Was curious about this, glad I clicked it, and thank you for the reminder on some of these.
Mainly the reminder on how forward they were with the "Outfit Glam" feature, friendly reminder "THE ENTIRE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES ARE A SET" Make sure to change these into an outfit if you have them all like I do, going from NINE glam slots to ONE is ABSURD!
Tbh, as a crafter who's constantly selling from too-full inventories, being able to see the amount of money each retainer has from their menus is huge. I have four, and whenever the game notifies me that something sold it just says the item, not which retainer had it – and since the list of retainers menu doesn't update how much gil they have unless you were logged out, it saves me a step (either looking at sale history or the withdraw gil screen), because if I picked the wrong retainer, it tells me right away that they don't have any gil.
Also, as a healer main, I appreciate that GNB had their Healer Heartattack (Superbolide) skill tweaked lol. HUGE QoL for me, if not for the trolls.
Also also, being able to set. LITERALLY any other title screen than Dawntrail. For one thing I haven't got there yet, and for another I always forget to turn my sound down and get blasted into next week every time the game loads. My neighbors don't need to know I'm playing, thanks.
If no one's mentioned it, the fix with Hrothgal arms is that a lot of gear with puffy sleeves or pauldrons would have them be a lot larger and bulkier on them for seemingly no reason.
I know there's a note about the 999 items in there, but I haven't actually seen any instances where you can buy 999 of an item. Has anyone found any yet?
The outfit glamour feature has freed up so much space in my dresser. Some Jet Black dyes were sacrificed, but I went from 796 items to 644, and I couldn't be happier.
Mahjong voices, for English at least, we need Emet-selch and Zenos as soon as possible!
Yeah still need to zoom in as much as possible as to be able to click on the aetherytes on the minimap.
Soooo doesn't seem all the "prioritized" to me lol
So now is a single player experience. You will not even need to see anyone.
24:00 Important to note that we can now get a free fantasia from a moogle at Mio Khetto's Amphitheatre in Gridania, and it'll only be available until 7.2.
Sucks that your character is still borked, but the free fantasia should still be nice
I noticed the character model change. My female viera and aura nor have thicker legs. I don't know if it is due to the lighting change/bug that came out with 7.1 (at least on PS5), but the character model skin now also looks pretty flat.
Thank you for this fren!
Having to hide nearby players and/or friends when interacting with NPCs because some places are too crowded is wild to me, because on Maduin there's never anyone else around and I have no friends, lol.
The Outfit maker was great for no other reason that being able to condense all of the Emperor's New stuff (minus the MNK weapon and PLD shield) because it made 9 items into 1, and none of them were dyeable anyway.
And yes, female Hrothgar were having gear rigging issues that caused a lot of chest and arm pieces to appear way bigger than they should have, like they were scaled for male Hrothgar instead. They've fixed some of them, but not all, so there's still work to be done there but at least they acknowledged that the size issue was in fact not intended.
I pretty much love all these changes
tl;dgaf
It's not listed, but the Toast, Drink Tea, and all the eating emotes are also affected by the change. Your legs won't return to default like before.
Now the mogstation stuff would be perfect if they made the outfits seperate so i can freaking match gaias heels to other stuff. >>
Started playing again last week after a year break and did the dummest thing ever.. I did a hard dungeon.. My parents didn`t put dangerous in my name for no reason..
It would have been the 2 dyes, but it was stolen by the settings import, that's so sick
8:14 this infuriated me and thanks the universe SE changed this. I was doing MSQ with my alt and ofc I would grab Wondrous Tales book for the exp while doing so. For some miraculous reason I got 3 lines! I was so excited to grab my gold certificates coz I will probably sell it for the next raid tier and get easy millions of gil but to my surprise there is no gold certificate for getting 3 lines. WHY? YOU WANNA KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A LEVEL 100 JOB!!!
Instead, they will give you 20x of 50,000 mgp envelopes. Wow SE thank you for giving me an mgp mount I guess? Sure, the challenges in a <100 wondrous tales book is easier than that of a max level job WT book but the chance of getting 3 lines is super low so I was so mad I was 'not eligible' to get a gold certificate. Haven't picked up a book again since then.
I will say this for the interior design, if you planned to redecorate anyway that is a GREAT way to reset everything.
There are a few in my FC who handle our mansion decor and they'll probably see that as extremely handy.
Ok, I need to go back and look at the patch notes, i had no idea about the sliders and i was looking for the differencesi n game.
Thanks for breaking it down like that! Definitely love less gender locks on clothes and more dye channel options. Also yay! No more of my friends getting spoiled with the “wrong” title screen!
Cannot travel to Balmung, tis a silly place.
finally they added more features from plugins
Hall of the Novice update is huuuuge. Thank GOD
I CAN FINNALLY HAVE MY SORA GLAM!!!!
DRK buffs feel nice. I would definitely consider the cure potency and Living Dead adjustments to be QoL improvements. DRK has always had a slight delay with that and had to rely super heavily on their healer to keep the "Living" part and not the "Dead" part. Living Dead increases healing received by a lot, but this will overall make the DRK's invuln easier to use.
And of course more damage is nice, but not what I'd call "Quality of Life improvements."
The gender lines being a blur in this game really ruined it for the social part. As the new gender queers rival anything that is not walking as a male in females clothes and vice versa. The game died with. Those who made it popular. All who remain are grooming young people into gender bending themselves to fit the toxic gaming community that has evolved in that game.
You have likeable voice and good content subbed lets see how it goes.
Esuna insta cast the only qol i needed bye, and glare IV ofc on pvp is just a ball up killer
I'm so excited for Esuna to be an instant cast for healers to still not use!
To be fair the condensed glam feature, while in itself an okay idea, feels more like a bandaid to a much bigger problem. Sure it opens up some slots in the dresser. For me it was around 60 – not great but also nothing I'd shrug off. The way it was implemented is bit on the insane side, there is virtually no reason why you'd have to take out all the single items just to put them back in combined again. Why is there no merge button on already stored items that does that without taking pieces out? But that also isn't the real problem.
The real problem is that, much like with the armoire, you cannot store these condensed sets without losing rare dyes that you applied to single pieces. If you want to store a piece with rare dyes you still need to store it separately. If I only like the chest piece of a set enough to store it in the dresser in the first place, but I also want it to have a rare dye permenently, I still need to store only the dyed chest on its own. I could now also store the entire set in parallel, but why would I do that and waste an additional slot if I wouldn't ever use any of the other pieces anyway?
As such the usefulness of this feature feels very limited and only hints further at the sad truth behind it. The glam system itself is not good. If you wanna improve the situation without reworking the glam system entirely, then the only way you can really do that is by increasing slots regularly. 800 is not enough. 2000 would be a start. Make it 5000 to stay on the safe side for a few more expansions. We can't really keep adding hundreds of pieces of glam per expansion without increasing dresser slots along with it. It doesn't work.
Quality of life in PvP is i can actually damage people as red mage now
LMFAO Watering the Ocean … Classy Lady
