Time mage in JP mag?

[deivi]

if it is time mage of course its not gonna be some generic support job with a bunch of existing spells. I cant think of a better way to word this atm but:

We're all wrong when we try to speculate. Usefull or not, I trust SE to make the new jobs something unique to the game, the only reason we saw BLU comming was cause it was the last FF staple job to be implemented

Even with speculation, BLU was introduced in a very unique way, that no one really expected-- I remember everyone thinking that BLU would be able to use any spell they'd want at anytime, lol (also, it never really occured to anyone that alot of spells would be SCable). I have faith in when SE introduces jobs, because each on is not generic at all. Best thing to do is just to hold it down, and see info released in turn.

IMO FFXI is a unique game and its difficulty ( and tediousness) weeds out the bad players from the good

Great shades of Elvis. Considering the morons I see at level 75, I would hate to see how stupid the player base would be without the bevy of mind-numbingly tedious time-sinks.

Counterpoint: how many potentially great/smart/nice people came to realize that the pixelated glory reward for continuing FFXI just isn't worth their time?

Lol i worded that wrong xD
What i meant was that people in ffxi know what what they are doing (sure there are exceptions but most people know ><) its built so that you are doing what you job is supposed to do at an early levels... games such s wow let you solo and then you have no clue how to work in the group cuz you do it once in a while ><

the Dengeki site has been updated for the new issue.

Short summary;

FFXI News in the new issue:
http://www.dengekionline.com/ff11/index.html

Bablefish translation of summary & ffxi page reveal nothing, but there is a lot of talk about Sea NMs.

Small fucking scans makes hulk angry, but glad this might finally be cleared up.

Cue the Elmer Signal!

and someone track down JR....he's got some s'plainin' to do....

Granted, the fact that there's no info on PS3 rumble means it probably doesn't have everything, but it never hurts nail somone to a stake. That's what the back of a hammer's for.

First page has nothing about FFXI, only other games.
Second page is the 'buy my book' page that we've seen before.
Still no talk of Time Mage on any JP forums or news sites.

I think Johnny Rockets just made a mistake or something.

Johnnyram has been a pretty reliable first source of info over the years. And if he was the only person making the statement, it wouldn't explain the two dozen JPN blogs/forums discussing time mage in the Altana expansion. Time to recruit a resident of JPN to hunt down the magazine.

Mind linking to said blogs?

[Elmer the Pointy]

I don't understand, there are no blogs and forums discussing Time Mage. The only mentions are pure speculation, usually from months ago.

[6souls]

From what i've read from cruising the various forums is that the news was just a short blurb. Like in the news paper, Business/Tech section notably, how they do 1-2 sentence write-ups about companies in a column. thats how it appeared.

[Tonelico]

I await a scan or some news. But it's not like we need it ... this is a given, even if the job doesn't work.

<---- suggests that Time Mage will have a form of non-elemental magic damage. *Break the game!*

Geomancer's definitely happening too.

probably some one post in jp bbs or somewhere but didnt mention the info was from 2ch. Since that I read the news in some where else before, but ppl mention they got this from 2ch. So, and you guy know... 2ch stuff always 80% are fake... it is quite hard to determinte which is truth

so, just wait alittle for more info from the scanning and see...

booo

Hmmm...

Other than the normal advertisements for FFXI (they still push it pretty hard here) I have not seen anything in regards to the new expansion other than "It is coming!" --- I am going shopping and I will see if I can find this magazine you guys are talking about. If it's out here, I am sure I can find it in one of the game shops in Akihabara. If I find anything, I'll post it when I get back from shopping.

-AA

Here are the quick and dirty pics from the mag. Nothing really new as most of you guessed already... Talks about Sea NM's and ToAU content.

I suggest saving these so you can zoom in and out etc.

There are at original size so you can zoom in to see some of the detailed text and pictures. The pictures are crappy themselves in the magazine and I don't have a fancy scanner. :/

Enjoy.

Ah yeah - of course JP magazines give full details on Salvage strategies!
