So much for that! I'm actually excited for the 24-man roulette since I've never done any of them.

Prepare for endless people complaining how terrible everyone else is... even on the first day!

This seems like a meaty patch, might be time to resub.

i'm actually so happy they are improving this feature.
Actually feelign like a leader with my own team ( and not just friends ) will be nice.

I just don't really see the point of introducing this/investing in the tech, etc other than to eventually phase out dungeons being multi character content once the game's population dies down enough and nobody is willing to do lower level content so that new players always have party members in dungeons. Redoing low level dungeons except this time with AI instead of human beings doesn't seem that exciting to me.

How many MSQs do these patches usually have? It feels weird being caught up.

It's been a little all over the place, ARR patches were in the 15-20 region whereas HW was closer to 10 quests a patch. Although despite having less quests I feel as though the length of the HW patches was about the same as the length of the ARR patches, but it's been a while.

i like the act of building a team. even if it's the answer of the low level dongeon , it's fine , because those are BORING ( especially for the HW ad SB jobs )..
What is the point of the squadrons , right now ? to get those lv 40+ items for boosts ? They need to improve it so i welcome any change

Ya I get what you are saying, it's something for you to do with your Squadrons. And honestly, I don't know what the current point of Squadrons is. It kind of just replaced my beast tribe dailies as my "dailies" content.

The thing about beast tribes is they provided additional lore/quests/exp/minions/mounts. I never really felt rewarded for Squadrons.

It's a "planning, screenplay, and production" studio. Official site cites Return to Ivalice in Final Fantasy XIV and Lost Order as projects.

It is like FFXIV's version of Adventuring Fellows from FFXI.

Why? They're right.

Hildebrand is the only reason I am booting up the game again. Glad that my six month sub I got when SB launched will be getting use after being away for three months...

I'd be excited for housing in FFXIV if you weren't held hostage by it every 45 days if you wanted to take a break.
