FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[Burningthought]

Is there any kind of BG wiki for XIV, or is there one planned? All the resources I've been trying to use catching back up fucking blow.

This. I can't find a place that updates any of the quest and scenario stuff.

If there isn't one we need to make one.

[TacoTaru]

The best I can find is Eorzapedia and that thing is broke every 5minutes.

[Av.]

Apologies if this question is out of reach. Would it be possible to take the models of the XIV Ifrit weapons, and recreate them (if needed) to be used as a dat mod in XI?

[Manako]

This. I can't find a place that updates any of the quest and scenario stuff.

Yes! would be awesome!

[Scary]

Ok, well now that they kinda teased us with that image of the new 2.0 UI, let's have fun and speculate.

[miokomioko]

It's Coerthas.

[TacoTaru]

-As said, the new Coerthas landmark
-Bravewind is his title I believe as it's the same font/style as the rest of the titles

[miokomioko]

Yeah, the player's name is Delita Heiral, which is omitted above the character for some reason while the title remains (also hence "Delita's Steed" title for Boco)

[Scary]

Hmm, you're right. makes sense. The little dots on the bottom right corner is interesting. I postulated battle formation, but could be something else completely.

[Gokulo]

Simple player name off filter, yeah.

[miokomioko]

Seems weird to have a name filter that still keeps your title, linkshell, and HP up there. I hope it would just disable all that shit if it's an option at all. The player's HP bar is on that screen three damn times, heh.

[Gokku]

can someone explain to me the faction leve's i just hit 100+ in 2 of the 3 ul dah factions and im confused on if i can solo these battles or if they would require a linkshell.

[Corrderio]

I'm all for this.

[miokomioko]

There's only 2 faction leves that require a group because of their difficulty and they have prerequisites so you wouldn't even be able to select those yet. They are pretty much the same as normal leves except their difficulty is just a tiny bit higher due to mob types and groups. The benefit is that they generally have better rewards (some unique to faction leves like the Onion set) and their gil/mark rewards tend to be higher.

Spoiler: show

I think you are on to something with the abbv. but B for buffer doesn't quite fit imo, since Faris is a Archer, and doesn't have a Bowharp. I could be 100% wrong though. I don't think they are using Jobs in that picture.

I don't like the fact they show your current gil, but there's no xp bar, or anything that shows you level like they have now. I could live without all three of those in plainview though.

[solracht]

I don't think they are using Jobs in that picture.

Look at the gladiator, lancer and pugilist more closely.

[Kurokikaze]

I honestly think the dots in bottom right hand corner is inventory bags (7 of them). Color coded dots depending on what kind of item is in there. Black dots means empty slot OR equipped items in inventory. Feel free to agree/disagree.

The icons to the left of the Gil count (43,722,015) is the new menu. Instead of pressing triangle (ESC) to open the menu that slides from the right we'll just access this. Ready to be clicked on at all times. This is most likely the keyboard/mouse version of the UI.

[Scary]

Now that I think about it, I might postulate that the little boxes of dots on the bottom right might correspond to the "other 7" party members and the damage their gears are taking. But who knows, that would be interesting though. Perhaps one of the more mysterious things in this picture.

[Kurokikaze]

There would be almost no value in displaying that information on the screen in that fashion. lol

[Scary]

yeah true, it's a strange thing!
