Not sure if they’re supposed to be the new dungeon gear or the new Arcadion gear.

Also here’s a thread containing all the info from the liveletter so far.

Man it sucks that the new raid is BA 2.0 rather than Castrum Lacus Litore. Its impossible to just join one on the fly.

Like they are really killing the casual content.

I wouldn’t really call the Field Operations “casual” content considering how grindy they are.

Its something you can pop in and pop out of, gear doesn't matter or anything. Its drop in and out makes it some of the most casual content.

With Castrum and Dalriada, it just pops up every so often and you can get in with whatever group you got going at the time or find a new one quick. Then the raid also had a normal and savage versions.

Meanwhile BA and this new one, it requires you to either have 47 more friends or join a discord and get on a waiting list for a specific time a week from then and pray you are able to play just to get in. Its the least casual content in the entire game.

I've got to knuckle down and grind out PVP over the next 10 days, I'm sitting at Rank 7 right now.

I was hoping to run Rival Wings (and get free moogle tomestones), but for whatever reason people don't seem to be running it this time. A couple of Moogle Tome events ago it was popping midday even.

But since I can't get a match even at optimal PVP time I'll need to just spam CC matches.

[up][up][up]It's my understanding that Bozja is more popular than Eureka for multiple reasons, Castrum and Dalriada being much easier to run being only one of them. (The xp grind is way more of a reason, because god knows that the next deep dungeon will be a hellscape to grind xp in)

[up] x4 There was content like this in Bozja too, Delubrum Reginae. There also were CLL & Dalriada. It's not an either/or situation.

And what they wrote about Forked Tower makes it look like an improved version of Castrum Lacus Litore when it comes to tagging. You'll only need 16 people (helps people who play at odd hours - it was hard to tag for Castrum if you are a night owl or on a weird timezone for your server at release), and presumably you won't have to wait for the 30 min timer: if 16 people get in and want to start the raid, they'll be able to do so earlier. And if you missed the start for some reason, you won't necessaril have to wait for long until 15 more players are in your situation and tag. Looks much more flexible.

And if the zone becomes a bit empty over time, they'll lower the requirements to 4/8 players I assume, like they did with Castrum, Dalriada & Delubrum. That looks honestly good to me.

[up] The #1 reason Bozja is more popular is because it is way less punishing and more practical than Eureka.

  • There is no level requirement to do content and to gain experience (while in Eureka you are pretty much of no use in a FATE that too high level for you, you'll just die in a loop)
  • It's relatively easy to travel in Bozja (it's hell in Eureka until you max out your level in one zone)
  • Death is much less punishing in Bozja, which encourages taking risks
  • You can't desync your level in Eureka, meaning somebody who maxed out the zone can't help a new player because he'll suck up all xp in the party
  • Also you can level up your jobs in Bozja, not in Eureka.

As for the Deep Dungeon, honestly, if it's like Orthos it clearly won't be a "comfy" level up method like POTD or HOH can be. Orthos 21-30 is truly tough compared to the other spammable options. If you level up there, it's probably because you're trying to increase your aetherpool as well.

They did say that the upcoming deep dungeon will be there as a quicker way too level up from 90 to 100 so I imagine it will be somewhat simpler

Not sure, "quicker" does not mean "easier".

As it stands the "quicker" way to level up from levels 15 to 50 is to run dungeons with your GC squadron, but it is by no means the "easier" because you need to figure out how to control this bunch of idiots.

I assume that once you level up your aetherpool, speedrunning through the dungeon is going to be optimal - but you might encounter a dread beast or a super nasty floor nonetheless to slow you down (or straight up murder you).

So does anyone have any guesses as to what Solar Bahamut is supposed to be?

...I miss job lore.

Some people speculate it's a Hydaelyn stand-in, largely due to its super big attack being called "Exodus", plus the spells it lets you use being "Umbral (i.e. light) Impulse" and "Umbral Flare"

My guess is that the Warrior of Light saw a poster for Kingdom Hearts somewhere and got inspired to pull a Bahamut that looked like he was from Kingdom Hearts out of their ass.

Don't tell me Bahamut Sword doesn't look like a KH Heartless/Nobody boss, because you'd be super lying.

It looks like Bahamut from XV and Stranger of Paradise than Kingdom Hearts.
