FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE

00:00:00

00:00:12 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. Thank you so much for being here today. Before we go ahead and kick things off, we're just going to check and make sure everything is alright. But yeah, thank you so much for being here today. I know some people usually come in a little bit early, so if you are around, it would help us a lot if you could please help us just test out some audio real quick. If you are present in chat, that would be great. But yeah, I guess we'll wait a little bit just to see, but...

00:00:42 I was about to say Okiyomi and Danielle. Okiyomi and Minarine, how are you both doing? Hi! Doing good today. Cool, cool. Yeah, just making sure how do Minarine and Okiyomi sound? They sound okay? Sounds fine? Promoted? You see the sounds fine? Yeah. Yeah.

00:01:08 Okay, cool. Cool, cool. I think that's honestly the only thing we have to worry about today. Is the music volume okay? Hello! Yeah, let us know that too. Yeah.

00:01:23 I think just for testing purposes, um, let's do this. Minarine, what did you have for lunch? Um, I had some ramen, actually, today. Okay. Just threw in some, uh, dried toppings in there, too. When you said that earlier, I was jealous, because I only had, like, pretzels and, like... Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I had a mini snack. I'm gonna have a big dinner, probably. Makes sense. I'm gonna have, or I had an energy drink, so that's it.

00:01:52 All I got right now. Well, now you're like rearing to go. You're going to be like all hyped for the PLL recap. That's right. And then after this, I'm just going to eat a bunch. So it's going to be perfect. Gosh, like not even 30 seconds or like five minutes in, we're already foodie commencing it up in here. This is the time. Oh my gosh. All right. But everything sounds okay with everybody.

00:02:17 Ich finde es gut, aber wir können noch ein bisschen mehr machen. Und ich habe jemanden gesagt, Server Congestion. Wenn du nicht mindst, was du auf den Datacenter bist? Wir können nicht tun. Wir können nichts tun. Ich glaube, das ist etwas über Aether Congestion.

00:02:48 I think some people are stating characters and stuff. Adamantois? Oh, there's a specific one. An Adamantois? That's Aether or Primal? Hold on, I'm checking. That would be Aether.

00:03:04 Und dann zu confirm, Congestion, du sagst, Login? Oder ist es eine Congestion-Problem, in der Login-In? Oder ist es eine Welt-Hopping? Oder ist es ein Datacenter-Hopping? Was ist die Tee?

00:03:26 Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

00:03:39 Sometimes I think we see reports of players having better luck later at night, because I think there's times players always say they do. Yeah, it's super late at night, I think. Yeah, so maybe try that if you can adjust the schedule. I'm looking right now just to see what the status on Adamantois is. Okay, but I think we sound okay, and then...

00:04:05 The music sounds okay. We just want to make sure that at the very end is fine before we go ahead and get started.

00:04:14 We're not playing anything, by the way. Today is strictly just a letter from the producer, live information. So it's a lot, so we can't really play anything because it's probably going to take up more time than we're.

00:04:42 Ja, das ist eigentlich so. Strap in, grab some water, grab snacks. A lot of snacks, maybe. Maybe a lot of water. Or drink. It's gonna be a longer one, for sure. A lot. We're getting free rewards. We're actually having a giveaway, yeah. Let me actually pull that up real quick. Yeah. And then we can't do anything like in an immediacy with the congestion, but Meinarine always takes some awesome notes and reports it back, so I know we can put that.

00:05:10 We can put that down as a thing Chat brought up, so thank you for flagging that. Yes, perfect.

00:05:18 Okay, so for our giveaway today, we are giving away the following. One of ten Giga Tender Figures, because right in time for the summer... Oh, I can't wait for the next one, too. I already planned it out. It's gonna be awesome. So, yeah. So, right there. Giga Tender Figure. We're gonna be giving away, like, ten of them. Remember, this is only for North America only, so please keep that in mind.

00:05:47 Aber wenn ich nicht verstanden bin, Europa hat das...

00:05:52 um streams and all that stuff right so one of them one of them occurred so french um was earlier today earlier in like our morning so unfortunately if you are uh in france uh you might have missed that giveaway but i believe tomorrow in the morning is for german and then if you are uk which i think they have a few other countries involved but i don't want to speak for them um that is going to be friday so be sure to tune in

00:06:19 Yep, so if you are in those specific regions and stuff like that, that is specifically for that region. And ours is only specifically for North America. I feel like I said specifically like 10 times when I didn't even know. I love that word, so it's okay, because I would do the same thing. Same here. I'm happy you two understand. Yeah, I think that's pretty much everything that we needed to talk about and say.

00:06:48 Ich wollte ein bisschen mehr mit euch reden, weil wir viel Zeit haben, und ich glaube, es wäre toll, was alles ist zu verstehen. Ich habe gesagt, fünfmal gesagt, also, wenn. Ich bin nur ein paar Mal, aber es macht Sinn. Ja, es wird ein Spaß heute sein. Ich habe schon einige Spieler gesprochen in den Chat, aber wir können es pre-hype. Werah, Rolfgar, Hatz?

00:07:17 Ja, das ist richtig. Ich hoffe, dass es eine spezielle ... Wir sollten heute haben! Oh mein Gott! Ich bin mir auch, weil ich die Viera in diesem Trio habe. Oh mein Gott, ich habe failed. Ich glaube, ich habe eine spezielle 14-Hat. Vielleicht ist es vielleicht ein Hecht. Ich habe eine Kathe-Rider-Hat. Das ist was ich hoffe, aber wir sehen, wir sehen. Ich kann mir sehen, ob ich meine Buckethe hat habe. Oh!

00:07:44 Oh, y'all will have to send me one. The Dawn Trail Bucket Hat? Mhm, the Dawn Trail Bucket Hat. Oh, gosh, I got you. That's gonna be fun.

Diskussion über kommende Inhalte und Spieler-Feedback

00:07:54

00:07:54 New Deep Dungeon sounds cool. Yeah. Will there be new mounts? Isn't there, like... Yeah, there's gonna be a new trial coming up. So, I would say so. Yeah. New trial, and then, I mean, there's always, like... I think we always typically get mounts. If it's not from, like, game, there's usually one that comes through MTX that might not be associated with 7.3, but they come periodically. Mm-mm. Yeah.

00:08:23 Ja, das ist richtig. Ja, und ich sehe einige Spieler zu sagen, Deep Dungeon, auch. Super excited für das. Ja, wir werden über viele Sachen gehen. Und, um... Usually, in diesen Zeiten, wir sind wirklich sehr evident, wir schauen für viele Dinge Sie alle sagen in Chat. So, es ist einfach, wenn es Dinge Sie haben, dass Sie und Ihre Freunde sprechen. Bring es auf.

00:08:51 Especially if we're on the topic of it, because like Kokuyomi and Minarine mentioned earlier, Minarine always takes notes so that we can have a report set up. So there is a secret, something else that we usually do during these streams, and that's usually collect what you all have to say about certain things. So please always feel free to let us know during these streams, because it helps a lot.

00:09:23 Oh, MSQ Dungeon. Ja, das war cool. Wir sehen uns später. Wir haben noch ein Bild. Ja. Always looking to get new mounts. Says, er hat MSQ gespielt. Oh, wow. Parrot drop rate? Ja, too.

00:09:44 Das ist definitiv etwas, ich weiß, dass sie bestimmte Drop-Raten haben, aber ich weiß, dass das ein Teil der Spieler noch zu wissen ist, zumindest auf unserer Seite. Das ist etwas, was wir sehen haben. Wir haben definitiv reported. So, hoffentlich, in der Zukunft, wir können etwas zurückkommen. Bitte, wir wissen, die Carrot-Drop-Raten!

00:10:06 Is it Forgotten Carrot? Ich weiß nicht, was die Name ist. Ich weiß nicht, wie die Munch-Carrot ist. Ich weiß nicht, wie ein Noble-Carrot ist. Ich weiß nicht, dass es Noble-Carrot ist. Ich weiß nicht, dass es Noble-Carrot ist. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht, dass es die Name ist. Fortune-Carrot. Fortune, okay, ja, nicht Forgotten. Du war super-wrong. Ich wusste es an F, weil es, wie... Ja, ich wusste!

00:10:30 I like yours better, Forbidden. Forbidden? That seems way more mysterious, especially in the Occult Crescent. Would have made sense. Right? Okay.

00:10:45 Ja, ich denke, wir wissen nicht, wie die Drop Rates, aber ich glaube, ich war auf ein paar Fan-Sites und da waren die Spieler, die Testungen für Drop Rates testet haben, so ich glaube, die Sample-Size haben, ich weiß nicht, aber ich glaube, sie haben es 2, 1% oder so, und ich dachte, oh man, ich habe nicht gesehen, so ich dachte, ich denke, ich denke, das ist einfach nur low. Für sicher. Sandorya? Oh, Walk of Echoes? Ja, ich meine, wir und...

00:11:14 Okuyomi und andere Mitglieder der Community, wir sind wirklich stolz über das. Aber da ist ein Ort, wo ich denke, ich weiß, ob das ist das oder das. Oh, wir waren über das. Wir werden finden. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen. Wir werden sehen.

00:11:44 Still waiting for Absolute Virtue to make an appearance. Yeah, let him out about this. He's in there. Yeah, go see him over there. Oh, I'm gonna pin this. You can pull the minion. Is the minion our lockboxes? I can't remember. I have the minion. It was a drop-in, B.A. Also, just to reiterate, because I feel like we should always take the opportunity to do this.

00:12:09 Our giveaways are only strictly for the North American region, so please make sure to see that. I was trying so hard not to say the words specifically, but we are specifically for North America. Yeah, but if you're not in North America or if you don't meet the eligibility, you can always still hang out. Sorry that the giveaway won't work for everyone.

00:12:33 Aber wie ich bereits erwähnt habe, die EU-Kreue wird... Die French-Stream war heute, ich glaube, Deutschland wird morgen und die EU-Kreue wird morgen. Wenn Sie ein Europäer Spieler sind, vielen Dank. Und ich hoffe, Sie können den Giv-Away catchen.

00:12:56 To circle back to Absolute Virtue, it is Valdacian Arsenal, and I believe a Material Container 4.0. Ooh. Ooh. I think the Material Container was Lockbox, too. I don't know. I don't remember. One of them. I saw someone talking about the bagpipes, too. That's the first thing I say, too. Here above Sandaria, there better be bagpipes. I'm, like, waiting to see what else.

00:13:25 Das war's für heute.

00:13:33 Als ich in Nordamerika leben kann, dann ist es gut. Wir haben verschiedene Situationen, wo es einfach so ist, dass jemand aus Europa ist. Oh, aber wo sind sie jetzt? Und dann, als wir wissen, dass du in Amerika bist, dann bist du gut. Ja, es ist eher... vielleicht ein besserer Weg zu beschreiben ist, dass du in Nordamerika bist. Ja. Das ist die Eligibility.

00:14:02 Hoping for Bastok being the last raid. I wouldn't like that, but I would. You guys got, like... You know, Shadowlord technically is... Ralgrim from Bastok, so... Oh, so maybe the first one? You know, so... Take what you can get.

