    Hello everyone.
    Fernehalwes with another update from the Japan Expo.
    It seems like only yesterday when at a certain game show (let's call it E3), a certain producer (let's call him Yoshinori Kitase) from a certain game (let's call it Lightning Returns: FINAL FANTASY XIII) burst into a certain Letter Live (let's call it a Producer Letter Live) to 'ask permission' to use Miqo'te gear in his game. It also seems like only yesterday when Yoshida-san promised he'd think about adding something from Lightning Returns to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.
    Well...if the latest Japan Expo stage presentation is anything to go off of, the ARR development team has been hard at work:
    ▼The Empire can only be defeated with silent stare!

    ▼Hempen this. Oaken that. What Eorzea needs is more pizzazz!
    http://rss.finalfantasyxiv.com/jp/blog/jp/LR4.jpg
    ▼Unwitty comments aside...I have to admit, that's freaking ADORABLE.
    http://rss.finalfantasyxiv.com/jp/blog/jp/LR3.jpg
    ▼Lightning never strikes twice? Poor Snow...

    I think we had a page of discussion on it on the Dev Comments thread? Suffice to say, that was enough. Also, reading the Beta Forums is one way of doing it wrong.

    It's fun and all, but the hand-to-hand weapons are absurdly large and the boomerang grimoire is fucking horrendous.

    I am hoping it's just a one-time flavor quest line and all that armor/weaponry is town gear. Which class gets the boomerang?

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    It's Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar. Instead of designing an entirely new item with XIII art style (like they did with the hand-to-hand weapons), they just stacked 5 of Hope's boomerang's together, so they hinge simultaneously like a grimoire. SO DUMB.

    Everything works pretty well except those two. They should have used the round fists from goblin/munchkin/etc. mobs and just designed a new book item with a l'cie brand emblem or some crap. Maybe the official guide?

    I hope they do this crossover thing for other Square franchises also, not just Final Fantasy.

    Keyblades, wands, and shields from KH/KH2 making an appearance would be pretty fucking awesome.

    When Lulu's skirt was complete, Tetsuya Nomura stepped back to observe the masterpiece he had pulled from the black, leathery, buckled abyss of his mind... and he wept. He wept because he had reached the pinnacle of his craft and realized it would be decades before it could be fully realized by home consoles.

    I really couldn't care less if they steal/use their other designs from other ffs. It adds fanservice, and it's not like the designs suck (I really like most of them...except vaan's pants...fuck that shit). I want this game to survive, and these are small potatoes to help the mouthbreathers to keep pulling out their wallets.
