The requirements will undoubtedly be ridiculous and not worth it, especially if it's a dramatic change like that along with (what I presume) will be a 15 item level jump to 130.

[Scarlett.]

2.45 confirmed for 9th December!

Job specific Limit Breaks confirmed for Heavensward, New white mage spell, Stonaskin, casts stoneskin on the whole party, instead of just one person at a time.

Q10: In a previous interview, you mentioned that we will able to tackle instanced dungeons by ourselves. Are there still plans to implement this feature?

A10: Yes, there are still plans to implement this feature. While there isn’t too much we can reveal at this time, just to give you a preview, we are currently discussing a new type of content where you will control your own unit for your grand company, add NPCs in your unit, and take them to dungeons to level them up.

Holy **** O_O

Frontlines are to be added to duty roulette (thank god!)

A teaser for the Eternal Bond thing (the sort of marriage, but not really marriage thing)

Weirdly enough, the Level-5 President was on the live letter, and the next Level-5 game announcement was mentioned, I wonder if we can expect a crossover event?

[Scarlett.]

Also, my FC's living room

[Tom4784]

Glad to hear about Frontlines, wanted to try out PVP for a while but the queue times are so long even as a healer.

[Scarlett.]

I managed to get into two matches very quickly last night, but there was only two alliances in every Grand Company, instead of the usual 3. It did make co-ordination easier though, and my GC won!

They're also adding new rules in 2.5, and then a new Frontlines map in Heavensward.

That was a good few years ago, when the original XIV was around (which was a bit ****) lol, the current version is very much worth paying for

[Scarlett.]

The Level-5 boss did some crossover doodles, lol

[Scarlett.]

Got 42 materia infused into my Novus scroll now, need 75 overall. The materia is starting to get expensive though, lol.

I'm just missing the Ironworks chest piece, pants, gloves, necklace and earring now to complete the Ironworks set also, nearing the end of the Ixali beast tribe quests and will only have Sahagin remaining.

So, making quite good progress lol.

Spriggan cap coming in 2.45!

[Tom4784]

I'm settling for the Soldiery weapons until 2.5 comes, the Relic quest line is ridiculous.

[Scarlett.]

The Nexus part sounds quite fun, since all you really need to do to get it upgraded is dungeons, lol. The books (Animus) were the worst part though, those took so long.

[Scarlett.]

Quite looking forward to Revenant's Toll changing

How it changed in 2.25 and 2.35

[Tom4784]

I imagine the patch notes will be released soon.

I await the flurry of wedding invites when I log on tomorrow.

[Scarlett.]

These were just confirmed in the live letter threads on the official forums

New Dungeons
The Keeper of the Lake, Amdapor Keep (Hard), Wanderer’s Palace (Hard)

Looks like we're going here at long last

[Tom4784]

Oooh, another new storyline dungeon? I'm guessing 2.5 will be majorly based around Midgardsommr (or wtf his name is) with the Odin battle thrown in at the end.

I don't like the selections for the hard dungeons though, Dzemael and Toto Rak should have gotten one before any post game dungeons.

I think Odin is actually coming out this month, after the JP fanfest, meaning he wont be part of 2.5, I'm not sure who could be the big bad of 2.5, it could be Omega Weapon.

I also have a feeling that we're going to be going from 2.45 to 2.5 this time, since nothing about 2.48 has been mentioned, and there's no real features to go into it, which means 2.5 might be coming in January.

I'm looking forward to exploring the airship that Midgardsormr is coiled around, I've always wondered what is in there. I don't mind the choices for Hard Mode this time around, they seem to be decent choices. It is possible that we will get a 2.5 Part 2, to lead up into Heavensward, possibly with the final HM dungeons.

[Scarlett.]

I did Syrcus Tower today and finally got sands, its the last sands I need too, as the rest of my equipment is Ironworks. So I'm ilvl 113 now I've also got 49 infusions on the Novus scroll now.

Nearing 60/75 infusions now, getting close! Will be nice to finally equip my relic again, after using Levietinn since 2.4.

Looking forward to the start of the Christmas event on Thursday.
