Not sure if serious... but I shopped that a long time ago. lol >.>

I have yet to figure out a sane reason as to why this hasn't been implemented (in either FF MMO).

[Croy]

Like the other primals. He's not huge and this new model is much more like the classic Leviathan than the sea serpent we see in the opening.
Also Yoshida never said the current primal battles and drops will be removed. He said that the content linked with the 7th Umbral Era storyline will disappear and that includes the quests needed to access Ifrit and Garuda.

Now with the primal battles, some plots are connected with the Seventh Umbral Era. I say that there is a good chance their appearance may change in 2.0. Some will remain the same, some won't. So basically, the current game balance and the current reward will only be available now. Some of those items already exist.

Its vague enough to go both ways just don't assume they will stick around in 2.0.

[miokomioko]

If you're familiar at all with the lengthy process of such uniquely-designed weapons like Ifrit/Moogle/Garuda going from concepts/sketches to in-game you'll have massive doubts that they'll simply remove them all and effectively make them all pre-2.0 trophies.

[MrDodo]

I hope summons stick around for a few minutes and don't just use one powerful move and disappear. It would be sweet if you summon say Ifrit and he comes through and busts ass with melee attacks and tp moves/magic for 3 minutes then exits with a massive ability like Inferno.

This has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see the worldwide weather/environmental affects from a primal being summoned.

Oh I don't think they will out right remove them never to be seen again unless you played 1.0, they will just add them back in later at a different level/stats, the current 'version' of the rewards will not appear again is what I was getting at. The new 2.0 version weapons might just be reskinned/changed a bit to better reflect what the primals will look like in 2.0 since we know the look will change slightly in 2.0 for some of them.

Looking forward to NPCing my Dated Ifrit's Bow etc.

id totally play Triple Triad.

it needs to be a part of the game itself tho, like in the shopped image. if they can incorporate cards into refining for items that would be an added bonus to keep the community running.

[Sephiroth]

Triple Triad is exactly what the game needs to solve that downtime issue of having fuck all to do that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Used to play that online all the time about 12 years ago back when websites existed running their own version of it.

[Deadgye]

Um I meant to say it isn't gonna be a slap in the face of lore and story canon. It's all gonna fit right into XIV as if it were original ideas not seen in previous FFs

Are you crazy? That would basically be an MMO kingdom hearts without the keyblades and heartless. Actually, with dat mods it can have the keyblades and heartless.

Reading up on some of this stuff.. I'm getting excited. My CE for xiv has been collecting dust forever. If I don't have to rebuy the game when 2.0 comes out I might reactivate my account for a month to check it out. The summoning system sounds really awesome.

You don't have to rebuy the game and afair you won't even have to reactivate. Current owners should get a free trials before they start taking money again.

[Deadgye]

I'll have to start looking into the specifics. I think I deactivated my account or stopped payment or something the month before they started charging. And then I played xi for a little bit last summer when they started using the same payment system and stopped payment or something as well.

[Kurokikaze]

If you bought a copy of the game, all you'll have to do is download the new client and reactivate your account. You will not need to buy the game again.

[Aratharn]

Also I wonder about the new summon system... will the primal fights be the same?

Will they only spawn in certain areas? Ifrit in Thanalan? Garuda in Coerthas?

If a pt claims Ifrit do they get instanced into the Bowl of Embers and fight the Ifrit we know? Eruptions, Plumes, dashes, etc. Or will the open world Ifrit have new moves? Or even the same moves just out in the open world?

[Rowe]

probably 99% the same info http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs...09_538873.html

There's a picture of Tu'Lia about halfway down the page, is it just an open-ended question asking whether or not FFXIV will have a sky type area like FFXI? Or did Yoshi say something specifically in the article about a sky type area?

At a guess from a horribly google-translated caption beneath it, I'd say it's questioning whether we might see those story-based endgame zones pop up in XIV? No idea how accurate that is, could be totally off.

Speaking of interviews any news on Ravidrath's 1up interview? Wanna see if any BG questions made it in.
