All about FFXIV Patch 4.2.
Glamour Dresser
Players can only access glamour dresser in the inn room. This new glamour system is divided into two parts: dresser and plate. By consuming a Glamour Prism, players can add certain gears to the dresser. The plate is where players can edit 10 pre-made glamours sets. After applying the glamour set, every wearing gear will be glamoured to the every gear set. In other words, when I switch to SMN, some parts of the glamour set will not work if these parts are other role-only/job-only gears. This new system is acceptable but certainly clunky. Glamour sets and gear sets are separated so that I need to choose the new glamour set whenever I want to change the job. No. This system is awful. A glamour set is simply a template. Once I choose it, it will be applied to everything I am wearing. It can be edited only an inn room and is inaccessible outside of cities. I ruined all glamour gears I collected so far except those I bought from Mog Station and put in the armoire.
Seal Rock
This is not 4.2 content. But I’m currently working on Field Commander Coat. I switched to Immortal Flame because they win more times than Adders and Maelstrom. I also meet many new players in this mode. It is quite interesting to see how the new healers try to run away from a group of enemies. It is practical to survive in group fight as a healer. I can solo 2 tanks and 2 DPS as a WHM. Why Mage, Blah Mage, Rez Mage. Communication is quite important in PvP. The Feast forbad chat function because of toxicity. I never played The Feast. In Frontline, however, we usually need a player to give instructions and a player to map the node for us. We might fail the match by having 2 digits points otherwise. Even 1 digit or 0. Toxicity is very common in popular. Losing a match is upsetting indeed. I’m always mad at the team whenever we lose. Actually, I’m always mad.
MSQ
Now we can’t skip cutscenes in MSQ dungeon now. Specifically, MSQ Roulette. Therefore, we sued to spend 20 mins in MSQ, now we must spend 40 mins. It might be helpful to people who are leveling, but as a player who maximized every battle job, it is a pain. In fact, I think forbidding skipping cutscene is not a terrible design choice. I never tried it again since 4.2 had launched. I only heard that players might need to wait 40 mins queue. I think their best chance is to implement MSQ as instanced dungeon like what they did in HW and SB. Zeno is back. Why are you back? Were you dead? Did I not defeat you? Are you a real person or imagination? Are you possessed by the Ascian?
Sigmascape
Raubban Ex is back.
Four Lords: Byakko
It’s …… very funny and easy. I honestly don’t want to grind mount anymore. I already have Astrope.
