Can confirm, although HW doesn’t unlock until SB does (i.e. at early access if you preorder or official launch if you don’t)

i caught enough of the live letter today to know i’m done with this game
the combat changes are basically removal of cross-class actions (instead there’s a pool of Role Actions for each type, tank/healer/etc) and not much else. accuracy is gone too. you’ve got fancy blazblue meters on screen for each class to keep track of their class gimmicks instead of needing to stare at tiny numbers on the buff bar.
warriors get FIVE FELL CLEAVES
overall combat flow is unchanged from previous versions, progression is unchanged, etc etc. same game except now you’ve got bigger on screen hud items for the things you’re trying to keep track of.
oh man i was interested if they were gonna streamline combo inputs to one button or w/e. make drg life easier
They apparently did do this!
…For PvP actions
…Which are now completely separate and unique from PvE actions

why even have one or two rotations
why even have buttons
why not just ask players if they think red is a good color or not and give them gear based on the answer
Yes because if this game has one problem it’s that there just aren’t enough buttons on my hotbar /s
Oh thanks for that info, @physical and @LWJoestar, that makes it even easier!
the only reason i ever did pvp in this game was for the armor, because damn the pvp armor sets are some of the best in the game. they know how to make you chase that carrot.

I may get back into this the SQUEENIX sent out an E-Mail blast to anyone who had FFXIV on the PS3 and let them know they qualify for a free upgrade to the PS4 version. Even though I have this on the PC…I’ll probably switch to the PS4 because I bet it looks better
damn…if id waited two moer days for my excitement…its be 28 days later

Sorry for stealing your post but part 2 is out and I’m so hyped to watch it. Well, I’m almost done watching! It’s so badass how they revamped this game. I like the bit about the story going bonkers at the end of 1.0, where the writers had free reign over what they could do. And of course how they worked the events of 1.0 transitioning into ARR into the story. Good stuff!

The “haunting song” and atmosphere at the end of 1.0

just finished the initial main story of stormblood
best yet, easily
i mean, best storyline of all the ffxiv iterations and expansions thus far, benefiting greatly from the history it now has while pushing its frontiers. also one of the best stories told in a final fantasy game straight up.
yes, it remains a mmorpg and very much so… but there’s never been one quite like this as far as i know

I hope it picks up, because I’m just getting into Fantasy China and everything about the conflict and characters is a big step down from Heavensward. I really don’t like the Imperial stuff, particular the boring ass new villain. The Ruby Sea is a really cool zone, though, probably the coolest they’ve done in a while. Already it’s shockingly empty of players, though.
I keep hearing that Stormblood Is the game that will Make You Cum or something, so…definitely, if I eve have money again, I will start playing this
there are lulls (the azim steppe stuff was very boring), and if you’re not interested in a dead-eyed bishounen emperor-prince in weird amano/giger armor imposing bizarre and vicious tyranny on all people as the primary impetus for revolution then… ymmv. the music takes it a long way. i’m a big sap and i cried toward the end of it all.
yeah, i noticed a weird lack of players in some areas. i think that has something to do with the new instancing, or maybe even more of that going on than it seems, or something, because as i got further along in the story i saw more and more and more players. kind of weird, but the effect was cool.
this sounds like all i’ve ever wanted out of final fantasy
