Firsties!!!
Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to the AF1 revamps. I'd love to sport the "old school" look again.
I wouldn't. Most AF1 is heaps ugly.
AF1 ftw! Doubt there will be many pieces to fulltime, but for JSE swaps (QQ inventory!) there should be quite a good amount of really interesting stuff.
That's what I hope for at least.

Nothing really unexpected. New crests are called "Sacred Kindred Crests" for the new battlefields, and you'll need items from those BCs for AF upgrade. Also need some other items from the new BCs or Delve for RME upgrades.
Also, the first table is currently typoed and says KC for the new battlefields. If you scroll down you'll see another table where it says Sacred KC.
Lion gear looks cool, another head piece along with a bow and a polearm or staff (I can't really tell but I think it's a staff).
I agree some AF1 look horrible (PUP). but RDM AF looks sharp. BST makes me look like I'm trying to impersonate a sheep for hot "furry" sex or something.
Ungh... will there be a way to convert old seals/crests into the new ones? Same 3:1 ratio maybe?
Hope the requirements for AF upgrades won't be too steep =/
im really curious how they tweaked certain RMEs.. especially Nirvana since they said it "wasn't user friendly" o_O
I doubt many pieces will be full time too just because it's what ilvl 109 or something? Pieces that are ilvl 119 will most likely have higher attributes(compare bayld gear +stats to delve gear +stats) but yeah the job specific bonuses are probably where it's at. If the pieces are quested and the quests are unique to each job then I will be looking forward to that almost more than the pieces themselves. Job lore quests(Flag/AF/Genkai5) were always my favorite part of FFXI lore and had some of the most badass cutscenes.
When they release the endgame area for SoA and implement the 2nd JSE set for GEO/RUN a.k.a AF2, I'm sure they'll let us ilvl upgrade relic armor and the same goes for Empyrean armor. Looking at AF3+2 it seems so weak, there are hardly any stats on it! Anyone excited to see the new armor and ultimate weapons they showed in the dev panel a few months ago? Can anyone find that video or post pics from it, some of those weapons looked so badass and the armor looked great too, but I can't find it anymore.
i now see what they mean by lv99 version of old BCs..
they basically brought back all the 6 man Moon and Star Orb battles.
I'm not very sure I understand the survival guide thing tho...
I know they meant Invincible for valoredge head for the new pup SP, but still, lol Invisible.
cant wait for version to go up, wanna see new RMEs...
"The attributes for the sword Excalibur have been adjusted.
Excalibur's additional effect will now take precedence over En- spells."
Its about time, the biggest surprise of this update.
I wonder if you can still get RME upgrade if you've traded your delve KIs to NPC and haven't gotten a new one yet.
One thing which kinda caught my eye..
•Players must either be in possession of either the detached stinger, flame-scarred skull. or craggy fin key items; or have cleared the “difficult” or “very difficult” version of one of the battlefields for which a macrocosmic orb is required for entry.
It seems like they're saying you only have to have won one of the three Delve bosses or do this other crap to upgrade your relic?
Why is the THF 2-hour now saying that SP abilities can't be stolen? I thought that was one of the benefits of it?
Really surprised about that Excalibur change since I recall they went "lol too broken" a long time ago when it was requested. Wonder what they did to Nirvana, as well.
Wonder if this means Gungnir might have finally be adjusted lulz
