I met some people whom I told that I had transferred recently, and they asked me why I had transferred to join the FC I was currently in (ISIS). I told them it was a religious thing.
After no visible reaction, I told them in was joking, and they "assured" me they were laughing behind their computers. >_>

Couldn't really get into the old grind at cap and didn't have time to join in the old raid groups with my job situation at the time, but man the amount of content they put out and how great it looks makes me wish I had more time/money to sub to another game sometimes (this one again).

They have a lot to make up for with the FFXIV 1.0 shit they threw on everyone. I think they are rapidly paying off that debt though. Definitely looking forward to it, and agreed on the content. Really, it might be an "easy" game, but there is a ton of shit going in at a nice pace. I hope it stays like this for years.
Was talking with someone about the game who hasn't played in a while, and he didn't realize that all of the hard modes are new bosses / content, not just buffed up versions of the normal modes. What's the total count of level 50 dungeons / raids / trials / pvp up to now?

Yeah they are doing a disservice calling it "Hard Mode", and "Extreme Mode". It would be cooler to maybe take the lore/backstory provided and call it something else, like "Copperbell Mines: Hecatonchires Arise" for normal, "Copperbell Mines: The Missing Miners" for hard, etc... or something like that. By just going Hard -> Extreme -> Ultimate -> Brutally Hard -> Ultra Mega Super Hard -> Super Saiyan DX-GAIDENmkII TRUE SELF MODE, they are just doing a disservice to themselves as it sounds like its just the same thing, simply harder.
Oh well, that's just nit-picking I guess.

As of 2.5:
- 17 Lv50 dungeons (counting 'Hard' modes but not Main Scenario)
- 6 raids (3 Coils, 3 Crystal Tower)
- 20ish trials ("8" primals each with Extreme*, Ultima Weapon, Gilgamesh x2, Ultros+Typhon)
- Frontlines (24-72 player PVP; each GC fights), and various level-ranged 4v4 arena queues
* I'm assuming Odin will have an Extreme mode as well.
Yeah that always threw me off too, hard modes being totally different dungeons.

Preliminary patch notes are up:
Patch 2.5 Notes (Preliminary) | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone
Important bits for people who can't read that(can't really copy paste because of shitty website).
They're nerfing the nexus light grind and increasing the alexandrite fate drops, which should make the relic upgrade shit less painful. Books are still gay though.
They're adding a drop to ST/CT, which most likely will be used for crafting.
They're adding new tools(the fuck) for crafting. Named Lucis tool, they'll most likely replace Supras. For gatherers, it seems to involve HQ antumbral/redolent(the shit you farmed for supra). Also the new aetherwheel shit is Alchemy.
There seems to only be one difficulty for Odin.
New PvP map.
New content seems to be: World of Darkness(i90 required), the 3 dungeons(i90 required), Gilgamesh "EX"(i90 required), Odin "EX"(i95 required), Omega Weapon(i90 required). Omega is hidden but the quest requires to defeat the 3 original primals, so it makes sense it'd be something like that rather than something else.
No mention of carbontwine/carboncoat to upgrade items in WoD drops, so might come later.

Are you all still on Gilgamesh? I played for a few months when the game started, think I got to level 38 or so.

Yeah it's the same servers. I don't have a PS4 but I grabbed the game for cheap on PS3 and gonna upgrade it to PS4 for when I buy one and want to do like TV grinding or whatever.
Game's still mostly a wow clone though, with slower GCD. There's a trial on PS4 anyway so you can see for yourself.

I'm playing on Ps4. I love it. I had bought it on PC when it first launched, so I can play on both platforms with the same account.
Some things are better on Ps4, like grinding, gathering, single group dungeons, but I think more "complicated" stuff is better on PC. Also depends on the class. Most DPS do pretty well on Ps4, but try being a tank or healer, and most like the additional control that a PC gives with keyboard/mouse.
However, you can plug a mouse/keyboard into your Ps4, and it works flawlessly on Ps4, so can just do that if you want.