00:14:26 I'm just kidding, but we'll see. Or imagine both. True, true, true.

00:14:36 Stalk up on coins. You know, that is actually a very good idea. Stalk up on coins. I think it's Ordell's coins, right? That's what they were? Ordell-y's coins. That was the old Dynamis ones. We haven't really seen... We kind of saw Dynamis, actually. We saw it right at the beginning of Juno. Like a little bit. I think it's like a fractured space more than anything. We saw the statues. Yeah. Just trying to think if we would get more Dynamis. Like, I guess...

00:15:06 Maybe the Outlands, like Dreamland Dynamis, we could still see? That'd be kind of cool. Yeah. That's a very good point. I'm definitely going to start running that more. Good on you for bringing that up, because that's definitely something to keep in mind.

00:15:34 Du hast einen. Du musst wieder zurückkehren. Es ist Spaß, auch wenn du ein Fan von 11 bist. Das ist eine gute Frage. Was ist eine gute Frage? Weil wir haben... Oh... Ich weiß nicht. Das ist eine gute Frage. Weil die letzte Geer war die Archangel's. So was Geer wird es sein?

00:16:02 I'm honestly super biased and I really want Iron Musketeer gear. There, there's Bastog representation. Iron Musketeer gear is pretty sick. That is true, that would be pretty cool.

00:16:23 Oh, the Flying Gardens in Juno. Oh, so like, uh, Ruud Gardens? Right? Like, that's what they meant? Uh, I think they meant, uh, what do you call it? The, uh, Sky. I think they meant Sky. Oh, okay, so Ru'an, I, gosh, I call it Sky, but Ru'an Talilu? Something like that. Yeah.

00:16:46 Oh, Matt als der letzte Boss, das wäre cool. Ich würde gerne das für das letzte Mal. Ja, ich würde, too. Ja, aber als es sich in Vanadeel ist, es sind eigentlich Moogles, die die Erwachsenen machen, was er kann für dich machen. Ja, Magician? Magian Moogles? Ja, Magian Moogles. Man kann die Stars auf deinem Kopf machen, das ist verrückt. Ja.

Vorschau auf den Live Letter Recap und Q&A

00:17:17

00:17:17 This is gonna be a fun PLL, we get a lot of juicy info and some really cool quality of life things we get to see towards the end. And a Q&A! We have a Q&A too, we get to go over...

00:17:29 One of the feedback points that we did see a lot of was the questions were in Japanese, but the answers unfortunately were not. They were not translated. Sam worked very hard. Volta9. Yeah, Volta9 worked very hard to make sure we have the answers translated, so we will be going over those today. Nice, very nice.

00:17:57 Wait, but if Shantoto 2 is a Trust, then why would they... Why would Shantoto hurt us? That'd be terrible. No, no. But that would be pretty cool. I feel like that would be like a mid-boss, if anything. Well, there's the Shantoto's Ascended fights with the multiple Shantotos. Oh, yeah, but I think they're specifically talking about the Trust version, where she kind of has a bunch of Elemental... The Elemental 2 spells? Yeah.

00:18:26 She looks insane and like a good insane sorry not to drag her name through the mud

00:18:36 I'm kind of banking. I mean, so this is Okuyomi Pipedream, right? Okay, so we have no idea, but this would be Okuyomi Pipedream. We know, based on the Dawntrail PowerPoint slides that we had back in the 2023 Fanfest, that Beastmaster will be a limited job. Can we pray that Beastmaster somehow makes an appearance in the final Echo of Vanadiel? That'd be pretty cool, right?

00:19:05 I keep thinking that, um, what do you call it, one of our characters, I don't know how far everybody is in Dawn Trail just yet, so I keep thinking that since someone stopped being a certain occupation, he might now turn into a Beastmaster, knowing what he knows. That's what I have in mind, but I don't know. I'm not too sure. This is me speculating as a player, not as, yeah.

00:19:34 I also agree with Chat. I forgot that we did kind of have mentions of Beastmaster in Boshaw. We did have that. It was in the books if you read it. So that'd be kind of cool to see some linkage to that too. And I also see someone asking about our next duty commence, like when the in-game one. It's not... I don't think we have that one finalized, but I think the next one is not going to be in-game again, correct? We're going to have another review. Yeah. Something. Can't say what.

00:20:02 I feel like you can guess it. Yeah, I don't think, the next one, we'll just say the next one probably won't be gameplay, so I think you have a little bit if you're going out of town. If it's not Lion, oh, hope that Lion makes a return. Yeah, that'd be cool.

00:20:33 Oh, yeah. Local IRL Gathering? Sarah and Aya, I'll let you guys take this one if you want to talk about it a little bit. Oh, yeah. Sarah, do you want to give some pointers to chat about what's coming up? Sure, of course. So, following our appearance, our activation at Anime Expo, we are hosting a Downtown LA Gathering as well. It's going to be the first one in a while, I believe, right? Aya, Danielle? We were actually supposed to have a PAX one.

00:21:02 like before the pandemic happened me and danielle and um

00:21:08 Redrina, I believe, is her name. Redrina Neha. Yeah, we were supposed to have a PAX East fan gathering, but then since the pandemic happened, it unfortunately fell through, so it's really awesome that since we got Sarah on the team, which is actually kind of a funny story because that's how Okiyomi and I first met Sarah Minarine, was through one of her...

00:21:36 und es war wirklich cool, so. Ein bisschen local gathering. Ja. Me und Sci-Secret kind of crashed in und einfach nicht sagen. Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass ihr alle schaut, und ich habe gesagt, oh, hey, wassup? Hi. Und dann Okuyomi got me ein spicy-chicken-sandwich. Es war fantastisch. Ja. Tutti-Comence begann dann. Ich habe eine Stunde für das, weil das war, wenn die whole craze war. Ja, das war great. Es war fantastisch.

00:22:05 So we'll think about it sometimes. Maybe that's what I'll get after this. Sounds great. I did see someone pop in and they were just asking if this is going to be the live letter recap. Yes, it is. I'm sorry. We were doing our test and we were just chatting with a little early pop-in. So that will be in about seven minutes. Actually, we might take a small break in about like...

00:22:26 Two and a half minutes? And then we'll give you all like five minutes or so to kind of like grab something to eat, grab something to drink. But I think we should do this more often because most of the time it's just us kind of sitting here for like 30 minutes and I think this is a better use of our time, so. Yeah, we can chat it up. I like this a lot. Nice.

00:22:52 Which Comic-Con? Ich habe sie gesagt, dass sie 14 zu sehen. Es gibt so viele. Ich weiß, Square-Enix geht zu Comic-Con, aber meistens 14 nicht. Ja, wir sind nicht. Aber die resten von Square-Enix usually shows up. New York Comic-Con, Comic-Con in general. Wir haben hier ein paar Besen. Das ist eigentlich unser erstes in lange Zeit, dass wir an Anime Expo sind.

00:23:21 Ich glaube, es war die letzte Zeit wir waren, Final Fantasy XI war die Prominent Titel. Ja, 14 Presence, ich glaube, das ist die erste one, offiziell. Ja, ein Jahr und ein Jahr, seit wir hatten Online Titel Presence. Aber sie waren da in den letzten Jahren, oder die letzten zwei Jahren, wenn ich mich nicht so habe. Ich glaube so, ja. Ich glaube, Merch war da, und da war ein bisschen, ja, für die anderen Titel.

00:23:50 Mhm. So.

00:23:54 Ja, so if you're all going to Anime Expo, come say hi. Minarine and I will be there, and if you have anything to say to Okuyomi, we'll kindly send your regards over to her in form of a text message or voice message. I'll be around. Yeah, and if you're there and you want to take, there's going to be some really cool booth activations, so if you want to snap some pictures there and send them, I will see them online, more than likely.

00:24:30 Alright. I think for the most part we could probably go ahead and take a slight break right now if that's okay with you both as well.

00:24:39 That sounds good to me. I'll go re-get water. Alright, so thank you all so much for helping us to test out some of the audio and stuff and talking to us for a little bit. This is pretty nice. So we will see all of you in about five minutes. So yeah, take us time, go get something to eat, maybe something to drink, and we'll see you at 3pm Pacific. See you soon.

00:29:46 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. Thank you so much for being here with us today. Before we go ahead and kick things off, let us go ahead and introduce ourselves. If you didn't know it already, my name is Aya, also known as Die Seeker from the community team, and to the... Yeah, my left is...

00:30:07 It's me, I'm Mainerin, also known as Sarah. If you've gotten messages on Reddit or X about your art, that's me. I'm the person behind the Community Commendations presentations every episode. Not the fake one, to be clear, because we've seen some people ask if it's real. That's really me on Reddit, I promise. She'll have the SE tag, but yeah, fun time. And also we have...

00:30:37 Daniel or Okuyomi on the official forums. Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you today. We have a big... This is going to be a long one, I think. So it's going to be a lot of information. We're going to try our best to try to condense everything as best as we can. Thank you all so much for being here. We're pretty much going to jump right into it. Are you both ready to go by any chance? I think so. And I think I see a lot of chat based on our conversation earlier. A little sad we don't have hats on.

00:31:06 Honestly, das war nicht mit uns. Wir sollten uns bringen... Wir haben alle einen Händen auf einen Händen. True. Ja, ich denke, wir sind irgendwie ein Händen. Ja, wir gehen in den Händen. Ich gehe jetzt in den Händen. Ich gehe jetzt in den Händen. Ich gehe jetzt in den Händen.

Community Feedback zu Occult Crescent und Cosmic Exploration

00:31:29

00:31:29 Alright, so I believe the first part that we're going to go over is the community feedback for Occult Crescent and Cosmic Exploration. Yeah, this is a really cool segment. We've had Q&As before, but not necessarily like this, right? So this is really cool that we get to do this segment. And if any of you did tune in and watch the Letter from the Producer live, which would have been last...

00:31:58 Friday morning, if you're in PDT, EDT time. The questions were in English on the slides, but the answers were not. Those were only in Japanese. But we mentioned it early in our pre-show. Volta9, aka Sam, aka Volta9, worked really hard to make sure that we had translations for these. So we'll be sure to go over these with you. Yep, yep.

00:32:22 Actually, wir werden mit Occult Crescent starten. So, Danielle, würde Sie gerne starten uns mit? Ja, wir gehen wir mit dem ersten Slide für Occult Crescent. Wir können uns durch das. Eine der ersten Fragen wir gesehen haben war, ich wünsche mir die Fork Tower, mit einer Performed Alliance. Feedback gehört. Ich weiß, das war ein Problem, sogar in Baldessian Arsenal. People, at least als ich, wenn ich war, Gruppen würde...

00:32:50 Basically try and capitalize on an instance. So this is definitely something that is aware of. As of Friday, there were, I believe, around 400 clears. So that's really cool to see. For the Fork Tower, this is high-end content. But one trend that I believe we all saw on the feedback reports, but also just noticed in each region, was players basically, because of the coordination that's involved with needing to

00:33:19 Ich weiß, das ist nicht die Fork Tower, aber wir haben später noch Fragen zu dem System.

00:33:44 Die dev-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team-team.

