3.1 Thoughts! - MBajihri - 11-19-2015
Hey there, everyone! I'm bored, so I'm posting this out of curiosity. What are some of your favorite things 3.1 has brought to the table? Are there any things you feel they've done really well, or could have done better?Â
For me, I really love the new Minstrel's Ballad fight, as well as Saint Mocianne's Arboretum. I feel the dungeon adds just enough mechanics to where it's engaging without being too overbearing.Â
I look forward to reading responses between dungeons!

I love all the content they added, all the dungeons and raids have been really fun so far. I actually and more Void Ark story please, now, thank you.
The only thing that I kind of really do not like, is specialist crafting restrictions. One of my favorite things when I started the game was that I could omni craft everything.

I feel that Diadem is extremely underwhelming, not due to design per-say but due to player usage of it.
I also feel the 3.1 story was underwhelmingly short. While good.. it was short.
I'm still not a fan of Void Ark having 1 piece of gear total per week, and think it leads to wasted drops.

I think it's kinda weird the new dungeons only drop one item per boss.
Other than that I like the new content. Still not done with it all. Currently farming Thordan EX when I have the time to play, on my main.

I enjoy the Diadem but I agree, it's not utilized the way it needs to be. If they had a gathering queue versus a battle queue it'd be a better fit maybe? Just a tweak or so and it'd be much better. And I laughed in the hard mode as when me and my three FC mates went, it was a lonnnnnnnely place.
I think Void Ark is okay, and the story was great but short.
Luckily I am so far behind on crafting and other jobs as I pace myself slowly so I will have plenty to do in the coming time between patches
EDIT: Hell I still have yet to clear Ramuh EX, so....yeah. XD

I agree about the MSQ; it felt far too short to me. On the topic of Void Ark drops, I've seen so many doubles of gear that nobody needs dropping that items are likely to be wasted anyway! (I could see 2 per week being a little more forgiving, but when all items are open, everyone rolls on it anyway!). As per Thordan EX, I'm loving the fight, but finding a solid group is like pulling teeth. The 4-mans are probably my favorite thing so far, design-wise and loot-wise. I like the throwback to an older FF, and I'm in love with the Plague Bringer's gear! Lastly, Diadem has kind of roped me in, but not fully. I love gathering there (As FC mates and I aren't fond of the MB pricings of the new gear) and some of the monsters are fun. I feel it's way too trollable, though. (We've had 3 star mobs up at once and groups would pull them in to forcibly wipe us). That aside, great concept, and I hope to see where they decide to expand upon it!
