? Is it announcement time? It's announcement time. So shall we go ahead and, uh, yeah.

02:16:53 Here we go. Minarine or Okuyomi, either of you want to take this one?

Ankündigungen zu japanischen Exklusivprodukten und Hydaelyn & Zodiarc Figuren

02:16:59

02:17:00 Das ist die Wajimanuri, oder die Lacquerware Design Plates, in Japan. Diese werden solltet werden in den Jahrzehnten in der Jahrzehnte. Die Details werden über das Jahrzehnte veröffentlicht werden. Und ich glaube, diese werden in Japan nur in Japan. Und dann auch, die Japan nur in Japan ist, ist diese Fotobook. Das ist wirklich toll. Memories of Light.

02:17:29 Very, very cool. And then next up are these also other Japanese exclusives. The Eorzea Popoto chips. Yummy chip. Deliciously hot floor tank. Is that konsome? Konsome?

02:17:52 Oh my gosh. I think I got it right. Okay. I don't, I just, I'm more like surprised, oh my gosh, that floor tank is on like the official terminology for these potato chips. That's amazing. I feel like this goes all the way back to that April Fool's part where what's called the Pixel Titan and the Dragoon, right? Uh-huh. Yep.

02:18:19 Oh, and then there are now... We're planning to show this one, but some things came up. But we are now accepting pre-orders for Wave 2 of the Hydaelyn and Zodiarc Maester quality figures. And these will be priced at $359.99. And as a purchase bonus, you will get the emote Ballroom Etiquette Apocalyptic Charades. And you can see that it went off in the middle of the slide right there.

02:18:48 And for all of us in North America, or pretty much in the West in general, delivery is expected to be around October. So keep that in mind. Yeah, and that's for the wave, too. We definitely know that first wave. Players have been receiving that. So please make sure, mark your calendars, make sure that you're getting ready to go ahead and put in that pre-order for this really, really awesome statue, really, really awesome emote.

02:19:18 Okay. And then next up we have the Planetarium show that is happening only in Japan. And it is the tale of Eorzea's Divine and Celestial. That's really cool. And they're going to be in various planetariums around Japan. And this is going to be starting Tuesday, May 7th. That's really cool. Yeah. All right. If you're visiting and want to check it out, be sure to. Because I know we've kind of all seen some people share from the first round. And it was cool.

02:19:48 Und, ihr wisst, Yoshida von Final Fantasy XVI fragt uns zu eröffnen. Ich hörte ihn und Yoshida von der XIV-Fahrt sind. Sie kennen uns alle, es ist verrückt. Aber sie wollten uns über die Risen Tide kommen zu Final Fantasy XVI auf April 18.

02:20:12 So mark your calendars on that, especially if you are an avid fan of Final Fantasy XVI. So, yeah, make sure you keep that in mind. All right. I think that pretty much wraps things up on our end, right? Yeah, through the announcements, it does. Yeah, so I believe that is it. We are actually going to do something else on our side. So if you are...

Community Commendations und Fan Art Showcase

02:20:40

02:20:40 Frequent viewer of Due to Commence, you'll know that we usually do this segment called Community Commendations. And it is a chance for all of us to showcase all of you through your various artworks and all that stuff. So Minarine and Okuyomi, are you both ready for this? I'm ready. I'm ready. Here we go.

02:21:03 Oh, oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, that was the wrong one. I am messing this up. I'm so sorry. Okay, it means that when we get to the first slide, it's gonna be amazing. It was showing off the arc video. I'm so sorry about that. But it's cool, right? Anyways, let's go ahead and start community accommodations. I'm so sorry.

02:21:29 All right. Someone made the Arc Mount. I mean, somebody technically did, right? If someone wants to send us fan art of the Arc Mount, we'll be sure to show it. For real. All right. Minarine, did you want to go ahead and start this off? Yes, absolutely. So first up, we have an art piece of Ryunosuke in his little...

02:21:53 Das war so viel Spaß. Es war so viel Spaß.