00:34:12 Ja, und eine Sache, die ich erwähnt habe, war, wie jetzt, wie die QN funktioniert, ist, ich denke, es gibt nur 16 Leute, die eine Cypher haben, die Sie mit Ihren Cypher kaufen können. Aber es ist nicht, wenn man die Cypher benutzt, kann man das Cypher. Aber wenn mehr Leute als 48, die Cypher nutzen, dann ist es eher eine gewisse Lotter. Ich denke, sie haben...

00:34:35 dass sie in der Zukunft versuchen, dass sie einen Weg in die Zukunft zu finden, wenn sie in Fork Tower haben, dass sie eine Sanguine Cypher haben. Das wird so, dass sie jemanden einfach in die Plattform stehen, wenn sie auf der Plattform stehen können. Ich denke, das ist wirklich gut, dass sie sich in die Zukunft beobachten und versuchen, in der Zukunft zu verbessern. All right, ich denke, wir gehen und gehen zu der nächsten Frage. Mein Noreen, würde sie gerne nehmen?

00:35:01 Sure, so the next question or feedback was, I wish there was a normal and savage version of Fort Tower like there was for Derubim Regine. So for this, we wanted to note that they are working on the next area for Cult Crescent. While we can't guarantee for certain, we are considering implementing more than one difficulty from the start for the next installment. So we'll follow up on that.

00:35:32 Ja, es ist etwas, das ist definitiv, um, ich weiß, dass, so für einen Kontext, jeder Region usually machte Feedback Reports und für Nordamerika, ich glaube, das war eine der höheren Requested Dinge, die wir gesehen haben. Fürsure. Weil ich weiß, wenn wir alle, ich glaube, Minarine und Sci-Seeker, wenn wir alle, wir alle, als ein Punkt haben, auf die Feedback gemacht haben, und wir hatten es, aber es war immer sehr early.

00:35:59 Your feedback has been heard. We know it's something players wanted after seeing the iterations of Bojah and Eureka.

00:36:09 Fürsure. All right. So let's go ahead and move on to the next one, if that's okay. I can go ahead and go over this one. So this one states the following. When Magic Pod and Happy Bunny coffers contain only materia and fireworks, the rewards feel inadequate for the effort required. So I believe the most condensed version of this is that there are so many things from past field explorations that the amount of...

00:36:38 und alles, und alles, und die Rewards, die es möglich zu bekommen ist, ist ein Ton, sehr viel. So, wir haben gesehen, dass die Rate of Participation für die Ocult Crescent ist viel höher. Und viele RARE-Items, wie die von vorhanden Produkten, wir verstehen, dass sie manchmal auch eine Prestige haben.

00:37:06 Ich glaube, es war in unseren Daily Reports, dass wir die Leute in den letzten Tagen sagen, dass sie ein bisschen mehr beantwortet werden.

00:37:35 Magic Pops or Happy Bunnies that were from past content, and then I know the market tanked on it. I think you can go look back and see that. So it's something I was aware of and want to be very more cautious of it, like Aya stated. For sure. Alright, and then let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Okuyomi, do you want to take this one? Yeah!

00:37:55 Next up, the question was, enemies in Fates can be defeated too quickly unless you're paying close attention. A Fate may be completed before you've arrived. Yeah, this was definitely something I'm sure any player who has stepped in to, even if you had stepped in like back in Eureka, this was always something like.

00:38:16 Die Fates in Occult Crescent sind ein Dynamik. Sie sind auf ein paar Variable Faktoren. Sie accounten für die Population und die Immediate Area.

00:38:40 Wenn es sparsere Zeiten gibt, kann es schwierig sein, wenn man die Besten von beiden Worlds versucht. Es ist etwas, was die Dev-Team ist bewusst. Sie wollen weiterhin monitorieren, die Participation von Occult Crescent und sehen, wie es das aussieht, um die Veränderungen für diesen Content zu machen. Eine Sache, die Yoshida darüber gesprochen hat, ist,

00:39:01 Looking at maybe the content in more stages, where the difficulty might be higher right at the beginning of the content cycle, where you can expect a lot of players to be engaging with it, where maybe it gets easier over time. That's obviously a theoretical thing, but it's something the dev team has been tossing around as a potential option.

00:39:20 Definitely looking into ways to try and improve that, because it's just a difficult thing to try and balance both. Because, you know, if you make it too hard off the bat, then maybe in the future, if you're trying to catch up on content cycles, it becomes a difficult thing to farm if the difficulty is high. That's true. There was... Oh, sorry. Oh, go ahead. Oh, go ahead. Did you have...

00:39:39 Oh, okay. Sorry. Oh, no. I know that we saw player feedback saying like, well, could you just increase the number of fates to try and alleviate that problem? But that's a little bit more of a complex issue per se, just because that is server load as well. So that's something the dev team is looking at and has heard that feedback, but it's something that they have to consider, you know, not crashing a server and having a bad player experience.

00:40:06 Das ist sehr wahr. Ihr Feedback ist gut, Aya. Oh, nein, du bist gut. Und es ist auch so, die ganze System selbst ist, sie denken, dass sie improvements zu wie Fates arbeiten, in generell, glaube ich, so. Das ist etwas, das ist etwas, das wird, um, weiter in subsequent Patches kommen. Ja, da war keine Zeit für...

00:40:32 Es gab keine Zeit, aber es war etwas, was die Dev Team zu sehen und die Feedback vorzunehmen. All right. Minarine, würde ich gerne die nächste Frage stellen? Ja, die nächste Frage hier ist, wir haben... Ich denke, das ist etwas, was wir...

00:40:54 So currently, the drop rate of Demiatma from Critical Encounters is about 20%, whereas Fates both inside and outside of Cult Crescent is about 5%. So I know there have been folks saying that they haven't had the best luck with the Demiatma or Soul Shards. But as of right now, we aren't planning on making any adjustments for a while.

00:41:22 Please do your best, everybody. For sure. All right. And then next up also, we have the following question. The window for auroral mirages is too short, making it impossible to get there in time, especially if you are in a critical encounter.

00:41:44 Huge apologies for this one, because we're going to be making changes scheduled for Patch 7.3, where while critical encounters are going on, there will not be any auroral mirages coinciding with that as well. So just making sure those two aren't very hard to get to one another. And we're trying also to make sure that

00:42:12 Die Rate der Auroral-Miragen werden auch nicht reduziert werden. Wir machen sicher, dass es die Wetter-Conditionen ist, dass es etwas, die Spieler zu suchen werden. Das wird auf eine Pause gestellt werden, bis ein Critical-Encounter ist. So, ich danke für das. Wir machen sicher, dass das ein viel mehr Spiel ist in der Zukunft.

00:42:41 Ja, ich nehme das.

Anpassungen und Verbesserungen für Cosmic Exploration

00:42:58

00:43:00 First up, for Cosmic Exploration, um, can you allow us to use mounts? This was a big request. I, I don't know if this was, it was very high. It was definitely one that was high in the list. I remember the GP one being a very high one too, but we'll get to that. Um, don't worry. But, um,

00:43:18 So can you use mounts? Ground mounts will be available on the moon in 7.3. So please look forward to that, especially if you're going to go back to the moon and try that out. Then in the upcoming star, the new star that we're going to go visit, in patch 7.31, you'll be able to use ground mounts on release. So that is something that the dev team saw a lot of feedback for and wanted to make sure that was taken into consideration. The other thing is, you know, when the dev team

00:43:47 Was die Team originally designed, they tried to aim for a gameplay experience that was still difficult with time travel involved, but would also not feel, you know, would be a fun experience, maybe not fun, maybe be an experience, enjoyable experience without mounts, but obviously that mark was missed, so it's something that they want to make sure is changed and definitely took player feedback into consideration.

00:44:12 Also, ground mounts will be available for the rest of Cosmic Exploration. Awesome. Okay. That's really good. Yeah. Thank you so much for all the feedback on that, because I know that was a big one in North America we saw. Sure. All right. Minarine, would you like to take the next one? Sure, yes. And the next one is, please increase the time limit for mission. So this was also something that we did here.

00:44:40 um since there were various starting points and routes for the gathering missions and a lot of players found that this was rather difficult or rather demanding because they would hit start um but then realized they're not at the starting point um so the adjustments to b rank missions and below and certain a rank missions um will be adjusted in patch 7.3 and onward as well um varying difficulties for the a rank missions will

00:45:08 um also have um visually distinct um time limit sorry my apologies are you good they'll be adjusted as well awesome yeah but the time was something we saw a lot of players feel like they were under stress for um i think there was like this yeah we saw it on reddit like some players were like i literally just i just started and i'm trying to figure out where i'm supposed to go and i can barely meet the notes it was like a like

00:45:36 Spamming the button, trying to figure it out, especially for Gatherers, where Crafters maybe had a little bit of an easier time with Cosmic Ice Profession. So I'm super happy that they looked at this feedback and kind of are looking to improve that gameplay aspect. Yeah, very, very cool, too. All right. And also another point about Missions. Please make the Mission Report window open automatically. So this was something that the dev team wanted.

00:46:04 oder nicht in der initial release. So sorry about that. But then there is going to be an additional function where the Mission Report window will automatically open when your remaining task is to turn in the Mission. And it will also apply to when the Mission is unsuccessful. So there's just going to be better ways to track progress within all these Missions and all that stuff. So please make sure to look out for that.

00:46:31 Ja, das ist eine super gute Qualität. Also, Okuyomi, willst du gehen? Ja!

00:46:41 Ich weiß nicht, ob es die größte Sache war, aber es war definitiv die größte Sache, Day 1. Ich weiß, dass es sehr, sehr hoch war. Bitte machen Sie, dass Ihr GP fully gestorben ist, nachdem ihr Gatherer Missions gespielt, besonders Sie, Fischers. Ich weiß, dass das viele von euch kamen. Aber das war ein höherer Punkt der Feedback, und das war nicht in der ersten Release.

00:47:05 So in Patch 7.3, GP will be restored. And not only that, the recast of consumable items will be reset. That's a huge one, because we understand that players, when they were engaging in this content, would typically save their GP potion for during the mission to try and get a higher rank. But then when they wanted to reset, their potion was on cooldown. So they couldn't reset their GP, and the only thing they were really left to do was stand around and wait for it to...

00:47:34 Das ist nicht ein Engaging-Gameplay-Loop. Die Dev-Team wirklich hat das in die Zusammenarbeit gemacht und hat sich sicher, dass das Adjustment kommt in 7.3 ist. So, apologies, dass es nicht mehr kommt, aber es ist etwas, was die Dev-Team wollte. All right, danke. Und dann, Next up, Meiterein, würde du gerne über das? Yes, so next up, we do have...

00:47:59 Please make it easier to understand when the sequential missions are available. As of right now, they are very easy to overlook, so the dev team is planning to place a notification in the middle of the screen to make sure all players, including myself, would notice it right away. I know I'm guilty of that. Right? Right in my face. Please smack it right there. Right there, exactly. Yeah, thank you so much. So please look forward to that. And again, we're sorry that we didn't...

00:48:27 Also haben wir es deutlich mehr Obvious. Alright, und dann nächsten Mal haben wir...

