I'm sorry if this was asked, I only read some of the first page. Is that Chocobo update in this? I remember reading it was the "mid-july" update.

Nope. Chocs are scheduled for August 22nd

Ahh, I see. I wasn't aware the "Spirit Link" also removed status effects.

It's supposed to. Last time I read up on it at all there was a debate over whether it actually worked correctly or not.

Isn't there a way to figure out what the abilities do via .dats or something?

I'm pretty sure you can, but update hasn't finished so no one has the dats.... we're gonna have to wait i guess.

I can tell you that "Tomahawk" I bet is the ability they were mentioning that WARs would get to be able to throw their Axe.

Most of the spells there are self explanitory too, Since most people should know their original ones. We already know what "Recycle" does since there is a RNG cap that does that ability (Cap still useful likely improves the ability on top of what the trait does).

Thanks for answering, I'll paste this quote from PlayOnline for people.

"The continuing Aht Urhgan missions and chocobo raising mentioned in Topics will be implemented at a slightly later date due to extended testing requirements.
Aht Urhgan Missions: August 2
Chocobo Raising: August 22"

Unfrotunately Protectra V is mosty useless since for a paladin reaching a soft def cap against every mob in the game is very easy. I guess it helps a bit when someone else takes a hit.

Except for HNMs, which you need every scrap you can get. Though it does nothing for TP based skills they throw at you.

And with Shellra V...it may help the instant whipe from enemy ga spells?

Martyr omg... sacrifical whm batteries!!

I feel we're going to be wide eyed like lambs to slaughter in alliance battles...

As far as definitions go to Martyr the best suited to BRD would probably be:

One who makes a great show of suffering in order to arouse sympathy.

So seems like it would be something that effects hate on the BRD.

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived!(07/24/2006)

Actually, a better definition would be:

One who suffers for the sake of principle

or

One who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty for refusing to renounce their religion

It is unlikely to be specifically related to Bard, that would be odd and out of place. It is likely the White Mage will sacrifice something to save or benefit others.

Just the thought of a bunch of WHM sitting outside of the alliance being lead to slaughter amuses me. >_>

Martyr sounds like "Pep-Up". FF6, look it up.

Go go Illithids! I was tired of having my brain inside my skull.

Actually it was covered in the Fan Festival. Whms are going to give their HP and/or MP to the party, in one fashion or another.

Time for tryouts!

More accurately, go back to the Monster Manual, seeing as how it was directly inspired (almost assuredly) by the classic Dungeons and Dragons monster the Mind Flayer.

Which in turn was inspired by Cthulhu, one of the mythos gods written about by H.P. Lovecraft.

Assuredly so, although Cthulhu was significantly more powerful, didn't eat brains that I am aware of, and sleeps in the City of R'yleh until the stars are right.

Man, Cthulhu is so overrated though. Gimme Azathoth over that squamous high priest anyday.

(He wasn't a mythos god by the way, he was a High Priest of them)
