Anyone know if they released more details and an estimate date for patch 2.1?

I know there will be player housing, 2 more lvl 50 dungeons, crystal tower, pvp, new mode for primals and a few more primals...

Anything else?

Note on FC Housing Locations : There are conflicting sources on weather this will be Limsa Lominsa's housing area only, or all three housing areas.

Thanks.

Lots of stuff in there and it looks promising.

Two questions:

1) Will they nerf the already existing content? I haven't done coil yet and I hope I can try it before any nerfs...

2) No date? Think they mentioned november but I'm not sure.

Np. No nerfs to existing content this patch- they already nerfed/fixed some of the later stages of coil to make it more feasible in an earlier hotfix.

I'd expect early December.

Great.

Thanks for the reply guys :)

Actually, a late December release is brilliant. Both the US and Japan start having major time off school/work in late December. I know I'm off work starting December 24th and I don't have to be back until January 2nd.

I bet I'll have at least one 16 hour play day unless we end up going to Florida or something. Smiley: nod

Damn it. I'm sooooooo excited for Crystal Tower. I absolutely loved FF3 and the CT theme was my ringtone for years. I don't know if I can wait that long!

Oh well, I guess I'll help my friends get their relics in the meanwhile. :)

I'd like to see the Titan Extreme mode platform become smaller and smaller each time he uses stomp (or jump, maybe they can add some more in) until eventually there's nothing left.

Wasn't there a boss fight in one of the Super Mario games where that happened?

I think Diabolos in FFXI was similar in mechanics... but my memory might play tricks on me.

Yeah, COP Diabolos would spam nightmare on you, while the tiles on the floor dropped. i think i went 1/35 on that fight pre COP nerf.

It will probably be nearly impossible to see anything. I can't wait for PS4, 1080p, and a lot more real estate. The Party List alone takes up a ton of space.

Any details as to what kind of buffs WARs will receive? As a WAR main, im very curious about this little tidbit :D

Hope the melee buffs for monk are decent, can't say good due to this being SE and their oddness at times.

I knew they are buffing melee because bards are relatively strong, but I didn't know they are actually nerfing bard as well. Anyone have more details?

I think they will be doing something with distance and positioning affecting damage

My guess would be that war is gonna get dmg mitigation abilities. Drg is going to have faster jump animation and I think mnk is probably get something to deal dmg when mobs are spamming radial aoe. My guess tho except for drg buff.

I really hope they dont do positioning and distance to brd. That was the worst thing to happen to rng in 11.

Actually I think it added a lot to RNG gameplay. The problem came in not being able to easily determine how far away from something you needed to be. A UI problem, not really a gameplay one.

Super Mario 64. Four stomps = platform turns into a smallish star. Bowser only does this in the final fight. Getting caught in his shockwave attack isn't a big deal until this happens. If you get caught in the wave, you are stunned, which can allow him to burn you with fire. That's gonna make mario jump all over the place uncontrollably and you could end up falling off very easily on the star'd platform.


I think this fight is what inspired SE to setup the titan fight in such a way, but instead of the wave stunning you, it knocks you back.
