FFXIV Upcoming Patch Information 2.3 (July 8)

[Rocl]

I was more going on the actual real-estate SE provided to the players which already felt contrived, but I wasn't aware they were that small in 1.0 also.

I honestly don't even know what you're trying to say.

I recalled seeing some shots of an inaccessible area in 1.0 Coerthas that had a fuckton of Ixali flags about it, and assumed there was more like that.

You might've seen Natalan before it was released? Coerthas had one or two baby camps of Ixali (like the Amalj'aa camps in Eastern Drybone, or the one in the Sagolii Desert in 2.0) and Natalan. There was no inaccessible Ixali area in Coerthas in 1.0.

All you get as a tease in ARR regarding visible beastmen homes is the Ixali's large amounts of outposts to the south east of Natalan, and the pointlessly inaccessible amount of wall-houses for the Kobolds and Amalj'aa, with not much of a clue how they even access those outside of a blocked gate or two.

Guess I could say I've been spoiled by XI having proper 'outposts' for most of their beastmen races and was just expecting a little more, and wanted said 'more' for Shiva when she gets her eventual appearance.

You mean Orcs huddled around a campfire in Ronfaure? You can figure Natalan/Zahar'ak are more akin to Ghelsba (if that). I don't know what you mean by outpost.

And on the subject of Orcs/Quadav/Yagudo for XIV

If they change their stance on XIV and XI being distinctly separate.

I mean, having all this dimensional fuckery that Vana'diel has had going on forever play into how Goblins, Mamool Ja, etc. made their way to Eorzea would be great. When they close down any further storyline development for XI, having it "end" with the world dying and scattered populations from the cities peacing out to Eorzea (in an Abyssea-like scenario I guess..) would be a pretty great way to end.

Also BALANCE or some shit.

They're as separate as any other Final Fantasy game. In other words, they can borrow whatever they want.

Pretty much this. They've been borrowing textures from FFXII as well. And designs/lore ideas from just about every other game.

[Niiro]

"Borrowing" is a bit of an understatement.

[Sho]

Fine. Straight up jacking textures.

[Niiro]

The animations are the same as well.

ctrl+c
ctrl+v
add flashy particle effects

[Gokulo]

We got it, we got it.

[Shenrien]

I never put the two together until now, oh my god blahblahblah who cares. XIV is a giant fan service game and its blatantly obvious.

[Prothescar]

they're good assets anyway, why wouldn't/shouldn't they reuse them



my biggest complaint is the lack of rabbits.

[Cutriss]

As long as they don't use the rarabs...those things were hideous.

[ronin sparthos]

I never really thought of them as pigs, just kinda their own creature

Orcs have been called pigmen throughout FFXI even though (to me) they didn't look like pigs until WOTG added those tuskmasks.

[Amiricle]

Some npc in a future patch/expansion will bring a rabbit/rarab with, and shortly thereafter they will appear in every zone.

[Cantih]

I swear I saved the image of WoW rabbits vs XI Rarabs, but I just checked my folders and cant find the damn thing.

[Sephiroth]

Just wait for the butt hurt when SE tells everyone they're delaying the 2.3 portion of the zodiac quest until 2.35 because not many people have completed the 2.28 portion.

Joke's on them, I'm saving my Atmas for Musketeer! I'll never finish!
