As I understand it from what pol said.. Rune and Geo are getting Mythic "equivalent" weapons. I'm suprised, relived and slightly confused by this. I've been on the asumption that it would most likely have been added to Nyzule along with the other Mythics. Heck, even the background for one of the existing weapons reads similar to Adoulins plot on how Yaggdrasil was planted by the founder king. While raising new questions about the tree's roots in Ra'Kaznar. I'm wondering now what Delve boss or Skirmish loot they'd have us farming if they choose to go the Oboro route.. God forbid they include, farming P.Warden to go with it..

Aside from that, mission wise. I hope climax doesn't mean that the plot is about over. Right now RoZ seems a little short despite the other half being made up Dynamis and a continuation of rank missions and a "to be continued..?" for after CoP. Adoulin only has Delve (Dynamis with no plot) and Skirmish (Garrison?). It just seems as short, with thin quest fodder inbetween missions.

It's about time they remembered we even had Adv.Fellows. Although, unless they get pet: buffs from gear, on top of matching an iLev weapon. I'd pow-wow with my trust npc's for the simple fact they regen/refresh a lot faster when doing nothing. Also I don't think trust will refresh or cure a spent/injured Adv. Fellow since they are listed in the pet slot.

Expect more disappointment, and Squeenie apologising profusely.

The Fellow system could certainly benefit from an overhaul, but at the same time, I could see getting one to 99 translating to getting a Trust version with all the usual customization options still available at the rendezvous points and accessed by trading the pearl. At least, that's how I'd approach it. :/

Hmmm, wonder what exactly the new categories for each job will be. I'd sooner think they should work to adjust some of the imbalance of usefulness for the existing job point categories, since some are vastly more useful than others.

I was hoping for the FFXIV equipment inventory, but I'll take this. At the very least it gives me more than 2 slots in my inventory for drops... :D

My only (mild) thing about this is...

Why stick everything in a sub-menu? I wish they'd move View House to the first Menu, at the very least, especially with all of these mog bags we're getting.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this system -- one of the best things coming to FFXI since Trusts -- but yet what I have in mind would be merely a small QoL fix that surely shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Currently to access this (or any of the mog bags), you must open your menu.... open it again.... and then go to "View House" and then select the bag you want.

IMO, they should swap "View House" with one of the lesser-used items in Menu #1, such as the Linkshell command.

I mean, seriously, how often do most players open their Linkshell interface?

Or, maybe Region Info (since most people know to type /rmap, /bmap, etc instead).

We access our Mog Sack/Satchel/etc far more often than we use the Linkshell interface, or use the actual button to view Region Info, surely.



Don't forget their promises to allow you to macro several pieces of gear in one macro line.

Basically, this new Wardrobe is the Armory Chest in XIV, and the new Macros will act like FFXIV's Class Equipment Buttons, thanks to the ability to /equip items from the Wardrobe.

PS2 rimitations :<

Well, my point is......why can't we swap "View House" (Which is in Menu #2) with "Linkshell" (Which is in Menu #1) or "Region Info" (which is also in Menu #1)?

We use "View House" much more often than "Linkshell" or "Region Info", especially with this new wardrobe function surely.



My Guess is that this will act somewhat like the cartridge swap feature on the Atari 2600.

For those of you who don't know, the old Atari 2600 had a limit on how much ROM you could actually store on a cartridge. Near the end of the Atari 2600 days, game developers were wanting to make bigger, more complex games. Someone came up with an awesome "kludge" that worked and worked damn well:

The put two cartridges in one! They programmed the cartridge so that only 1 of the cartridges was active at any given time, and when the game needed to access data on cartridge #2, the chip responsible for the switching swapped the two cartridges' data seamlessly while the Atari 2600 doing its thing, unaware of what was actually going on. As long as the data continued to flow, the game functioned perfectly, even though it had twice as much ROM data in the physical game cartridge.

Applying this to FFXI, I assume that when you go to equip something, the game will parse the regular inventory first, and if what you're looking for isn't found in that inventory, it will dump the contents of that inventory and then parse the wardrobe and see if it is in there instead, or something along those lines.

Actually, now that I think about it.........

The inventory limit is not 80, but 160 instead. If it were 80, then you wouldn't be able to simultaneously open the Inventory and Mog Satchel, Sack, etc and swap items between the two. In fact, it is more than 160 -- there's also Temporary Items (what's the size limit on that again? 8? 10? something like that? I forget).

Basically what you're doing is when you go to Equip something, the game will parse the inventory and the wardrobe (but not the Sack, Case, Satchel Mog House, Storage, etc) which add up to potentially 160 combined to find what you're trying to equip.

My curious question is......while items are equipped, do they remain in the Wardrobe? Before, stuff had to be in your current inventory. What happens when your inventory is 80 slots and full, and you have an empty ring slot and equip a ring from the Wardrobe? Does it stay in the wardrobe or can you just simply not equip it until you free a slot in your inventory first?

Or it could merely say "Cannot equip that item: Inventory is full."

But yeah, it *sounds* like you can equip items from Wardrobe, but... call me jaded but I don't want to get my hopes up. If it IS like that, then I will be singing praises. If it isn't, well... I'm not going to Expect it to be, so no big worries. I'll just make sure I got a bit of room before switching equipment, tis all.

Now, if the Wardrobe DOES work like this (that you can equip items directly from there without putting them into your inventory), then every character will gain 1-16 slots because their equipment no longer needs to be in the Inventory.

That's... a pretty big boost.
