FFXIV 3.0 : Heavensward - Expansion Information and Discussion

[The Stig]

Quest name should be "Have cake, will fly" in such a case!

That DRG statue looks like the king of derps lol. Some I90 DRG with Zenith weapon who tossed a cape over his shoulders, thinking he's hot shit.

To be fair, the initial Relic was supposed to be godly..and back in 1.x days DRGs were less derps, so its probably a Legacy Dragoon that was chilling in Ishgard after seeing what has become of his profession 5 years later story time.

The Bowl of Embers was littered with DRG corpses in 1.0 (preferred DD at two different points in time + animation lock). Your joke is bad and you should feel bad.

That's Sir Derpius Dragoonius, to you, the first Azure Dragoon.

More little tidbits about Heavensward from Yoshi-P.

• Afro hairstyle in the works
• Bunny ears to be worn by male characters in the works
• Zodiac Weapon will not continue. Instead there will be a brand new weapon quest line but those using ZW's will have a slightly easier time. He didn't want to make it completely useless cause he finished a ZW weapon himself!
• There will be 4 types of airships made with FC crafting. Number of allowed ships will vary by rank, beginning with 4. Buying parts will be costly but if you have gatherers it won't be so bad. The hardest part won't be the building, but gathering materials from Ishgard.
• FC alliance coming in 3.0. It will have a teleport item similar to the eternal bond ring.
• They have plans to add housing in Ishgard but in 1-2 years at earliest. There's not enough land right now so they plan to work on that first. If you're not sure about spending money on housing just buy a large one now.
• Once you clear a certain quest your fat chocobo will fly
• Ahriman and Bomb mount (from Kobolds) as well as primal horses will all fly
• First one to fly will be Kirin.
• If people voice their opinions loud enough the Goobbue might fly too?
• Requested armor & emotes will come in patch 3.1. More will be revealed on the next letter from the producer live.

Rated T for...

Spoiler: show

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of an adventurer exploring a fantastical world. Players travel through various lands, interact with characters, and engage in battle against humans and fantasy creatures (e.g., demons, skeletons). Players use swords, spears, and magic spells to kill several opponents. Combat can be frenetic at times, accompanied by clashing sounds and brief yells. Cutscenes also depict instances of violence: an extended off-screen sequence in which a character is stabbed; a character losing an arm off-screen in a swordfight; a character impaled by a magical bolt. Blood is depicted in a handful of cutscenes in which characters are injured; bloodstains also appear on the ground in a handful of levels. The game includes some suggestive/sexual material: female characters dressed in revealing outfits; camera angles that pan suggestively on bodies; dialogue that states “[s]tay clear from them two. Gave me the crotch rot, they did!” Players occasionally encounter characters who consume alcohol (e.g., “Jussone more cup, littlemann! Hic!”). The word “sh*te” appears in dialogue.

POOOWWDERRED! TOOOOAASST! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Edit: I gotta make a thread for my ADS mount to fly.

[Deader2818]

The primal horse mounts now play the music from their respective primal fights lol.

Steps of faith nerfs woo!

Man that was the most painful DF for daily ever ;/

[Ratatapa]

Heard the Nerfs are real

quote from OF:
Just got out of Steps. The Nerfs are real.

Super real. One of the assigned cannon people didn't get on at all, no one did snares, still killed him before third dragonkiller.

[Sho]

Can't say I agree with Steps of Faith nerfing. Catering to the least common denominator of casual doesn't bode well for the future, even if it was a storyline fight.

[Seravi Edalborez]

It doesn't really matter what we think, I guess. Steps wasn't that difficult and in hindsight it's not even that involving of a fight for people who suck so much that you have to stick them on cannons (who then suck further because said people are slow clickers). But they made the (questionable) decision to lock HW behind Steps, so we're stuck with them catering to bottom feeders.

It's just Pharos Sirius again. We can't have meaningful difficult content that isn't Coil.
