FFXIV 6.0: Endwalker (December 7, 2021)

[arus2001]

So, he'll stand in the bad. Got it.

[Anoat]

New updates coming to Gold Saucer. A big multiplayer expansion, can't make the announcement today. Yoshi P teases blitzball or snowboarding.

[Corrderio]

Yoshi P jokes it will be a Hildebrant alliance raid series lol

Godbert for final boss

Trust system update. Estinien will be added as a trust NPC.

Can't wait to see how much he dies per DRG tradition

[Obsidian]

Yoshi P jokes that Estinien will betray the party yet again, says dragoons can't be trusted LOL

WoL is a Paladin on the moon, one of his best friends is a Dragoon.

Cecil PTSD intensifies.

Harvest Moon in mah Final Fantasy

[Anoat]

New system titled "Island Sanctuary" looks like FFXIV version of Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon

[The Stig]

Given the success of Animal Crossing in 2020 I guess it got influenced by that.

Also maybe an answer to individual housing plot.

Ishgard housing district confirmed

I sure in the hell hope so. Though I wish I could get my 500K back for my apartment I seldomly use.

[Anoat]

Players can explore Ishgard housing district and browse plots on 6.0 launch but sale of land will not begin until 6.1

I just hope it's some fun, relaxing stuff without stupid limitations that can be done when you're done with your weekly stuff etc. and not something heavily gated again >.>;

[Anoat]

Battle jobs are all going to be downscaled so damage level output isn't stupid high, sounds like we are getting close to damage cap which makes it difficult for dev team

It's FFXIV. Of course it will be timegated

Yoshi P says an upcoming boss in 5.5 has 440 million HP, cites this power creep as a reason why battle jobs need to be downscaled

I mean I can't blame him. That's insane and I can imagine numbers that big with how many players this game has can put quite a lot of stress on the servers.

[Anoat]

Yoshi P says maximum damage per attack will be reduced, as well as experience points needed to level up. Enemy characters HP and damage will also be reduced for balance.

[Anoat]

Yoshi P says they expect that this new system will cause a difficulty spike when using undersized parties, uses an example of using a level 80 character to play lower level dungeons and raids. Says they realize players enjoy using undersized parties and they are working on a solution.

A consequence to this will be undersized parties may be more difficult doing content.

Thank god I soloed Nael in T9 when I did.

RIP to belts

[Anoat]

Belts will be removed as equipable gear, Nomura in shambles
