September Version Update Preview (08/29/2008)

Shami (the seal dude) looks pissed off in this pic. Actually, he always looks pissed off. But here he's all like, "wtf SE you're so stretched for update notes that you had to mention me? I don't want to hold all those goddamn seals!"

I was kind of hoping for a surprise like... "Several new orb vendors have been placed at burning circles across all of Vana'diel." Meh. lol

[buttson]

check it out, i have so many seals

gonna free up so much space

i have so many seals

[Reapz]

Seal storage is great, Chocobos are cool and armoured(YES IT HAS A U IN I AM ENGLISH) for extra cool, npc not dissapearing during campaign will be useful as hell if city are constantly under attack and fellow stuff I don't really care about because I am happy with current attire. Can't really bash these update details after what they posted yesterday though lol.

[Attila]

I approve of this update.

I have seals, and don't use them fast enough *thumbs up*

Chocobos make riding around faster *thumbs up*

I like using my NPC (she's my Elvaan bitch, even though she's only lvl 59) *thumbs up*

Edit:
Oh yeah, disappearing campaign-relevant NPCs makes me angry. *thumbs up*


Also, I'm curious as to what MIGHT actually make people happy. People need to stop expecting more news about Mythic Weapons (obvious patch day material), and stop expecting Kings to be fixed. If it happens great, but it's like everyone is expecting the sky to fucking fall with amazing awesome every update note. I'm all about the fact they should fix the broken things, and the latest rash of actually doing it is out of character for SE (and I don't think Kings can be compared to the gigantic fuckup that is PW/AV).

[Ashira]

looks like the update will happen on schedule though, doesn't it? Like, the update notes always get sparser and have less "impact" the closer we are to actual date, yah?

Here's hoping, anyway.

I don't mind getting more storage space. :D

[Valkrish]

i'm looking forward to the same storage capabilities that sagheera has :D

but with seals!

[Dohorehn]

i'm calling one more shocker update, or like the job updates with something unexpected. today's details while kind of bland, are actually decent. I spend a lot of time with my npc (lvl 70, wee). However, there's still some things I don't get...

"Fellows will be receiving tweaks and improvements for the second consecutive version update. On the menu of changes are new armor pieces and a simplified customization system that will allow greater ease in changing your fellow's attire to suit your needs. An exciting new chapter of adventuring with your fellow awaits you!"

Changing armor to suit our needs? For the longest time, I thought armor had nothing to do with anything. Unless they mean our aesthetic needs... /shrug. Now, if we could change weapons on the fly, that'd be nice. And I hope among those 'tweaks' is a larger MP pool and autorefresh for soothing healer mode, lol.

[Linktri]

There's going to be a quest in an update in 2009 that equips Chocobos in the present with cyborg flux capacitor technology. This will allow them to flap back to the past when you call for them. However while they are there, the flux capacitor will run out of plutonium and the chocobo will end up fucking its mom or someshit. This will throw Vana'diel into a parallel dimension, which is inhabited only by Oedipian Chocobos a la Chrono Cross without the catman. Hijinks will ensue.

[The Stig]

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.

I don't get it, can you explain more? I'm interested.

[Octavious]

On the bright side, while these notes are still mediocre (but meh chocobos in the past finally) at least it's better than FFVault Update notes ...

[Minions]

I don't get it, can you explain more? I'm interested.

People lvling npc obviously killed his pets, thus making him die.

[Dohorehn]

I don't get it, can you explain more? I'm interested.

He probably means some guy was killing all his pets.

[The Stig]

Ah ok, I didn't realise that for some reason. Quite tired from work lol, yay for early Friday.

[Spungy]

Tiger Mask WAR MNK THF BST NIN DNC
Errant Houp WHM BLM RDM BRD SMN BLU PUP SCH

Unless that is an NPC, something new is there.

[Mikayla]

Oh god yes seal storage. +10 inventory spaces, along with ditching all my old level cap gear, this update is making my storage space very happy.

[Jaffar]

Wow, put me in the "happy about +20 inventory" category.

[Eruantalon]

Guess I gotta be the one to burst the bubble v.v

Seal Storage is kinda moot with Level Sync though >.>

People don't need to keep lvl 60 gear around and can burn through those seals now so no sense in storing them at the NPC. As long as you can solo your own scorpion or have a blm, you can do ODS to burn through KS.

BCNM99 would be nice.

[Mizango]

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

Very true.

I personally am working in the middle of my 4th stack of KS and 3rd of BS as well as still having a 30 orb and an 60 orb sitting my my MH from when I "quit" a a year or so ago.

I am definitely looking forward to the seal storage as well as the Chocos in the past finally.

[Pharaun]

I'm glad the Teleport person in the past is getting that extra dose of courage, they just need to make sure that the sigil person and the campaign ops person get the same dose and I'll be happy.

More leveling thanks to level sync = more seals... and sorry, but for people with double digit stacks of seals, it will take time to burn them. I'd rather be able to keep more gear out of storage, than hold on to seals that you ultimately turn in anyway.
