So the Letter from the Producer for XIV happened.  In it, there was a great deal of outline for the coming large content patch, 3.1.  In typical fashion for this game, a great deal of things are being applied that are definitely exciting.  New dungeons, a new Primal, lots of adjustments to the current jobs and a complete surprise in the form of the Minion RTS game Lords of Verminion.

The whole thing is pretty damned interesting…but at the same time, there are still some questions.  There’s still hopes.  There’s still a list of things that I want this patch to be.  And because I’m VERY eager to write anything that springs to mind as a result of Blaugust, let’s line those out, shall we?

Even if someone will likely write a better lineup than me.

SPOILER ALERT:  This article is going to once more discuss spoilers for the Main Scenario Quest of the game.  If you haven’t played through, please stop here!

WARNING: The following blog post will feature copious amounts of spoilers for the game.  If you haven’t completed this game, stop reading now!

Final Fantasy XIV, as I had stated in a blog posting a while back, has always been an odd bird for me.  It’s a game that pretty much has followed that old themepark formula yet still manages to captivate at the same time.  It’s hardly the perfect game, but it has more than enough things going for it to make it a net positive experience for me.  And so, naturally, I was incredibly eager to play the coming expansion, which not only opened up all of the usual stuff an MMO expansion should, but included my all-time favorite class from Final Fantasy XI, the Dark Knight.
