FFXIV patch 1.20

December has come too soon, as well as this holiday season! And in my area, it's still warm on some days, haven't seen a hint of snow which makes me kind of sad. But for the gaming world, I'm glad patch 1.20 has been released for FFXIV. For a long time, there was a huge lull as indicated by this blog as well, of not really much to do within FFXIV. But with the coming of 1.20, there were so many additions to content, quests, and fights, I think Square Enix did a pretty good job of wrapping up for the holidays before all their workers take a break from fixing this game.

Also, with the announcement of SE going to charge for the game starting January 6th, 2012, this was good timing to have added such a juicy patch for many to try out beforehand. Well, at the same time, I do hope the billing will help filter out and get rid of trolls and idiots from the game.

The moogle prime fight is pretty amazing. Haven't beaten it yet but it's much more fun than ifrit which tends to be just a running and timing fight. I don't care much for ifrit since the weapons are too ugly for me in my opinion but I really want to try to get all the moogle weapons, or at least the top few that I like, namely for conjurer, archer, and maybe even pugilist though a lot of people seem to think the moogles sticking out at the end of the fists are overboard designs.

I like them just cuz they're simply goofy and overboard. I don't think i'd ever really fight with these except for random exp or stronghold parties. I dont know, but I think they are cute and ridiculous.

I can't wait for mog houses/estates to come. I hear perhaps in the next patch (in February) they will be added but I can't be sure. I guess it's only rumors for now but since people will start to be paying for the game, they better get more worthwhile stuff coming out soon.
