Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

The next FINAL FANTASY XI Version Update has been scheduled to take place in early September. The development team is currently hard at work to bring you the following, just to name a few items:
- The continuing episodes of nation quests for the Wings of the Goddess expansion.
- Major battle-related tweaks and additions.
- Adjustments to fellows and Campaign.

We will be posting more detailed information on the next version update right here on Topics as it becomes available, so stay tuned!

Wow you are quick to have this up, and anyway...

CRAZY SPECULATION GO!!!

But seriously does it not seem that they are recycling their initial update notice, they always seem to be the same thing. Three points (give or take a few) and nothing concrete, what is so wrong with giving us something to hype over?

Lessee here

Picture shows SCH and DNC - Probably the Group 1 Merits
Picture 2 - Quests, duh
Picture 3 - If they're putting ToA Relic in Dynamis I'm gonna throw up.

Interesting. I don't remember FFXI models having even so much interaction with each other as high fiving, and SE is doing hugs now. Good for them, I suppose.

The last picture seems more like they could probably be referring to the Hydra Corps more so than tossing ToAU relic into dynamis.

As the years passed SE got better at making NPC interactions..ToAU and WoTG has a lot of interactions compared to the base game and Zilart/CoP.

Dynamis - Whitegate, go!

/orz.

- Major (What, are you adding more emotes to Wyverns?!) battle-related tweaks and additions.

Actually, I sort of HOPE they add new job AFs to dynamis, even if it doesnt make much sense... it'l spice up Dynamis right up again, it's kinda meh atm because of so much new gear, assault, salvage, etc.

The WotG character animations and CSs are far and away the best this game has to offer. It's simply amazing what they've done with them and it is something everyone should witness. Purple, the New Black ftw!

Except the Pup, who wasn't a member of the Hydra corps, is wearing recolored Pup AF.

Dynamis - Whitegate, go!

/orz.

It's Jueno, seems like it's just gonna be simply adding ToAU Relic to old Dynamis

Re: Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

Too much thinky.

3rd picture could be as easy as "Major battle-related tweaks and additions" made them want to add a combat screeny. So why not put that screenshot in dynamis?

[Ziero]

Re: Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

The Pup still has recolored AF

[Balfree]

Re: Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

Because Lmnop:

1 Currently, Relics drop in Dynamis.
2 They announced Relics for the new jobs.
3 That picture is in Dynamis and it clearly shows a Puppetmaster wearing some new Equipment, reddish body piece with white sleeves.

Unless SE is just seriously screwing with us.

Picture 3 - If they're putting ToA Relic in Dynamis I'm gonna throw up.

How quickly you forget SE said they wouldn't do that. That Dyna pic is obviously from when they said they'd adjust the drop rates for Northlands Dynamis (but maybe they've changed that to all Dynamis. They could be adjusting the cost too!)


Personally the "Major Battle Adjustments" is what's got me drooling.

Re: Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

Probably the RDM stuff

I hate you.

Re: Version Update Notification (07/23/2008)

I personally would prefer that ToAU Relic be added to Dynamis. I already have to do Dynamis 1-2 times a week anyways, without it being in there there's few options to where it could come from:

1) Einherjar - A fuckload harder to clear/farm than Dynamis.
2) Salvage - Rules out Assault and Nyzul Isle gear if you want your AF2
3) Other - Some brand new event...when I'm already struggling to fit 7-8 events into 5 nights a week while still trying to XP/merit, make gil, and possibly do missons/quests here and there.

I would much rather have it drop from something I already do often that will also benefit many in my linkshell(we have 1 SCH and 1 COR(me), and no PUPs, so if we did the new event it'd basically be for me and 1 other...) than have to find a way to squeeze another time-consuming event in.