02:22:20 Ja, und für die Rekord, Minarine ist real auf Reddit. Ich denke, wir haben. Oh, ja, ich bin real auf Reddit. Oh, ja, ich bin real auf Reddit. Wait, das ist nicht so, dass sie einfach... Oh, no, sie ist real, okay? Ich bin real, everyone. Du kannst sie hören, du hast ihn schon gesehen. Es ist nicht ein Scham. Minarine, oder se underscore Minarine on...

02:22:47 The FFXI 14, Final Fantasy 14 subreddit is real. If it happens again, we'll have to step in and make sure. That was a fun day. I stepped away from the reddit and I was just like, oh, hey, what's happening? Oh, okay. We're going to have to address this. Anyway, thank you so much for submitting. I love this. Yes, it's so cute. It's so cute. It's very stylized. I love...

02:23:16 wie es die kleine Emoji sparkles gibt, und dann die kleine star in der eye, und dann die Kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau-kau

02:23:43 Akrula von Ultros. Aber das ist nicht ein Schertluss-Lizard. Es ist ein sehr Kostüme-Orienten, kleine Skree. Und das ist so schön. Mit Mionosuke. Ich liebe es, wie sie es mit der Great Serpent Aronka hat. Es ist perfekt. Look at him, Skree. All happily. So sick. Ja. Kwe, Skree. Oh, ich liebe es. So cute.

02:24:11 Yes, thank you so much for this piece. So adorable, so cute, so accurate. All right, next up, we have Helmet Bird, or the artist being Yoru of Exodus, and this is of the character Grindbrita, Syl Bundwin of Exodus, dude.

02:24:37 Names are insane. I'm so sorry if any of us butcher your names, but we're not doing it on purpose. Just FYI. This is awesome. I really like crochet work. So really, really cute. So the fun note about this entry, actually, the submission. So the artist actually crocheted this character and it's their brother. That's their brother's character in Final Fantasy XIV. Cute. I love how much color detail they use.

02:25:06 I can only imagine how long that would have taken. Especially look at the hair, how you have that jagged edges going up and down. That's a lot of swat. I've done crochet maybe twice in my life, but it was hard and it took a long time. This is so cool to see. Very, very awesome work. This had to have taken a long time, especially doing the gradient details and just the details in general on this.

02:25:35 It's immaculate. It's so good. Yeah. So cool. Thank you so much for sharing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right. Next up, Haminarain, who do we got? Uh, we have Ray Shet... Shetketay? Sorry for mispronouncing your name. This is, uh, Chika Valritz from Moogle. And I believe this is a Rogadin Dark Knight? Awesome. Wow. I really like Rogadins that have those. Yeah.

02:26:04 Ja, ich denke, wie sie die Weapon-Effekt war, ist mein Favorit. Es ist so Detail, so warm und wie, oh man, es ist auf fire. So gut. Really, really awesome work. Ich liebe die Intensity in this Rogadin's Eyes. Und das ist eigentlich die Hairstyle, die ich benutze, wenn ich Rogadin habe. So gut. Oh, ja. Amazing. Ich liebe die Kontraste. Es ist so gut. Vielen Dank für's Zuschauen.

02:26:32 Alright, Okuyomi, who do we have next? Next up, we have Matt Vermeule, 1215, for Arik Starslayer from Siren. Oh, very nice. This is who I think this is. This is our friend. Our enemy. Our best friend. Our frenemy. Our frenemy. Yeah, why couldn't we call him that? Why couldn't we just straight up call him frenemy? Because, I mean, that's what he is, essentially, right?

02:26:59 Ja. Oh, sorry. No, go ahead. Somebody was saying how it looks, it gives like a very retro vibe of like the classic anime. Yeah, right. I was thinking that exact same thing. Well, not only that, to piggyback off that comment of like how the retro look, it's in watercolor, which I think even it's like work from that time, you would see it either in like...

