Descendants of the dauntless pirates that once scourged the seas of the Near East, corsairs rely on the “Hexagun,” a multi-barreled revolver, and elaborate luck-based abilities to alter the stakes of battle.

Thanks for the posts guys. I'll have to reserve it soon. Who's betting I get ToAU before I get my 360? Supposedly PS3 is coming out sometime soon after that too. Looks like April/May is going to be an expensive couple months.

Hell yeah! This is definitely gonna be the job I'm playing after ToAU's release. Forget about Blue Mage.

This brings up another thought, will any of the new (including any of the possibly unannounced jobs) go together in interesting main/sub combos...

I don't really think BLU/COR or COR/BLU sound slike a very good combination, but you never can tell...I've seen stranger things

Re: Treasures of Aht Urhgan - Latest News! 01/26/06

I am almost sure that at leat they will add a 3rd job! Well at leat I hope there is!

Besides the new jobs, SE has to exceed our expectations with this new expasion if they want to keep us, the users, intrested. The economy is not helping at all and i can already imagine how rapidly the new items for those new jobs will cost! ToA has to deliver more than what Zilart and Cop did combined!

Any comments?

Supposedly PS3 is coming out sometime soon after that too.

i wouldn't bet on that... PS3 development/progress sounds so FUBAR.

set the bar too high and you're bound for disappointment. I'm just hoping Sage Sundi wasn't completely off his rocker last time he mentioned that ToA would have some kind of solo content.

Double Post Edited:
btw i guess the customary april BIG update would be skipped in favor of the expansion release

Solo content, {Can I have it?} {Please}

As much as I love being in parties and alliances, it would be nice to be able to do a few more thing solo. Granted I'm a RDM, so I can do quite a few things solo pretty damn well, but not as much as I would like. Some days when I get on, I don't have a lot of time, or I just don't feel like getting a group together to go do something, and yet it seems all of the *important* stuff that I need to get done, requires at least the assitance of a party, if not more.

/sighs and corsses fingers...then uses COR 2-hr ability to get a 100% success on gamble and SE adds more solo content, Yay for us!

In the full interview posted in one of the other threads, I saw mentioned that there would be more endgame content, but CoP added more areas than ToA will. I also saw mentioned that they are not adding so much of the level capped areas but areas that challenge your class... without a subjob in some isntances.

So I dont think this is a massive area expansion, but more of a content expansion.

The one thing that I wish would happen that sorta bothers me, is the game doesnt change depending on where you are in the story line. Indeed... the cities dont really change either. Decades have passed since I started playing but... I see no decay or growth. I can still talk to the guards in front of the Palace in Jueno and they still say the same crap about I cant go in to see blah blah without permission.

Once you finish Zilart the guards should let you in to see the empty room and mention how they dont know what is going to happen now that Jeuno has no leadership.

Same thing with rank missions... I can still talk to the president and he talks down to me even though at the end he was kissing my butt for saving Bastok.

Again... CoP... your character literally stops the end of the world from happening... but... no one seems to acknowledge you for that in Tavnazia. ...or even the rest of the world.

I mean I expected to go back to Jeuno, talk to an NPC, and they say:
"Whoa, yer that guy that helped save the world... let me get the hell outta yer way."
