[Terasan]

Any word on where Meteor's from? Searching came up with nothing, figured I'd ask instead of trying random shite.

[Stromgarde]

The merit JA modifications are nice. Capped Nightingale on bard will result in instacasting all songs, recasts still are present however.

[Koyangi]

Wow, nice.

[SetzJH]

I made it all the way through besieged on 360.

My God.

Wow cool, does this mean no more waiting for people to relog for VW?

[sluggo]

lol why did they rename Bishop's Gambit. I guess the auto light cap with cells isn't this update unless I missed it.

IDK if you play chess but it's an offensive move. When pil does it it seems defensive. IDK what the new name means.. IDK if i missed a response to this either

Seems that way so far. 8 qilins no relog or crash.

This may seem like a silly question, but did they change something about the "check files" option via POL Viewer? My FFXI accounts are currently not active, but I wanted to download the most recent updates in case I was to reactivate... I installed the game on my freshly reinstalled laptop (swapped in a new harddrive and did a fresh install of everything from factory settings), but I'm only getting the options to do file check for POL Viewer and Tetra Master... I know there used to be FFXI listed as a file check option because I've used it during maintenance previously to force the update early, but is it not showing now because I've never yet logged into the game on this computer?

I still don't really have time to play so it's not worth my money to resubscribe yet, but I was hopeing I could at least update my files T.T I installed from the latest "Ultimate" collection, the Abyssea edition.

[Spira]

possibly what you mentioned about never logging in before..

because it still works for me.

[Kaisha]

Isn't that based on the registry settings?

[Toth]

Oh wow, that's shocking. Only one week too. I wonder how we access provenance. Did anyone even get the next CS in the main mission after those crystals were requested by Kupofried?

[Shenrien]

I'm okay with this maintenance now.

[transmit]

I hope the weaknesses changes are to all of VW, and not just the final chapter... but it seems to read that way.

[Rhinox]

So happy they fixed the autorun glitch that shit was annoying.

Reading.

[Renzy]

Very sudden, didn't expect the final chapter for at least another month...

[Darkmagi]

What are you attempting to say there? He's happy the autorun glitch is being fixed, and it is..?

[Khiinroye]

Noticed while I was fixing the formatting that they said Modas Veritas was a summoner ability. Good job SE! (fixed here).

Also, I agree that the wording makes it sound like these proc changes are only for the final chapter, and not the rest of it.