02:27:26 Ich denke, es ist Copic oder ist es? Ich denke, es ist Watercolor. Aber jetzt ist es, ich frage mich, ob es Copic und Watercolor ist. Aber ich liebe es. Ich meine, sie sind in Chat gerade jetzt, so sie können wahrscheinlich klarstellen. Ja. Also, das ist sehr viel für mich ein bestimmtes Retro-Anime-Vibes. Was ist der Name?

02:27:52 The flower of the French Palace, if you know what I'm talking about. Oh, and the artist did confirm its watercolor on paper. That's so cool. Wow. Yeah, it takes a lot of patience. For anyone who hasn't worked with watercolor, it takes a lot of patience, especially when you get that kind of gradient. So this is so cool to see. I'm sure it took a lot of time to get this, but we love seeing our frenemy. Yep. All right.

02:28:18 And then shall we move on to the next one? Thank you so much, by the way, for being here and submitting this piece. Really awesome of you. All right. And then let's move on. Oh, sorry.

02:28:32 Next up, we have Renjumin, or Prince Moriarty of Sophia. And it's of the homie Alphinau. Or as some would also state, Blue Alize. You know, I had to sit there because they have the red from the sun reflecting, and I was like, wait. Wait a minute. Yeah.

02:29:00 Es gibt mir, ist es das Red oder ist das Blue? Ja, ich liebe es. Ich liebe die Detail. Ren Jumin ist in Chat. Schauts out to you. Thank you so much for allowing us to showcase this. Ja. Ja, thank you, thank you. Oh my gosh, I love the detail of the hair. Alfino is really cool. I really like his character a lot. And his wardrobe, I really like a lot. Honestly, it's a very fitting image for him, right?

02:29:28 Und ich denke, dass der Rett in den Rett ist wirklich cool. Weil du weißt, dass er seine Frau lebt, richtig? Ja, sehr gut so. Es ist auch cool in diesem Bereich. Ich mag es sehr viel.

02:29:40 Wonderful artwork. Thank you so much for submitting. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thank you, thank you. All right. Thank you so much. No, thank you for submitting this piece. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Minarine, would you like to state our next entry? Our next entry is Etros, also known as Archai Egin from Zarela. These are triple triad cards of Warriors of Light.

02:30:09 Das ist super cool. Sie sind sehr cool. Ja. Ich finde, dass sie nicht die A für die höchste, wie man kann. Sie sind sehr humble. Ich sage, dass sie ein A an sieben. Ja. Ich finde, das ist super cool. Ich liebe das. Ich würde auch gerne fragen, ob die Zahlen haben.

02:30:35 mhm like behind their characters but i love the details in this i think it's really cool i i would love to see triple cryo cards of every warrior of light that's such a cool con it's such a cool we could make a contest out of it or a sweet stakes oh boy oh boy ideas writing that down writing that down yeah it'd be fun it'd be cool yeah it would be you know actually it would be fun to also roll a d10

02:31:03 Just to see which values he would get. Oh, yeah. That would be really cool. Thank you so much for submitting. I love these pieces. I love the glow work in each of them. Yeah, it's really awesome. I just like how they also went out of their way to straight up draw the Triple Triad card itself and the backdrop for it also. Perfect. Amazing.

02:31:33 Alright, so shall we go ahead and press onwards? Thank you so much for submitting these two amazing pieces. Alright. Next up we have Moshi Moshibe or Tsuki Hirono of Cerberus. Awesome.

02:31:56 Hethladeus. Hethladeus. Hethladeus. Our new old friend. Yeah. I love the detail in the hair and the cloth. It looks very weighted. And so I love that because I think the brushstrokes in this really mimic Hethladeus' character. So I think...

02:32:19 Das ist die vibe, die ich von dem, und die Farbe-Scheme auch. Ich liebe das, weil ich die Artistin war, dass sie das Gefühl haben, dass das Charakter in der Artworkung ist. Und all die Shades of Purple benutzt, das ist für ihn. Das ist für ihn. Das ist perfekt.

02:32:37 I love it. I love it so much. I really like it. Alright. Okuyomi, sorry, I feel like I skipped you. Did you want to go ahead and introduce our next entry? Sure. Alright. So, next up, we have Folky, or Folkylocalipide, I think, from Moogle. This is awesome. It's everyone's favorite.

