VanaFest Coverage (now with actual LiveBlog)

you know how the bonuses on sanction aren't at full power right after you get it back from beastmen? well, with glory crown on apparently the bonus will be a little bit more charged (1 unit of imperial defense)? but not exceeding 8 units, or maximum bonus. did I say that right lol

People still lose Besieged?

After the 1hr change, the event has become damn well near impossible to lose.

[Spira]

so looking forward to dissidia even more now

*see all Hades, lol

The rewards for Field of Valor look to be scalable.

If both Private Dungeon and Field of Valor turn out good then FFXI lower game(and middle) quality will shoot through the roof. JUST FIX CONQUEST and we'll call it a day.

- SMN, they said they'd already decided which new avatar(s) will be added but they need to do some more testings because the model(s) are (is?) big (?) and there may be issues with displaying so it will take some time.

Odin and Alexander are pretty big :3


So are Ixion and Bahamut for that matter... AWW YEAH!!!


Kinda sad still no real fix for avatar's suckiness this update

Wonder what the Amnesia fix will be? Maybe they'll just exclude pacts from Amnesia? I can't see them being turned into spells because that would mean Haste would work on SMN which would lead to some real nasty BP abuse.



Also, I'm betting Enlightment will see more use by SCH in Dark Arts who want to help out with a nice fat cure IV or something and not have to reapply Add: Black.


Either way SCH Group 2 is total fucking failure wow, I hope they don't screw up DNC. I was really hoping they'd give SCH more spells via meriting add W/B

*see all Hades, lol

when you have 200 people in a lvl 8, no items and no generals against undead yeah, your gonna get raped.

[Corrderio]

Meh, I don't think Shantotto looks all that great. I still say Zeid/Shadowlord or Prishe/Promathia would have made the more epic fight.

[Dohorehn]

all in all, dissidia needed more girls.

so yeah, Prishe would have been nice. Or Cornelia! Lion... the list goes on

[BRP]

Cornelia? What would be her special attack?

Run away from home?

EDIT: I like the inclusion of more magic based characters. My only regret is that there doesn't seem to be any grapplers/hand to hands, a role Prishe would have filled nicely. They certainly don't need another sword fag like Zeid or Aldo.

[Corrderio]

Screw you. Swords rule! D:

[Lordwafik]

Who's gonna be opposing shantotto though? I haven't looked into dissidia much but isn't it 1 good and 1 bad person per title?

I'm hoping shadowlord and hoping they don't do something stupid like make naja or Zilart twins their baddy.

[Ophannus]

I'm tired of playing as Cloud, Tifa should have been the FF7 character for Dissida, we had Cloud in Ehrgeiz(Tifa was fucking top tier in that game)

[Lordshin]

it will be Lady Lilith to promote WotG

Damn... i need a PSP

That right there is why I say Shantotto shouldn't be in the game xD

Maybe the better question would be: Who is the good person opposing her.

[Ophannus]

Shanttoto better put her palm by the side of her mouth(common crazy-scientist japanese anime gesture, Lucca from CT does it and so does Washu from Tenchi Muyo) when she cackles before doing a super move

Found an image of Shantoto's rival from dissidia.

Are the new expansion going to come out with new maps, items and quest? Or it's just a simple storyline.

If it's just a few cutscenes, 10$ price tag is overkill (30$ is the price of a new expansion)

[ronin sparthos]

Elde'narche would be a good counter for Shanttoto.

[BadKarma]

Heres hoping they let us either change character model or races, id gladly pay 20 bucks to change to a taru
