Some points of the PLL (personal comments in italics) - new patch Dec 16th - new normal raid tier (Heavyweight) - Savage tier coming Jan 6th, delayed because of Christmas holidays in EU/NA - new Allagan Tomestones of Mnemonics - new MSQ, new dungeon (Mistwake), new trial (Hell on Rails) - weird Doomtrain but I’ll take it - new Unreal (Tsukuyomi’s Pain) - Yes yes YES! - Duty Support added for Dzemael Darkhold, Aurum Vale, some kind of Echo will be retroactively fitted so you don’t have to start the dungeon again? - PvP Series 10 begins, new Frontline map (Worqor Chirteh) & campaign coming - DT relic weapon update, ivl 775, items required will come from various duties that also include the OC - OC Update: 3 new phantom jobs (Mystic Knight, DNC, GLD), beneficial accessories added - new Cosmic Exploration star (Oizys), Cosmic Tool update (ilvl 765) - new Variant dungeon (The Merchant’s Tale) - new Variant dungeon option “Advanced” (has no exploration, only boss battles, 2-4 players) - Variant dungeon overhaul, apparently no Criterion Savage anymore - Strategy Board added!!! - new UI feature: Command Panel, essentially adding 100 hotbar spaces under one button - Glamour update - able to use any glamour on any gear, irrespective of class, job or level!!! (with some restrictions for animation reasons) - This is one of the biggest changes in years, absolutely fantastic, even DoH/DoL gear is free for all! - possibly housing updates (furniture slots and the like, maybe in 7.5)

This question may be rudimentary for a lot of people here, but since Microsoft has decided to stop supporting Windows 10 I have really thought about switching my PC that runs Final Fantasy 14 to a Linux box. So, the question is: Is anyone here playing this game on Linux, and how well does it run?

More of a question for the community here, but now that it has been released and we know a lot more about it, is anyone going to play FFXIV Mobile?

To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?

Been trying to get shaders working through reshade in the game, no luck so far. I can use the CLI installer from here to "install" reshade, but the only functionality it has is for screenshots, and I get two errors from some things not being able to be read by reshade. Trying out different shader presets and packs just doesn't work.

There's maybe one fight that isn't the best, and that's it. In fact the amount of work they put into the effects and presentation is above what we've seen so far.

So I want to say that I have tried to get into FFXIV many many times over a few years. I always got bounced off by how dense the dialogue is and how long it was taking to get anywhere and anything done. I would quit and come back in a few months to try again at my friends behest. The amount of times I've had to stop and google a new word the dialogue said. lol.

In an effort to get some more discussion going I figured I'd ask this here. I'm in a mostly-solo FC right now and I need GC Seals like mad to upgrade my subs. I can't find any post-DT info on the quickest/best route to getting GC Seals. I know I can turn my nut sacks into gear in Old Sharlayan but I'm not interested in that, I'm looking for Unsync'd duties. Any suggestions?