02:33:05 I really like how she's holding Aetheris. I feel like that's Aetheris, right? Yes, and if it's not Aetheris, then it's a Materia that looks like Aetheris. Do you think she successfully melded that one? Do you think that was part of the stats from earlier? Yes, 100%. Yes, it's the will of the star.

02:33:27 Aber sie sieht so glücklich aus wie viele Fehler sie durchgingen. Oh nein, wir sind weg von der kreativen Narrative sie hatten. Wir sind so sorry.

02:33:40 Das war meine Fault. Es ist ein tolles Stück, und ich liebe bestimmte Details, die sehr gut sind. Sie sind sehr gut. Sie haben die Illumination. Es ist perfekt. Es ist großartig. Er ist auch so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so, was die Warrior of Light geht durch. Und nicht nur die Warrior of Light, sondern auch was du von deinem Perspektiven, was sie und Hydelein ging durch.

02:34:07 So I really love this piece because I think it captures that very well. Indeed it does, for sure. Yes, thank you so much for showing us this piece and allowing us to showcase it. Yeah, thank you. All right, Meiner, are you ready to introduce the next piece? Yes, so the next piece comes from Greeny T. This is actually a self-portrait of...

02:34:33 Ja, ich kann sehen das. Meine Augen sind so... Ich denke, das ist verrückt. Das ist meine Augen, ich fühle mich an, die Charakter und die Background. Und manchmal hast du einen, wo es ein Artist, die...

02:35:00 Ja, die Details on this are insane. And what I really like is the watercolor usage that's, like, throughout their outfit, too. Like, it's different gradients and all of that stuff. The thing that kind of, like, caught my eye the most is, like, the hat, right? Like, I know they were...

02:35:29 So good. Yeah.

02:35:44 Really, really awesome work. Green E.T., thank you so much for allowing us to showcase this. Alright. Okuyomi, what do we have next? Next up, we have Nice 147, or Zerlin, Makali, or Makalili. Montanberry. I love this. I love this because, to me, it feels like if you had the daytime, like...

02:36:10 Ja, das stimmt. Ja, das stimmt.

02:36:39 Ja! Und es ist super glowy und dann ist es all die paint mixed in zu der Attire als auch. Ich liebe es. Es ist so cool. All right. Und dann ist es okay für mich zu move on to the next one? Ja. All right. Let's see. Next up we have Cosmixian, or Cosmixian Veil of Sophia.

02:37:05 Ich fühle mich das ist eher an Eastern- oder Domen-Style, wie ein Picktomancer. Das ist eine wirklich cool Art von denken. Ja, es ist so schön, weil du drei Picktomancers hast, und sie sind alle sehr üblich in ihrer eigenen Weise. Das ist so cool zu sehen. Ja, es ist wirklich toll. Ich mag, wie die Koi-Fisch gradually grows größer. Und ich mag das.

02:37:32 Oh my gosh, I just love it, too. And I love the way that they get used, like, they chose to do very kind of simplistic, like, colors with it. Like, it's very the flat, because it gives me that same, it kind of, like, puts me in that kind of, like, art period piece, right? But then they also decided to kind of, like, gradient certain pieces of the art, like, especially with the skirt, to really put your eye around. And I think that's such a concept that this artist did. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

02:37:59 Ich liebe sie auch, wie sie für die Handwraps sind. Und dann sieht man die Armour-Pauldrens und alles. Oh, das ist fantastisch. Ich bin so glücklich, dass du das ausgestellt hast. Das ist so cool. So, so cool. Ich kann's warten für Pyktomancer. Ich kann's warten für Viper. Ich bin so excited.

02:38:21 All right. But Meenerine, would you like to go ahead and introduce our next piece? Yes. Our next piece is from Sephira Illustration, also known as Firos Aresin, from Adementois. And it's of Wook Lamott. Instead of her axe, we have a... A meat.