00:48:35 Please make projects easier to successfully complete. So based on other data, there were adjustments made to these projects in order to determine the amount of contributions necessary to succeed in them. But we're going to continue to keep monitoring all of this and also participation in it so that for the next star, we're hoping to also implement.

00:49:03 Ja, so the next question we had was...

00:49:30 Please keep the relative positioning of shop and NPCs constant as the base develops. This one was an oversight, so apologies for that, especially as the walls and buildings were getting built up in the area.

00:49:47 Die NPCs waren umgekehrt. Ich glaube, wir sahen, die Spieler zu sagen, dass sie in der Morgen aufgekehrt waren und dann haben sie zu arbeiten und dann kamen und dann kamen und die expansions, und dann haben sie gesagt, wo sind die NPCs? Ich weiß nicht. Und sie waren da, und sie waren da, und sie waren einfach nur gewechselt.

00:50:02 hidden obscured by walls so um the dev team is keeping this in mind for future content especially with the future maps that are the future stars that we're going to be going to and they're making adjustments currently on the upcoming star to try and make this a little bit more streamlined so thank you for your feedback

00:50:21 That's awesome. Alright, and then next up Metering, would you like to go over this one? Of course. Alrighty, so the next piece of feedback that we did receive says, please have holograms installed from the beginning. So in the upcoming star coming in patch 7.31, the holograms will be available from the start. The holograms ended up being installed later in progression than what we expected.

00:50:51 And we ended up seeing a lot of feedback about this, so we'll be making those changes. Yay! Yay! Awesome, perfect. Okay, now we're gonna move on to the next one. Please add more incentives to continue playing once we've finished Cosmic Tool Enhancement and gotten the other current rewards. So...

00:51:15 Thank you so much for this point of feedback as well. And the dev team actually reviewed this and agree looking at the data that there needs to be more motivation to keep playing even after you obtain your cosmic tools and desired rewards. So we're going to be looking through all that stuff and make sure to look out for any of the final decisions that were made for the new rewards to be added in patch 7.31.

00:51:43 So there's going to be a lot of different chances also to obtain rewards, so that is also something to look forward to. Alright, and then we can go ahead and move on to the next one. Okuyomi, would you like to go ahead and take care of this one? Sure. Next up, we have the question, please implement a retainer bell. So this will be something that is getting...

00:52:10 in patch 7.31. One of the points that the dev team did want to make sure to state was unfortunately there won't be a cool sci-fi looking look for it, but they do understand that

00:52:26 Die Spieler, wenn sie in diesen Content engagieren, waren, wenn sie etwas in den Retainers wollten, oder sie senden es aus, besonders als sie vielleicht spielen für mehrere Stunden, um die Retainers zu senden, war es etwas, was sie zu leave, weg, und zurückkommen. Das ist ein bisschen langer Prozess. Wenn sie es auf der Starten spielen können, werden wir zu Fragen stellen.

00:52:47 Aber es ist etwas die Dev-Team werden von 7.31 verwendet werden. Es wird nur ein regularer Retainer-Bell-Skin sein. So, apologies für das. Es wird nicht so cool und sci-fi sein, aber es kommt!

Teleport zur Cosmic Exploration Base und Feedback-Quellen

00:53:00

00:53:00 All right, thank you. And then I believe this might be the last point. Minarine, would you like to bring it home? Yes, I'll bring it home already. So related to the previous feedback that Danielle, that Okuyomi mentioned, please make it easier to get to the Cosmic Exploration Base. And because of the lack of the Summoning Bell, players were constantly traveling in and out of the Cosmic Exploration Area.

00:53:29 So because of this, we did see a lot of feedback requesting a direct teleport from Bestoway Boroughs to the Cosmic Exploration Area. So starting in Patch 7.3, you'll be able to teleport.

00:53:45 ...to Bestoway Barrow's Aetherite, rather than interacting with it, and move to the latest star being explored. So it'll cut down the time needed to walk to the Driving Way Lopred NPC each time you arrive. And so the dev team is also considering other quality of life improvements for reaching the Aetherite as well, such as potentially adding a ticket to the Credit Shop, which will allow you to teleport to the Driving Way.

00:54:13 So, ich freue mich auf das. All right, und ich glaube, das war es für die Q&A portion. Aber ich glaube, wir wollen, dass wir alle sehen, dass, wenn ihr alle sehen wollt, bitte sagen wir, dass ihr mehr Q&A portions möchtet. Und ich glaube, die Dev-Team und Yoshida-San werden sichergestellt werden, wenn sie brauchen. So, ja, vielen Dank für alle...

00:54:41 Fragen, Kommentare und Feedback für die zwei Dinge. Wir wollen alle ein guter Zeit machen, das bedeutet uns sehr. Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank.

00:54:59 To piggyback off of you, Psyseeker, because we actually had a few questions on social come up last stream, but I think especially with the feedback segment, some players asking like, you know, where's the best place to see if I have...

00:55:12 We're always checking the official forms. You can go and post there. We have daily reports that we do and we check every day. Well, every workday. But we also usually on Mondays have a pretty big weekend report. But then also you can post on the main subreddit. That is the Final Fantasy XIV subreddit. But we also look at some of the smaller subreddits. So there is ffxiv discussion. And also like...

00:55:40 Fan Player Discords that are centric around 14. We check those from time to time. So you can always post here too. Meinerine usually reviews the logs and takes notes on hand. But it's something that you can also share on social. I think the one thing to note is if you ever are posting something, anything but like a permanent link, Discord's easier now. They allow that. And obviously we're interacting right now and we can see what you're saying.

00:56:05 Okay, so I believe now that we're done with the Q&A portion, we're actually going to go into the live letter specifics that are for the upcoming patch. So here we go. Are you both ready? Ready, ready, ready. Awesome. Okay, so...

Patch 7.3 "The Promise of Tomorrow" und neue Inhalte

00:56:33

00:56:33 The very next thing coming up is Patch 7.3, also known as The Promise of Tomorrow. And when is that coming out? It is coming out on early August 2025. So please make sure to look forward to it. And yeah, we're going to go into even more specifics about this. So we're going to go ahead and skip to that now.

00:57:02 So, as you see here, there are going to be new main scenario quests. Really cool. I'm wondering already what's happening here, because it seems like Trial has her paintbrush out, so there has to be some form of combat, right? Yeah. Yeah. Sveen! Yeah, it's so good. I love her hoodie crop jacket thing. It's amazing. Yeah. I know. Well, I know.

00:57:28 Ich bin persönlich persönlich included in this, und ich glaube, die Spieler auch wirklich liebt die design. Wir sahen das, wenn wir 7.2 gesehen haben, so... Ich glaube, die Outfit ist etwas, was die drei von uns haben. Ich habe gedacht, dass ich es, ich kann sehen, dass alle uns etwas wie das. Das ist wirklich schön. Wir müssen uns das über die Merchandise gehen. Können Sie bitte einen von diesen Hütten? Ja. All right.

00:57:56 But let's go ahead and move on to the next one. So, some glitching is occurring here, so kind of want to see what's up with that, too. And then there's also this, where it seems like the glitch is also affecting residents of Solution 9 as well. Have we seen a triple resonator? I'm trying to remember if it happened in 7.2. I don't think it did, right? It's always been red or... It's always been red or yellow.

00:58:25 Ah, wass the purple? Is it Overdrive? Wass the purple? Who knows, but I honestly feel like it might have something to do with this character. Maybe, because there's purple around it too, right? So I'm like... It's Electrope! It's the power of Electrope! Yeah, we'll see what's going on there. But yeah, so if you're looking forward to the main scenario quests...

00:58:53 Es ist ziemlich spannend, ich denke, aus diesen Bildern, die wir für die Preview haben. All right, ja. All right, was wir haben? Wir haben eine neue Alli-Society-Quest, die Yakui. So, das wird wirklich cool sein. Ich bin wirklich noch nicht über das Reise der Trolls von Final Fantasy XI, der so HD ist. Es ist verrückt. Ich weiß, ich weiß.

00:59:22 The troll mercenaries. But this is really cool to see. Can't wait for that a la society quest. And I think we have another picture too. This one's really interesting. This was the one that caught my eye.

00:59:34 Es gibt viel Technologie, so... Ich glaube, das ist von einem der Dungeons, der Sky Deep Cenote, glaube ich. Da war eine Variante von diesem Boss, in diesem Dungeon. Ich weiß nicht, ob es sich in die Mammolja sein könnte, auch für die Mammolja.

00:59:54 So, pretty interesting. Okay, so I think there's... I did a few side quests in Dawn Trail, like when I was going through the MSQ, and there was... Oh my gosh, I wish I remembered the name of it, but there was one that talked about how... It was part of the MSQ, it kind of touched on it, but there was another side quest dealing with the dreams that they're having, and how they're all surrounding it. I think it was also part of the Waku Miki Miki, but...

01:00:19 Das ist wirklich interessant. Ich hoffe, sie explore das mehr in der Allied Society Quest. Ich fühle mich die Yakkoi hat eine sehr interessante Lore-Bachgründung zu ihnen, und wie sie das mit ihrer civilizationen war. Wenn ihr in die Lore habt, ist es kommin! Da ist es. Du hast es gehört. All right. Wir haben noch mehr über die Allied Society Quest. Wer ist das?

01:00:47 Why does that guy have a soft serve on his staff? We don't know, but we'll find out. I really do like how cute they are, yeah. Yeah, it reminds me kind of the Yukinos, but like bigger and fluffier. Oh yeah, I believe this was also a boss in one of the dungeons in Dawn Trail? I think, maybe the first one, I think? In the first, no, sorry, second, maybe the second dungeon. The mountain one, right? Yeah, mountain one, yes.

01:01:16 Was ist das Mountain's Name? Es ist in Urapacha, aber ich weiß nicht den Namen. Ja, das ist ziemlich spannend. Und dann ist es auch dieses kleine Bereich, wo du wahrscheinlich bist, als ein Hub. So, bitte, bitte schauen Sie für das. Es wird wirklich schön. Es scheint, es ist ziemlich hoch auf den Mountain, auch, judging von den Hintergrund, also. So, ja, es ist wahrscheinlich ein tolles Spot, um zu chillen.

01:01:45 Das ist cool.

01:01:48 All right. And next up, ooh, where's Zexos? He'll be excited for this, I'm sure. Because it's the inconceivably further Hildebrand adventures. So please make sure. And give you an egg in this trying time. Yeah, there's honestly a lot. And I'm still surprised that this, like, what do you call it? Storyline is still going, but it's just a testament to how much people really love.

01:02:16 Kildemrand, right?

01:02:20 So, like, I know there's a lot of investment to go through Hildebrand, because you have to go through each of the stories, but, like, we're gonna sell it here. If you have not done the Hildebrand stories, please get on that, because they have some of the best animations in the game. I always question, like, why wasn't this in the MSQ? Like, the best analogy I can probably give is if the MSQ is known for, like, the crazy high-quality food rigging that goes on in animations, Hildebrand is known for the player character, specifically the Warrior of Light.

01:02:50 Ich denke, die letzte Spannung in Endwalker war, wir hatten ein Volleyballball, ein Soccer Kick. Es ist wild, die kinder emotes you einfach haben. Das Soccer Kick war meine favorite. Ich bin überzeugt.

