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

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../5427/5427.jpg

    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!
    At least they're confirming new WS.

    Anyone recognize that armor on the left? BST AF3 maybe?

    Looks like RNG afv2 and a BLM in a Weskit.

    With a Denali Bonnet...? Idk... It's late.

    Level cap increase, new ws's, WoE and the first Abyssea expansion, plus Magician upgrades...

    I think there's enough stuff to do 'till next update at least o_0.

    Doesn't scream BST to me and it could also be WAR AFv3 or "generic new Magian gear".
    The new gear will most likely come from WoE,Abyssia and Magian. Sinergy if they really wanna push it (with Abyssia/WoE drops of course).
    I'm going to assume that these WS won't just pop in your list once you reach a certain number considering lvl 71 and job specific WS need a quest to get them.
    That's a completely new WS on the left right? Not a campaign one? (I usually filter NPC animations so I don't know)

    Looks like a reskinned white hauberk/haubert to me. Same for the white celata. The pic is too small to pick all the details.

    No, I'm pretty sure Lekho's mom is actually that one mithra that went with Raogrimm to the north lands. The one with the Denali head is the mother of that one mithra you run into at the end of the entire Rng AF quest. Hell, you even meet her during the Windy past quest. And, I'm betting that one mithra that is the Star Sibyl's guard is probably the daughter of that one mithra with the rifle on her back in the past Windy nation quests.

    If the update schedule is to be believe (if ToA's was a sign of things to go by ), the first new add-on "Visions of Abyssea" is due also. Probably a tie-in to the new Walk of Echoes location. As was the case with the previous three add-ons, I'll let the others pay the full price and see if it's worth the RMT or not.

    Anyways, I need to catch up on nation quests badly. Got two more to go on SanD so I can continue WoTG missions to the current final, and I got the majority of WinD to do, and halfway through Bastok.
    (shit would be easier to lfg for if people bothered doing more than just the nation they affiliate with in the past)


    Also, they're supposedly to abolish CoP level caps. Guess that means most SAMs will be having a Soboro soon.

    As soon as they reveal the final rewards everyone will jump on the missions.
    I'm glad I finished all nation tiers so far though so I can easily travel to any city in the past once a day.
    I hope these new quests are either level capped at 75 or doable at 75.

    its probably the white reskinned hauberk thats been in the dats for a long time now...

    3rd panel is totally story only..

    I'm pretty sure the guy in the left pane is a WAR/NIN....
    icey looking axe ws tho.. interesting.

  19. #19

    Looks like an ice elemental WS. And as general rule, elemental ws's suck. I wonder if it's going to be different this time.

    Could have a strong paralyze additional effect making it situational.
    Honestly if these WS are not quested I wouldn't expect much use out of them except being situational.
    That or they create new Skillchains.