02:38:46 What to befeite? Meat. I'm not sure specifically which bird it's from, but we have meat. Not a tamale, but meat nonetheless. It's so cute. I love her expression. It's so great. The style, I think, is the thing. The style and the color. Yeah, I think the color really prominence alongside Waklamat's personality that we've seen so far. Yeah. You know, in the short time we got to see.

02:39:12 So I think that's so cool to see this through. And I just, the style's so cute. I love little chibi styles. I love seeing everyone else's little styles of stuff too. I also find it funny how there's three shimmers on the meat and there's also three shimmers on her face. Two in the eyes and one on her mouth. And I'm just like, it's a match because I'm pretty sure she about to eat all day. Yes. It's really cute. Really, really amazing details.

02:39:41 Okuyomi, würde ich gerne den nächsten Teil vorstellen? Ja, und nächst auf wir haben Geras Studio. Und das ist auch noch ein Bild. Oh mein Gott, ich liebe es, weil es in eine viel mehr Realistik-Style ist. Wir haben das Wattende-Watercolor. Ich denke, es ist ein Digital-Watercolor. Aber sie haben auch ein paar Aspekte in hier zu machen es ein bisschen mehr Traditionell. Und ich liebe es. Die Detail auf dieses Stück ist einfach. Look at all. Look at die Weapon.

02:40:10 Es ist perfekt. Und ich mag die Entscheidung, die Mienerine gemacht hat, um das Chibi zu zeigen, und dann auch diese Stylized-Other-Version. Wow. Die Raw-Studio-Creativität hat. Es ist wirklich cool.

02:40:25 Ja, ich liebe es so viel. Ich liebe es, dass sie eine Charakter-Penn-Up gemacht haben und die Charakter-Artwork haben. Aber es ist so schön, nach der Benchmark zu sehen, weil sie auch die Lineworken haben, die auch die Fur-Detail haben. Und ich denke, sie waren auf der Point, aber sie haben das vor dem Benchmark gemacht. Und so 100, ja. Das ist wirklich toll. Ja, danke. Aber ich denke, wir haben unsere Cosplayers, die wir tatsächlich haben.

02:40:54 from PAX East. A couple cosplayers were really awesome and allowed us to take their photos. I believe these were taken from a PAX East Final Fantasy XIV gathering. So first we have Celtic Dragon cosplay dressed up as Alize. So really cool details. The detail on their sword and their armaments in general were just really awesome.

02:41:20 Und ja, sie waren wirklich, wirklich... Ja, es war super. Oh mein Gott, look at the deep. Oh ja. Ja, cool. Ich wirklich lief es viel. Und dann... Ja. Sorry. No, no, no. Oh, ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's. Ich war's.

02:41:49 Ja, so shoutouts to Celtic Dragon Cosplay. And then we have one other cosplayer, and that is Snarky Fox, dressed up as the End Singer. And this was awesome. It was fantastic. Like, they were lighting up that whole space, and I was just like, I need to get a picture of this cosplayer. It's fantastic. Oh my god.

02:42:15 Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool. Das ist so cool.

02:42:42 It's amazing. Sorry, sorry. Okay, yeah. I really just liked it. The light choice that they chose for it, like the amount of details, the way that they were shimmering, even when the lights were off and all that stuff, it was fantastic. Oh my gosh, that's...

02:43:04 All right, shall we go ahead? I believe that actually wraps everything up for Community Commendations. Yeah, thank you to everyone who submitted all of the work. It was so nice to see. We love seeing different submissions. But yes, if you did want to go ahead and share with us your art pieces.

02:43:25 Obviously not limited to the usual traditional art pieces and all that stuff, but things like typography, poetry, things like that. We're interested in seeing all forms of art expressed here on Community Accommodation. So if you want to go ahead and submit your pieces, there is three different ways, right? The official forums using the FFXIV underscore CC hashtag.

