Dragoon jump time and damage will be increased, and you can move immediately after the jump.
BLM being able to cast flare is considered to be a bug, and should be fixed.
Crystal tower will drop i80 gear and vanity items.
Vanity slots will appear in 2.2
No restrictions to enter Crystal Tower like Coil. There's some sort of ticket you have to get, then you can enter. Once you've gone in, you can get another ticket and go again.
There is really nothing too interesting from Crystal Tower for Coil players other than Vanity gear, but you can collect i80 gear for other classes where you dont have Coil gear yet.
In Crystal Tower, there will be 3 alliances of 8 to make 24 players. When you get a treasure chest, there will be 3 that spawn, each party will get 1, and the loot will split between the members of each alliance/party. Supposedly at least half of each party will get items each run.
Currently you cannot get into Crystal Tower with 24 FC members. You create one party of 8 and basically DF into Crystal Tower with two other parties of 8 that used the DF (this is being looked into in a future patch so that you can go in with 24 FC members)
Crystal Tower will have alliance and party chats.
There will also be 3 paths in Crystal Tower, so the 3 groups will need to split up and complete tasks to complete the Crystal Tower.
AOE's from healers will hit all 24 members in Crystal Tower, so you can easily heal other alliance members.
You will get the same Tomestones from CT as everywhere else, but they may add new ones later.
Eureka from FF3 is planned to be added at a later date, and it will supposedly be an exact replica.
There will be more storage spaces in your retainer, but only for vanity items.
Sort options will be available in your inventory.
That is the patch title for 2.1. A Realm Awoken
Barber price is 2000 gil.
At the barber you can change: face paint, hair, face paint color, beard, tattoos, and eye color may be a possibility at some point. (They were talking about "reality" so i doubt you'll be able to change race, skin color, body size, etc…)
There will be new hairstyles, and more in every patch after.
The Moggle Mog boss is coming, and it is made to be a little harder than Garuda Hard Mode. For this boss fight, there's lots of moogles, each a different job. They summon the king moogle. As before, he has i80 weapons (costumes in a future patch)
Leviathan should be in 2.2, and Ramuh and Shiva in 2.3 (They are for Lv50 so i wouldnt expect any level cap increases soon)
Moggle Mog will have Easy and Hard modes. Others will have easy, normal, and hard modes (i'm assuming Ramuh and Shiva, but maybe all primals?)
(A lot of the discussion is pointing that they are trying to fill the gaps with 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 with i80 gear, the missing primals, 24 man raids, etc… before adding more end-game content)
They showed the Leviathan shield, Leviathan bow, and looked like a two handed axe. All 3 pretty awesome!! But not for patch 2.1
Looks like there will be exp, gil, and tomestone bonuses from using the DF once per day. You also get an addiitional bonus for joining as a missing job (i'm assuming they mean joining a party in progress).
From what i can gather, it seems these changes are implemented to make dungeon's better exp than fates.
Pharos Sirius (New dungeon?) shown on the Duty Roulette high level dungeon slide
"Since you cant get exp at Lv50 you'll get more tomestones"
"For main scenario by helping players you can get bonuses"
Voting to kick players "is coming" for dungeons.
Allagan gear iLevel will be increased from i90 to i95. This was mentioned when talking about weapons so not sure if this is just weapons (came from a question about how common relic weapons are)
Most Impressive Player (MIP) Commendations, where at the end of a dungeon, you can choose somebody who you felt was the most helpful. This will give achievements. Looks like 10, 50, 100, and 500 commendations. So far only achievements are possible from MIP's but they are looking into more rewards.
Penalties will become more harsh for leaving a dungeon party early.
MIP's can only be used when joining the duty finder solo
Looks like you can choose a random dungeon, and it will literally pick any dungeon
Haukke and Copperbell dungeons will now have a hard mode with different routes and bosses, it should be quite different, but i60 (tomestones will drop here). There will also be housing related items that you can get only from these places.
Since routes on some dungeons are now different, there will be a party recruitement feature added to the DF so you can tailor your DF group to what your looking for in the dungeon (as far as path, etc.. not loot).
Dhorme Chimera, Hydra, and Coil will not be added to the DF, but they are planning to add Chimera and Hydra to the DF, but not Coil.
Pharos Sirius is a 4 man dungeon, with i60 gear drops. Its meant to be the first dungeon you enter once you get full AF. The main story took you to the Isles of Umbra but left the story there open, this will pick up on that in the quest to unlock it.
Extreme mode primals follow the story right after Titan HM. The recommended gear is i70 (DL). They showed videos and i can safely say.. I would love it if i could avoid these fights forever………………………………………………………………… They are everything you hated, and then some!
Extreme primals will drop i90 weapons for each job
Extreme primals are available via the DF (gl winning those…. ugg)
The items from hard mode primals like Garuda's Feather are materials for housing. In patch 2.1 these will drop much more often. SELL THEM WHILE THEIR EXPENSIVE! =)
Patch 2.1 is planned to be released on December 17th, 2013. Its already 4 weeks delayed but they are trying to ensure its not delayed any longer.
