Yes, with the perpetrators marking themselves as such unsportsmanly blighters. For reference, here's the word direct from the proverbial horse's mouth.

It may be yet another take on FFXIV's incredible reboot, but it includes some incredibly frank remarks by Yoshi-P and other Square-Enix team members. If nothing else, it's a top-notch documentary produced entirely with crowdfunding, and it's well worth a watch just for its insight into the internal work processes of a top Japanese video-game company.

We're all doomed!

At least here, they appear to be doing one thing SW canon would rather 'repeat' the original trilogy than explore properly...

[MeoTwister5]

Hitoshi Sakimoto Battle on the Bridge OST Shit Yoshi-P I can only get so hard.

A bit sad that Eureka and the next relic won't make it in time for the odd patch; I hope 4.2's savage's release will be staggered....

4.1 Preliminary Patch Notes.

[Chaos2Frozen]

I think the writer for the Dark Knight questline deserves a bonus

[Twi]

Yeah. The other jobs don't quite explore what the Warrior of Light goes through, giving some emotion behind the avatar. And I liked the girl with Dragon's Blood running through her veins.

They kinda did get a bonus -- they're now one of the lead writers. They wrote most of the Doma side of Stormblood (whereas the lead writer wrote the Ala Mhigo part).

So decided to join the Kugane housing rush and spent the last hour choosing the house and calculating the optimal travel path from the Kugane aetheryte login to the plot, factoring in NIN bonus move speed and sprint. Assuming I don't get stuck in queue.

[MeoTwister5]

Wow I managed to score a small plot in Kugane despite having a 1k queue AND playing on Tonberry...

That is my hope also.

4.2 LL just announced Kefka as the final boss of Omega part 2, with Doomtrain making an appearance. Naturally, Dancing Mad will be the fight theme.

Eureka confirmed as open area specifically for Relic hunters.

Also confirmed for January 30, 2018.

so he does have a face behind the armor.

Spoiler for speculation on spoilers for 4.3:

I'm positive Shadowhunter is in fact Gaius Van Baelsar. The white mask on his waist was the mask on Gaius's helmet previously. He was probably used as the body of Elidibus, which is what saved him from the explosion, up until the end of 4.0 when Elidibus discarded it in favor of Zenos's body. Having been betrayed by the Ascians and controlled by one, he took up hunting them down as his revenge.

Same here. If we managed somehow to beat the emperor, he + the Populares will be the bridge between Eorzea and Garlemald in an open war against the Ascians.

Actually

Spoiler for Spoilers:

I think he was never posessed, but after he saw what the Ascion did he may have come to realize that the Ascion are the cause of The Burn and decides to hunt them down. The time between Zeno's body being possessed (split? who knows) and his reveal to be alive is too short for him to have so many masks.
