FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE
00:00:00
00:00:06 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. We're just going to be kicking things off with a quick test real quick, just to see if you can hear us well and everything like that. So if you are in chat, we would kindly appreciate you letting us know if everything sounds okay, everything looks okay. Yeah, let us know. I can make changes as needed. Yeah.
00:00:35 Just a second.
00:00:41 We'll just wait and see. Hello, how are you doing? Yeah, we're just making sure everything's working all right. Yeah, let us know in chat if everything sounds all right, everything looks all right, and we can move on. Might be like another quick test, like before, so just let us know. Everything's all good. I assume everything's all right. Can you hear us well?
00:01:10 Daniel and Minarine. Wow, why did I just do that? Fantastic. One, two, three. It's okay. Yeah, but... We can alternate, too. You can call me Okuyomi, and then we'll be Sarah Okuyomi. There we go. No, I was actually about to say Daniel and Okuyomi. Can you talk, Chris?
00:01:29 Oh yeah, no. I have no Okuyomi today. I'm sorry, Danielle. It's okay, you can take over. Go ahead, take the wheel, Sarah! Nope, actually, no, I'm good. Okay. Wheel's back to you. Mina Reina and Okuyomi, Sarah and Danielle. Oh my gosh. This is so difficult. Thank you, Aya, Sci-seeker. Thank you, Aya. That's me. I have Aya, Sci-seeker. Okay, but everything seems...
00:01:58 Okay, cool. I think we're good. Audio's good. Okay, real quick, I just want to go ahead and switch the screen over to what we're primarily going to be looking on. I think you all can see it on stream, but this is what we're going to be giving away today. No, I will not give you the keyword just yet, but we're going to be giving away five corp recur.
00:02:27 Soap Dispensers, is that how you pronounce it? That's how I say it. I mean, if that's how you say it, I'm good with that. That's how everybody else says it, I'm good with that. I think you cannot count on me for pronunciations. We know that. Sometimes, you know, like sometimes, you know, there was one time where like you said a word and I was just like, I didn't even know how to pronounce that. Oh my gosh.
00:02:56 Weil wir die Sprachen hatten.
00:03:01 Ich glaube, es war Wakumeiki. Wakumeikimiki. Vielleicht ist das es. Ja, ich denke so. Ja, das ist richtig. Danke, die Lokalisation Team, für uns alle. Ich denke, das ist es. Ich denke, das ist alles, was wir mussten testen. Also, wir werden live in 30-ish Minuten. Oder ein bisschen unter 30 Minuten, würde ich sagen. Ja, vielen Dank, alle, für...
00:03:27 Actually, one second. Just checking to make sure everything's fine. Okay. Looks good. Sounds good. Okay. Sweet. Yeah, we will see all of you in just under 30 minutes. Take this time for yourselves. Grab a snack. Maybe grab something to hydrate. And we'll see you in about a 30-ish or so. Thanks for being here.
Begrüßung und Vorstellung des Teams
00:29:51
00:29:51 Hello everybody and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. Thank you so much for being here this evening with us. We're going to go ahead and get started, but before we do, let us go ahead and introduce ourselves. So I'll start with myself. My name is Aya, also known as Psyseeker. And then I'm just going to move directly to the left of me. I want you to go ahead.
00:30:13 Hi, everybody! I'm Sarah, also known as Minarine, from the Official Forums. Hi, everybody! Happy Wednesday! And then, lastly, we have... Hi! I'm Danielle, or Okieomi on the Official Forums. Nice to have everyone on a Wednesday Street! Yes! Oh, I'm echoing. I don't know if that was Sarah or me. Or me? I hope it's not me.
00:30:41 Oh, I hope it's not me. Yeah, but we'll see. All of us are echoing? All of us? Doesn't seem like we are. Are we echoing to everybody? I am not hearing an echo, not for me. Oh, you might have two tabs of us open. So.
00:31:01 Oder du meinst die ECHO, wie die BUFF? Ja, das ist die BUFF. Wenn so, würde ich wirklich gerne sagen. Okay, aber gut zu wissen, dass alles okay ist, glaube ich. Kannst du alle hören uns okay, egal? Kannst du alles okay, egal? Kannst du alles okay, egal? Es ist sicher, aber es ist gut. Alright, cool.
00:31:28 Yeah, before we get started, we are going to have a giveaway. So let me go ahead and just go over that really quick. So once again, please note that the live stream giveaways for our North American community streams are for North America only. If you need more details on that stuff, please look at that over there. But aside from that, this is what will be given away. We'll give five total Korporker soap dispensers, which is very cute.
00:31:57 So if you're interested in joining that, please wait till the end of the stream so that you can win one of these really, really cute prizes. Yeah, I think we actually have a lot to go through, so I think we should just go ahead and get started. Danielle, Sarah, are you both ready to go? I'm really ready. I'm so ready.
00:32:23 I think it's about 100 slides. So we have a lot. We're going to have a lot to go through. So here we go. Let's go ahead and get started with our recap over the 86th letter from the producer live. So let's just go ahead and get going, shall we? So if you didn't know it already, it is coming out next week on Tuesday, March 25th. So please, please, please mark your calendars. Make sure you're ready to go.
00:32:52 Yeah, I'm excited for this. We hope all of you are too. And it's coming up so fast. Yeah. We're just trying to add to the excitement too. So hopefully we do that. All right. One week in sleep. That's all we got. That's true.
00:33:10 Now we're going to move on. If you do want to check out the trailer, please go ahead and do so. There are specific ones for you to go ahead and check out. So according to the language that you want to watch it in, please make sure to check it out.
Patch 7.2 Inhalte: Neue Szenarien, Dungeon, Trial und Raid
00:33:25
00:33:25 All right, so starting us off, Minarine, would you like to go ahead and discuss the things that are on the slide here? Yes, so coming up for patch 7.2, we're going to have new scenario, main scenario quests, a new dungeon called the Underkeep. I'm very interested to explore those hallways. I'm a big fan of the scenery there. I want to see what those paintings are.
00:33:52 And a new trial called the Recollection, both the normal and extreme versions. Who's excited for that? I know I am! I know I am, too. Please make sure to use the Explorer mode if you are choosing to also peruse the dungeon, as Minarine put. So, yeah. Go through and see everything. Take your G-Pose. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:34:15 You can also do it in the trial, too, but I guess if you do it while the trial is going on, some of your party members might not be so happy.
00:34:24 Just go in there with people you know, and then you can go ahead and do all that, right? Mhm. Alright, let's move on to the next one. Okuyomi, would you like to go over this? Oh, we're about to get funky. Yep, we're also gonna have Savage, well, the Arcadian Cruiser Wake tier, Normal and Savage Mode, but a note for Savage Mode that we'll be releasing one week after, so we're actually about two weeks away from that. A little bit longer.
00:34:54 Für sure, für sure. Um, actually, I missed something that we should have totally gone over. So I'm sorry, I'm going to backtrack just one slide over. But for the trial, the reward this time is only one token per clear and not two. And this is based on the fact that it depends on the difficulty and length of the trial. So with those factors in mind, this is why the new trial is only going to be one token. So, keep.
00:35:23 Ja, das ist ein guter Punkt. Ja, ich bin so sorry für das. Ja, ich bin wirklich glücklich für den Cruiserweight hier. Haben wir noch etwas später? Oh, okay. So, wir bleiben hier und fokuss auf das ein bisschen. Wir haben ein wirklich cooles Video, das wir können und so auf, wenn wir wollen.
00:35:48 Yes. Yes. All right. I'm going to go ahead and pause the music here real quick. And then let me go ahead and set this up. And hopefully it's not too loud. But if it is, let me know. But without further ado, enjoy. We're probably going to be talking over it a little bit as well. So, yeah. Hopefully everybody can hear what's going on. Hopefully it's not too loud either.
00:36:18 Das ist wirklich cool.
00:36:23 So this is kind of different than what Yoshida had shown over on what they call a letter from the producer live. Well, it's a little loud. I like to jam out to it. I think there's a lot of jam jam out there. It's very discotech-y. Louder. I'm already dancing here. I know, I'm like a circle parrot.
00:37:06 Footwork.
00:37:18 Ja, das war das erste Ding, das wir hatten für Arcadian. So, ich freue mich auf alle anderen Sachen, die kommen von es. Es wird wirklich, wirklich cool sein. Ich werde wieder zurück und wieder auf die Musik wiederholfen. Aber ja, wirklich, wirklich awesome. All vier Floors dieser Tier sind wirklich, wirklich cool und anders aus. So, look.
00:37:46 Please look forward to that. Hope that was really cool. I hope you liked it. Yeah. I think also, too, we can probably mention this, but if you go take a look at the 7.2 special site, you might get a little sneak peek of some of the other bosses. I like it. I like it. Yeah. I'm pretty excited for it. I think they all look very unique and cute as well. Well, some are cool, some are cute. Just depends.
00:38:15 For sure, for sure. All right, I actually do have some gear that we could show off as well. These ones are going to be muted and we're just going to be completely talking over them. So I'm going to leave the music on and all that stuff. But would you guys like to see all of these different gear sets that we're going to get from this tier? Yeah, let's see. All right, I'm going to start off with the bending set.
00:38:44 Für all our tank scenes out there. Yep. Looks really, really good.
00:38:53 All right, now I'm going to just be playing these in succession of one another. So that was Fending, all right. And then now next we have Striking. Really, really cool stuff. I really like this set a lot. It kind of reminds me of a certain other thing going on. Look at the shoes. Yeah, I love it. And the puffy jacket. Oh my gosh.
00:39:18 really nice huh yeah i see i agree with chat chat's like i like the jacket i like the shoes and the jacket we need to get that fit all right next up we have aiming
00:39:30 This one looks cool. I like the way that the vest clips over the top. I guess it's like a really, really awesome. I'm definitely getting that jacket. I'm still on the striking one. I'm like, I'm all about the striking one. Same here. And next up we have scouting. This one actually might be my personal favorite, honestly.
00:39:58 Just off the base looks of it, looks really cool. It's another puffy jacket, but I think I'm still on Team Striking right now. What about chat? I guess we gotta see all of them. I might swap, actually. Alright, next up we have Mei-Ming. Very cute.
