    we have absolutely no idea yet. the benchmark has a few new animations, but... not much info.

    Been poking around the internet, and it looks like if you want to "win" at the benchmark (Maximum/dx11/70+fps) you need an i5/i7 that's at least 3.5GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 770 with a couple gigs of VRAM.

    Nope, and I wouldn't expect any sort of solid information to be coming out until the expansion is actually released.
    We don't know how many skills and what they are but we do know that they are substantial enough to change how we'll be playing the jobs

    I think this is my final one for now, at least until they add in the rest of the options:

    tmpL3F1.png

    Wait there's gonna be more options?

    WHEW.

    I was getting worried because the lack of ANY Scale color options was a huge bummer.

    No idea what the options will be, but supposedly Yoshi P said in an interview that the current options were only half of what was coming. He said "Players can make half their character now, and the other half when the expansion comes"

    Right now we can only make the outside.

    Also I just wanted to check, as a tank is there anything you can do for the golem boss in Qarn when he goes on his wacky rampage? The threat meter would show me as RED but he would still be just running after my team mates after he first would fall down.

    Clearly BLM will get Flare 2, Flare with a Vengeance, Live Free or Flare, and a Good Day to Flare as their abilities.

    Nope. He has no aggro table at that point.

    Hard taunt? Like a taunt that locks the monster to you for a period of time no matter what?

    In light of the recent info about how a "ghost" can appear with a very small chance for a few seconds it seems some people have been trying to capture it on video.

    It looks like this person managed it!

    Note there are some spoilers in there about a couple of the dungeons, sorta.

    In the King Moogle fight, either the the WAR or PLD moogle has that ability, so it's not outside the realm of reason.

    There has been some speculation that the 'Kefka' boss from AK hard and her ghost will show up in the inevitable Ampadoor city hardmode, since both fights had that "not quite dead" ending.

    That's not really telling though. Mostly because King Mog pretty much stayed the same between 1.0 and 2.0.

    Seeing as I'm still getting back into the swing of things, I'm having a hard time finding a place to level my newly 30 dragoon. I went to Coerthas and the Levemete there only gives level 35 Leves. There doesn't seem to be a Levemete in North Shroud, even though the enemies are level appropriate.

    Where should I go to level at 30 to level my dragoon.

    Note: I already have a 50 class so my leveling options are pretty much hunts, leves, logs, and dungeon roulettes.

    I think Costa Del Sol is 30-35.

    Depending on gear and with your choco out, you should give some of those 35 leves a try.

    I've put in a couple of solid days of questing far and I haven't even reached Shiva. THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT.

    I confess I've been a little distracted by chocobo racing.

    Red Cat and I are hung up on the Atmas. I have 11/12, but I have 5 of the 11th and she doesn't have it yet. The frustration is palpable.

    Also there's not much point, since I'm pretty sure you take a penalty on XP for quests that are higher than your level.

    I never said it was going to happen, just that the ability exists in game. Albeit for a boss mob.

    you can't do the turn-in part at all, though.
    i kept getting stuck on the main story because i wasn't high enough level to turn quests in after completing them.

    afaik, you take a slight penalty for killing, crafting or gathering things more than a certain amount above your level, but it's usually a wash because their base xp is also higher.
