Thread: FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!    

You equip jobs to a separate equipment slot above your weapon (at least in 1.0; can't remember Alpha/Beta atm) . Like to be a Dragoon from my amazing Culinarian, I'd trade my frying pan for a spear and then equip Soul of the Dragoon to become a Dragoon.

The idea of 1 class = multiple jobs is that you'd be allowed to equip several job crystals while wearing a certain weapon. So, like, for the PLD/DRK branching off of Gladiator-- your Soul of the Paladin and Soul of the Dark Knight would say "Requires: GLA," so you'd equip a sword to switch to gladiator then equip your soul crystal. This isn't possible with 1.0's system though, as I don't think there'd be a way to differentiate between /job on and /job off. (Last point is largely irrelevant now tho)

Also /t could also be set to shortened nicknames?

Not sure if there will be shortened nicknames, I would err on the side of not. For 1.0 we were told that at launch that would be a feature, that you could /tell people just using their first names so I came up with a sweet, but difficult to spell last name. I'm going to change for 2.0 because I got sick of people spelling it wrong and then being unable to invite me to party

Quick Question: Think this was asked on one of the Live Letters. Will armor and items be hotlinked to the chat window like in WoW? I think it was mentioned they would like to implement but wasnt sure if it would be in for launch? Has there been any update on that?

Thanks for the link btw.

Might want to take a another look at it.

First subscription: they'll charge you $78 every 6 months (equivalent to $13/mo).
Second subscription: they'll charge you $42 every 3 months (equivalent to $14/mo).
Third subscription: they'll charge you $15 every month.

Can't find the quote (99% sure it was mentioned in a Letter), but Entry is simply a cheaper subscription plan for those that don't want multiple characters.

It was first mentioned when they announced the Legacy discounts: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...gn.html#legacy

All of that just goes to show how baller the Legacy discount is going to be. A full $3/month cheaper than the 180 day subscription with only a monthly commitment is huge. It will be interesting to see if Legacy members will get even cheaper 90 and 180 day subscriptions.

That'd be off-the-charts amazing, and probably too good to be true

Sigh, missed legacy by 15 days.

I sell you guys my extra legacy account...