00:40:21 This one also kind of has a puffy jacket, too. Oh, yeah. It's kind of hard to see, but the weapon. I mean, let's... Reaper, right? Yes. Absolutely. 100%. Reaper me? Let's go. Okay. And for our casters coming up, we're going to look at healers first, actually. So here is healers. Team healer.
00:40:46 I really like the shoes. Oh, wow. Yeah. Look at the arm piece. Aw, yeah. I like what's on the wrist. It looks really cool. Like, my eyes keep getting drawn to it. Let me pull out my little GPS system on my wrist right now. Yeah. Okay, and then next up now we have casting. I like the base colors for casting this expansion. Like, they've always chosen, like, really nice colors for them. I'm kind of jealous. Mm-hmm.
00:41:16 Yeah, so nice as well. Yeah, for sure. All right. But yes, that was pretty much it for the raid gear sets. So if you like any of those, please consider doing the Arcadian Cruiserweight tier. So and then if you want Diable versions, then Savage is for you.
PvP-Update: Frontline Secure kehrt zurück, Verbesserungen und neue Rollenaktionen
00:41:42
00:41:42 We can move on to the next thing. Minarine, would you like to go over some of this stuff for PvP? Sure, yes. So with the patch 7.2 Frontline Secure will be returning. Who's excited for it? I know. We've been waiting for it. You've been waiting. I know. Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun.
00:42:10 We're going to dive in some other updates that are happening a little bit later in the PowerPoint, too, but I'm excited to see what we get. I know we got to talk about this last DC, too, and I was really hyped for the middle area. I was like, let's go! The nodes are about to spawn! Let's go! Yeah, I actually have videos and stuff for that, but there are other pieces about this that we can go over. In PvP, you're now going to be able to use party-limited actions on Alliance members.
00:42:38 Das ist wirklich, wirklich hilfreich, denke ich. Das ist wirklich großartig. Ja. Es ist eine andere Abilität, aber ich denke, oh man... Es wird geändert, Metas. Es wird gut sein. Ja, das stimmt. Du hast auch gesagt, wenn es es wieder zurückkommt, und dann die Leute in den Chatzeilen starten zu sprechen. Also, hier ist es. Was ist auch sehr schön, was die Veränderungen zu machen,
00:43:07 Yoshida actually showed off how you can run and mount seamlessly, like, without having to wait to cast for a mount also, which is really, really nice. And what's cool about that is that it will apply outside of PvP also. So, yeah. You know what? You want to know something that's kind of funny. What's up? I feel like I... So a lot of other online games don't have that feature where you had, like, it's a seamless transition.
00:43:35 Aber ich habe mich in anderen Online-Games zu tun. Ich würde mich einfach stoppen und meine Freunde fragen, warum du stoppest? Ich sage, was du stoppest? Du hast du stoppest. Ich bin all für diese Veränderung, weil das wird viel besser machen. Ja, das wird wirklich gut sein. Oh, und dann, sorry, für die neue Large-Scale PvP-Roll-Aktions.
00:44:02 You only need to set one action button and that button will change to whichever action that you selected as. So that's pretty convenient. I think that's really nice.
00:44:14 So, I think we can move on from... Actually, let me see what's up next, but I do kind of have a few things. Okay. So, before we actually move on from the frontline stuff, I actually have more videos to show you. Yay! Yay! Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and pause this really quick, and then I'm going to switch it just to make sure we have everything. I have a couple videos for this, so...
00:44:41 Please enjoy them. These might be loud again, so I'll try to bring it down as the videos are playing. So here is the first one that pretty much just shows securing an area. Engage.
00:45:08 I brought it down just a little bit more, but yeah. Look at that, we have the new UI countdown as well. That's cool. Everybody can hear this, right? I can hear it, okay. I can hear it, okay. Perfect.
00:45:28 Is it me or does it feel more, like, open than before? A little bit, yeah. I think also because we're looking at an aerial, too, like with these. These are obviously new, the beacons. I guess... I don't know what they'll be called in English, but... That's true. The point, I believe they are.
00:45:53 Das ist, das ist ein Punkt. Und dann werden wir uns zeigen, was die Towers in der Becke werden. So, bitte be auf den Standby und bitte für die nächsten Video.
00:46:04 And then I'll adjust it as we go for that next one as well. So let me go ahead and those points ticking up. They've got the control of the point. All right. And here is this tower showcasing exactly how that's going to work. So here it is. Here's what's going to happen. Look at it. They're going. Go to the tower. Go to the tower. Show us what's on the tower.
00:46:37 Oh my gosh, turn four flashbacks, let's go! So these things that are essentially meteors into an area are very curious to me. I'm very curious about them. Yeah, so before for players who... I saw some people in chat saying they had never played Secure, but when the...
00:47:04 Wenn die Spahn in der Mitte passiert, dann würde ich sie unternehmen. Sie waren die Enemies, aber das ist anders. Das ist das Fall. Ja, so wir können eigentlich watch this part. Wenn du notice, nach dem Towers Resolve haben, die Punkte für Resolving sie. Aber wenn du nicht in den Towers hast, dann ist das Severe Dammage zu dir, ist was ich gesehen. Oder es ist Dammage zu dir, wenn du die Towers hast. Und, ja. Das war etwas, was ich gefragt, wie genau das? Wie ist das?
00:47:33 Ja, es ist interessant, weil es wie Ice ist in den anderen Game Mode, wo es ein DPS-fest war, wie ein PVE-DPS-fest war. Aber das ist das Reverse-fest, jetzt ist das Dramat, welches ist interessant. Es ist wirklich cool, aber ich bin wirklich glücklich für das. Okay, nächst up, wir haben die neue Unreal Trial, die Hell's Kier, Unreal.
00:48:02 um so if you're a big fan of uh suzaku and uh your lore with tenzen please make sure to look forward to it me and me in a range looking for who's gonna be like tenzen i was watching we'll never be parted again and of course uh new corn servant side quests will be added so if you haven't done that yet head to toluyal by the docks and try to uh do as much of the corn servant side quests as you can
00:48:34 All right, we'll go into the next slide.
00:48:40 Oh, yes. PvE and PvP Job Adjustments. New Roll Actions. Yeah, I'm just gonna make sure all that goes down. Oh, sorry. Went one ahead. Yeah, this was something that they mentioned also during the PvE and PvP adjustments and that how much the dev team tried to raise other jobs to align, but like Pictomancer was kind of just performing a little bit too much.
00:49:09 They've made some downward adjustment to Pictomancer itself. So they're probably going to start adjusting things with that in mind moving forward. So something to consider and or like to keep in mind rather. Yeah, that's really cool. Those new role actions that I mentioned are coming. Ooh, and new Disciple of...
00:49:36 War and Magic Crafted Gear will be available, as well as duty support for the Sunken Temple of Karn and the new Allegan Tomestones of Mathematics. Didn't we say last time, like, what if you had to solve math problems in order to get your tomes? And then if you get it wrong, you lose all of them. No, I'm just kidding. That'd be terrible. Yeah, hopefully not.
Cosmic Exploration in Patch 7.21: Missionen, Mecha Ops und Belohnungen
00:50:03
00:50:03 Alright. Cosmic Exploration is up next. Did you guys want to go over the talking points about Cosmic Exploration here?
00:50:15 Ja, wir können. Und dann, um zu erklären, das ist in Patch 7.21, so es wird nicht auf 7.2 sein, aber es ist etwas zu sehen, aber es ist etwas zu sehen. Definitiv. Ich glaube, wir haben ein Video für das, oder? Wir haben ein paar, ich sollte sagen. Ja. So, wir können das jetzt gehen und schauen.
00:50:44 So this first one that we're going to be looking at deals with cosmic exploration missions. So here we go. As usual, we're going to be talking over them, so please don't mind us.
00:51:04 Es zeigt, wie das, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
00:51:33 Oh, look at that! Look at that! The Cosmo Mission complete!
00:52:00 Yay! Oh, and then this one is exciting. So I'll wait until that goes off. I'll turn the BGM up. I don't want to blow people's ears out. Enjoy. Really cool that you see, like, when an emergency is happening, you see a different thing going on around the area. Really awesome.
00:52:26 Oh, look, and there's different quests, I think. Is that what I'm seeing? Different quests come up through during these? Emergency! Emergency! Seems that way. Oh, look at that. Gonna be able to start it, too.
00:52:45 Und dann der nächste Video ist die Mecha Ops, ich glaube sie sind. So, go ahead and take a look at that. Oh, let's go. I know Zexos is a big fan of things like this, so. So for sure he's looking forward to it. Looks cool, you get your own little cutscene as well, it's perfect.
00:53:22 Oh my gosh, we have to go extract all the materials. Let's go! Extraction time! Look at that, we can get the whole aerial shot then. Look at the bases! Oh, that was cool. I liked it a lot. It shows you the area you see. Oh, I'll get it.
00:53:52 Von der all the resources. We must go. I know they stated this isn't for combat purposes, but... Uh, that's pretty combat-y. Right? Yeah! It's just like that, uh, the rocket launcher, right? Is that what you were going to bring up? Yeah, from Diadem, the, like, where gatherers, like, botanists and, uh, miners would be like, oh, they got a gun!
00:54:14 The Augument? Was was it called? The Augia-something? The Augumenter? And you have to build up your Limit Break? I'm sure someone in Chad will bring it up. This is the next part that deals with the Fortune Roulette System. Kind of something similar to what they had over at Ishgard Restoration. Oh yeah, this is a little different though. Yeah, it has a different UI for sure. I think Ishgard Restoration was a scratch ticket kind of thing, right?
00:54:44 so this is just it appears like a random kind of version of it which is essentially the same thing but i like the little pinwheel i would do this for days yes same here spin no we want the rare one i want the star i don't want the flan i want my money back all right and then we got one last video to show off for this so this is like uh this has to do with your contribution to cosmic exploration
00:55:10 So I believe on your respective server, you will be essentially given an MVP award so that you can go ahead and have your projections set up. You can even change the way you're posed and everything like that, which is really cool. Oh, that's cute. Crafting gathering lanes? Rise up? Question mark? I would say gathering. Oh, look at the bus!
