  • New Aht Urhgan info from Famitsu

    Warning: spelling of FFXI-specific stuff is probably wrong, as I am transcribing it from katakana for now

    BLU:
    - casting magic uses MP, each magic also has level restrictions
    - special ability "Argel Law", increases effectiveness of blue magic for set time
    - ability "Blue Chain" allows you to use physical-type blue magic in skillchains
    - ability "Blue Burst" allows you to use magic-type blue magic in magic bursts
    - status of char changes depending on the blue magic chosen
    - lv75 sword skill: 269 blue magic skill: 276, (could be affected by magic equipped though)

    COR:
    - Phantom Roll: strengthens party members, can also "Double Up"
    - Phantom roll affects jobs in the following way:
    WAR -> dmg accuracy up, WHM -> healing MP up, BLM -> mag.atk. up, RDM -> mag.acc, up, PLD -> counter damage, RNG -> acc. (both) up, SMN -> refresh, COR -> exp. up, other jobs unknown for now
    - Quick Draw: weakening magic on enemy
    - Wild Card: allow party members to reuse their abilities

    PUP:
    - Maton (the doll) can be called like wyvern, using "Stringer"
    - You can control your maton with items
    - Maton will disappear when HP runs out but you can resummon or repair it
    - You can change maton equipment - there are 12 types of "attachment", for head and frame parts
    - graphics change according to equipment
    - according to equipment, the maton changes skills in "white soldier", "firing soldier", "magic soldier" areas

    New areas:
    Gadarba floating lake: looks like Zi'tah

    New NPC:
    Beastman Mercenary "Gesshow" - Yagudo.

    New equipment:
    Beruan - self-defence equipment
    Igito - mage equipment
    NPC equipment revealed in besiege mode can also be equipped

    New weapons:
    Janviar - gold dagger
    Amuhd - 2H axe with three gold points
    Mezarak - 2H pole with 4 way spikes
    Algor - legendary great sword

    Other bits:
    - field and dungeon music will be new
    - region menu will change a lot. Aht Urhgan region map revealed... separate map to rest of VD.
    - "unconfirmed items" will be from Assault only?
    - Assault is for 3-6 people
    - Besiege NPCs cannot be cured, they can also be captured and kidnapped
    - There are mogs in Nashmo town

      Wow, that could be really cool. Especially for things like SATA, Barrage, Unlimited shot, and Meditate. I wonder what the recast will be on it.

      Hmm, still no good RNG jse. Ah well, maybe in a later patch.

      Did you add the "?" ? I think it means the items that have to be appraised.

      Btw, thanks Jonny. Nice find.

          Thx for the info

          Wild Card could be very powerful in a right set-up.

            puppetmaster is leaning towards dragoon in gameplay it looks like but with more custimisation with the pets. Corsair is strangly becoming more appealing.

                I wasn't interested in any of the new jobs until I read this! Now COR is looking pretty good to me lol

                  wow! thanks for the info Jonny

                  this sounds particularly sweet
                  COR -> exp. up
                  also interesting to note that BLU has a A- skill rating with swords. that puts it into melee category there.

                  anyone think the puppet sounds like a suped-up Fellow NPC besides me?

                    Oh! Now I can't decide on which job to level first! Their abilities all sound equally as good! ><

                      Current fav job: Corsair. Gonna try to see how far I can solo PUP just for the sake of curiousity. Leaving BLU for a later time since a WHOLE LOT of my ls mates wanna go BLU lol

                        Thanks a lot Jonny, I was hoping Famitsu would have something this week since it's so close to release. BLU and COR are going to kick butt I think, I'm still quite confused on PUP though.

                        Thanks anyway!

                              COR sounds like a ranged version of BRD kinda with dif skills

                              Which FF Character Are You?


                              And you, wich Final Fantasy character do you resemble?
