Few highlights that I found interesting:

• Alliance Raid is coming in the first patch.

“In patch 7.1, we will be having the [FF11 crossover] alliance raid Echoes of Vana’diel, and we are also creating a 24-person savage which is shaping up to be really good.”

• They built it with expected wipes in mind.

“When a player goes through on their first playthrough they will probably wipe three times – this was what we felt was a good line to draw.”

• “24-man Savage” will be different content from normal.

“On the other hand, the 24-person savage – this is going to be a completely different boss. So it is going to be completely different content”

We do plan to continue working on expanding functionality for people who love their fashion. And with regards to the two dye channel system, we still haven't updated all of our previous assets for the system, so we are working on that, and we should be able to finish all of the existing assets by patch 7.3. That is our first goal right now. But after we get through that, then we will be thinking about what to do next.

Nothing big, but the notable parts are:

• European AWS data center closed.
• Tuli and S9 no longer instanced.
• 30 minute logout system disabled.
• Bunch of bugfixes.

Lastnight the game came under DDOS attack yet again. I’ve not been able to log in this morning to see if this has been resolved yet but they’ve not reported the recovery on The Lodestone so I’m assuming it’s still ongoing.

Reading through her credits, wow did she voice a lot. The biggest one for me personally is probably Bayonetta. Would have never guessed that the same woman also voices Merlwyb.

This is largely a silly post, but I'm curious if anyone has any fun conspiracy theories. Like why does Tataru need that knife on her belt? Is it because she's got some NEFARIOUS dealings going on to get all that money?

More so, I just wanted to see if anyone else believes that the Random Mount button isn't fully "random." I swear I see the same handful of mounts summoned more than others. If I see the Manacutter or Yol summoned ONE MORE TIME, I swear...

Seems they're having technicaly issues not only with the account managed, but also the mobile app backend. At least according to the lodestone news.

I have been playing for about a month, and this game is amazing. There is so much content!

That's it.

This game is dope.

It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts!

For me, I actually really enjoyed not being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly.

The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing!

I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet.

But what about you all?

I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones.

Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.

Some information about upcoming job adjustment.

In particular interesting is that they listened to the specific request of adding artificial emnity to the now-damage-less gapclosers of GNB and DRK, and that they are once again wasting the chance of giving Astro an actual mobility tool in favor of further baking Lightspeed into the 2m-burst. Sigh.