00:55:39 So if you're like a top contributor, that's supposed to be the buff that you receive for that. But I do believe it's so if you don't want that, like if you don't want to show it off, you can turn it off. But like if you want it back on, you have to, I think, exit the zone and come back.
00:55:58 I want that. It's like cute little planets flying around. Yeah, it's really, really cute. I am so looking forward to all of that, but I am. Why don't we go ahead and move on to other stuff? We're probably going to go more in depth into everything that we've been showing you, but we're just making sure to get everything shown off to you so you guys have an idea of what to expect. But yeah, so next up we have the Occult Crescent.
Occult Crescent in Patch 7.25: Phantom Jobs, Critical Engagements und Allied-Society-Quests
00:56:27
00:56:27 which is really, really awesome. Yeah, and this is arriving in Patch 7.25, so not with Cosmic Exploration, but after that. Yeah, very, very awesome. We actually have a few videos for this as well, so I'm really hyped to show those off, so let me go ahead and get that set up really quick.
00:56:52 So this first video will have to do with phantom jobs, support job type system. So I'm going to go ahead and move to it now.
00:57:08 Yeah, so this is really cool. So you could choose exactly like which actions that you want to have. And I believe like how Eureka had the elemental wheel, you can go ahead and switch these actions that you're going to want to use. And yeah, it's really cool because like, I think you could switch if you want it to turn clockwise or counterclockwise too. I think we'll see that in this video. So yeah, right there. So super, super cool.
00:57:38 Can't wait. Really, really awesome. That, it is very similar to the Elemental Wheel. I think we get to see one of those actions in action, so to speak. Look at it, it's swollen.
00:58:07 Das ist eine gute Musik.
00:58:14 Look at that, and their Knowledge Level is 5, but they have those three abilities. Because, like, that's actually, I wonder how many total we'll get. Because in previous, like, iterations, you know, usually you couldn't have that right away. So that's, I don't, I guess I don't know what our max Knowledge Level is. But that, yeah, that, I'm assuming based on, like, you know, the older content had, like, oh, what?
00:58:43 So levels like Eureka. Yeah, that makes sense. And there were other abilities that were grayed out in that video that we just saw. So really, really cool. And then the next one I have next is about critical engagements. So we're going to go ahead and check that out.
00:59:09 Gosh, I can't wait to just run around in this area. It's a lot more lush and less war-driven than Vosha. Than maybe Vosha in front. Yeah. Kind of bringing us back to that exploratory feel that we got in Eureka and stuff, which is really nice. An anomaly is occurring. What will happen? Yeah, I like that visual effect.
00:59:39 Oh no, Kalibris. Why are there Kalibris? Please, stop. It's really cool, though, that they have the time mage abilities for their phantom job, and then they can utilize that with their current skill set. I think Buster's still brutal. Oh.
01:00:06 Das war wirklich, wirklich toll. Ich fühle mich, das ist, wo ich werde leben. Ich denke, das ist, wo ich werde. Ich denke, das ist, wo ich werde, wie ich werde. All right. Aside von der Occult Crescent, wir haben eine neue Allied-Society-Quest mit der Mamulja, das ist sehr, sehr cool. Und dann haben wir auch, insofern, weiter Hildeprand Adventures.
01:00:35 Very, very nice. Okay. Oh, yes. So, we already showed you guys everything about the Arcadian Cruiserweight tier. So, yeah. Just to make sure that you note that Savage will be releasing one week after Patch 7.2 releases. So, keep that in mind, please. Get all your gear ready if you need it to.
01:01:02 Excuse me, and Materia, I should say. Well, you gotta be hoarding the Materia. Prices are already probably up, y'all. Go buy the Archibald. Yeah, and then as we mentioned earlier, the roll action is exclusive to large-scale PvP. And you're going to be able to select one of three actions available, so please make sure to check that out. And the selected action can be changed at the starting area, even after...
01:01:31 So this might be big. This would be like a way for you to go ahead and adapt to what's going on and what's needed. I really like this because we saw a lot of feedback within the community about how...
01:01:49 PVP war das Gefühl, als die C, dass die Veränderungen in diesem Fall waren, dass die Veränderungen in diesem Fall waren. Und weil das neue Content war, gab es viele Veränderungen, aber das war nicht immer so gut, um Large-Scale PVP. Also, dass wir diese Veränderungen haben, dass das Veränderungen für Large-Scale PVP ist, glaube ich, dass die Dev-Team das Feedback in die Idee genommen hat, um das Veränderungen zu machen.
01:02:19 um like a uh balance when it comes to small and large scale pvp could have sworn that we kind of had something like this before like not exactly like just for front lines but i don't know maybe that was just like during the earlier days of pvp stuff where like there was something where you could choose and select from but
01:02:41 Ja, ich meine, es ist, wenn du zurück nach Wolves' zu denken, richtig? Ja. Oh mein Gott, so lange ago, richtig? Das war free-for-all, alles geht. Man, das war einfach, alle PVE-Aktions waren für dich, richtig? Oh, man. Ja. Ja, das war crazy, für sicher. Marauders, Marauders only. Everywhere, Marauders. All right, let's go ahead und check out die Roll-Action-Examples.
01:03:10 Okuyomi oder Minarine, wollen Sie diese mal überstehen? Ich denke Minarine war Eying Stoneskin, wenn wir das erste Mal haben, so... Ich war so, ich vermisse Stoneskin. So, ich werde über sie, ja, sicher. So, für die Tank, um, wir haben Rampage. So, attacks all nearby enemies und erhöhts die damage.
01:03:38 Sorry, damage taken. Stoneskin for healer, Stoneskin 2 specifically, creates a barrier around self and all nearby party members. It's an old ability that I've actually missed. I used to play White Mage just for Stoneskin back in the day.
01:03:59 Melee DPS will have swift, increased movement speed for 4 seconds, granting immunity to various status effects and knockback draw-in effects. So that'll be really good with certain abilities that pull people in. It's a good declump. It's a good declump. I can see a lot of people using that.
01:04:29 Physical Range DPS will have Dervish? I think that's how it's pronounced. I believe so, yeah. I believe so. Reduces Cast and Recast Time for Weapon Skills and Spells for Self and Nearby Party Members while increasing Movement Speed. I like that one. Wow. I do too. And lastly Magic DPS will have Comet deals...
01:04:52 Damage to enemies near the point of impact cast time is required and can't be cancelled. Oh wow. Time that. Time that magical DPS. Counting on you. Yeah, I see chat talking about it too, but the only thing I could think of was like a plunge salted earth rampage coming in. Swift, hurry!
01:05:13 Ich finde, ich habe ein paar Counter- und Cross-Counter in diesem, weil ich sehe, wie du Rampage und Swift und ich möchte wissen, weil wir ein bisschen darüber gesprochen haben, ist, was wie du jetzt auf die Allianz kannst. So kann die Stoneskin, es ist bei selbst und Party-Members, aber wenn du eine Allianz-Members anstattest, würde es auf die Party-Members gehen?
01:05:35 Will it go on the other party's Stoneskin? I don't know. We're gonna find out when the patch comes out. But that would be really interesting. Because if you know that a specific group doesn't have a healer in their comp for that, that might be something you're able to do if they're super bursty. But I'm ready for the Rampage Salted Earth. Like Plunge Rampage Salted Earth.
01:05:56 Oder wenn jemand in die Stoneskin kommt, und dann kommt auf die Stoneskin 2, und dann schwitzt aus da? Ich fühle mich, dass es wirklich gut geht. Es ist wirklich, wirklich toll. All right, und dann geht's mal ein paar Sachen. Das ist die neue Frontline's map und so. Es fühlt sich eher öfters. Ich glaube, ich glaube nicht, ich bin insane. Ich könnte es erwarten, dass es mehr buildings waren, bevor.
Verbesserungen für Frontline Secure: Regeln, Buffs, Allegan Weaponry und Teleporter
01:06:24
01:06:24 I remember Sun Temple for some reason, right? Yeah, right? I feel like a lot of the time, too, how it was before, is as long as you had someone calling when the timers for nodes were, a lot of people would try and clump together, but not every party would have that. So I really liked that the video we saw earlier was counting down for those node spawns. That's really nice. For sure.
01:06:52 All right. Okyomi, did you actually want to go over this for the Borderlands Ruins Secure improvements? Yeah, let me go through it. So we have the basic rules. Up to 72 players will be divided into three teams of 24. So if you haven't, that's very similar to how it was before. We kind of have three teams.
01:07:12 Increase your team's tactical rating and be the first team to obtain the distance score. Tactical rating can be increased by the following ways. Occupying any of the nine key locations. So I believe those were the flags we saw, right? In the earlier video. Okay. Then battling against the Allegan Weaponry, which we also saw, that was kind of the middle area that we saw happening. Or defeating enemy players.
01:07:41 I remember back in the day that when people were going up to the middle, some would actually sneak around and try to steal the other key points, the nine key locations. Oh, yeah. I know I remember doing it as a ninja every now and then. Flip the towers. Oh, man. Yeah. Really, really cool. All right. Let's go ahead. We have more on this, too, if you want to go to the next page. Occupying the nine key locations. Did you want to go over this one as well? Sure.
01:08:10 So, any team can occupy a key location when they're the only team in its vicinity for a short period of time. Earlier in the video, we only saw just one player doing that, but it's just by having the only team in the vicinity. Tactical rating acquisition rate increases depending on the number of key locations occupied, so your goal is to secure as many of the nine as you can. Enemy teams' key locations can also be claimed. That's cool.
01:08:38 I can't wait. I'm so looking forward to this. Maybe we might even do it on stream, so... Oh, we 100% should. Yeah, I just need to be careful about knockbacks, because I feel like those are the most clippable moments that we'll have on a... Well, you know what? Now we're gonna have the swift counter, so if you are playing that, you can swift and avoid any kind... True. That is very true.
