VNM in general was SE's dumbest idea yet. Even Kirin's warp pads aren't as bad as VNMs. They aren't hard, but they are very very annoying (low drop rates, mob chasing, low chance of color change)

Anyone notice how pimp the SE Drk(homam pants, legs, hands, ebody, ace helm) is versus the lol War(full aurum set)?

*The EXP bonuses afforded by Dedication and Corsair's Roll will not apply within Abyssea.

So anyone know what spells they're giving blu?

Looks like we might be making uncapped (i.e. 200) EXP in Abyssea zones.

/cry yea made me sad, think the sam's in full hachiryu

yay time limitations in abbysea real nice S/E *** ups FTW....

; ; *** still won't come out and tel us what they giving blu ><

Should be like Campaign, as they say anyone out of the party can attack aswell and get the same rewards, but we'll see.

Upon commencing battle with an Abyssean fiend, the attacking party or alliance will lay claim to that foe, and other adventurers will be unable to participate in the fight thereafter.

So anyone know what spells they're giving blu?

The white magic spell "Aquaveil" will now guard against spell interruption a set number of times.

The level 75 restriction has been lifted on battlefields.

A cap has been placed upon status enhancements granted by certain food items.

The following changes have been made to the FINAL FANTASY XI title screen

It seems clear that one of the new spells for BLU is the Howling move the wolves do in the past. So it's a healing move I guess.

Anyone noticed the random blob on the left image >.>?

Doesn't look like it. Seems like it'll put a "battlefield" effect when your party/alliance engages one of the monsters, making it so you cannot receive outside help.

You mean the huge floating snowball just to the left of the dhalmel, top middle-ish?
