I'll be in the middle of something at work when it starts unfortunately, so no info posted while it's on.

So far what I've read... Looks like no vanity until 2.2 (according to comments) Info on Extreme Mode Titan • Triple criss-crossing landslides • Double gaols • Titan egi adds • GIANT tumult Existing iLevel changes • Allagan gear and/or weapons going to iLevel 95. • Possibly Myth Gear/Relic +1 weapon as well, sources vary. • AK being reduced slightly in difficulty and possibly iLevel to match WP more closely. Extreme Primals • Must have completed Titan HM to access • Minimum iLevel of 70 to enter. • Quested iLevel 90 Weapon for completion of all three. • Furniture material drops (different from HM drops). • Some other drops, Yoshi P didn't want to specify, but said it was something you could 'brag about'. Ultima • Unknown whether they will label/tune it as a Hard or Extreme Fight. • Unknown drops/etc. Pharos Sirius • iLevel 50 Minimum (AF Gear). • iLevel 60 loot Hard Mode Haukke Manor & Coperbell Mines • iLevel 50 Minimum (AF Gear). • iLevel 60 loot • Map/Route, Boss, and Mechanics changes between Normal & Hard modes. Moggle Mog • iLevel 80 Weapons • Difficulty somewhere around/above Garuda HM. Crystal Tower • No 24-man pre-mades • Minimum iLevel 60. • iLevel 80 loot. • 3 Chests per boss, 1 per party (individual party loot pools). Duty Roulette • Tome bonus for random dungeon in each category. • In the live letter, tome bonus was ~200 philo, ~10 myth.

According to the official qa thread, it's just allagan getting the bump

Pretty shitty, then. And that's coming from someone with like 4 pieces of allagan. Stuff looks dumb as hell. Info on Extreme Mode Titan: * Triple criss crossing landslides * double gaols * titan egi adds * GIANT tumult Also Ultima will have a Hard Mode

I keep updating my first reply to ket's post, but this stands out... absolutely excellent way to get philo. Duty Roulette • Tome bonus for random dungeon in each category. • In the live letter, tome bonus was ~200 philo, ~10 myth.

Good news for melee, bad news for BLMS. You should add all the bits about the JOB changes. Melee getting 10% buff, MNK getting hints at changes (likely Greased lightning duration increase) Jump getting 10% Buff and animation decrease. Double flare getting 'fixed', possible utility tweaks for BLM, etc. Otherwise, great compliation!

No 24 man premades or CT makes that a lot less exciting

I'm going to be the optimist and say that they want(ed) to offer this, but that it's just not making the cut for 2.1. Seems like a really stupid stance to take otherwise. I could totally see S-E not figuring out logistically how to get it done (In spite of having months of advanced notice) haha. I'm still excited about CT, though, simply because it'll be a great way to gear up jobs you'd enjoy farting around with on token farming dungeons and such, without having to invest Myth into it. Those "I kinda want to screw around on BRD, but I know I'll be gearing up PLD after WHM for Coil" type situations.

I read the CT stuff as at the moment you cant make an alliance (3 groups of without duty finder but they will be adding this later - think it was in that Q&A i linked. So yea its just a case of it hasn't made the cut yet, so perhaps for 2.2 (or 2.3 when they will add more CT content) Rid stop editing your posts :p on the myth stuff it looks like coil will have the best gear in the game and de-values myth a lot unless your someone that never gets to do coil.

Yah, really not happy about that. The Allagan stuff is passable, I guess. But it'll just be like Darklight all over again, where we have even less armor differences between the classes, and we'll all look like generic brown blobs. SMN/BLM, WHM/SCH, PLD/WAR, only differing in weapon is so boring.

Totally agree one of the main reasons my brother stopped playing (for now) is because of the rubbish armour as he likes stuff like that to look cool - his other reasons at least look like they will be sorted out

We'll see how the translations hold up and see what ultimately happens in 2.1. haha

Yah, 3 separate landslides from Titan at once during the bomb phases will be quite interesting.

Quote: According to the stream, Yoshida did in fact mention this upgrade to item level 95 was to be for Allagan weapons only due to the difficulty of turn 5, whereas the text on the Japanese and English Q&A post indicated equipment in general. Just to be certain, we will double check with Yoshi-P and let you know for sure.