01:09:03 Yep, you can avoid various, granting immunity and knockback stackbacks. So Swift is for you, Aya. Yay. Yay. So the new key location buffs, Sheer Will. Ooh. Interesting. Key locations grant a massive damage buff to all players in their vicinity, regardless of the occupancy. I wonder if this will be randomized. So it kind of like circles people around the map?
01:09:30 Das wäre wirklich interessant. Wir werden sehen, wie das funktioniert. Ja, ich würde sagen, wenn es drei Teams gibt und es neige Punkte gibt, dann haben wir drei Punkte auf der Start-Side. Du hast ja, Mid-Left, und dann so... Aber wenn es das geht, dann ich hoffe, es geht. Weil es kind of challenges Leute zu move für das Buff, wenn sie wollen oder nicht. Ich eigentlich also wonder, weil du gesagt hast, drei...
01:09:57 Ja. Ja, wir werden sehen. Ich hoffe, dass das Sheer Will-Buff moves in diesem Bereich. Ich finde, es würde sehr interessant sein. Es ist eher wie die alten Seale-Rock, wo Teams würde target...
01:10:25 wie ein S-Rank oder ein höherer Tier. Aber es ist schön, dass wir jetzt buffen. Ja. Okay, so das war in der Video, die wir watched, mit den Towers, die du geholfen hast, hast du geholfen und Resolve. So, ich frage mich, ob du die Dämme, nachdem du es in die Towers, wo die Towers ist, du bist gut für die meisten. So, das ist ziemlich interessant, zu sehen, wie das wird. Oh, ja.
01:10:52 All right. Oh, yes. Battling against Allegan Weaponry. After a certain amount of time, Allegan Weaponry will appear at the center of the map, granting an opportunity to quickly raise your team's tactical rating.
01:11:05 Very cool. So, I will have to see when it comes out, but based on the video we saw earlier, it makes a lot of sense to me that, like, if this is raising it high, it's a risk-reward system. Because if you're taking damage, it incentivizes you to be very safe about doing it, but it's like, you know, if you die, like, or if someone else dies, just either to the PvE damage that's going out or, like, the incoming damage. I really like that, though, because I don't, we really haven't seen that in PvP.
01:11:34 We haven't seen a PvE encounter as well, so just as someone who does like to play Healer in PvP content as well, that's kind of an interesting incentive to have that too, especially at this time. Like save all your buffs for this, or mitigation. There's the Stoneskin 2 that you want me to read! It's Stoneskin 2 for this, that's the counter! For sure. Okay, and then is it okay if I move on to the next one? Is that cool? Yeah!
01:12:03 Go for it. Okay, and then now we're going to talk about teleporters, which are very, very new. So after a certain period of time, three teleporters on the outskirts will be accessible for immediate transportation to the center of the map. So that's really cool. You don't have to go up the ramps and stuff anymore and potentially get knocked off. You could just use this thing and take a one-way trip to the center. Very, very nice. I love this.
01:12:30 Ja, ich liebe es, ich liebe es auch. Und ich glaube, in der nächsten Seite, sie zeigen ihre Strategie Location. Ja, ich liebe das, weil es nicht nur in der Home Court ist. Es ist auf der Seite, so wie wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was wenn man, ich weiß, was man, ich weiß.
01:12:56 Can you just get kills that way and prevent them from going in? That's like a new meta-strategy. Like a gate guard or a teleporter guard? Yeah. Oh, okay. It doesn't really indicate that they're specific to your team, but like what if you go and, you know, you kind of guard off that? No, you're not going. I'm all about it. The strategy is going to come out when this launches. They're going to be really fun.
01:13:20 Ich liebe es, dass es bei den kleinen Locations, die Sie erwähnt haben. Ja, für einige, es gibt drei. Und ich bin mir, hm... Interessant, interessant. Oh, es wird so viel Spaß. Ich kann nicht warten. Ich bin so, so glücklich. Ja, es wird so großartig. Ich hoffe, wir werden es auf D.C.? D.C.? D.C., bitte? Oh, 1000%. Ich werde nicht mehr fragen. Wir werden es sicher. Okay. Okay.
Cosmic Exploration Details: Freischaltung, Inventar, Währungen und Mech Ops
01:13:45
01:13:45 So, let's talk about Cosmic Exploration a little bit more. We showed you guys videos and stuff about that, but let's go over this information. Minarine, would you actually like to go over this stuff? Sure, of course. So, in order to start Cosmic Exploration, it'll be unlocked by completing the main scenario quest Endwalker, and you can access it by a Disciple of Hand or Land level 10 or above. So, that's big.
01:14:12 This is awesome. A separate inventory available for cosmic exploration. Oh my gosh. Mic drop. That's amazing. So you're telling me that, you know, I don't have to because I remember I had a, I, I, when, when Ishgard Restoration came out and this as I'm using as a comparison, cause it's very similar. I dropped money for another retainer to keep. It is literally called Ishgard Restoration.
01:14:41 ...to keep my items in that would be approved to turn in. So you're telling me I don't have to do that? No. Oh my gosh. This is for you, Okuyomi. This is for you. Thank you! Alright. So I think we have more stuff that we could talk about this. So here are the currencies earned from missions. Actually, Minarine, why don't you go over this one as well? Sure. Of course. So there's going to be...
01:15:09 Two types of currencies that you can earn from these special missions from Cosmic Exploration, the Cosmo Credits for various rewards, and the Lunar Credits can be used to purchase Cosmic Fortunes, the lottery system that we saw in the video previously, earlier in the stream, and they can also be exchanged for a ticket to join the Mech Ops as well. That's really cool. That little mech thing that we saw earlier?
01:15:37 The thing that is supposedly not for combat, but very much looks like it's for combat. Amazing. Oh. Like this. Oh!
01:15:52 Really, really awesome. Ooh, Mech Ops. I think I should take this one. Yes, please. Oh, okay. Alrighty, so. For Mech Ops, they are regularly occurring large-scale operations comprised of Mech Pilots and Ground Support. The two groups coordinate on missions to gather minerals and remove obstacles. There are a few notes about this where...
01:16:18 Die Mech-Operationen werden auf die Tablet-Windows veröffentlicht und die Mech-Pilots und Support-Gruppen. Nur eine limitede Zahl der Mech-Operationen werden als Mech-Operationen werden. Und wenn viele Leute applyen, um die Pilot zu sein, dann wird es bei der Lottery wählen. Das ist wo die Ticket kommt, von der vorhanden Seite. Wenn Sie die Lottery verlieren, dann wird die Ticket refundet.
01:16:47 If you do lose, you will have an increase in odds for the next time you apply to be a mech operator. That's cool.
01:16:59 Ja, das ist wirklich schön, speziell weil wir das in den letzten Contenten haben, die ein ähnliches System hatten. Wenn ihr die Böja-Southern-Front mit den Kritikal-Engagungen habt. Oh ja, du könntest kaufen für das, oder? Du könntest, ja. Und das war ein Achievement, welches ich würde sagen, dass es vielleicht ein Achievement für das ist, aber es wird auch schwierig sein, wenn man 100 Leute oder mehr in der Instanz hat, alle zu bekommen.
01:17:27 um if they wanted it like the critical engagement so like having it where you kind of have a pity system where it's like you know you go and you maybe you put the max amount of points but you don't get selected just because maybe there's 50 people who apply right i think that's a really good thing so like i would always just if you have the funds for it and you're looking to do that i would always put in the the buy for sure for sure it's really cool though i'm really looking forward to all this stuff and what i do like about it is that like i've
01:17:53 Wir haben gesehen, dass das hier nur nur so gespielt wird, wenn du so möchtest. Und da gibt es eine Cosmos Sprint, wo man kann indefiniert werden, aber das könnte eigentlich anders sein werden, in unserer Version. A Cosmos Sprint? Ich hoffe, es heißt Moonwalking. Das wäre lustig, wenn wir einfach nur aufhören und einfach glühen. Das wäre wirklich, wirklich lustig.
01:18:19 Oh, and then gameplay starts with one of the gear rewards being a spacesuit-looking glamour. That's cool. Oh, yes. We shot that last stream, didn't we? Oh, I think the LL recap. Yeah. Oh, there was more about mech ops? I'm so sorry. Oh, no. I think I did go over some of this, yeah. Perfect, perfect. Oh, yeah, and then this is for the critical missions. Right, right, right. And I think...
Cosmic Exploration: Kritische Missionen, Leaderboard und Star Contributor Awards
01:18:47
01:18:47 Uh, Meenerain, why don't you go ahead and take this one, too? Sure. So, for critical missions, on occasion, there are going to be unusual weather phenomena occurring, causing a red alert, so players must band together to complete designated objectives within a limited amount of time. That's cool. You get, like, bonus rewards from this, right? Yeah. I feel, yeah. Yes, you do.
01:19:13 Awesome. Reminds me of the Fets from Ishgard Restoration as well. Yeah. The Firmament. For sure. We're not doing the giveaway right now, you guys. And even if we were, that's not the key word. So you guys can stop doing that.
01:19:35 Ja, ich meine, ihr könnt gerne gehen, wenn ihr wollt, aber es wird nicht tun. Es wird nicht tun, wir sorry. Es ist sehr schön, dass ihr euch versucht, aber ja. Amazing. Ja. So, wir gehen jetzt weiter zu anderen Sachen, die wir können über Cosmic Exploration zeigen.
01:19:58 I think this is the leaderboard. Yeah. That's kind of cool. Very, very awesome. Okuyomi, did you want to go ahead and go over this one? Yeah, we can totally go over the Star Contributor Awards. So Scanningway will tally each player's level of contribution to the Cosmic Exploration Initiative every other Earth time.
01:20:25 So we have a tally period that's going to be 24 hours. Then we're going to have a rest period of 24 hours. And then we're going to have another tally period and then a rest period. So it's going to alternate every single day. And then the daily reset timing is going to be shown, which we have. So it's going to be universal. But for if you're in PDT, that's 2 a.m. So I think what? That's EDT. That's three hours ahead. So 2, 3, 4, 5. So 5 a.m.
