It was a joke about FFXIV being delayed to 2012.

But I guess FFXI being so late in its life, I guess this change gives it a few more years of life, plus it forces to hardcore to go back and level up more subjobs.

They just said everyone attending vanafest will be 1st into the beta...

EDIT: MARCH 11 IS BETA!!!!!!!

Re: Over 9000... er... ok, Over level 75 - New cap 99 o.o

March 11 is JP beta start, nothing was confirmed about US yet. Makes sense of it go forward in stages, though.


Some job adjustment bits:

DRG to get new Jump, new wyvern abilities being considerd

BST getting new Jug pets and various materials for certain jugs will become more accessible. A Snarl-like ability is being considered for charmable pets (Snarl II for non-jugs, maybe?). New charmable mobs will be added to the game

PUP C skill raised to A. Yeah MNks, deal with that

RNG to get some enmity reduction thing, an ability to pile two arrows in one shot. Mini-Barrage, I guess.

all this level 99 stuff, though, all the stuff that could change.

I'm just curious how certain jobs will remain unique in light of all those changes. A lot of the prior adjustments now make a lot more sense given the cap being raise.

O.O 3 new add ons! Something about Abyssia? They're all end-game add ons to go along with the new level cap.

New Add-on Series "Abyssea" Announced! (02/28/2010)

An announcement was made today at VanaFest 2010 for "Abyssea," an all-new three-part series of battle-oriented add-ons.

A parallel world existing beside Vana'diel, Abyssea is a land fraught with perils and home to savage hordes of heretofore unseen creatures. Ferocious, towering NMs, new-look HNMs?even the garden varieties will confound would-be challengers with their unfamiliar and formidable powers. These and a whole host more await hapless adventurers with open arms and voracious maws.

In Abyssea, concerns such as the over-population of battle areas and the need for large time investments will be a thing of the past. The development team is hard at work creating a world where parties can engage in rewarding battles with powerful foes and collect prized equipment with the least of fuss.

O.O AWESOME! Job-specific emotes! THF uses a smoke bomb and war cracks his knuckles!\

Oh good GOD they are going to buff tachi: gekko?! O_O are they CRAZY?! OMFG Sekkanoki will be usable with /SAM! OMFG!


WAR is getting a tanking JA!

WHM getting new divine and healing magic and more chances to use divine magic.

O_O THEY ARE BUFFING TREASURE HUNTER AND A NEW STEAL ABILITY!

SCH update now...

The best part about Abyssia is that its being planned around 6-man PTs...don't need massive alliances to do it! Finally can now do some of this cool end-game stuff with your own LS.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

Re: Over 9000... er... ok, Over level 75 - New cap 99 o.o

Sekkanoki seems like its gong to have its levels lowered.

WHM getting a brief tanking ability. more new divine magic.

THF new level of TH, new kind of Steal ability
