Considering this was at TGS, this was a really weak livestream. Kinda feel bad for anybody who stayed up for this. Didn't even do any Q&A.

Patch 3.1

- "November".
- Patch Title: As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness: FFXIV Patch 3.1

Other Stuff

- Mudra Lag: Some kind of change will be made to fix Mudras.
- Void Ark: Exactly like CT. 24 Man. 3 Tanks, 15 DPS. 1 gear + 1 dip/twine/coat per week.
- Airship Exploration: Seemingly Dynamis inspired. Team up with an alliance and just kill tons of really strong monsters. Weakest monsters about the strength of an A rank hunt. Islands are not instanced, can run into other groups.
- Gear will be up to i210 Aetherial with completely random stats and visuals. Chance of getting extremely powerful gear via random choice of stats. Visuals and stats not synced; chance of getting crappy looking gear with amazing stats. Unwanted gear can be traded in for some kind of points.
- Lords of Verminion: Deployment cost for minions, is refunded when minion recalled or defeated. Types: Poppets, Monsters, Critters, Gadgets. Minion strength/weakness wheel: Poppets > Monsters > Critters > Poppets. Gadgets have no advantage or disadvantage. Will have a ranking and matchmaking system to be back-ported to Wolves Den.

There was an image of some new housing design, did they say anything on housing or just flashed pictures?

Yea, with 3.1 in November there's already FC leaders talking about how scared they are of losing the players they gained back with 3.0 due to lack of real content. It's pretty devastating.

Also, the new relic was confirmed for 3.1 I thought?

Relic wasn't mentioned today. Last time it was mentioned they said it'd be 3.1x -- not certain if it'd hit the initial 3.1. I'd actually rather it didn't. Don't want to worry about the relic grind right as actual new content hits.

Yikes.

I wish we got the shield as a housing item. It was given to us but not really, maybe it comes up in the story again later.

The Relic in 3.1 was mentioned on a few threads on Reddit and the unofficial translation of the live letter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYM ... view?pli=1