01:03:12 I can only imagine, because this isn't in the MSQ, it's inside content, of all things. I am convinced that whoever the animator is, is like a giant Hildebrand fan, is like, no, we're putting the best animation here, like, in this quest, because there's no, it doesn't make any sense to me. Why put it in Hildebrand? Like, I love it, but... I honestly have some theories about that, too, pretty much within that same vein, where I'm just like, I keep wondering if the Hildebrand adventures are testing grounds for animation.

01:03:41 Ich fühle mich, es ist einfach so, dass nicht jeder wird das tun, also wir können wahrscheinlich versuchen, zu gehen crazy an das und nicht zu expect. Aber meistens werden sie es aus dem Park machen. Es ist so, dass es so viele Dinge, die in diesen Quests machen. Also, bitte. Ja. Vielleicht haben wir zu... Ich würde mich interessieren, aber vielleicht haben wir zu sehen... Okay, ein Compendium von Pussies.

01:04:05 Ja, vielleicht einen von einem der Lead-Animator oder so, und sehen sie. Ich bin sicher, dass vieles ist, dass es motion-captured ist. Aber vielleicht haben sie einen internen gesagt, dass sie einfach nicht so großartig sind. Und dann sie sagen, es ist okay, es ist okay, es ist okay, es ist okay.

Neuer Dungeon, Trial und Allied Quest Details

01:04:19

01:04:19 Oh no, this is just our speculation, but maybe we'll have to ask because I'm curious. Awesome. But alright, I think we're going to be moving on to some other stuff too. What would this be? It's the new dungeon upcoming. The Mesoterminal. So this is really going to be cool. I love the aesthetics for this place. Like just specifically right here because I just love purple and yellow working together in perfect harmony in a very...

01:04:47 Ja, es ist toll, ich liebe es. Und dann, aber ja, also involviert in es sind andere Dinge, die nicht so cybernetic looking sind. Also das ist auch wirklich, wirklich cool zu sehen, auch. Even wenn die Technologie ist, ist es in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art, in einer Art.

01:05:13 I would guess maybe something to do with Levin Sickness, or maybe looking back on that, which I hope, because I think that was a really cool plot point to explore, so I'm hoping we get more. For sure. Fingers crossed. And then we see here that there's more ruins. I keep thinking this is just Alexandria, just due to what we've known and what we've experienced already so far. Yeah. And you can already kind of see them introducing Electrope technology into...

01:05:42 was going on here, so pretty surprising. All right. And then there's this too, which is kind of like a bar that's outside. Really, really cool. I would have loved to hang out here and just drink and look at the stars that night. It'd be awesome. So we'll see what this place was technically highlighted for.

01:06:08 I'm hoping there's gonna be like a cipher or something that we could look at to see if there's like any information about these spots, but yeah. Right? I like it. Yeah. Oh, it's from FF9. Maybe. There you go. That's its significance. FF9. Awesome. Alright. And then next up, I feel like we were talking about this a little bit earlier during the pre-show. Um, the new trial. Normal and extreme. What's it gonna be?

01:06:36 Ich finde, ich finde, dass sie die Türke, Türke, Türke, Türke und dann die Sekret und all das, aber ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, die subtelte der Art, die sie machen, so... Ich weiß, es macht mich eine Frage, weil ich dieses als die Mesoterminal, aber die Mesoterminal ist die Dungeon, so... So, was ist es? Vielleicht ist es etwas, dass wir uns in den Mesoterminalen erreichen können, das wird prompt.

01:07:03 die Trial to occur, right? I feel like that's usually the case that they go for. Yeah. It has been if we keep course of patterns, yeah. Mm-hmm. And ooh, I feel our team is very excited for the next Slides coming up, so let's go into it. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it is the Echoes of Vanity All Part 2, Sandoria, the second block.

01:07:30 Ich liebe Okiyomi's Acapella. Es ist so gut. Aber ich liebe Okiyomi's Acapella, ehrlich gesagt. Es ist großartig. Sorry, ich hatte das in die Hintergrund, als Sie waren es. Es ist perfekt. Es ist so gut. Ich kann nicht warten. Die Château des Aurigiles, glaube ich. Das ist was in die Hintergrund. Ja. Und ich weiß, dass du und dich und dich waren, aber wir waren...

01:07:56 I'm wondering how much of this we're gonna be able to move around because like I don't know if we're actually going through the Chateau the church is it like Northern Sandy right yeah way North Sandy so I'm expecting other NPCs to also like show up like

01:08:24 Ich weiß nicht, dass die Hightier-Battlefields auch hier sind. Ich weiß nicht, ob das Empfassi kommt und sagt etwas Spaß oder etwas. Aber wir sehen. Ich weiß nicht. Hier ist die andere Sache. Wir hatten eine kleine Gebäude für Juno. Das stimmt. Ist das Juno? Ich weiß nicht. Es wird interessant sein. Ich fühle mich, wenn man nach Norden Sandy geht...

01:08:50 To me, the big things I remember of Northern Sandy, one was because I was a white mage going to the church and doing the teleport quest. Two, but if I ever went to the, say it Aya, I can't say it. Chateau de Oregyle? Yes, it was going to Prince Treon's room, right? Like it was always going to Prince Treon's room. Or the...

01:09:10 This one I have trouble saying. Bostino Obliette is also located within the chateau, that dungeon area. Oh my gosh, that actually scares me. Well, there was bats and leeches and blobs. Oh my gosh, undead blobs. I think there was like a minotaur or something. Maybe I'm confusing that with another spot. And then who could forget Northern Sandy's fish quest? Bats?

01:09:34 Fischquette. Du musst du deinen Carp. Wenn ein Flying Carp nicht aus dem Sewer ist und einfach in hier fließt, dann werde ich mich beinig. Für sicher. All right, sorry, wir haben hier geblieben, aber wir werden jetzt weitergehen. Ja, das ist okay. Wir bleiben hier. Das ist okay. Wir bleiben hier zu lange. So, für das eine, das ist die, ich glaube, eine der Focal Punkte der Community-Team-Diskussion.

01:10:02 Was ist das? Was ist das? Was ist das? Was ist das? Da sind ein paar Pläts es könnte sein. See? Look, look, look. Some people in Chat think it's also safe. Okay, okay. I always thought, see. Yeah. There are some people that are also thinking Bucidine Glacier because of the towers and stuff. Also kind of cool. Yeah. What if that's Delkfoot's Tower? What if this is Qufib?

01:10:27 Okay, so there's so many, right? My first thing, when I first... So Aya thought C. We were arguing over this. It was the best thing ever. I Aya thought C. I know, Aya was like, it's gotta be C. And I was like, well, it has the... And I can see it, right? Because there's the four towers. I can kind of see it. But I thought it was Bucidine. Like, I thought it was Feyenne and Bucidine because the tree. The tree is very noticeable in Bucidine, like, if you go through Bucidine.

01:10:53 But then someone else pointed out, well, there's the Aurora happening, but that only happens in Quiff a mile. Yeah. So which one is it? Like, we don't know! Guess we'll just have to see, right? Like, that's what makes this screenshot so exciting. I can't wait. I'm so thrilled to actually see what it's going to be. It's going to be all three of them. I know. I just spliced them all together. Oh my god. Right? That would be the biggest surprise, I feel like. Right? Yeah. Oh, the next one. Sarah's sitting here just like, which one is it? I don't know.

01:11:24 Aber dieses nächste Screenshot... Oh mein Gott. Ich glaube, Eleven Fans vielleicht könnte das wissen. Ich könnte ein sehr guter Stab machen. Ich werde nicht sagen, ich werde es auf sie sagen. Ich denke, ich würde wissen, wer das ist von Eleven. Aber, ja. Und also Dissidia, wenn du das auch playst. Ja. Ich bin sorry. Ich fühle mich.

01:11:51 Just a little hint, sorry. I won't say anything further. I mean, chat already has a pretty, yeah, maybe a brother, yeah. Oh, brother, please. Oh, brother. Oh, brother. Okay, so we're gonna move on from this before we... Where's El Nacho? I love that they're saying a foodie commencement.

01:12:13 Oh, mein Gott. Ja, für das nächste Screenshot. Pris ist zurück, so es wird wirklich gut sein. Ich liebe das, wenn du nicht wissen willst, in Final Fantasy XI, für jede Expansion du gehst, ist immer eine neue Heroin, die du mitgebracht hast. Ich denke, wenn du über XIV denkst, ist das Wook-Lamotte-Equivalent. Ja, es ist wie die...

01:12:41 The heroine equivalent. Expansion. Honestly, low-key, and it's crazy, because I remember us talking about this. I think you pointed it out to me, and I was like, oh my gosh, XI is just the waifu simulator. I had no idea. Like, I didn't... Every single, like, there's a different waifu in every expansion, and they're always super cool, or super pretty, or like super cute. They have every single trope. So, like, if you're not sold on Final Fantasy XI yet, please let us sell you that Final Fantasy XI is...

01:13:09 der Waifu-Simulator von RPGs. Ja. Es wirklich ist. Ja, wenn du nicht in Endgame willst, einfach nur die Geschichte. Es ist so gut. Oh mein Gott. Du kannst wählen. Ich weiß, dass Final Fantasy XIV ist ein Huzbando mit Waifu. Aber XI ist wirklich Waifu-Simulator. Und es war wild, weil ich habe das Spiel für...

01:13:33 Was 16 years and then like I said we had fan art come through I remember this we had fan art come through and we were talking about it You're like, oh, it's just the it's just all the heroines and I was like, wait, this is like a very waifu thing and you're like, well, duh

01:13:52 Ja, ich glaube, es war für die 11th Anniversary. Ich glaube, es war für die 11th Anniversary. Ja, es war. Ich fühle mich die einzige, die von Iroha missing ist, war Iroha, ich denke. Ja, ich denke so, weil sie eigentlich nicht so aus. Ja, das ist wirklich cool. Ich kann's warten. Ich kann's warten. Ich kann's warten. Ich kann's warten. Ich habe meine Hoffnung, nicht als Sci-Seeker, Community Rep, aber als Aya, Lover of Eleven.

01:14:21 I'm really hoping that we get to see HD renditions of every single heroine from every expansion. Towards the end of it, it would just be so perfect. I would love to see Lion. I would love to see Lillicette. It would be amazing. Don't stop there. I see Chat also saying nausea appreciation, and I agree with that. True. That's like your favorite character, I feel like. I know! She has the Morningstar. It's like the best thing. It's her weapon. It's a club. It's amazing.

01:14:49 All right, so we're gonna go ahead and move on now. Pardon our Final Fantasy XI obsession, but... Sorry, Sarah. No, every day we talk about this, every day I listen to this, every day I get closer to starting XI. If you haven't convinced me today, it'll be like tomorrow or something. It's okay, next time we do Duty Commenced and we go over, it'll be Beastmaster, and then me and I will go off about XI Beastmaster.

