Yeah and some have already found out that it'll link to a new trailer on the 11th. This trailer is obviously not available yet so even if we can get to the link it'll simply display an error message.

On AoE range...

Similar to the suggestions in this thread, it is very possible to have the same kind of system for players in the future, so the development team will keep this in mind.

As an aside, in A Realm Reborn the buffing range is extremely wide and has been set to 40m, so if you are in a dungeon you will be able to cast the spells on all party members easily, so no more players getting out of range of Stoneskin and other enhancements

So SE is finally going the route of "don't stand in the fire!"; a good change along with the buff range.

They had that shit in the last main-scenario story quest what with the Imperial Juggernaut and what-not and I never understood why it wasn't utilized more

Ever since Ifrit I've always felt like they wanted to do this but have been cockblocked by crappy server/client.

You should see the Van Darnus fight from a BRD or melee perspective. Probably the best WoW-like fight in the game.

Looking forward to seeing his reaction when someone makes a DeadlyPrimalMods addon for this game

No kidding... lol

Anyways, I'm really glad for the range being extended on AoE buffs. I hate accidentally missing someone with Battle Voice.

Feel like it could be pretty annoying for brd's though :/

**Psion** · 2012-11-03 11:05

are you sure it's the AoE range though? couldn't it just be the casting range instead?

Basically similar to how magic fruit had a 25 yalm range instead of 20ish, and was able to go off even when the target ran out of range once you started, because it was considered a ranged attack instead. (before SE nerfed it...

)

I see what you mean. Won't be able to split songs. They should do it on a spell by spell basis.

**Gokulo** · 2012-11-03 11:18

Well, battle voice is more like an ability than a song right? So just make songs range smaller than abilities.

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-11-03 11:48

That could work. I still say cherry picking individual buffs to give the max AoE range to is the best bet. ;o

Not exactly information but it's a really good opinion piece on what's happened with FFXIV since it's launch. Enjoy: http://www.dualshockers.com/2012/11/...from-disaster/

one less plugin for me, it's no different than a visual distance mod. I welcome it.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-11-03 12:11

40m seems a bit extreme.

**Niiro** · 2012-11-03 12:26

No one is going to complain that their protect radius is too conveniently large.

Songs are the only thing potentially negatively effected by this, which I hope they take in mind.
