FFXIV 8.0: Evercold (January 2027)

[Vaspinne]

It’s kind of nuts they announced PS4 end of service and Switch 2 launch when the Switch 2 is only slightly more powerful than the PS4 lol

Yeah, definitely an interesting choice lol. And of course Nintendo gonna Nintendo with their subscription demands.

I'm really interested in this new evolved mode though. Like was mentioned earlier, I'm really curious what it means for early content and if it'll make it way less of a bore. Especially with the cap moving to 110, if you don't unlock most of your toolkit until like level 90, it's gonna be ROUGH for the vast majority of content

But yeah, otherwise it seemed like they're making a lot of changes that addresses a bunch of player complaints. The empty zone changes are interesting to me too

Edit: The dev panel that they'll be talking about the battle changes and Evolve mode is gonna be at 2:45 PDT, so I'm deffo gonna check that out

[Gokulo]

Also, something I forgot among all the excitement - I'm literally wearing an Evangelion t shirt today

[Vaspinne]

This is the guy who's behind the construct 7 math mechanic lmao

As someone who recently started playing PLD seriously for the first time in the last couple months these evolved action changes are so, so fucking good

[Vaspinne]

Yeah I am kind of loving these changes so far. Getting rid of button bloat is always welcome. And having weaponskill combos on a single button is so fucking nice

[Gokulo]

Still not seeing any signs of job identity though

[Gokulo]

Ok, I spoke too fast lol

Commendation time after finishing the raid

[Vaspinne]

Oh fuck, these dragoon changes are fucking rad. Just spamming jumps everywhere, love it. The directionals annoy me though, but will have to see it in full motion, especially weaving jumps in to negate it and how consistently you can keep that up

[Vaspinne]

Goodbye and good fucking riddance 2-minute meta

[Anoat]

RIP 2 minute meta

Getting a full tool-kit at 50 is amazing. And the main and off tank changes are very interesting
