They're watching the trailer again and commentating over it.

We see Ruby Weapon, Gaia, Ramuh, Cid fighting, there's a lot going on.

YoshiP has been talking about mods and third party tools for the past few minutes. SQEX/FFXIV team's stance is to not use these as they are against the ToS.

There was also talk about a tool that places waymarks automatically and was used in the Alexander Ultimate fight. YoshiP says you should not use this.

The new waymark/field marker system. You can have saved presets. However, you can only place waymarks at the start of battle, not in the middle.

Job adjustments will be made, but they won't be detailing them anymore in live letters or prelim patch notes.

Adjustments to crafting actions will be made. Changes made to when fish bite, you won't have to pay attention to the rid anymore. Ocean fishing will be shown later.

Alliance Quests will be added to New Game+, Free Company rank will be increased to 30. You'll get a larger FC Chest with higher ranks.

Ruby Weapon

Cinder Drift (Ruby Weapon) is part of Gaius' back story and will continue in future patches.

Job Adjustments
