    Well, based on that opening movie, Seems like a couple months or a year has passed by since the end of the 2.55. Unless Raubahn is just so damn manly he sprouts a beard like it's nothing. That's gonna be weird to see as a new player starting fresh in Heavensward and questing from 2.0 -> 3.0.

    really need clarification on whether both modes of Alexander work like CT or not
    While all of this new content will be available from the start of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavenward, content tied to weekly lockouts will not be available from the start.
    We want to make sure the players are able to enjoy the leveling process without being rushed to the high-end content. Additionally, unlike the Coil of Bahamut, players will be able to re-enter a floor in Alexander even if you have cleared it (similar to the Crystal Tower). You will be able to challenge it as many times as you wish until you obtain the item that you want. Also, even if you Need on an item, you will still be able to help others with the progression of Alexander.

    Looks like they haven't decided to change the shit gearing system that they had in 2.0.

    Only 2 sets of top ilvl gear. Raid gear, and Esoterics gear. GG SE. U win. We lose.

    Yes. Basically even if you do get loot, you can still go in and help people much like now unlike the current system.

    @ the esoteric/coil gear.. it looks like normal coil gear is gonna be slightly above the Law tome gear maybe? I guess? with esoteric/savage being the best.

    I'm not misunderstanding what I quoted. The unofficial translation specifically mentions Normal mode while the official translation simply says "Alexander" (which to me, implies both modes). That's why I want them (SE) to clarify the official answer.

    Oh sorry, it's normal mode and it's like CT/ST system; run as many times as you want, loot limited. Guess we won't know more til the next live letter, though.

    They previously said that the live letter in April was primarily to show the full opening movie and talk about general details like areas so I'm not terribly surprised it was basically a summary. Remember, a lot of that info was really only dropped in the Famitsu interview and not widely announced. The letter in May is supposed to have quite a bit more detail, with specific info about the battle system (presumably discussions about stat adjustments, new abilities, new jobs, etc.). So... please look forward to it? lulz

    ITT: People being shocked at old info. Literally the only real piece of info we got was the date on the benchmark.

    No one should expect new, mindblowing info until a month from release (end of May).

    Nah son! It was more or less implied a while back during PAX and before that (they hinted that it wouldn't be as high as 50 while not starting at 1, and that they would function as "extra jobs").

    If you didn't make the educated guess at 30 you were doing it wrong.

    By month you mean 2 days prior to "prevent spoilers and economic downfall" or some such.

    So for as much as we know, the content pattern is the same in Heavensward? I was hoping for some midcore battle content or worthwhile shit to grind on the side of spamming Alex (because chest RNG), but there's nothing to that effect.

    I still don't quite understand this. We got a ton of new information and confirmations. We got quite a bit of footage and plenty of screenshots. We didn't get any less than during a regular Live Letter. Here are things that they hadn't explicitly said/shown before:

    Spoiler: show


    • 1:20 teaser of the benchmark video
    • Heavensward CGI
    • 6 minutes of flying in the new zone
    • Plenty of new screenshots of gear, dungeons, frontlines, etc.
    • The names of the two Au Ra clans: Au Ra Raen and Au Ra Xaela
    • The level cap will be unlocked automatically (no quest required)
    • The main story should take around 50 hours to complete.
    • the field areas for Heavensward are composed of nine new zones. Each zone is about 50-100% larger than the zones found in A Realm Reborn.
    • In order to fly with the flying mount, you need to be attuned for that field.
    • Chocobo companions will be able to fly by completing something
    • Do you have plans to make the existing Bomb Palanquin and ahriman mounts flying mounts? Yes. It’s not planned for 3.0, but it is planned.
    • Leveling starts from 30 for Dark Knight, Astrologian and Machinist
    • Names of the Allagan tomestones (Law and Esoterics)
    • All Disciples of War and Magic will learn new actions through quests. You won’t be able to gain these actions by just leveling up
    • With the Collectible system DoH/DoL will receive orders from Rowena’s House of Splendors to create items.
    • DoH will be able to undertake a quest to become a specialist from level 55. It’ll be possible to become a specialist in three classes of your choice
    • for DoL there will be regional folklore, which is high-level content. You can consider this end-game content
    • 8 new dungeons
    • the lotting system for primal battles will change in Heavensward. You may be familiar with the system if you played Version 1.0; it will be a token system similar to that.
    • new PvP gear will be added.
    • We’ll be adding content to the Duty Roulette and also arranging the content of the roulette.
    • Challenge duties with smaller parties and sync to lowest ilvl
    • the level cap for retainers will also increase
    • we will add new entries to the sightseeing log
    • The “lootmaster” system will allow the party’s master to distribute lottable items. For example, before entering content you’ll be able to establish item lotting rights in chat, so please be sure to put this to use. Additionally, we’ll be making it possible to do a single take-back on items you accidentally needed or greeded on.
    • Release schedule for Alexander Savage, Esoterics and frontlines map

    I'd say that's quite a bit of new information.

    Also, best part: Dhalmel confirmed

    Spoiler: show

    Have they clarified on the difficulty of Alexander HM? Sounds like NM Is gonna be a joke and if HM is truly harder than Savage then they have given 99% of the population less content to do since there is no middle ground. I like the current difficulty of current coil, so not sure how i feel about stupid difficult or stupid easy mode