01:20:53 Wenn du in Europa mit einem GMT bist, wird es 9.00 Uhr. Wenn du in Australien bist, wird es 20.00 Uhr? 8.00 Uhr. Ja, 8.00 Uhr. Und dann 18.JST wird es 6.00 Uhr. So, dass du das Zeit hast, wenn du das Star-Contributor bist. Das war ein cooles Buff, dass wir in einem Video gesehen haben, mit den kleinen Planeten um dich herum.
01:21:23 Very, very cool. Yeah, can you go to the next slide? I think we have a little bit more on the Stark contributor.
01:21:34 By completing cosmic exploration activities within a tally period, it will increase your level of contribution. Introspect of the class used. Oh, okay. Irrespect of the class used. The player who contributed to the most within the 24-hour period will be awarded the status of the star contributor immediately following the tally period. Yay, let's go.
01:22:02 Awesome. This is very reminiscent of Ishgard Esturation. We got even more. You can review the level of your contribution by speaking with Scanningway. Oh, look at that little talking about it. That's astounding. You're going to be our star contributor. Not only that, but we have another section on the star contributor. Sounds good to me.
01:22:33 So for 14 days, the following will apply to the star contributor. You're going to have a hologram of them will be projected within the base camps. Their name will be displayed on a bulletin board within the base camps. And a visual effect will be a...
01:22:47 Ja, für sicher.
01:23:13 All right, I think that was, oh, we still have more for Cosmic Exploration. So we can show this off too. Oh yeah. We have the new tool enhancement quest for the Cosmic Tool. Awesome. Uh-huh. We also have players can earn Cosmic Tools for the Discipline of Hand or Discipline of Land immediately from the start of Cosmic Exploration. So if you don't remember earlier, that was in 7.21.
01:23:44 Very, very nice. I think we actually even have more kind of on the tool enhancement as well. Even when not equipped, players can enhance cosmic tools, increasing their item level by simply progressing through the missions. That's actually, I really like that, because if I recall...
01:24:07 I'm trying to remember what tier this was, but there was a, it was when we first got like the Mastercrafts and the tools themselves, like I remember doing this, didn't have the CP that some of our other tools did and we couldn't meld to them. So it made it very difficult. Like, you know, you wanted to get credit on that like tool, but it made it like a very difficult.
01:24:27 Ich habe jetzt meine Melds zu ändern und alles. Ich hoffe, dass das das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um das, um, um...
01:24:41 While you're going through this, that's probably better melded if you're a very dedicated crafter-gatherer. So I really like this. The same happened with GP. You might meld very specifically, so you hit your tiers when you're doing either Ethereal or something like that, but when you're going and trying to get these cosmetic tools, which a lot of players do for the final end, they look shiny, they look cool, right? But they might not be statted as well, so I really like that. Sure. Alright.
Cosmic Exploration Details
01:25:1101:25:11 Oh, did we want to talk about how the rest of Cosmic Exploration will affect worlds and stuff? We mentioned a little bit about this earlier, so. Did you want to go over this as well, Okuyomi? Yeah.
01:25:27 So the worlds that these are going to take place on for the Cosmic Exploration, development of star progress is separated by the world that you're on. And then your exploration and your survey of a star can only be performed on your home world. So unfortunately, you cannot go over to, you know, a different world to go progress that. But the star contributors are selected for your world. So make sure that you're participating on that world if you want to go and aim for that. It's really cool. So remember when we were talking about those like,
01:25:56 I was about to say hieroglyphics those. What do you call it? Oh my gosh. What am I trying? What's the word I'm trying to get? Projections. Projections? Yeah. The holograms? Holograms. That's it. Of your character. And you can go ahead and pose them any which way that you would like as well. So people know.
01:26:18 Das ist wirklich cool. Ja, das ist cool. All right. Und dann hier ist die Update Schedule. So, be sure to check out different new Stars in every new Major Patch coming up. This is really... I like this a lot.
01:26:39 So you could be a Star Contributor on the Moon, but then you might get a chance to do something else in 7.3. Or even 7.4. Or even 7.5. I think this is... I personally really like this because I know that we saw a lot of feedback when it came to Ishgard Restoration. Because I think we only had three of those, right? Wasn't there only three tiers, if I recall? Am I remembering? Yeah, so this is nice that it's now spread out over the patches. I know we kind of had that, but...
01:27:08 Ich persönlich wirklich mag das. Das ist so cool. Und jetzt haben wir uns gefragt, was es wird es sein? Was wollen wir es sein, Chat? Wenn wir die Moon haben, was wir gehen? Ich weiß nicht, was wir in Ultima Thule gehen? Was ist eine andere? Was ist ein Lavaplanet? Ich will ein Lavaplanet und ein Lavaplanet.
01:27:36 I'm just checking out to see what Chad is talking about. The sun. Might be a little too hot to handle, I feel like. A planet of light. Oh my gosh, the warrior of light meets the planet of light. Let's go.
01:27:57 Oh my gosh, Talamud, no! That would be kind of cool, like remnants of it, right? Well, what if there's like, because isn't there, what about the dragon planet? Oh! Oh, yeah, right? Like the dragons. Like the ones that we heard about from like Storm? Yeah. Right?
01:28:18 Ja, und die Planeten, wir sahen sie in den finalen Dungeon von Endwalker. Da waren alle die Battles, wenn man die Schläge auf die Schläge geht. Das ist der Homeworld. Oh mein Gott. Das wäre Spaß. Ja, die Dead Ends brauchen. Oh, no! Du hast die Restore!
01:28:42 Oh, man. Es ist einfach so, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier, ich bin hier.
01:28:54 All right. Craft and Cry. Yeah. I think we've pretty much talked all there is to talk about. We've got cosmic exploration, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think we're moving on now, right? Yes. Occult Crescent stuff is, I think, the last leg of the things that we need to go over. So shall we go ahead and do that? Yes. All right.
Occult Crescent in Patch 7.25
01:29:21
01:29:21 Let's go ahead and get started. Minarine, would you like to start us off for Occult Crescent happening in Patch 7.25? Sure, of course. So the Occult Crescent will be available in Patch 7.25. And to start the instance, you can unlock it by completing the main scenario quest Dawn Trail. And to enter, players must have a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic at level 100. Interesting.
01:29:50 Oh ja, wir können über Entry jetzt sprechen. Ja, Entry. Okay, so rather than using the Duty Finder, players must speak with a designated NPC to enter, similar to Eureka and Bozja. And the Occult Crescent is split up into instances, with up to 72 players to join a single instance. And when you're in a party, the whole party will join your same instance. Very nice.
01:30:19 Das ist perfekt, weil ich das war, wie in Eureka, vorher. Right. Sehr, sehr cool. Let's talk about Knowledge Levels. Sure. Knowledge Levels ist ein separate Leveling System, die in der Occult Crescent und die Unterschiede zwischen dem Level und dem, die der Enemies, will greatly影響 die Damage dealt und taken, und aufgrund der Incapacität.
01:30:44 In der Knowledge Level 5 und above, you will lose experience points when not revived by another player, and losing too many experience points will result in lowering your level. Oh, that's interesting. Let me go ahead and see if I can... You know, when it comes to Knowledge Level, there was a specific point that I really liked that they brought up. So even at Knowledge Level 1, you can go and try to unlock all the teleports if you want. Like, they're not locked behind any, like...
01:31:14 um quest progression or for any walls like that. So, do you really just wanna, what do you call it?
01:31:22 Wenn du wirklich einfach nur die Eureka gehst, dann würde ich das machen. Ich bin froh, dass sie das gemacht haben. Es ist definitiv interessant, weil wenn du durch die Eureka-Serie bist, die Eureka-Serie waren gated. Da gab es sehr spezifisch gated. Ja. Pagos ist das mit...
01:31:46 Arthos, alle würden sagen, du musst du 16, 21 oder 16, ich kann nicht erinnern, bevor du da bist. Und so, was würde passieren, dass alle würden zu der Fete gehen und dann können sie nicht gehen, weil sie nicht umlaufen können. Und es fühlt wirklich schlecht, so das ist wirklich interessant. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir noch andere Dinge haben, wie Sleeping Dragons, zu preventen uns, aber wir sehen.
01:32:11 Ich glaube, das ist wirklich cool, von einem self-exploration kind of mechanic. Also, wenn es mehr mechanics gibt, dass man sich da in andere Weise verändern kann, aber es gibt einen Weg zu circumventen. Das wäre wirklich cool. Die flashbacks, wenn du gesagt hast, sleeping dragons. Ich hoffe, das nicht bringen PDAD. Ich habe es versucht, um, PDAD zu machen. Ich habe es versucht, um...
01:32:38 I think we can talk about more. Meena Rain, why don't we talk about battles on the Occult Crescent? How about that? Sure. So the higher The Fiend's Knowledge Level is above yours, the harder it will be to defeat, but the rewards will be greater for the challenge. So it does encourage a little bit of challenge here. So hopefully I'll have other party members here to help me out. Yeah.
01:33:07 Und hoffentlich ein guter Produkt mit den Phantom Job actions, auch. In case I do go so low. Yes. Is there another slide? These ones talk about XP Chains, so... Alrighty, so Experience Chains. Defeating high-ranked enemies with this symbol in quick succession will initiate an Experience Chain, granting the increased rewards.
Experience Chains und Knowledge Level Sync im Occult Crescent
01:33:35
01:33:35 Recommended to form a party quickly to defeat enemies and initiate these chains. Really awesome. I feel like me and Danielle are very familiar with this kind of concept when it comes to chains. I mean, it's still a thing in XIV, but I guess it's not as prevalent in XIV as it is in a certain other fantastic MMORPG we like to call Final Fantasy XI.
01:34:02 You may have heard of it from the end. Maybe. Echo Savannah, do you? I really love this mechanic. This was in Eureka. It actually was in Eureka. It also was in Boja. But what I really hope occurs is that this spawn rate...
01:34:24 von den Critical Engagements und den anderen... Ich weiß nicht, was ihr Erfahrungen ist, aber meine Erfahrungen ist, dass die Partei zu eXp-chainen, aber die Anzahl der Critical Engagements oder Engagements, die Spannung war fast so schnell, dass es nicht... Das Mechanik war fast nicht. Hatte du das Erfahrungen gehabt? Weil du würde das ganze Zeit gehen würde. Du würde das ganze Zeit gehen bis zum nächsten Critical Engagements.