02:43:53 um, on x or twitter or x and then um submitting original pieces um making sure to use the original fanart flair that it's yours over on reddit so i hope i'm not missing anything

02:44:12

02:44:12 Ja, das wird alle drei. Cool. Und jetzt, ich weiß, dass Leute es in den streamen hat, aber jetzt ist es Zeit für... ...die Giveaway. So, soll ich gehen? Ja! So, ich weiß, ihr habt ihr all been waiting für das. Ich weiß, ihr habt alle patienten. So, ich werde...

02:44:35 Um, and announce that the giveaway has been open, but nobody has successfully guessed the keyword, even though I have put it up. Okay, and now I'm going to announce that it is open, and the keyword is exclamation point gold, because that was the box that I showed off in the Dawn Trail.

02:44:56 Ja. Und dann, SciSecret, sind Sie bereit? Oh, ja. Ja. Und dann, SciSecret, sind Sie bereit, was wir gewinnen? Und also, das ist für Nordamerika. Ich weiß, dass wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir, wir

02:45:26 Yes, so I wanted to go ahead and state that the giveaways are for one of ten plush cushions, and these, as Okuyomi said, are only going to be for North America, so please make sure you keep that in mind. These plushes are pretty much like of the minion in the game, but on one of the sides of it, it has minions on it, and it's really cute, and I think it's ready for you to utilize during your adventures in Dawn Trail, so.

02:45:53 Make sure you type in exclamation point gold if you want one of these ten. One of ten.

02:46:01 The plush cushion should have been on the favorite minion list. Yeah, right? You should have, that's what I'm saying. It is, it is. I was one of the early ones, too. Ooh. A lot of players really liked it. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, this is super cool. Yeah, but actually, I think we... Is there anything that we needed to talk about in terms of announcements, by the way? I think there is one that we should definitely talk about. We covered...

02:46:29 We covered a lot earlier in the PLL segment, but just to reiterate, there's actually technically two, but they're kind of tied. Oh, yes. If you missed it. Yeah, if you missed it, the benchmark for Dawn Trail has released, and I believe Sexos or Stai Seeker, we can post it again after like kind of the giveaway, the contest. Yeah, giveaway, because I'm afraid it will get lost, but you can download.

02:46:55 der official Dawntrail Benchmark und ihr könnt, was ihr Charakter aussieht. Oder wenn ihr interessiert in eine Female Croftgehrt, könnt ihr euch das anschauen. Das ist immer etwas Spaß. In addition, wir haben eine Benchmark Screenshot-Sweepstakes!

02:47:13 If you don't mind, SciSecret, can you actually click on the read details? Because I know that sometimes we've seen this a few times when a sweepstakes passes. And I know that we've seen a few comments on Reddit where players are asking how to get certain items. And I do want to highlight the prizes because we do see players ask about this a lot. They're like, oh my gosh, how can I get a Modern Aesthetics Strife Hair?

02:47:39 Well, you can enter one of the giveaways and receive it or be eligible to receive that. So I did want to highlight kind of the prizes. You could also receive a bluebird earring, a galley cap, the noble barding. It's down at the bottom images for that. If you scroll down, there's the image. I'm so sorry. Sorry.

02:48:00 Es ist okay, ich weiß, dass wir das aussehen, manchmal haben wir es in einem Schreinshot, auf der Subreddit oder auf unserer Official Forms, und dann werden wir fragen, oh, wie ich das habe? Und dann werden sie sagen, ich habe keine Idee, dass es ein Sweepstakes gibt. Und so, um, vielleicht ist es nicht so, wir halten diese auf X, so das ist ja, wenn du nicht das Plattform benutzt. Aber, um, be sure, wenn diese Preis options interessieren Sie.

02:48:27 ...to be sure and submit an entry. And you might be eligible for reprising. Yep, yep. Alright, and just in case, I think it's slowed down a little bit, but there is the link once again for the benchmark in case you do want to go ahead and participate in these sweepstakes. Um, yeah. I think that's pretty much it. I'm going to wait 30 more seconds before I start to pull 10 of our winners. But was that pretty much everything that we needed to talk about?

