Vana'diel 13th Anniversary
-Behemoth event, fight behemoth and get behemoth costume

The heavy and Mage sets from Esha look nice at least.
Lights set is meh.

And OMG! That babeh coeurl!!! TOO ADORBS!

LOL indeed, the only thing of any interest in that update is the monster babies for the mog Garden.

Quick we need more threads with this topic!

Oooh that was awesome, I was loving that music. The behemoth costume looks awesome lol. They are FINALLY adding that harpy model too or is it Siren.

You must have been too caught up in your arguments on the other thread to notice it in there. Yeah it's Siren.

Warrior and Dark enhancements won't be enough to matter, as always.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD CREVOX.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For so long my mog safe has been full with furnishings!!

Really going to suck if Innin was only useable for ~2 months. lol...

BEHEMOTH COSTUME!!!!!

I thought that was dusk gear >_>

I wonder what this update did to WAR and DRK. Seems minor yet again. Give these jobs a dam THF update and make WAR and DRK just as strong if not stronger than THF!

I noticed you can use trusts in the new zone as well :o

They also said by the end of Rhapsodies, we will be able to summon 5 trusts and that they will be more powerful.

Which will make partying with real folks useless.

poo!

i was suddenly hit with a nostalgia bomb about people running around behemoths dominion trying desperately to avoid eatting meteor. now the animation goes off and ...0 craps given.

If you can find any, that's why they are allowing 5 trusts. It's kinda sad how the game has become into an offline mmorpg with online fees.

Sad but true. Also! after a run everyone just disbands immediately. You don't want to risk of being social or anything!

Why is it that there are no english patch notes? Are they back to not giving a *** about non JP's now?

Because this information isn't coming from the patch notes, it's coming from an independent Japanese gaming article. We'll have the patch notes in 26~ hours just like everyone else.

Also, NA normally gets non-patch note information 3-5 days after JP.

Nahh trusts are horrible players, like the newbist of newbs. They work for low level stuff but against anything worth a damn they fail miserably. They can't optimize gear and their AI is laughably poor. This just makes it easier for casual players to do low level content.

WAR and DRK are incredibly strong jobs with a multitude of offensive job abilities. What they are suffering from is their respective weapons don't have WS's that are anywhere near the current crop of 1H weapon skills. Great Axe, Scyth, Great Sword and Polearm are all suffering from too fTP values that are too low to compete with Sword or Dagger. THF only got suddenly powerful because it's primary weapon got a WS that could be obscenely stacked which the developers eventually toned back down.

OMG Dark Knight is finally getting something that's GOOD for once. Seriously, on DRK I only use MP for Endark/Dread Spikes/the occasional Absorb spell. Consuming mp to increase attack power is awesome as MP is just sitting there on DRK. It's a bit more safer than using Last Resort, with less risk. Now SE, give DRK the same "Darkness" ability you gave Cecil in FFIV and I'll be a happy camper. (SE we are talking about, so that idea is null :/).

Edit: Don't like Souleater, never did and never will like that ability. I mean if DRKs were given Cecil's DRK ability, to consume some HP to damage all enemies (in FFXI terms an AoE darkness effect) that would be so OP.

Also, new spells for the mage jobs is always nice, long as it's not from JP/CP. I hate JP/CP, IMO it was a terrible add, and it needs to die.

Second Floor to the mog house better look nice, someplace I can escape from my moogle who does nothing but spin. Seriously that moogle of mine does nothing but spin all day lol.


And Estha-Zi'tah...ah the grayscale makes me cringe but meh I expressed that distaste in the other thread so I'll leave it there lol.




OMG...why so freaking late? At that point, whats the point? This sh^$% they could have did beforehand... or better...NOW, in THIS timeframe...but to wait til after November...wow...just wow. SE...you are all Bakas.

See but the thing is, 10 people can be EXPing in West Ron and instead of grouping up, they all have Trusts. It's creating separation. But I guess they're just prepping the game for when it dies down. Blah! Idk

?

I'm not so sure about that. I think most people are inclined to either send a tell seeing if you wanna join up, or would at least say yes if someone else asks. The only time I would prefer trusts over inviting whoever is nearby is when I need their healing focused on myself alone in a WKR or something.

Hmmm :P