Unreal Trial, Schatz Dungeon und Duty Support Erweiterung

01:15:18

01:15:18 Lots of memories, I would say. Okay, sorry, let's move on. Yeah, let's go. And so the next Unreal coming up is Wreath of Snakes. So that's going to be really cool. Seiryu is going to be the focus of this one. So if you've done this before in Stormblood, it is back again. We're going through, I believe it's the Four Lords, right? For this one? Yes. Yeah. Snake. I agree with chat.

01:15:47 Snake. Snake Danger. Snake.

01:16:12 Ich denke, ich denke, ich habe ein paar andere Faktoren. Die eine, die ich sehr, sehr, sehr erinnere mich, war Sephirot Unreal. Und das war, weil ich sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr erinnere mich.

01:16:35 I don't even know. I've done so many of those. So when I did it with a Static back then, we had players who had done it so many times. It was kind of second nature. But it was really interesting because when I did the Unreal, I did it with a lot of players who had never done it before. And we were in post-Shadowbringers, like Endwalker. Or when did that come out? I think it was in Shadowbringers. If it wasn't Shadowbringers, it was in the beginning of Endwalker.

01:17:03 Aber ich habe es mit Spielern, die nicht gemacht haben, und es war so interessant, zu sehen, wie sie versuchen, die Mechaniken zu lösen. Weil die Mechaniken, wenn jemand in Sephiroth gemacht hat, die Mechaniken sind sehr unterschiedlich, vom Typisch, ich würde sagen, Current. Especially, wenn es um Phase 1 geht.

01:17:19 Phase I was probably... I felt like Phase II was harder back in the day, but Phase I felt like more of just... People weren't used to it, because you have to go behind, kind of running. Oh my gosh. So I don't know what your experience is, but my experience with the Unreals has been, one, how many people have experience with the original, especially the older ones, and then also how you said different abilities, right? When I would do different jobs, or even jobs that didn't exist.

01:17:47 Das ist wirklich interessant. Ich denke, dass es so viele Variables gibt, und auch wie die Mechanics sind. Ich weiß nicht, ob Chat hat andere Geschichten mit uns, weil es super interessant ist. Das ist eigentlich was ich für mich, so danke, Okiyomi. Aber ja, erzähl uns your...

01:18:12 Ja.

01:18:42 Ich glaube, das ist eine gute Idee, dass es die Past-Extremes ist. So, wenn das hilft, dass du die Courage zu versuchen, einfach zu versuchen, das zu versuchen. So, ja. All right. Was die Skip-Sor? Zervan? Zervan, ja. Ich habe Zervan als auch, die Unreal für das.

01:19:11 Du hast es nicht wirklich, du hast es all die Zeit. Ja. Das war das, was ich mir einfacher war. Ich habe immer gesehen, dass ich das auch. Oh, interessant. Ja. Das ist etwas, ich glaube, wir hatten, vielleicht ein Jahr ago, aber ich möchte sagen, dass wir etwas wie das, auch. Und das war meine Erfahrung. Die Leute, die ich in, haben noch nie gemacht, aber wir waren alle Freunde. Also, es war einfach so, wir konnten es in.

01:19:38 Aber das ist ein guter Punkt, denn ich weiß nicht, dass ich in Unreal Partys bin, wenn es nicht jemanden war, wie es nicht jemanden war. Für mich. Ich fühle mich Byakko war ein sehr... Ich fühle mich jemanden gesagt hat, aber Byakko war ein sehr guter Punkt. Ja, ich würde agree. Ja. Please look forward to Wreath of Snakes Unreal. Share some feedback about it if you have the time. Und jetzt geht's und move on. Woohoo.

01:20:07 This is gonna be a lot of fun. New treasure dungeon. Vault of... Oni... Oh my gosh, how do you pronounce this? Oniron. I think Oniron. On... I feel like it's... Yeah, Oniron? Oniron? I think so. I'm trying to look at the Katakana too, so I'm like On... On... It's like saying like... Oniron? Something like that. But we'll see. One iron?

01:20:34 One Iron. One Iron. Well, it's that for us now. It's now called the One Iron. I like One Iron. I'm gonna go with that. One Iron. Our own Iron. Something like that. But yeah. There's gonna be... Maybe we can bring back the... Well, if it's in here, maybe. Yes, sorry. If there's voting, maybe we can bring back the chat votes. Oh, absolutely. I think it's gonna be the...

01:21:01 Die classic High and Low song you and I will sing and make me sing as well. High and Low. Yeah, because there's a cute song that comes with the High and Low stuff too. Yup. Think of this, look at this. Instead of Rainbow Door, it's going to be Neon Door. It's got to be, right? I hope so. This is so cute though, I love it. Party, Mandadora. I have one request, that if we do stream this content and we bring yours along, we have to get those shades.

01:21:29 Oh, gosh. We all have to wear those shades. We would just probably have to get them, like, custom-made and, like, oh, gosh. That'd be sick, though. I would love it. Yeah, it would. Sounds good to me. All right. So let's go ahead and move on from here.

01:21:46 So, we're going to go ahead and talk about all this. So, of course, what's coming up is the Duty Support, and it's going to be expanded over to Cutter's Cry. So, that is going to be something. So, I know a lot of people have queued into this, and there's like a specific part where you can actually skip it. And you can get lost.

01:22:10 Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass sie die Duty Support haben, weil ich weiß, dass die vorherigen Dungeons waren, wie die Hatalia war. Und sie sind Bluequests, aber die Leute einfach nicht immer, weil sie nicht MSQ-orientiert sind. Ich denke, das ist wirklich gut, dass wir die Duty Support haben.

PvP Updates und Cosmic Exploration Erweiterungen

01:22:35

01:22:35 Oh, I know Aya wants to take this. Let's go! I'm so sorry, you guys. I saw Brian, Ricardo in chat. Shoutouts to the PvP prince himself. I see you, buddy. PvP updates. So we're just going to go through all of this really quick. Series 9 is going to begin in patch 7.3.

01:23:01 Da werden viele PvP-Action-Adjustments werden und ich denke, dass das wirklich cool ist, weil ich wirklich gehört habe, dass vielleicht ein Showcase der PvP-Action-Adjustments sollte, wenn sie occur werden. Und ich denke, das ist ziemlich cool. Ja. Ich habe tatsächlich gesprochen mit Zexos über zu haben, um mehr frequenten PvP-Streams, selbst wenn es nur bei mir selbst ist. Und vielleicht, ich glaube, das ist...

01:23:29 Ja, ich denke, das wäre wirklich cool. Wir hatten ein PVP-Stream, das war wirklich cool. Wir hatten ein PVP-Stream, das war wirklich cool. Wir hatten Rivalwings, wir hatten Frontlines. Ja, und ich wirklich wollte, dass ich in... Ich weiß, das war etwas, was ich gemacht habe, aber ich konnte mit vielen Mitgliedern von der Community Cup sprechen.

01:23:57 Und sie haben uns alle verschiedene Feedback und alles, was wir verbessern können. Und es ist einfach, ich würde gerne auch gerne ein paar Shoutcasters aus der Community zeigen, weil sie sehr diverse sind. Und wie viel sie liebte PVP ist so obvious. Es wäre cool, aber es wäre toll. Aber sorry, ich sidetracked alles. Eine neue Crystal Light Konflikt-Arena wird auch.

01:24:25 And what does that name look like you ask?

01:24:29 Oh, es ist die Bayside Battleground. Das ist gut. Das ist gut. Let's go! Let's go! Bayside Battleground! Das ist wirklich cool. Ich kann es. Es ist so cool. Oh mein Gott. Wenn wir Custom Masses machen, das ist das, was ich will, dass ich immer wieder spielen werde. Ja, und ich denke, wir müssen alle haben Schwimware, wenn wir in hier gehen. Glam. Wir müssen das Glam sein. Ja, die Beachside Battleground. Battle Brawl. Let's go.

01:24:58 Es ist wirklich cool. Wir haben noch mehr Screenshots zu zeigen.

01:25:11 So for this particular map, there's nothing new from anything from the past other maps that we've shown off for Crystalline Conflict. But based on the feedback that we received, it's gonna be similar mostly to Palastra, which I know is the resounding default. Standard, yeah. It's like the...

01:25:36 Das ist das die Community als der Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default-Default

01:26:04 Look forward to the Base-Side Battleground, be ready with your feedback, and then if I see you in there, please don't hold anything back. Yes. Alright, ooh, this one's kinda cool too. New Crystalline Conflict tiers added. This is sick. So, you know how it goes from unranked to Crystal currently right now, right? Yeah, gotta get that Crystal tier. But then, what if that's not enough?

01:26:32 What if you want to soar even higher, you know? Sharp enough, bang. That's right. Because you can now go up to Omega and Ultima tiers. So please make sure. Check that out. Sounds really cool, honestly. And I love the way that each one is designed and everything like that. Like, Omega's is super cool, Ultima's is super cool. Oh, I can't wait.

01:27:02 Unleash Ultima. I agree with you. Yes, so... These Promotions and Demotions are going to be determined by your Crystal credit and all that stuff too, so make sure to keep that in mind for Crystal, Omega, and Ultima. Everything else is pretty much still the same in terms of earning Rising Stars for Promotion to Higher Tiers and everything like that, so...

01:27:29 Getting promoted from Crystal to Omega to Ultima is going to be determined on that Crystal credit, so keep that in mind as you go through all of it. Also, there is one other thing I wanted to bring up about PvP, and that is based on the feedback that we received, the dev team is now looking into ways to allow queuing.

01:27:55 Ja, ich weiß, das war wahrscheinlich die größte Feedback. Und nicht nur die größte Feedback, die wir gesehen haben, wie ein Day 1, Week 1.

01:28:23 We often see the community post like one year after kind of recap of what their thoughts are. And that was a request still very high in North America of asking for that. So super happy that the dev team is highly considering that. Yeah. So there you go. Really, really awesome stuff for PvP in the works, especially starting at 7.3. All right. Now we have more.

01:28:52 Meenerin, würde ich das erste Punkt nehmen? Ja, natürlich. So mit Cosmic Exploration, die completion der Moongate ist in der Hand, dank der Efforts der Illustrious-Adventurers. Yay! Yay! Die Cosmic Exploration Initiative ist bereit für den ersten Schritt in die Widerkosmos. Und ich bin sehr glücklich für das.

01:29:21 Man, we actually have previews for this stuff, like what that means and everything like that. So this initiative to go into wider cosmos is illustrated here. Yay! Lion, we're going to a new star. Oh, yeah, that's right. And as you can see here, it's like the deep vastness of space. But then you get to see...

01:29:48 Ich hoffe, ich sage das korrekt. Feina? Feina? Ja, ich würde es nicht sagen. Ich würde es nicht sagen. Feina. Aber ich denke, du hast es. Feina.

01:30:04 So really looking forward to this. We also have more screenshots based around this area. I don't really know what to say yet. So maybe we might just be waiting for another live letter to give you more information about this stuff. But so far seems really cool. I really like it.

01:30:22 Ja, und wenn du in späteren Tune bist, haben wir ein Q&A an den Beginn der Show gemacht, die hat die Feedback von der ersten Map von Cosmic Exploration bekommen. Wir posten an den Archiv nachdem der Show nachdem du nachdenken kannst. Für jetzt, wir haben eine cool Previews zu zeigen. Ja, mehr Parts von diesem und alles. Das ist wirklich, wirklich toll. Und dann, ich glaube, für die nächsten Part, wir haben ein paar Punkte zu über.