01:34:49 Ja, ich habe sicher, dass du dein Ex-P-Chain für dein Level warst. Und dann würde es einfach nur ein Minutes geben. Also, es war nicht wert. Also, ich hoffe, dass es sehr gut ist. Ich liebe das System. Ich bin mit ihr, Aya. Ich liebe das System in XI. Aber ich hoffe, es hat einen hohen Vorteil. Oder vielleicht sehen wir etwas mit den Relik Weapons. Das wäre cool. Ja, ich weiß für sicher, dass es dann, um...
01:35:17 Ich weiß, das war in Bozja, aber es gab bestimmte Partys für bestimmte Dinge zu tun. Es ist wie, alle criticalen Engagements und focussenz auf Leveling oder Gathering etwas. So, ich weiß, ob das was das, was das für. Ja, und wir noch nicht wissen, wie Phantom Jobs wird. Das ist etwas, was wir noch nicht entstanden. So, vielleicht...
01:35:42 Was ist wirklich cool für diejenigen, die nicht durch eine Diadem oder... nicht eine Diadem, sorry, eine Eureka oder eine Boja? Eureka hatte viel Community-Self-Discovery, wenn man durch das. Und es war immer für die ersten paar Tage... Wann Pan-Zuzu, wie du Spawn Pan-Zuzu spazierst? Was sind die Spawn-Rate für solche Sachen? Ich hoffe, dass es nicht wirklich touchiert ist. Wir werden sehen, wenn es live wird.
01:36:07 Vielleicht müssen wir ein bestimmtes Chains machen. Ich denke, das ist immer sehr gut zu sehen. Oh, ich liebe es. Ja, gib es ein Go! See, was passiert. Vielleicht gibt es einen hohen Vorteil für das. Ich hoffe so, zumindest.
01:36:21 All right. Ooh, Knowledge Level Sync. Minarine, would you like to talk about that next? Of course. So if all members of a party are within three Knowledge Levels of each other, the party will be designated a balanced party eligible for experienced teams. If a member is four or more levels apart, the players may sync the party's Knowledge to become a balanced party. Amazing.
01:36:48 I love that. Level sink? Level sink? Oh my gosh. It's here. It's in 14. Our 11th thing is in 14. This is awesome. I love this. I can't wait for this. That's going to be so good.
01:37:05 I wonder if there's gonna be a scenario where people just like try to find lower levels just so that they could get EXP at like a bottom. Probably. Oh gosh. If there's like an optimal spot. Yeah, and I see, I see chat and the return of Valcrum Dunes. Dun, dun, dun. No. Looking for level 11. Looking for level 11 to level sink, please. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Killing Dune Bats. That's gonna be the meta. You see Batsaya, that's where we're going.
01:37:35 Oh, gosh. I really, uh...
01:37:40 Well, those bats, at least. Any other kind of bats, I'm open to seeing what's in store. Is it Alt-Ruin? What was that boss's name? Rune-Alt? I can't remember. It's Rune-Alt or Alt-Ruin. It's like the mount. Oh my gosh, I need to look this up now. Ooh, wait. So there's fates that occur also around the isle, and they can be challenged by even a small number of players. And obviously with fates that happen outside of the Occult Crescent.
01:38:08 um players may also join a fate that has already been started so really really cool yeah see this is what i was talking about i've always felt like they would spawn so fast that even if i was in an exp party i was just always running to a fake
01:38:24 We eventually get a mount, right? So hopefully that helps. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I think this is about critical encounters. Yep. All right. Minarine, would you like to go over this? I'm so sorry. You're good. Critical encounters are large scale battles against powerful bosses with no restrictions on the number of players that can participate. Where and when these encounters occur will be displayed on the map beforehand. Very nice.
01:38:51 There's a note here, they'll start with all players standing within the designated area. Very nice. That's good to know.
Forked Tower, Treasure und Währungen im Occult Crescent
01:39:00
01:39:00 Very, very happy about that. Okay. Um, yeah, I think we can move on to something that, uh, I was excited to see. But, uh, Forked Tower? Yes, let's go. Mineraine, would you do the honors? Of course. Up to 48 players can challenge this dungeon featuring numerous bosses, and players must use a special item to gain entry. I wonder what that item is. Um, and, um, here...
01:39:28 The enemies within the Forged Tower are going to feel like boss encounters. So they're rumored, they're said to be quite difficult. Awesome. And to gain access to the tower as they explore the Isle, players can acquire ciphers. When 16 or more players use these ciphers at a designated location, an ethereal node will activate, teleporting them into the tower's halls after a brief period of time.
01:39:57 And should more than 48 players be standing on the ethereal node, players will be randomly selected for teleportation. Those who use the cipher will have a higher chance of being selected. Interesting, interesting.
01:40:14 Oh, right. There was a couple notes about the Forked Tower. Yoshida-san was saying that the boss mechanics were really fun and there's a lot of hidden rooms in the Forked Tower, so recommends exploring if you can. Awesome. Ooh, wait, it says here there are resurrection restrictions, but phantom jobs can resurrect players with their phantom abilities. Ooh. Yeah, similar to BA, but...
01:40:43 So, like, only certain Jobs could have, if they had Resurrection selected, like, with their wheel, or they had their Logos action set, like, you only had a certain amount of uses, so I guess we'll have to see how those Phantom Jobs play out. And if they're unlocked, we won't know, like, which ones have it yet, right?
01:41:01 Yeah, I'm really excited for this because I think Yoshida was also saying how the boss mechanics are going to be really fun and that there are a ton of hidden rooms. So I feel like a lot of people are just going to be doing this over and over. I wonder if it will be like... Why am I blanking on the name?
01:41:22 Where you had to go through the different story modes with the Sultana. What is that content? Criterion and Variant. Yes, how you had different room unlocks and stuff. I wonder if it will be similar to that. I know BA kind of had, like a Baldessian Arsenal from Eureka sort of had some... There's really only one part with the elemental rooms, but...
01:41:50 It'll be interesting to see how many hidden rooms there are. Very, very excited. All right. But now let's talk about Treasure in the Wild. I'm excited for this. Is it okay if I go over this one? Yeah, go for it. All right. Should you happen upon any treasure chest while traversing the wilds, the spoils are for you to keep. So feel free to open any that you find.
01:42:20 Ich bin also wundern, ob es sich da werden, wenn es möglich ist. Aber wir werden sehen.
01:42:29 Oh, so these are kind of like the bunnies, right? They are like the bunnies, yeah, the bunnies and the carrots. I miss offering elixirs to the magic pot and... Little sun minion. This little sun minion. Yeah. Glad they brought that back. Awesome. All right. Ooh.
01:42:57 Oh, it'll give you prompts and stuff for where the treasure might be. Yeah, really similar to the bunnies. Awesome. Ooh, currencies earned during exploration.
01:43:11 Would you like to go over this one, Meenerine? Sure. So, the Enlightenment silver pieces will be acquired through Fates and Critical Encounters, and the Enlightenment gold pieces will be acquired through defeating monsters in the wild. Awesome. Okay, this gives me hope, because, you know, I don't know what will be able to be bought with silver, and I don't know what will be able to be bought with gold. But gold is higher than silver, typically.
01:43:39 And if they're favoring gold on the enemies, then maybe we'll get our EXP chain parties, okay? Like, I just want to be able to shout for them. I'm ready. I'm all about it. Ooh. All right. So we're going to be talking about the Occult Crescent update schedule, so...
01:44:00 Here's how it's going to look. So things are going to start off in patch 7.25. There is a note, you might have noticed just looking at this, but patch 7.3 is skipped because there's a new deep dungeon coming during that patch. So, you know, something to keep in mind. So if you're wondering like, oh, why are they skipping 7.3? That is the reason why. So.
01:44:28 All right. Yeah, I think that is pretty much it. But yeah, in Patch 7.25, Cult Crescent releases Patch 7.4, new phantom jobs. And in Patch 7.5X, I should be saying the X behind those things, new areas and new phantom jobs. I really like it. Yeah, I'm super excited for this. I think this is a really good way to... I mean, honestly, I think...
01:44:58 Boja und Eureka waren ziemlich aktiv durch die Konsecutive Patchen, weil es etwas, was die Spieler immer aufzunehmen können. Aber ich mag wirklich, dass die Incentive erinnert.
01:45:14 Es ist nicht so, dass du die Phantom Jobs kannst und du kannst, aber es gibt eine neue Phantom Job, die die Play-Style adhieren und du willst, das ist wirklich cool. Ja. Great. Okay. So, wir sehen uns, ob es noch etwas gibt. Um, you know, bevor wir in der Patch 7.2-Schedule gehen, ich möchte zurückgehen.
01:45:44 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
01:46:13 So, as per usual, we're going to stay silent. I mean, we're going to stay silent. The videos will stay silent as we showcase these. But yeah, let's go over the first set that they're showing off. Which is really, really cool.
Glamour Sets und Patch 7.2 Schedule
01:46:31
01:46:31 I recognize it if you played classic FF titles. Might be really cool. It's a cute glam. And then next up we have this one as well.
01:46:51 Fancy glam, look at that. Look at that pop collar. I have a weakness for those kinds of things. They look so cool. Alright, and then next up. I really like that poltron. Look at that.
01:47:18 Some people are mentioning every single recognizable character. Very, very amazing. Give me. I need it. I want it. We haven't heard anything, but this goes with my Beastmaster looking. I'm going to get this. Oh my gosh. Look at it.
01:47:40 It's so poofy and fluffy! I know, the ears! I feel like you're gonna have such a great time. Oh my gosh, yes. Yeah, these are really, really cool. Look at the boots! The boots with the fur! And the poofy little toes. Super cute. I know! It's like little wolf-o toes, dog-o toes. Alright.
01:48:05 Next up, I believe we have two more sets to show off. So this looks really cool.
