A Shantotto Ascension now available for purchase?

[Corrderio]

Since there isn't a front page news topic about it yet on PlayOnline, thought I'd post it here...

So apparently a friend of mine confirmed that A Shantotto Ascension can now be bought over POL. Kind of funny considering they haven't updated the page yet with rewards.

Hopefully we find out in a little over 4 hours.

Yeah, I noticed this is well while logging my second account. I'm expecting information most likely a bit later, because that's usually how they do it if I'm remembering correctly.

[Corrderio]

I always remember them updating the page 1-2 weeks before purchase...

Nah. It's always when the rewards are leaked that you are able to purchase.

[S N K]

It's purchasable. Just finished.

Oh, guess we'll find out then. Really want to know what the augments will be.

[Shenrien]

the augments make or break the sale for me :\ don't give two shits about the half assed stories and the annoying button spam to get past the worthless CS's.

[Nevex]

If I were you I wouldn't purchase it until I know what the rewards are.

[Windfoxster]

The answer is no reward.

This is exactly what I'm doing, I hated ACP mostly for 2 reasons.

1. The story was poorly built and made no sense whatsoever
2. The overall difficulty of the last BC (Lets face it, only certain job adjustments worked)

I was hoping MKD would be a learning lesson for SE, while it seemed to be since it wasn't as bad as ACP in terms of difficulty and the storyline wasn't that bad (Then again, there wasn't much to be said about moogles in the first place...) however it felt a lot like ACP in the long run because of how the missions were. So I'm pretty sure ASA will be the same way, so they'll have to give some real good augments to seal the deal for me. Especially since you won't get to actually kill Shantotto, more than likely fight her possessed like the moogle in MKD.

still nothing on the Add-on sites, US EU and JP

.. this better be good!

[Corrderio]

Give it a little over 2 hours and I'm sure they'll be updated. Til then I'm getting some rest

FINAL FANTASY XI

Addon sites now show the prize for this time around: pants!

But the possible augments aren't listed.

[Ropeydonkey]

So new legs incoming (hopes for haste mods to rep homam ^^)

[Ropeydonkey]

Mage pants look... gimmicky, the light pants look... ugly and the heavy pants look... meh. Fail >.<

Best have nice stats/augs to make up

[Kaylia]

The mages one are badass. I would use melee stats on them just because...



I won't be surprised if you can get a 5% haste 6str bonus or something like this. They will make this shit better than byakko haidate, or no one is going to buy the expansion.

[Mazmaz]

MNK pants look like the most ridicolous thing I've seen, ever.

[Ropeydonkey]

Oh, and for those that cant get to the site:

Nov update: "currently scheduled for November 9"

which is nice and early

[Spira]

im so getting the mage pants.. they look badass.. the dragon does at least

[kyosak]

God those pants are hideous ><
