NuRhoSquared: Considering how the Feast rewards were re-implemented through ranked PvP, forgive me for not thinking tying rewards to a ranking system is a good idea in the slightest.

Because if there's a reward tied to someone being considered "better", there will always be those who ruin it for everyone.

MetalOWLD2-lt7io: RIP. So no normal players gonna get that mount, only the crazy try hards who got no real life

chromedbadger: I wonder if they've taken automation into account for content in that top 300, it being solo and 14 fights being scripted makes me think that its guaranteed that a full auto plugin will come out like for Cosmic Exploration.

astrealove1: Only to get abandoned in 8.0.

bloodyninja2411: Whip yes please so I can be the dom I've always been

some-person-at-a-keyboard: Is that a mount in the thumbnail? That thing looks gaudy.

mengdong1909: The six consciousness is the direct translation of the jp name for spoken class of mobs, so like the beastmen

FieldMarshall3: I hope they lean more into this semi-roguelike mode they showed. It has a lot of potential to work well in FF14 with a little work. If they can get the rewards right and make the temporary unlocks fun with different combinations and synergies then i can see it being something i'd play for fun and not just to "get it done".

It has a lot of potential, not just for Beastmaster but just in general. Imagine a FF14 "slay the spire" where you start with a single basic attack ability, and as you complete fights you pick between 3 abilities selected randomly from all the jobs. Building your character with combos as you go. Add in the ability to upgrade abilities and temporary equipment that provides synergies and bonuses and we might have something really fun. I think it could work.

PieRatesP13: the fact that it got scrapped then redone really rubs me wrong

Beastmaster is a DT hype point for crying out loud

DerioTheArtist: Really wish they went a combination of turn based when going against other beast masters and regular when going against everything else

mengdong1909: For the mount qustion near the end the translation wasnt quite right, what was said bu ozma was that they had prepared a few of the pets as reward for 7.56, so expect a few mounts in the reward for bst as well

RockR277: I wonder if they'll have all the NPCs yell "Thal's balls!" if you have a beast out near them

denhamwall174: I got so hyped at the free trial announcement for FFXI I tried to log in and it said my accounts free trial was over. So I started HorizonXI and I'm loving it...

If I'm not locked out of free trial when it gets expanded I'll give it another try. But I haven't been able to confirm if my former free trial account can easily shift into the extended...

NormsRespecter: 4:12 I'm hoping this means we might see turn based RPG stuff at some point, maybe a Field Operation

sepheroithisgod: Wow, I'm actually really upset to hear that they cancelled the turn-based version.

tomanegiora1100: I would have rather a title or maybe an adventure plate tied to ranked rewards versus an entire mount... especially when it comes down to the top 300 players per data center. Hell, it could have just been top 300 by world, then it at least feels a little more fair. However, with the games history of people botting/finding ways to cheat their way to the top ranks is ripe to happen once more, and I feel the mount will become something people lose motivation to go for before the content even launches. I'll try for the mount myself, but with a full time job and other responsibilities I feel like I won't stand a chance against others with way more free time.

Shinbu150: We all know the real reason why they wouldn't put a whip as the weapon. Just look at what the community did with portraits and plates lol.

soldierorsomething: Top 300 in PVP is rather easy in EU, so im sure i can get top 300 for beastmaster rather easily

Aiella_Mori: im so sad they scrapped the turn based combat :(

blackwhistyle: First

n00k3y4: Ranked mounts good

anjoumaaka: I won't be even unlocking the job, ever, period, if it does not launch with a level cap of at least 70. They even canceled the blue mage update for this and are still planning on releasing it with a beyond unsatisfactory amount of access to content. The level of disappointment here is the first I've ever seen from a game developer actually surpassing the disappointment level that was Dungeon Siege III. It's pathetic. I'm half tempted to vote with my wallet and just cancel my sub over it.