01:48:17 Look at that. So formal. Very pirate, very Corsair-ish. Aya, what if Corsair is a phantom job? I mean, you already know I'm going to play it, so. Yeah. All right, and then we have one last set to show. Well, two sets technically, but the last set Yoshida didn't mention exactly where it's from, so. Look at that. That hat. Party time.
01:48:47 Ja, das ist toll. Das ist toll. Ich glaube, wir sah das mit der koreanischen Version. Ich denke so.
01:49:13 That's really cool, though. I believe some people were very focused on the back of this piece, if I don't recall. I don't think they show it in the PLL, but you might be able to find some of the pictures being shown around from the Korean client. Yeah, but those first, I believe, first six that were shown off were like, I think they are related to Occult Crescent, so please keep an eye out for that kind of stuff. All right.
01:49:42 um excuse me but i think now okay we went over the schedule
01:49:51 All right, so we're going to go over the schedule for patch, the 7.2X releases. So as it was stated at the beginning of the stream, March 25th on a Tuesday is when patch 7.2 will release. And then right one week right after that, it is Savage Time in the Arcadian with the cruiser weight tier. So that's going to be a lot of fun. And then in 7.21,
01:50:18 um happening over on april 22nd is the cosmic exploration and in patch 7.25 which will be happening on may 27th we're gonna finally get a cult crescent and uh new allied society quest with mamulja and inconceivably further hildebrand adventures so a lot of cool stuff to look forward to i'm really excited it's gonna be a great time
01:50:45 Ja, es ist wirklich schön, dass wir das Schedule 2 haben, und wir können ein bisschen space-out planen, wie wir unsere große Patchen spielen können. Wir können das Content dropen. Ja, ich kann es warten für das nächste Tier. Oh, also, ich weiß, dass ich nicht eigentlich erwähnt es. Ich wollte das zu erwähnen, aber für diejenigen, die warten für die Krystalline Konflikt Community Cup,
01:51:12 So all of that is going to be, the brackets are going to be showcased to all of you on March 31st. So if you are looking forward to that, please make sure to keep an eye out. That's when we're going to start sending out invitations to people so that we can get everything situated. The seating and all that stuff is also going to happen. So please keep that in mind. It's going to be awesome. We'll have a great time.
01:51:39 Es gibt noch andere Dinge, die wir nicht hatten, um zu reden. Aber es ist einfach... Oh, wait, no. Es gibt noch mehr Dinge, die ich möchte, wenn es okay ist. Weil sie in der Live-Letter sind, und wir haben nicht wirklich eine Chance, um sie zu zeigen. So, ich werde nur slowly... Bring this, und dann...
01:52:06 I just want to see some cool minions and stuff and mounts that they showed off during PLL. So here we go. So this is one of the first ones. Cute dog. Very, very cute. I like it. It's a beagle! It's so cute. I like it.
01:52:35 Oh, and then there's like another one that they showcased as well. This one, I don't know where it's from. I'm so curious about it. What is it? I don't know. It's very cute. Does it have mittens? I like its angry face. Its perpetually angry looking face. Is it a bird? I don't think it's a bird. It looks like an angry bird.
01:53:08 Oh no, when they zoomed in, it looked like, before they zoomed in, it looked like a turtle, but it's not. And here we have some more. See, I thought this was some kind of bird, but it's not flying, and it's just kind of like waddling around. What is it? I don't know, but I want it. It looks a fish? Fish with legs? A flying fish? A flying heartfish? That's cute.
01:53:39 It's got pants! And legs! It's leg day. It's gotta be. It's gotta do a leg pose. Oh man. Okay, we got a dove. Okay. Cute. I don't think that's a dove. What is it? It has to be. The beak is different than a dove, right? A sparrow?
01:54:08 Unsure, Unsure. I want this. Just look at this. Cute. Oh, it just lands on your head. Oh, no. So cute. I have like an affinity for bird minions in this game. They're so cute. Fantastic. All right. And then this last one.
01:54:36 Very cute. Very small. Seeking the peace of reason.
01:54:48 I love the way that it moves with you. So cute. Aww, yeah, look at it. Oh, and I believe this is the last minion that they showcased also. Cute. I feel like this might be a cosmic exploration thing, right? It's gotta be. Look at it, it's got a little face. Look at the little face. That's so cute.
01:55:11 All right, and that was the last minion, so now we're going to showcase the mounts that are going to be available during the 7.2x era. Demon wall brick thing. You can see the little legs of Yoshida-san's Lollafell. Super funny.
01:55:40 I can't wait. All I can think about is, like, how do you drive this thing? I feel like this is one of those mounts that you have to have a very specific, like, uh, feet glam for. Oh, that'd be hilarious. Your little gripper is hanging out right there, like, go on, go on. I can't wait to see, you remember the fluffy feet from the Occult CrossFit? Yes! Oh gosh, that's gonna be awesome.
01:56:11 Oh, big fan. Big, big fan. I can't wait for this mount. I can't wait to see the kinds of things that players wear when they use it. The next mount that they have is something from Solution 9, which is very, very cool. Very stylish. I love this. Ugh.
01:56:39 Look at that visual effect too. That's so nice. It's like satisfying almost. That's gotta be the new MGP. How much do you think it's gonna cost? I hope it's not gonna be 4 million like that other. It'll probably be 5 million. I mean, that's a brand new car.
01:57:00 All right. For a new flying car. And for this, I don't, this one is probably not for combat use, but you can get your own, which is very cute. I wonder if there's going to be, for sure. I wonder if there's going to be like a gold version of this one. That'd be cool. Although I'd rather have a gold version of the car. Ooh.
01:57:25 Like a Gill automobile? Just hear me out, Yoshida, I'm gonna make one request, please. Okay, what's the... It's 25 million for the most expensive mount right now, the gold mounts, right? Okay, hear me up. 100 mil, make it four-seater and make it gold. Everyone would get your... The Gill, you know, we would have an economic Eorzean crisis on our hands with that. This is really cool. Just a very, very nice airship. It looks like it'll...
01:57:54 Ich kann es nicht mehr als eine Person sein, aber ich bin nicht sicher. Es sieht aus wie es ... es kann. Oh ja, das ist wirklich cool. Ja, ich mag es viel.
01:58:11 I think it kind of reminds me of like the, I think Sid made us something. I think during Heavensward era, the Slipstream. The Mana Cutter? Oh, Slipstream. No, no, no. I think you're right. I think you're right. I, you know, honestly. The Mana Cutter was the Collector's Edition. I think the Mana Clipper was the Collector's Edition. Oh, my gosh, my gosh. I think, yeah.
01:58:33 I thought this was funny because there's nothing holding the Lalafell up on the side. They're just stuck to the wheel. It's so good. Yeah. Hanging on for dear life. And then this is going to be the last mount that we show off. I need it. I need it so badly. I want it. I want it so much. It looks so good. Yeah.
01:59:04 Oh, die Weapon. So, ist das ein Trick? Interessant. Ja, das sieht so aus. Ja, das sieht so aus. Right? Ja, das ist definitiv der Exploitte. Ja. Ja. Es muss sein.
01:59:23 Very, very cool. Yeah, super cool. And you know, speaking of stuff that we missed out on showing, there is one armor set that I, what's it called, that we totally just like did not go over. So let me go ahead and showcase those real quick. As usual, we could just like talk over them and such. But this one is the Tome equipment sets, I believe. So this one is for Fending, first off.
01:59:55 Oh, Fantasy in my Final Fantasy XIV game? Really, really awesome. I know for sure I might just Tome Grind just because I want these sets. They look so good. Next up is Maiming.
02:00:18 I love the set so much. It looks so good. Look at the cape. I'm about the cape. Me too. Next up is Striking. This looks so cool. I really like the gloves and I really like the boots, me personally. Nice, yeah. Alright, next up we have Aiming.
02:00:47 Just keep pointing towards Corsair with these outfit sets, Okuyomi. I don't know if I can handle it. I need that set. I like the hat! The hat! So good. To be fair though, the boots' silhouette are on point. I'm liking the inspiration on this, yeah. It gives off a very nice silhouette. This is for scouting. I'll take it. Look at that belt.
02:01:15 So big, yet so functional. All right, and the next up we have Healers. I love this set so much. It is so cute. I can't wait to go ahead. So cute. All right, and then last, but definitely not the least, we have Caster.
02:01:47 Aw! Ich habe eine Böhe, auch! Sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
Merchandise, Kollaborationen und Events
02:01:56
02:01:56 Yeah, that was all of the things that we wanted to go ahead and showcase to y'all, just to make sure that we have everything that they've shown off in the live letter. But now we're going to just do some miscellaneous announcements, if that's okay. So Reinerine, would you like to go over the merchandise one? Sure, of course. So we are announcing new merchandise, including loungewear, hairbands, totes, and more. Lineup will vary by region, so go ahead and check your region's website.
02:02:25 The release date will be March 31st for Japan and for North America and Europe. It will be announced soon. And there is a pop-up shop in Japan, Don Quixote. Okay. The items will debut in participating stores. Further details will be announced via the Lodestone. Scheduled from March 29th, Saturday, March 29th through Wednesday.
02:02:53 April 30th, Wall Supplies West. Yep, yep. All right. That's really cool. I think they wore some of that stuff on the live letter, right? Like the headband and everything like that? I believe they had it, yes. Why don't you go over this one as well, Minarine? Of course, yes. And so there is a collaboration between Final Fantasy XIV and Novel Keys for a collaboration keyboard, keycaps, and desk pads.
02:03:20 Pre-orders are now open for the Final Fantasy XIV Edition Classic 10 Keyless Keyboard. Fully pre-built custom mechanical keyboard. And there's also keycaps available if you already have a keyboard. Awesome. Those custom keycaps are so cute. Escape is a volmsnack! A volmsnack! Nom nom nom nom nom.
02:03:48 All right. Oh. And then this one is a Japan-specific one. It's a new collaboration item that will become available by Isetan. And some samples will be available and sales will begin at the Shinjuku location starting April 1st. Or until April 1st, I should say. Starts on March 26th. All right. Ooh. And then also for Japan, new line stickers are going to be available, including 40 new ones.
02:04:17 Featuring minions, mascots, and more. Really cool.
