    It's just habit to call it AF2 I think. People on Excal still call mytho gear AF2

    What people don't understand is that AF gear in FFXI and now FFXIV will always have the appearance (or likeness) of classical armor appearances from various other Final Fantasy games. I mean it's a dead giveaway that it's AF, or AF2, or Artifact or what have you. For example, Myth DRG gear in game is a throwback to Kain's armor from FFIV. the upcoming AF2 for MNK is a throwback to Yang's gear from FFIV as well.

    I'ma just post DRG AF2 just to further move away from the idea that this stuff is AF2:

    All this talk of Odin gear, I'm more disappointed in how it will work with cowls. There's no such thing as a good looking cowl so if one is ever the best in slot piece for a mage then we are stuck with shitty looking gear or choosing the next best in slot. Hopefully they will just stop adding cowls or design them so you can hide those awful hoods.

    No. You can glamour a cowl into a robe with no hat (or hat with no body, but... yeah that would look interesting), you just can't do the opposite.

    They even gave that exact case as something you can totally do.

    • Casting the glamour of a hooded cowl on another hooded cowl, as both occupy a body and head slot.
    • Casting the glamour of a robe on a hooded cowl, as the body and head slot of the hooded cowl include the body slot of the robe.
    • In this case, you will not appear to be wearing headwear.

    They never explicitly stated when AF2 would be released, everyone just assumed it would be 2.2 because they showed us concept art early. How you people are getting the armors mixed up is far beyond me. Especially when these images are readily available on the internet. I bet you 5$ and my left nut that 2.3 will have AF2, as well as new PvP sets.
    They actually said it was 2.2 during live letter 9 when it was shown. ofc they could have pushed it back though

    It also literally says AF2 on each of those concept art panels, so there's that.

    It actually looks like he mentioned the Allagan Mail being 2.2 ("This is 2.2") then correcting himself and stating it as a new type of Allagan Mail from Coil. One can assume that he doesn't want to tell players when this gear is coming out, but he let slip on the Allagan Mail.

    Also the fact that regardless of the concept art that's shown, every single time we see concept art it's faithfully recreated 100% in game, down to the details and color.

    People are just hoping to hope for AF2. It will come but we don't know the time, or fashion. It can be a CT drop for all we know, or a new type of tome or from Coil or w/e.

    Which is disappointing because as soon as we get that Yang gear I will never change jobs again.

    My money is 2.4 because I don't expect 2.3 to raise ilvl

    Also easy rule for glamors: slots on vanity piece equal to, or less than, slots on equipped gear

    I honestly think there will not be a 2.4, since there has been no mention of it anywhere ever, but yet they have been already speaking of 3.0

    And yea, new af2 designs coming from CT in 2.3 is possible, but would suck =/

    I don't think they ever talked further than 2 patches ahead (3.0 is an exception since that's the expansion and people always ask about that). I fully expect there to be 2.4, but dunno after that.

    If they do come from CT 2.3 it had better be some good shit and not follow suit with how CT is 10 ilvl below the best gear. Or if it is at least let us upgrade via quests and stuff like how relics are going to be now

    Yoshida: Yes, the number of people with stronger gear will increase. For example, if you do hard mode Titan with seven people equipped with Allagan weapons, you should have a comfortable margin to defeat him even if one person falls off. In patch 2.1, with the level 80 equipment from Crystal Tower, there will be a middle step added for players to become more comfortable with clearing this content. Rather than relaxing the content, we want players to make the effort to obtain better equipment. By patch 2.4 or so once equipment has reached a certain level, these battles may just feel like normal monsters.

    Originally we scheduled to implement patch 2.1 at the end of November, but we wanted to add a few more things, and we're working really hard to get the update out, so please hang on a bit longer. I've been working with management and we've been patient but anxious to get the content from patch 2.1 out there. It's been easy to lose track of where we were at with all of the different subgroups working on different content.

    We have the three pillars that we are emphasizing in patch 2.1 by releasing them all at once, so the players will have a lot of new options from the onset. One of them, for example, is the treasure hunts. Treasure hunts are just one option from the new content which we expect people to participate in, and we don't want people to just shift from spending all their time in one type of content to spending all their time in another. In a nutshell, players will gather up treasure maps, decipher the map, go to the marked location to find the treasure chest, and finally take part in a battle to obtain the content of the chest.

    I see. That's only one of the things being implemented, but you don't expect users to spend all their time doing treasure hunts.

    He also makes a quip about how iLevel at 2.4, so Kaslo may definitely be right.

    I would say CT 2.0 for the af2 as well because it sort of fits the pattern. Unfortunately that may mean additional drop slots for smn, sch, war, and pld armors.

    I'm gonna guess that 2.X Series will go as long as 2.45, then they will make the expansion jump to 3.0. If they time it right on their development end it could be as early as late November and as late as early January. That entire time period is the major meat of the Q4 release cycle for games, and what better way to make money than to have an expansion ready for the holidays?

    only new gear in 2.3 is whatever comes from Ramuh and CT2. CT2 gear will be worse than the Coil set. AF2 being not top tier is very unlikely, hope you have insurance on that nut.
