Recorded on Friday, April 5, we talk about Matsuda's plans to restructure SE, the new Software Token has hit the app store shelves, fall head over heels in love with the Viangaa, and in The Big Story, we try to tackle all that juicy information from the Live Letter Part VI. Then we wade through some Dev Tracking, catch up on Aetheryte Camp, and read some letters from the Mailbag.

Orophen is hosting today and although Frei and Rubicon couldn't be around for this one, Premium Virtue from XIVPads.com did a bang-up job as our special guest. He did pretty well putting up with our shenanigans, which is a feat in and of itself. So he definitely deserves a salute. Today's episode? We talk about the released magitek armor screenshots and some great Gridania theme music by Soken, the best composer to happen to FFXIV. We talk racial naming conventions in This Week In Lore. And FFXIV preorder release dates are popping up again in The Rumor Mill. We also have some Dev Tracking and you guys actually sent us some email. We're touched. Naming Conventions Roegadyn Naming Conventions Lalafell Naming Conventions Miqo'te Naming Conventions Hyur Naming Conventions Elezen Naming Conventions Dev Tracking Current Plans for World Transfers We tried something new with the audio this time. Unfortunately there's a bit of annoying background noise. We're still tweaking as best we can. Hopefulyl next week things will sound even better. Just try to ignore that "wub wub" sound if you can. Also, seriously. Go check out XIVPads. It's literally one of the best, if not the best FFXIV site around. Cool community, great database, and some really nice tools. Plus we like the guys there.

He talks about the reasoning behind the current issues with spellcasting with the lag as well as possibilities of allowing us to disable queues in 1.22. Monsters will also lose the ability to cast while moving except for specific ones that have this as a unique trait. YoshiP also suggests the use of Crowd Control abilities to keep the monster in check when doing combos which require specific facing. The issue will be corrected in 2.0.

We're looking forward to Wada doing a whole Gallagher routine for us this time. Patch 1.19 Impressions We discuss our impressions of Patch 1.19 so far. We haven't experienced all the content, so it's not a full review. We'll talk more about that as we get further in the game. Other News New interviews this week, which means new information to sift through: Free Company info, new classes, a Legendary Weapon system, and Ifrit is just too good for those lowly Summoners.

By now, just about everybody already knows about it, so Calaera and Orophen give their take on the upcoming changes. Also, we believe in the real time render, and subscriptions are being reinstated. Yes, it's gonna happen. Yoshida don't even care if you don't pay. Pow. The Big Interviews Yoshida has been making the rounds of all the FFXIV communities and gaming websites, handing out interviews in an attempt to get the word out about Version 2.0 of Final Fantasy XIV. We've picked out a few of the topics we found interesting. We talk about the upcoming storyline that will appear in the game in the months leading up to 2.0. Seamless zones are going away, and Yoshida thinks that's a good thing. And there may be a possibility of playing FFXIV on the PlayStation Vita in the future.

A lot of new information was given to us by Yoshi-P, and although although all of our questions weren't answered, Wada's comedy routine made up for it. Another Big Story FFXIV's Patch 1.19a went live a lot earlier than we thought it would! Powerleveling is getting a bad rap in the forums, and SE ruffles some feathers with a flawed release of the new dyeing system. And also... The first NA Linkshell has defeated Ifrit in Hard Mode, and they just happen to be the second linkshell ever to do it.

Today's Big Story We talk about the patch notes for Patch 1.19 of Final Fantasy XIV, released on September 30. The upcoming patch is a massive and there's a lot to cover here, so there's no way we can possibly cover it all.

Frei returns for this episode, and we've been neglecting FFXI, so this time we have a little chat about the upcoming level cap increase and SE's Job Adjustments Manifesto. But not before Rubicon reveals his sparkly underpants. Orophen mispronounces more words, while Calaera exposes just how much she loves blowing things up. As far as FFXIV goes, we talk about the worst offender in the history of eggplant body fetishes and shiny man-junk, the Fireball Faire event. Yes folks, shiny underoos is an event. And in an encore performance of epic proportions, Rubicon sings the Dev Tracking theme song again. If you don't download this episode, then maybe you should re-evaluate yourself and your place in this world.