02:04:22 Oh, and Okuyomi, would you like to go over this one about the Primals? Yep, there's going to be the Primals Dark Descent Tour. So they've been around for seven years now? That's crazy. Crazy. I know, I was just saying the same thing. So they're going to be back for another live tour in Japan. They're going to be accepting pre-orders for merchandising and play our first round of Ticket Lottery.
02:04:51 So, if you would like to check out the first round of Ticket Lottery registration, that's gonna be actually tomorrow. But again, this is for the tour in Japan. And then also you can check out the merchandising, which will be available for pre-orders until Wednesday, April 16th. All right. Ooh, and if you didn't know it already, this is going on for about four more days. The Final Fantasy XIV and Inst...
02:05:21 Instax? Screenshot sweepstakes. So they're doing a collab. And everybody gets it. Or has it already. You don't have to do anything special. Other than just typing in slash photograph. So make sure to check out that campaign. Get involved and see if you can win something really, really cute. Yeah. Alright. And that's going to be up until Sunday, March 23rd.
02:05:50 All right. Ooh. And this is for anybody who's interested in working on the FFXIV team. Have you ever wanted to work on Final Fantasy XIV? Well, the European Community Team and Communications Team are recruiting for the following positions. So if any of this pertains to you, since sometimes we do have viewers from other regions checking our streams out, then please make sure to keep this in mind.
02:06:18 Oh, and then I believe this is the last thing, but there is going to be a patch 7.2 note reading and that's going to be for Monday, March 24th. And please keep in mind that the audio will be in Japanese only. And I believe that's it, right?
02:06:38 Yep, we have a lot to get hyped for. But that's not it for the Duty Commence stream. Because we have Community Combination! That is very true. Let me go ahead and get that set up really quick. Alright. Okay, I think we're ready to go. So just give me a second. And then let me... Are you both ready to get started?
02:07:03 I'm ready. Okay. Oh, Meenerine's like, I've been ready. All right, here we go.
Community Commendations
02:07:13
02:07:13 So let's go ahead and get started. And Minarine, would you mind kicking us off, please? Of course. So here we have Reddit user SeatLonely373, also known as Anju Kamiya, from Midgard Sommer. And it's a tea party to celebrate their clear of the Epic of Alexander. A tea party for tea? Get it? Yeah. Get it? My gosh. Fantastic. I love it. And look who's their chef for the day.
02:07:41 Can I, oh my gosh, it's Alexander. Can I say something really quickly that the colors for the cupcakes and the macarons are Nisi colors? Oh, dude. Can we talk about this?
02:07:58 Das ist unglaublich. Ich liebe all die Details, die sie in das. Es ist ein LOT von Detail. Das ist unglaublich. Ja, ich liebe dass sie alle die Weapons haben, auch. Ist die Lollefeld einfach so, um die Lollefeld zu werden? Das ist unglaublich, ich liebe es so viel.
02:08:15 I like the one here that's just like, thank goodness we're done. You're right. I love them so much. Hold on. Was that the war? I'm trying to see you. Is that the warrior? Hold on. No, the warrior I think is at the very right. Drinking tea? Oh god. Who did that have to be? Someone. Looks like a gun. Oh yeah, well it had to have been the tank.
02:08:46 Okay, I think we're going to go on and move on to the next one, if that's okay. Thank you so much for submitting this piece. Thank you, thank you. All right, Okieomi, who do we have next? Next up, we have Maiko Lagoon from Crack Jar. Awesome. Oh my gosh. I love the color choice. Oh my gosh, it gives so much, like, just
02:09:17 We also have another piece by this artist as well, too. So I'm going to go ahead and move on to it real quick, if that's okay. Oh, please, please.
02:09:32 Really, really cool. Oh, that is really cool. I like it a lot. I love the way that they just like, the way everything has like a texture to it. So good. Perspective and color are my favorite of both of these pieces. And this one, they have such attention to detail with the glamour and the gear. I love it so much. And yeah, I think it is a pencil drawing.
02:09:59 I wonder if it's like a mix of both, because we've gotten those kinds of entries before, so really, really cool. Thank you so much for submitting. And then MinaRain, who do we have next? And next up we have T2Can from Reddit, also known as EchoSkybound from AdamNToys, and they are cosplaying as their tank in their...
02:10:25 Ja, das ist eine wirkliche Dark Knight-sword. Ich liebe es, wie es das? Fiberglass? Ja, ich glaube so. Das ist das Fiberglass. Das ist das Fiberglass. Ja, das ist das Fiberglass. Das ist das Fiberglass. Oder wenn nicht, eine Art Flexi-Pleck. Aber wirklich gut. Ich liebe die Details, both auf den Gear und der Weapon.
02:10:52 Yeah, amazing cosplay. Thank you so much for allowing us to showcase your cosplay. And then next up we have Mystery Sakura or June Saffron of Gungnir. This is cute. Little Lady's Day, what's it called? Tribute piece, which is very, very cute. I love it.
02:11:16 So quick, too, because we just had this glamour come out. Yeah, it's very, very nice. I like the boots a lot, to be honest. Yeah, the glam is beautiful. I love how they put so much detail on all of the metallic, too. It really brings this piece together. It really makes it pop, too. Sure, for sure. Yes, thank you so much for submitting this piece. Meinerine, who do we have next? And we have...
02:11:45 Paul, als in Nutelli, Karis Sunflower from Zodiark. This is of their character. I believe it looks like watercolor, too. Yeah, I was going to say, it does look like watercolor. This is a really cute picture of their Vera. Oh my god. I like the way they use the Strife body piece in this, too.
02:12:08 Ja, und ich denke, dass sie mit der coloration für die Watercolor sind und ich auch liebe ihre Pencil-Werke, oder ihre Penmanship. Ja. Oh, es ist so gut. Das ist wirklich, wirklich toll. Danke so viel. Ja, danke so viel für Sieg. Ok, Yomi, wer haben wir jetzt? Wir haben Bluenelle, oder Eva Lunabel von Ferry. Aww.
02:12:34 This Kane glamour is still one of my favorites. It's been around since A Realm Reborn. I love it so much. But this picture is really nice, too. I believe it's a digital piece, but kind of similar to the last one. It looks like they tried to mimic a very watercolor style. And I love the background. They're holding the flowers. Everything's on point with their glamour and their weapon matching. I love it. It's super, super cute. I love just the pastels that were used in this, too. Really, really nice color choice.
02:13:04 Cute, Lalafell. Yay. Thank you so much. Alright. And next up, who do we have, Minarine? Here we have Ranke Lee. The artist is Rain Love from Genova, and the character is Lucien King from Pham Free. This was a commission that Ranke did for Lucien. I love the colors in this so much. The way that...
02:13:33 Das ist so perfekt. Und die Augen, auch. So gut. Ja, ich denke, die Leidenschaften in diesem ist mein Lieblingspartner. So gut, die Leidenschaften sind. So gut, die Leidenschaften sind. So gut, die Leidenschaften sind. Ja, danke. Danke, danke. Umbral Ring, glaube ich, ist was da. Es ist cool. Super cool.
02:13:56 Awesome, awesome. All right. And next up, we have Serafina Umbra Arts, or Kaede Libidine of Zalera. Very, very cute. Look at those temperance wings. So cute. Oh, is it a white mage? Because I know they could use that, right? They're using the scythe, right? Oh, that's Ida's though. Isn't that Ida's cane? Yeah.
02:14:25 Das ist wirklich cool. Ich wusste die Aspects, aber dann, wenn ich die Scythe gesehen habe, dachte ich, Reeper? Aber nein, das ist die Ida-Kane. Das ist toll. Es ist wirklich toll, dass die Spieler immer wieder in die Geschichte sind.
02:14:47 I wonder if they're interested in the Yuwei Yawata Station dungeon. It kind of has spooky-ish vibes, but I don't know. Who knows? I love their attention to detail with the effects, though, and then also just the way they have the character posed and they've decided to draw them. It really shows through their style. Thanks so much for submitting. Thank you, thank you. And then, Minarine, who do we have next?
02:15:15 Lastly, we have Lina Dia, who is Altani Hargen from Curl. And the character is Leah Silvius from Springen. It's another white mage. I love how colorful it is. Yeah. I like the Azem crystal. I was just like, I see the Azem pattern that was shown off during Seed of Sacrifice, but I was just like, oh, no wonder.
02:15:41 Yeah, I really like their choice of background for that, too. It's super nice. And then the use of color. Everything just flows together. It's so beautiful. Yeah, I love the way their hair flows and their headpiece with the feathers. So good. Yeah. Thank you so much for submitting. Yep. And that just about does it for Community Commendations. But if you would like to see your artwork on here,

But yes, if you didn't know it already, the Seekers of Eternity Patch 7.2 Special Sight was updated, so please consider checking that out. And Fan Kit was also released. And yeah, I think those were like the biggest ones. Ooh, and then Moogle Treasure Trove is still going up until Patch 7.2's release also, so.
02:18:03 Very, very cool. New optional items on sale. And yeah, we did mention that as well. Bubble emote! Bubble emote! So cute. So cute. I think now we can just chill and talk with chat and see how many people are entering. That's a lot of people already.
02:18:25 Ja, und ich denke, wir haben es schon erwähnt, aber wenn wir über die Spezial Site Update sprechen, dann sollte man das auch schauen, denn wir haben die Archadien Challengers, da sind die Bilder und die Medien. Und dann gibt es auch eine Emoe, die wir nicht in PLL gezeigt haben, so ihr könnt eine Bildung für den Schreinshot bekommen. Und dann für die Fan Kit, wenn ihr möchtet,
02:18:53 We recently updated desktop or mobile backgrounds using the Secrets of Eternity patch artwork, but one notable update that occurred, it wasn't actually just this past week, but two weeks ago, was there's new pixels for all the jobs up until Dawn Trail. So if you're a fan of the pixel art, check out the fan kit because you can go download them there. Awesome.
02:19:19 Um, I think we can go ahead and start drawing our winners. I'll wait like just a few more seconds, but it seems like we have, we're not getting too many new entries. So I'll give it like 10 more seconds.
