September Version Update Preview (08/29/2008)

[Not Kuno]

B+. Could be better, but is pretty damn good.

[Suteru]

Oh god that was way funnier than it should have been

I'm glad I'm not the only one who laughed at that part.

"YOU GUYS ARE PUSSIES! GET OUT THERE AND TELEPORT PEOPLE UNDER ATTACK!"

But this is mostly stuff I'll never use. Then again, I would've been happy if they only put in COR AF2. Just a few more weeks til I get to be captian crunch (Provided they drop)


Also "Just around the corner" I wonder how soon they mean by that.

[Rocl]

I think seal storage is about as universally useful to all players as you can get

[Suiram]

I'm trying to decide if I'm genuinely excited about this, or if FFVault getting reinvigorated has tanked my expectations to the point where anything remotely content-related is like Christmas morning. Usukane for Raka!

[Arximiro]

Now if I could just store the 7 af upgrade sets I have from Limbus for jobs I haven't leveled yet.

[Lyramion]

For a FRIDAY notice this is rly nice!


And yes I began to love my NPC and doing stuf with it *^ ^b

[Waef]

Was expecting something more exciting, but I guess it could be worse. At least it's SOMETHING..

[Septimus]

Are you being sarcastic, or are you a different septimus than the one that lashed out against the last update note (in regards to level sync)?

Maybe you aren't familiar with me. Hi, my name is Septimus. I am the guy who tries to strike balance in the update notes. When people are being excessively negative, I tend to point out how they are being silly. When people are being irrationally exuberant, I tend step in to try to reign in their expectations from something unfathomably godly to something reasonable by pointing out the negatives.

Most of the time it seems that I spend my efforts trying to build a dam to stem the flow of the forum's collective sandy vag, but every so often I have to burst some bubbles lest they will be burst after the update. Go and look at some of the previous update posts, when the posters tilt too far one way or the other, I pretty much always take the contrarian position.

I also wrote this:

No, because then people would bitch that they are waiting too long between version updates and thusly the version update must suck.

Really, it is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation for them. If they have filler, people will bitch about it as stuff they don't care about. If they don't have filler people will bitch that they aren't releasing enough news. If they release the notes too far apart people will bitch that there isn't enough information. If they wait too long people will bitch that it is taking too long to get the good stuff out.

Ha ha ha! Perfectly relevant.

I think the difference is that he doesn't think he will like the idea of Level Sync, not that he was bitching about the quality of the Level Sync update notes.

[Kairos]

With my 600 beastmen's seals and 600 kindred's seals, I'll gladly take 12 fresh inventory spaces. Helps out a lot when managing space for things actually worth taking up space, like rare-ex gear.

[Amok]

Ah, nothing like discussion boards where people discuss about how or whether to voice opinions at all. I dunno if it's hypocracy, irony or just simple recursion, but I like.

[Rocl]

I'm still looking forward to S.A.D.!

[Kirbyprime]

B+. Could be better, but is pretty damn good.

Eh, C+. A bit too lukewarm to give it a B+ really.

[Kyreth]

I'll give it a B. Anything that gives me back significant storage spaces is a plus, as I have a metric fuckton of seals taking up space. Also, update writer has a sense of humor. That alone is better than average, that the update info is good stuff makes it better still.

Chocobo digging in the past would be made of win, though, and should be added soon. After all, I can mine, harvest, etc. Why not dig?

[Lordwafik]

stuff

I still vote that this is Bizzaro Septimus, the one who likes girls , especially mithra in leather.

[Xanthe]

My 14 stacks of seals say "awesomesauce".

[Minions]

Would have had a bigger impact when I had 25 slots taken up. However i'll take 13 back.

[Tearshang]

Are the Fellow quests really that interesting? I'm starting to really think about leveling mine again (at level 43 i think lol).

[Isiolia]

Seal storage is win >.>


Chocobos in the past, meh, it's mostly campaign, and campaign has warps. I'm still too bitter about my BST being MPK'ed so some JP could swap armor around on his Fellow to be happy that they exist at all.

[Septimus]

I still vote that this is Bizzaro Septimus, the one who likes girls , especially mithra in leather.

Nope, not Bizarro Septimus. Regular Septimus, the one who likes men, especially Galkas in leather.

Example of my point.

Adventuring Fellow quests are among the best written in the game. I would rate them about the same as the Serpent General quests. (Serpent General quests are slightly better, but mostly because the animations in them are just fucking amazing.)
