Comments from the Devs

Magicked Prisms are just silly "fireworks" items that you use on players to display a rotating logo above the head of the target. I don't know why these particular Magicked Prisms won't be ready. There already exist Magicked Prisms for each of the three nations' "newspapers" (Harbor Herald, etc.).

[Gokulo]

Oh, had no idea, that's a pretty silly reward then, but not that it matters :D

1.23 Patch notes are up

I'd guess most of the team is working fully on 2.0 now, it seems pretty thin in content, although who's to say what those extra normal quests will be like.

[Egon]

Small patch.

[Lordender]

Really, you can fucking tebow now in this game? LMAO.

Someone needs to make a Tim Tebow mule.

[Karinastar]

I guess the hard mode Legatus fight will be in 1.23a then? That's about the only thing missing that I can think of. Oh well, we all knew from the get-go that this would be a small patch. I'm really excited to finish the story though, assuming this is it like they said. I really wanna see how they close things out.

[Spira]

so has anyone done the legatus fight to know how the story goes yet?

[Gokulo]

I'm pretty confused, so did the update hit already? The maint notes state a totally different time for it.

[Karinastar]

It's from 2-6pm PST today according to Lodestone. Anyway, we're planning to do the fight tonight, and unless it's crazy hard for some reason I'll more than likely have a video of the fight and all of the cutscenes on my youtube channel shortly after~

[Raldo]

"To Kill A Raven"? I'm a little surprised. The Raven is not Van Darnus; it's that other dude in the black armor.

Disregard. I r dumb

[Makwa]

I could've sworn Van Darnus was referred to as the "White Raven."

[vadre]

Nael = White raven, Gaius = black wolf, doubt we'll be seeing any wolf-killing quests for a fair while.

[Raldo]

OH well shit. I think Raven, I think black. I got all kinds of mixed up.

[TacoTaru]

Whoever said the Skrimish weapons looked like repurposed Titan primal weapons, sounds like they were pretty damn close lol. The name + the legend of Giantsgall seem to fit:

[Giantsgall]
A variety of stone found only on Thavnair, possessing exceptional hardness. Its name is derived from a legend that tells of a Far Eastern hero who voyaged to the selfsame island and there vanquished a savage giant. A nearby stone drank up the slain giant's blood and gall, thus receiving of its strength.

[Tomino]

Pre-patch speculation: do you think that the Raven battle will end with the "Dalamud + big explosions + destruction" cutscene, or just with him dying and something else bound to happen?

I'm pretty curious on how, and when, they plan to show the whole apocalyptic thing.
Unless they are saving it for 1.23 b, in which there will be a quest that will trigger the "final" cutscene.

[Rocl]

they gotta leave it open ended for To Kill A Raven (Hard) too '~'

[Raldo]

they gotta leave it open ended for To Kill A Raven (Hard) too '~'

Which means there are rewards, which is very curious...

I want to see what this Chocobo Hat looks like! Does anyone remember how much cargo you need to deliver to get the 3rd achievement? I think I've barely shipped 100. Edit: 1,000

We had Tebowing in XI, if you were the right races that used the /rest command. My hume has been Tebowing since before Tebow was in high school.

[Jamison]

I don't remember of any mention of a hard version of the final battle coming down the pipe. Was there an announcement about that or are folks just speculating?