01:30:51 Giyomi, would you like to go ahead and review them? Yeah, we can go over. So on the new map for Cosmic Exploration, we're going to have exploration and survey of a new star beginning.

01:31:01 Wir werden auch weitere Erhöhungen für die Kosmik-Tools geben, also be sure zu haben die bereit und zu beantworten. Es gibt neue Rewards, und das war eine Sache, die sie aufzunehmen, ist, dass die Rewards-System noch wichtig ist, dass die Rewards-System noch wichtig ist, also die Rewards-Systeme noch zu beantworten. Und dann die Star-Ward-Standings-Stella, als die Star-Contributor-Status- und-Effekt werden auch auf dieser neuen Map für Finneah.

01:31:30 Really cool, so really exciting things. And yes, more time to reiterate, we did go over some of the Q&A portion stuff about Cosmic Exploration, so if you missed it, please go back and check that out. It's the first time we've ever done something like this, I feel like, in live letters and all that, so I think it's pretty interesting just in general to check out. Thank you. All right.

Phantomwaffen und neuer Deep Dungeon

01:32:00

01:32:00 So what is this going on? Weapon Enhancement Quests for Phantom Weapons within the Occult Crescent. Ooh. That's gonna be really something. And by really something, I feel like it's very obvious how the Warrior of Light feels, and I feel like that translates directly to how players feel at times when it comes to this, so... So, the first...

01:32:27 Ich versuche zu denken, denn in der ersten Kutscene, wir hatten eine shocker Reaktion, wenn Atma war. Aber ich versuche zu erinnern, weil die originalen Atma, was die zweite Step? Weil es die Wehren, die Wehren, die Wehren, die Wehren mit für Atma. Ich werde das jetzt schauen. Ich fühle mich, was das ist. Oder wir hörten die Worten, Atma, wieder einmal. Und wir sind so, nicht wieder. Hier geht's.

01:32:53 Alright, okay. So, um, this next part is gonna be something cool. So we've only just touched on, like, phantom weapons and stuff like that as a preview, but next up we're going to delve into the new Deep Dungeon. So you can see, like, the previous ones, like, uh, the Palace of the Dead, um, Heaven on High, and I'm blanking on the last one. Oh my gosh. Eureka Orthos, I got you. You're the best.

01:33:22 Love you, Rita Raiden. It's under Crystal Tower, that's why.

01:33:28 That's perfect. I love it. Awesome. So actually Meitreen, would you like to go over these points? Sure, of course. So if anyone is not aware what a deep dungeon is, it is a dungeon which the architecture changes each time a player does enter and explore the area. So players can begin at a designated level for the deep dungeon and gain experience as they progress towards the deepest floor.

01:33:56 There are specific Deep Dungeon arms and gear that can be enhanced every time you play. That's really cool. And we actually have more information about this, so let me go ahead and get that going too.

01:34:11 All righty, and I can take this one then? Entry will be available for groups of a single player up to four players with no role restrictions. The difficulty is unaffected by the party size, so you can go with any role compositions you'd like. And it can be used for leveling, so I've actually used it myself. Yeah, it's a really good leveling. A lot of groups will end up doing it, especially if they want to level with other players. For sure.

01:34:40 Ja, für sicher. Und du kannst es via einen NPC, sondern auf den Duty Finder. Und da gibt es eine Website, wo man die Details in der Playguide findet. Ja, wirklich wirklich toll. Und ich denke, wir haben previews für dieses specific Deep Dungeon. So, wir gehen jetzt an. Wir tun. All right, so dieses neue Dungeon, Deep Dungeon, excuse me, ist going to be called Pilgrim's Traverse.

01:35:06 Es ist wirklich, wirklich toll, so... Ich weiß nicht, wo die Traps sind. Ich bin immer aufhören, die Wallen und all diese Sachen. Und ich bin immer für die eine Zeit, die... Die eine, die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die... die...

01:35:33 From the next screenshot, I think it's pretty evident that it appears to be with the feyfolk, to some degree. Yeah, for sure. Oh, especially this next one. Yeah. 100%. Alright. Okay, Yomi, would you like to go... Yeah, no, I'll go over the next one, but I was sorry, what I was gonna say was maybe we'll see your favorite little sapling branch. Ooh, yes, for sure. Alright. Yeah.

01:36:01 Let me go ahead and get those points down for you. Yeah, so the Pilgrim's Traverse overview. Players must first complete the main scenario quest in Walker and progress through to floor 50 of Palace of the Dead. So if you haven't done that, definitely try and check out the Palace of the Dead. It's, you know, you could do that solo. So it's not too difficult. You also must be level 91 or above to enter.

01:36:27 Und du musst du es mit einem NPC in Ilmeg sprechen. So ich denke, dass das klar ist. Das ist sicher passiert in Ilmeg. Außerdem, wir haben... Oh, sorry, ich war einfach mit dem nächsten Slide. Wir haben eine Bonus-Duty, After-Completion. Und so, After-Completion, wird eine Harder-Version von Floor-99-Boss-Battles werden von der Dungeon Entrance-NPC.

01:36:55 Und du kannst du auf 100 level, oder mit einem Party of 4. Das ist vielleicht etwas, was wir sehen, aber was das ist? Wir werden nicht sagen. Oder vielleicht werden wir. Ein bisschen. Ein bisschen. Ein bisschen. Ein bisschen, ein bisschen.

01:37:16 So yeah, I'm gonna take that away now. It's our FanFest artwork. It's our FanFest artwork from like 2020. Our shirt t-shirt.

01:37:27 So yeah, pretty interesting stuff. So if you're interested in that, please make sure to check it out. But yeah. And then we're going to be going into more after that. But before we actually move on, we did also see a lot of feedback concerning ultimates and stuff. And although those will be released in patch 7.3 alongside these deep dungeons and stuff like that, it is in the works. So please look forward to it.

01:37:56 We saw some people even mention it in chat and we know that post the live letter, especially some players were asking like, oh no, where is it or where? So we got you. It's just coming a little later. Yep. All right. Then next up, we're going over.

Chat Bubbles, Headgear Support und Whiteboard Feature

01:38:17

01:38:17 Oh, the big one. Mm-hmm. Chat bubbles. Chat bubble feature. That's going to be really cool. I think this has been like a request for probably 10 years or so. Yeah. And because of those requests, it is under active development. So we're going to talk a little bit about this. Meenurine, would you like to be the one that goes over some of it?

01:38:40 Sure, of course. So for the Chat Bubble feature, the feature will be optional. It will be disabled by default, so you can toggle that on when you wish. The text will continue to display in the Chat Log as normal, so you can set it to be on or off according to Chat Mode. And you can also set the Chat Bubble colors and font colors through Chat Mode as well. Awesome. All right, and I believe there are more things to over for you as well?

01:39:09 Yes, um, it'll be, you can disable it, uh, or it can be disabled during battle and PvP, and you can set it, um, to show one lines or two lines of text, as well as the text will be truncated upon reaching a certain word count, so just be mindful that if you have long messages, it'll get cut off. Mm-hmm. All right, so this is pretty interesting. Like, we, as we saw, is it okay if I backtrack to a couple slides back so we can look at it again? Yeah, go for it. All right.

01:39:38 Sorry, sorry chat. Yeah. It's really cool. As you can see, there's like both examples in English and Japanese that you can see on there too. And then you do see that I believe the current setting right now is only for one line to show up as it kind of like... Or no, excuse me. They're just saying goodbye. My bad. So it's really cool. I really like it a lot. And it's cool because I believe you're going to be able to change the chat bubble colors depending on like...

01:40:07 Wenn es ein Party-Member ist, wenn es ein Roaming-Charakter ist. Es ist wirklich, wirklich cool. Ja, wir können es warten, bis es kommt live, so die Spieler spielen können. Und wenn es ist, bitte geben uns alle Feedback. Ja, ich bin wirklich wunderschön, wie verrückt es für Duty Commenced in der Zukunft wird. Aber wir sehen uns, wir sehen uns. Alright.

01:40:36 Is it okay if I talk about this one? Is that all right? Yeah. Go for it. You were excited about this one. What's your thinking, Kapon? All right. Because we're going to be going over some expanded headgear support for Hrothgar and Vieira. Oh my goodness. Various headgear will now display on Hrothgar and Vieira characters. And of course, if you didn't hear it already, further support for headgear, including helmets.

01:41:04 will be added in future updates. So while the amount of headgear is not yet determined, just know that they will constantly be working on various other headgears in the future, including helmets. So please look forward to it. But for now, I hope showing you all these really cool previews and stuff like that is going to be really, really nice to see.

01:41:33 Es ist Happening! Es ist Happening! Es ist Happening! Es ist Happening! Ich glaube, es ist Bard und Blackmage? Ich hoffe, ich bin nicht mistaken. Ja! Ich glaube, es ist Blackmage. Wir sahen... Es war ein Fun-Post, wo ein Konzept-Arte war dieses hat. Oh! Prior! Prior!

01:41:59 It's real now! It's real! Black Mages can wear it! Oh yeah, that is Bard and Black Mage, right? I believe? Yes. Okay. Yes, it is. Awesome. And then we actually have previews for Vieira as well. So, yay! Very cute. Look at that. I love that hat so much. Can't wait. Could be very cute. Alright, but actually...

01:42:26 Since we're looking at this feature and all that stuff too, we're going to go for the option to hide Vieira Ears, because this has also been something that the dev team observed within Feedback and all that stuff. So there is an option to hide Vieira Ears, and you can choose whether or not to display it on certain headgear. There will also be a subcommand that you could use for the visor toggle in the character window.

01:42:51 So that's going to be awesome. And then the display setting will be saved to the registered gear set equipped at a time. So really, really awesome. You get to be a little bit more, have a little bit more fun in terms of customizing your Viera. So really, really cute. And here is a small preview of that. Yeah, and I already see Chet asking, can we please add this on Makote too? Actually, that is a feedback.

01:43:17 We saw directly after the PLL, so please rest assured that has been relayed. But please say it here again as well, because we'll relay it once more. Yes, definitely, definitely. Already written it down. Yay! Got you Makote fam, I love you!

01:43:34 All right. And speaking of headpieces and all that stuff, bangs will now display while wearing hood-type headgear. So here's how it is right now, right? And here is how it's going to look with bangs. So amazing. Yay! I'm so happy about this change. I'm really curious how mine's going to react, because I have that straight cut across the bangs, so I wonder if it's going to show through.

01:44:03 Ich habe zu sehen, wir haben so viele coolen, äh... ...optionen, so man kann so viele, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, äh, ä

01:44:28 The whiteboard feature is going to be really cool, really awesome. If you want to plan how all this is going to go down, you can go ahead and use it here. I'm expecting a lot of 14 streamers to utilize this thing, especially if they're trying to teach stuff too. So really cool feature for that because I know there's definitely some guide makers and a lot of other types of content creators that do make guides. So I really hope this is going to see some

01:44:57 Relevance in that realm of things.