02:48:55 Es war nur die zwei, ja? Ja, es war. Wir haben ein paar heute. Für diejenigen, die wir in den LL haben, haben wir über die Gell-El, um, die sich um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

02:49:24 Super cool. And we went over the upcoming schedule, which you won't see that on the Lodestone, but if you watch the archive of Claude, go over and see upcoming collaborations and events that are coming up and leading up to Dontrell. Yep, that calendar is like really vital information. So make sure you take a look at it whenever you can. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead now and close off the giveaway.

02:49:51 Once again, this is for North America only. If you are interested in the giveaways that happen over on the Europe side of things, please make sure to watch out for the Unending Journey streams. So once again, the Unending Journey. Really, really cool people that run those streams in Europe. I don't think they've made their announcement yet.

02:50:19 We know it's in the works. It's coming, so just keep an eye out. Yeah, for sure. All right, so I'm going to draw 10 of our winners. So I'm doing so now. Looks good so far. Please, if you happen to be one of our winners, be ready to claim your prize. And then also on top of that, make sure that you are a part of the North American region.

02:52:58 That seems like an appropriate amount of blossom petals to be showing up. Could one of those petals perhaps claim the prize? Thank you. Alright, and next up we have Star Child 25. Star Child 25. Once again, that is Star Child underscore 25. Star Child 25. Please come to the nearest chaos and accept your prize.

And lastly, CDFN or CDFNiko, I believe, is how I pronounce this. So congratulations. Congrats, congrats. Just waiting for you to go ahead and...

02:54:27 Make sure you claim your fries. SDF Nico.

02:54:34 All right, and that is all claimed and ready to go. So, just to give a little bit of a heads up before you head off of Twitch, please make sure to be on standby if you did win one of these fantastic cushion plushes or plush cushions. I'm gonna, or somebody from our team is going to reach out to you via Twitch, via your Whisper, so make sure those are open. But yeah, all of you are...

02:55:02 Pretty much good to go. So just be on standby waiting for that so we can go ahead and get your information as needed. The European stream is not yet announced, but please just keep an eye on Lodestone or on social media for when Europe does another one of their unending journey streams. And that'll be your best chance to go ahead and win giveaways from the European region. So once again, congratulations to all of our North American viewers at home. And thank you so much for watching. But before we go.

02:55:31 Okuyomi, Minarine, sind wir noch weitere Kommentare?

02:55:38 So many. So many comments. I know. I know. Yeah, I mean, thank you, both Minarine and Sliceker for doing this. And then I also want to make sure, because I know chat, you know, they heard our voices today, but Zexos did a lot of weekend overtime. Yes. Making sure that we had a lot of notes on our end, because this was done, you know, not too long ago.

02:56:06 Oh, was, like, less than 48 hours ago? Yeah. For this. So those turnarounds, especially on a weekend, are usually really rough. So super props to Zexo's Tony, because... Yes, thank you. Thank you. We could not have done this without... And then other than that, just thank you, everyone. We'll be reading your feedback. For the stream, we were reading a lot of feedback on the benchmark. So please keep sending it our way. Yes, please.

02:56:33 And then Maynareen, any final comments from you? Again, thank you everybody for coming and listening to us recap the live letter. Thank you to Okuyomi and SciSeeker for being my co-hosts. And Sexos Tony, thank you so much for the amazing notes. Could not have done it without you. So thank you. Thank you everybody. Alright, and I guess final words from me.

02:57:00 Thank you everybody for showing up. I know this is just essentially like a recap in English for the live letter that a lot of you may have already watched, but honestly, without Zexos' notes and everything like that, we wouldn't have as much of a colorful commentary as we did today. So we do really thank all of you for your patience today, and we hope you enjoyed our iteration of explaining all of the things to come. But yeah.

02:57:27 As always, and as Okuyomi said, please, please, please, please make sure to post up your feedback on the various things coming in Dawn Trail, as we would really, really appreciate them. Yeah, I think that is it from all of us here. So you all have a good one and have a great rest of your week, and we hope to see you again soon. Thank you so much for watching. Bye. Bye. Bye, everybody.
