    New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)



    We are pleased to announce that our development team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on the upcoming FINAL FANTASY XI version update, which is currently on track for a mid-June release.

    This update promises to be a momentous one, with the first level cap increase in over six and a half years, and a veritable slew of new equipment and weapon skills to accompany it.

    But that's not all! Adventurers across Vana'diel can look forward to experiencing the climactic conclusions of the popular Wings of the Goddess nation quest storylines, braving the eerie environs of the new Walk of Echoes area, taking up the gauntlet with new Trial of the Magians trials, and much more! With a host of job adjustments and other refinements on the way as well, this update is sure to offer something for players of all stripes.

    As always, detailed previews will be forthcoming right here in the Topics section, so keep watching this space!

    ---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

    Well, it is Friday, so I suppose such an announcement was to be expected.

    For those keeping score at home . . .


    In addition to the items mentioned in this post, we may also look forward to:

    New Campaign rewards!
    Several new NMs and HNMs!
    Abolishment of Promathia area level caps!
    Additions to MMM!
    New Synergy recipes!
    And Vision of Abyssea.

    This is apparently going to be the larger and more defining single update of the year.



    Personally, I'm interested in seeing these new "Trial of the Magians trials" (straight from the DoRD, of course), and this new equipment and weapon skill business. I don't expect anything of personal interest in the "job adjustment" department until September for various reasons, but it'll be interesting to see which jobs in particular get the run-through this time. I'm thinking DNC, COR, maybe SCH?

    Well, I think after the next update a few things are changing with Scholars getting access to Haste, and mage jobs subbing scholar getting access to Accession and Manifestation.

    In my personal opinion SCH doesn't need any more boosts and with the other mage jobs getting access to those nifty stratagems the other mage jobs are getting ballanced out pretty nicely as well.
    Except for maybe BLM.
    This of course >if< the level cap is going to be raised to 80 or higher, noone ever said anything about how they plan to do the level cap increases over the year.

    That aside, my curiosity goes to the Magian trials and the rewards we can expect from the first Abyssea addon.
    I'm also hoping those new NMs/HNMs work on a similar system as the current VNMs do now.

      Nice. Announcing it this early makes me think it will be here by mid June. It also makes me think either they have been working on these for a while and there might be a new zone(s) we have never heard of or they will be regurgitating the 3 zones in the past for the present so they could cut development time/cost. Honestly either way I don't care. New zones are nice but Grauberg, Fort Karugo, and La Vaule are some pretty neat places that probably aren't getting much use in the past, but are fun to explore.

        SQUEEBEES!!!!!

        lol. New Weaponskills o-O that'll be interesting (for everyone but SAM anyway - unless we FINALLY get another Fragmentation WS)


        Curious to see what jobs are getting buffed. Come on Stone V...

        Far as I know @ vanafest they said they don't want to give SCH anymore abilities because they don't want to over-complicate the job, instead of focusing on new SCH only magic like Libra. Wonder if we'll see that spell this update (reveals the enmity of the entire pt)

                    You'd think the villains of the world would have a 401k and severance package for their redshirt lackies.

                      Active mods? None, I believe. We do have a few dozen mods though.

                          Makes me think about Reactivating again as well. I quit to save some money up for FFXIV. But it seems I may start up again... Seems like they may have some really nice stuff.

                          Also... Is that a Pld Dual Wielding Axes, or a bst using axes? O.o;

                            Seeing as PLD doesn't have an axe skill rating...

                            It's actually a white Haube that's apparently been in the .dats for a while. Guys over @ BG were discussing it, and they turned up some other God awful armor too including a set of pink armor which I absolutely refuse to repost here due to the inevitable banning that would result from such an offense to the eyes.

                            Run-on-sentences ftw.

                              I know. It just looks like a Pld type of Armor on a character using Axes. I never really looked up Pld that much so I don't know what their skills are.

                              Hmmm... Pink armor set? Seems interesting... Maybe you gotta kill the pink birds to get the items for it...

                              I'd actually like to see it. lol