01:45:02 Awesome. Ja. Really, really cool stuff. Just showing all of the previews and everything about this is, like, really cool. And you can even, like, show the telegraphs of, like, attacks and all that stuff. And we will really, really, really, really, really want to have your feedback concerning this because it is going to be quite a lot of information, so. Yeah. All right.

01:45:33 Okay, so here are features under consideration. Meinerine, would you like to go over this one? Sure, of course. So the functions that are under consideration right now are the functionality to display the whiteboard where desired, including during battle. I know a lot of folks sometimes do teach others or want to see these boards or raid plans while they're progressing through a fight, so that would be...

01:46:01 Pretty cool if this function does occur. And there will be hopefully options to highlight specific jobs, have the ability to set up multiple schemes for a single duty. And this one was a big one that I was actually seeing in a bunch of feedback for the whiteboard feature is the option to share it with others on various consoles and PC.

01:46:24 Alright, awesome. And some people in chat even brought it up too, where it's just like, we need to be able to share this. So there's your answer. And also on top of that, I did see somebody else ask about how many whiteboards you can share and all that stuff, but we will get probably a more precise number in the future very soon. And that might be a point for us to also jot down as well. But yeah. Thank you so much for, what do you call it?

Final Fantasy XIV Summer Festival of Light, Anime Expo und Merchandise Ankündigungen

I remember, I feel like, Meena Rain, were you with me when we saw previews and stuff for this? I thought it was fake. We thought it was fake.

And through this raid, players can experience a reimagined story of Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy. And I really enjoyed this raid myself. It's really dear to my heart. Awesome. All right. I feel like this is all going to be really awesome stuff that's going to be shown.

You can see how the UI is different on the screenshot on the left compared to the one on the right. But yeah, it's going to be really, really awesome. Oh yeah, and then there it is, like a little bit of a close-up preview of the Enhanced version. And next up we have the Classic version, which is also really cool too.

01:57:31 Ja. Ich hoffe, dass die Pre-Orders in, wenn ihr wollt. Das ist richtig. Okay. Ich glaube, das ist alles. Ich hoffe, wir nicht mehr missen. Ich fühle mich nicht mehr, wenn wir sind. Aber... Das war ziemlich viel Information, würde ich sagen. Vielen Dank, alle, für sichern. Wenn ihr braucht mehr Zeit, um...

01:58:00 Ich bin bereit für Community Commendations, wenn ihr zwei seid. Ich bin bereit! Ich bin bereit! Ich bin bereit. Okay, hier geht's. Okay, so starten uns auf. Okoyome, würdest du mindst den ersten?

01:58:25 Sure thing. First up, we have Austin Arts, or Asabi Izusami, from Goblin. With everyone's favorite Makote, Ishtola. Yeah, and this is like 1.0, 2.0, like 3.0? ARR, I think. Well, 1.0 ARR, yeah. Look at that look. Yeah.

01:58:46 It has a very animatic, animation type kind of vibe to it, so I really love this style, and I just love the way that they have their lineart strokes. Oh, that's true, yeah, and she's not blind yet in this. Right, yeah. Somebody pointed it in. Really, really cool. But yeah, I really like this piece a lot, and it's like a blend of having the sketch still kind of in there, and I really, really like it a lot for some reason. It's really cool. I really like it a lot.

01:59:17 Beautiful artwork. Thank you so much for submitting. Yep, yep. And then Meena Rain, why don't you go ahead and introduce the next one? Right, so the next one is Gavika Comics, also known as Viramil Crimson Wisp of Ragnarok. They are sharing their White Mage Warrior of Light, who loves collecting gil. Oh, that's what's in their hands. That's what they're holding, yes. Oh yeah, that is super cute. I love how they have the gold motifs in their, like,

01:59:46 So, not only in their buckle, in the rose petals, and on their hand, they kind of have that amber color reflected. That's super cool. I thought it was an Ordell's coin, to be honest, when I first saw it, but I'm completely wrong. But yeah, really, really cool. I really like this. It really does feel like it's from a comic, like as they're using. Crosshatching, really good. Yeah. Really, really cool to see something like this, so.

02:00:15 Thank you so much for showcasing this. Okuyomi, would you like to do the next one? Yeah, next up we have Okwiv or UX Shirohi from Malboro. Oh, it's Feen! This one's awesome. I really, really like the amount of gold that's used in this one too. Yeah, I think the background ties this in really well for me because it's very living memory-esque.

02:00:44 I was thinking of the mesoterminal sculpture up at the top. That's what the background made me think of. Yeah, this is really cool. I love this piece. I think it kind of, even if you don't know anything about Sven, I think you could kind of get some vibe of her personality from this artwork. And that's what I really like about it. Yeah. And somebody did point out in chat the reflection on this at the very bottom is really, really stunning too.

02:01:13 Really, really amazing art piece. The way it's lit up, all of it, super cool. Really, really amazing work. The artist also has another one in the next slide. Wow.

02:01:30 Aaronville looks sick. Wait, not Aaronville. Oh my god, what am I saying? Is it Aaronville? No, it is Aaronville. I was thinking of somebody else, so I'm glad I got that correct the first time. I mean, if I remember correctly, the art style seems similar to a different franchise, so I think that's where the inspiration might have been from. I don't know which one it is, but it makes sense. I think so too. But this is really cool.

02:01:57 Again, the use of lighting through this artist's artwork is really, really awesome. I love it so much. It's really, really cool. And yeah, look at his eyes. Really, really cool. Yeah, they share the same VA. FYI. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. That's awesome. But yes, these two pieces were amazing. So thank you so much for allowing us to showcase it.

02:02:26 Ja. All right. And next up we have Zodiark. Not to be confused with Zodiark, their world. And this is by Saran Sevir. And again, there's like more gold showing up in this. It really is Dawn Trail, because I feel like that's the official color for it, I believe. So, really cute. Right, yeah.

02:02:51 I love the background, like just kind of the motif that they have with their framing on this. Super ornate. And then just like the jewelry details on here. Yeah. It's so beautiful. It's really cute and beautiful. Is this an Astro? I think so. I'm looking at the details on their outfit and I believe so. I'm not sure which outfit it is though. It's the one that Uriandri wears. Like it's the AF from...

02:03:19 Was it Shadowbringers? I feel like that's what he was wearing in Shadowbringers, wasn't it? Yeah, uh-huh, I think so. Yeah. The other hint that it was Astro was also that it's kind of in a card. On the card, yeah. The back of a card. That's really cool. I like it a lot. Amazing. Speaking of Astros. Oh, true. Next up, who do we got, Okuyomi? Next up, we have Liz Hell or...

02:03:47 Viz Eskva von Tonberry. Die sind super. Ich liebe das. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Die Schieva ist mein Lieferung, weil es so gut ist. Die beiden sind sehr schön. Ich liebe das Schieva. Und Naya, vielleicht du auch? Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Ich liebe das Schieva. Es ist ein tolles Charakter.

02:04:14 There's a few cutscenes that really made me grow attached to her and all that stuff. On top of the fact that she is the vessel for Shiva, too. Because I love Shiva. She was amazing in almost every iteration of her and throughout Final Fantasy. So big ups to this artist for capturing both characters in such a very amazing way. And yeah.

02:04:41 Ich liebe die Astro-Effekt auf die Weapon. Das ist super cool. Ich liebe die Licht-Reflectung, um die Rainbow-Pattern zu machen. So nice.

02:04:51 Really cool stuff. All right, Minarine, who do we have next? Next up, we have Priscilla__art01, and their characters are Yasiel and Kira from Excalibur, and actually the other character is their husband's character, Hikarin Olgath from Excalibur as well. It was really cute, actually. Hikarin was actually the one who posted it.

02:05:18 um on on reddit um to show off his wife's or their wife's artwork since they were a little shy to do so so i would encourage it colors on this is yeah i agree with chat the color and lighting in both of these pieces is very soft lit but they use

02:05:36 Ich denke, von einem Art Perspektive ist es sehr soft-lit, aber sie benutzen sehr hoch-contraste Farben. Und man sieht die Farben nicht immer wieder, so es macht diese Farben sehr gut, die ist super cool. Ja. Und eine andere Sache, über Kontrast, ist zwischen den beiden Charakten, man sieht ein Kontrast zwischen den Charakten. Man sieht die Farben auf der Seite ist sehr stark, edgy, super... Ich weiß nicht, real raw und rough. Und dann...

02:06:04 The one on the left is very soft, very gentle. And even the colors kind of illustrate that too. So I really like these two pieces together. It's awesome. Yeah. Thank you so much for submitting, even if it wasn't your work. If it was your... Alright. And then next up, we have Tiny Worrywort, or Saturn Shadowheart of Malboro. This style is so cute.

02:06:31 Das Style ist super schön, super schön. Ich liebe es, wie jeder Art von Lied ist sehr chunky. Es gibt mir so eine RAW-Painted-on-Effekt. Es ist super cool, aber ich liebe es. Und look at die Augen auf den beiden. Ja, ich liebe es sehr viel. Es ist wirklich, sehr schön. Und die Art von Liedern machen die Details auf die Gesichter, es wirklich attraktiv your attention.

02:06:56 Und eine Sache, die Makote image ist, für die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... die ... ... ... die ... ... ... die ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

02:07:24 Wer ist das? Nein, ich sage es, es ist für Ques. Aber wir haben Fraudra Neith, oder Fraudra Neith von Phoenix. Awesome, wirklich, wirklich amazing pieces. Ich glaube, die one zu der leften ist, ja, das ist Tradition, weil ich sehe die Clips, sorry. Ich denke, es sind beide. Ich denke, eine ist Watercolor und die andere ist ein Colored Pencil mit Copic, vielleicht beide. Wenn nicht Copic, dann ist es ein Colored Marker, glaube ich.

02:07:52 I see. It looks like it, at least. Minarine, do you remember? Do you know if they state it? No, they didn't state whether it was Copic marker or colored pencil or anything. Okay. But it looks that way, I think. Yeah, the hair looks colored pencil on the right, but everything else looks Copic. But the other one appears to be like a watercolor. It's on watercolor paper, at least. Of Emmerich. That's really cool. Yeah, I love both of these pieces and...

02:08:20 Shoutouts to the Red Mages. Let's go. Right? Really, really cool. Seeing both of these pictures together is super cool that the artist has a lot of talent. Mm-hmm. All right. And next up, Minarine, who do we have? Last but not least, we have Vidhos from Reddit with Art of Grahatia and Harshafont as well. Their line work is so clean. Yeah.

02:08:48 I love the background that blends into the foreground kind of features on these things, too. It's pretty awesome, honestly. Yeah, especially because

02:09:01 So that's like the old-ish, well, that's kind of the new-ish Graha, but I think with both of them, just how it's kind of faded, it's like, oh my gosh, my Shadowbringers Crystal Exarch memories, and then my Harshapont memories. Yeah, for sure. It's really cool, though. Oh, man. Yeah. But yes. Cool. Awesome. I think we now...

02:09:28 Wir sind am Ende von Community Commendations. Meinerin, würde Sie gerne sagen, wie sie ihre Art war hier? Ich habe jemanden in Chat gesehen.
