  1. So, we can't customize the things inside the houses, but we can place the buildings, upgrade and customize the style… That's… Pretty nice. No housing, but a customizable town of our own with the little, cute citizens/workers running around. That's sounds pretty awesome. A good way to balance both, housing and islands. Plus, the crops, currency exchange, farming… I love micromanaging games, so, that makes me even more excited for the island. However the fact that there's even more stuff in the 6.2, when that island itself can perfectly be a patch on it's own, is actually impresive.

  2. I do not understand why the island is so large yet this is not to replace housing yet you can adjust buildings and change their appearance and I am just like…WTF is Island Sanctuaries supposed to actually BE?!

  3. Quazii used to to go out on dates with the wife and think about raid rosters for WoW in the back of his mind. Now he's going to be thinking of how to make and where to place his house and what crops to grow in FFXIV ๐Ÿ˜›

  4. Oh man, I forgot all about doing the pvp series for that archfiend outfit. While yes it's great we have a chance to still get it after the series, it's obviously a better idea to get it now so it's "free". That said, I hate pvp. The changes made were awesome and made it more enjoyable, yes. But I hate pvp *in general*. As in, I don't play pvp games nowadays. I've developed a horrible mix of being overly competitive and extreme anxiety when it comes to anything related to direct pvp games. Sounds weird but it's legitimately crippling. Like I sometimes get migraines from it. But all that said I'm gonna try and see what I can do before the release because fashion is endgame.

    As for everything else, I'm most definitely looking forward to it all. The next patch is sounding pretty stellar.

  5. Honestly, despite loving most things I'd most excited for the savage tier. It just looks cool, the loot looks awesome, and the bosses so far seem pretty interesting. I mean the tree boss has a triangle arena.

  6. I am so hyped for this! But oh man, the amount of salt in the live letter chat from people on free trial and pretty much "demanding" FFXIV to go F2P model was a bit of a buzz kill. To think that free trial players are upset that they won't have access to Island Sanctuaries is sheer self-entitlement and FOMO. I think the free trial is already very generous. More generous even than any other MMO I have seen in 20+ years that I have been gaming/MMOing. I'm like, "bruh… 'free trial' has the word 'trial' in it. It is not meant to be full access nor "permanent" (even though there is no restrictions on play time), but, "meh" ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚ I can understand their disappointment. Eventually getting you to become a paying customer is the end goal of any "free trial", in any game, even though I know of several free trial players who have pretty much made an entire life in the free trial mode ๐Ÿ˜‚ (playing already for a year, maxed all jobs, did every dungeon/raid, have every mount and achievement up to Heavensward, etc.) Realistically, if you want more from the game, you eventually will have to decide if you're going to become a subscriber or not, instead of demanding F2P. There was even one dude who kept spamming the chat and arguing with people that the F2P model is "industry standard" whether Yoshi P "likes it or not". How freaking pretentious and self-entitled. I doubt that is going to happen, especially since it seems Yoshi-san and team are pretty much carrying most of SE's profits on their backs. The business model will not be changing any time soon. F2P model has always been something companies "resort to" to simply get players into their game and then nickel and dime you for this and that or loot box and gacha bullshit. DDO and DCUO come to mind, as they are my current "side-games" at the moment. The nickel and dime shit is exactly why they are only "side-games" to me and I can take it or leave it if it becomes annoying. A problem that FFXIV largely does not suffer from currently. Been playing 8 years now and with the exception of my monthly scrip, I've only used the mogstation a few times. Mostly just fantasia and a few of the store mounts and glams that I personally wanted. I have not seen a single "buy this" links to the store anywhere in game (exception "dreamfitting", but you essentially have to go to the inn and look for it specifically in the logout window. It requires personal effort and intent to even get there. If you are not looking for it specifically, you won't see it). FFXIV will just become a "side-game" I can take it or leave it if it goes that route of loot boxes and gacha bullshit, like many players do with these 'flavor of the month' F2P games. No, you are not entitled to F2P just because you say you can't or won't spend money on a game.

  7. So far, with the entire 6.X patch cycle, CBU3's hit it out of the damn park with every patch. 6.0, 6.1, and seemingly 6.2 all have an amazing amount of content, GOOD content, that's keeping myself happy for a long time so far.

  8. I think Yoshi P was right to caution people not to get TOO hyped about Island Sanctuary. It looks great for what it is, however there is no fishing it seems (yet! they will be updating this feature) and I think locking the Island Sanctuary behind completing 6.0 is a huge miss. I really can't fathom why they would do that for this feature. They are usually smarter than that. I don't think it should be part of the free trial, but maybe putting it behind Stormblood or Shadowbringers. Still I am looking forward to it. They clearly spent a huge amount of time on this.

  9. I'm a LITTLE disappointed that Island Sanctuaries a WAY more simplistic than I thought, like not getting to choose where we put anything, and not gathering up mats to SLOWLY develop buildings and such. Not getting to decorate with housing items or choose what our buildings will look like. Still, I'm hyped to try it out.

  10. so the way the pvp rewards work i think is if youve earned it during series 1 you have until the end of series 2 to claim. if im reading that correctly. you cant still earn series 1 rewards during series 2

  11. I was. .as heartbroken for island santuary as I was in WoW when we found out the garrisons. .wouldn't be personal housing. Balmung has 97,551 players according to google, 12,727 of them "active" but I don't think that accounts for the players that are having their subscription JUST for their house. I am not sure how many FC's there are. .I couldn't find that. There are 21,600 apartments. There are a total of 720 Larges, 1680 Mediums, and 4800 Small plots with a total of 7200 plots per server. I can't tell how many times I have had to tell a sprout that nope.. no there is no housing for them. .at best an apartment. No house. And how much that crushes them. I am trying to get a house myself. .I got enough money for a large but at best. .I get to enter a lottery for a small one and that was 800 other players doing the same. Housing. .is still atrocious. We NEED more housing! It is so . .awful to get outdoor furnishing to know that as lovely as it is. .the majority of us have nowhere to put it. And will never either unless they fix it. I REALLY thought this would be it! This would be amazing instanced housing! but nope. .nothing.

  12. I hope they add Island Sanctuary upkeep stuff to the FFXIV mobile companion so I can keep things going when I am on vacation. It would be awesome if we can visit friend's islands also!

  13. God damn it.. Wish I liked the art style of FF14. These innovative systems, this team.. it all looks so awesome. Which makes it all the more depressing to look at the state of wow..
