I'm not entirely serious, mind you, I rarely am.

And I was hoping you were neither.

But, alas.

One day we'll get a letter on a Friday, and it shall be glorious.

Isn't it Saturday in Japan?

Honestly speaking, would that stop Yoshi-P? I remember his Sunday night at 12am posts. The hell.

[Meko]

I think what bothers me is your avatar image. Creeps me out a bit. Nonetheless, here's to hoping it's next week!!! GOGOGOGOGOGOGO SE!

[Lucavi]

SE! WHY U NO APPEASE YOUR FANS??!!! I wish they had an actual guy on staff that looked like that image, and I wish even more that he'd randomly yell that during their staff meetings.

[Meko]

Could add a nice caption to it. "You gonna get SE'd"

[Hyan]

My body is ready for 1.18!

Too bad SE is not =/

Good point

ffxi forum? does that mean you can still post on ffxiv forum?

[Kurokikaze]

Its a typo. I cant post on 14 forums. Ban lifted: Never.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Can't even notify you of an infraction properly. Who are you SE?

[Corrderio]

Proxy FTW?

Either way, if they don't want people to swear would it kill them to put a filter in the forum settings?

More info about Materia:

*While unique/untradeable gear is not directly related, there are some items that cannot have materia attached to it. Also, there are some items that you cannot convert into materia as well.
*They are considering storing them in your inventory.
*You will be able to trade, etc. the same as before you attached materia. If you could trade it before, you can trade it after attachment.
*Specifically, you will not be able to attach high stat materia to low rank items.

Materia in the main inventory? This is going to be a clusterfuck unless they expand inventory.

[miokomioko]

They need to work a little harder to keep people from just thinking "Evolith: Part Deux."

Is this coming out in 1.18? Cuz it sounds pretty vauge for something that's pretty much around the corner(3 weeks?). Unless of course they push it back to July which doesn't sound too hard to believe.

More shit in my inv = shoot me in the face. I already rank my glad in full crafting gear as is simply because I don't have space to carry around another armor set.

[Corrderio]

Might or might not, we haven't got any information on what's coming in 1.18

Also, another rep post:

Catalysts will only be obtainable via gathering methods.

[Lordender]

Lol never doing gathering ever, looks like i'll be buying materia or w/e. I rather cut x's into my hand than suffer through the terrible gathering system.

Botters should be happy though!

So do the details we've been given about combat and thats definitely 1.18.

[Cichy]

It would be logical if they added the jobs also so that the dungeons provide the gear for them but it's SE so I wonder how they going to deal with that.

[Lordender]

The real question is, Will 1.18 be better than Long John Silvers?
