"We're still alive guys! We swear!"
10 minute quests, a playschool hammer, bells, and your npc in MMM. Whoopie.
Life support is costing too much, someone pull the plug.
Hopefully by early April they mean the first week not end of the 2nd week. Also they aren't confirming anything but it is possible we may see 1 or even all the mini-expansions around then. So that might be why they're taking longer than usual.
Obviously they are introducing "death bells" and when you get a rdm, blm, and whm to ring their death bells in sync the battle target get hit with meteor. Probabaly some quest where you have to fight those dang CoP tarus to get them as well.
The goofy hammer in the Maze pic with the fellow may indicate more then fellows in Mazes. We all know SE likes to convey multiple things with each teaser pic.
Perhaps one of the new Maze types will be "Skill up".
There will be a rune for each weapon type. When placed on the Tabula with a new skill up voucher type you'll get a goofy weapon that you need to use to accomplish some objective in the maze. While doing that you can get skill ups for that weapon type. It is a very SE sort of way to answer that request from players.
Orson, and for those that didn't know, here are the expansions releases dates:
A Crystalline Prophecy-- Ode of Life Bestowing June 30, 2009(US)
A Shantotto Ascension--The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born December 31, 2009(US)
A Moogle Kupo d'Etat--Evil in Small Doses December 31, 2009(US)
Just wanted to comment on this.
Content in general being released at a snail's pace is typical SE fashion but the slow widening of updates is a valid complaint. Pretty retarded alternating missions and quests each update to progress the story-line when the damn expansion was released in November 22, 2007.
Q.Q It'll be August before we get to see Lilith again...

The secret to being content with SE's update policy is to realize that you are not in control of their gradual transition over to rapture, and reduce your expectations to 0. A majority of the unhappiness in this world is caused by the inevitable difference between our hopes and reality.
In other words, rapings are imminent.
Back to disappointing updates
Just saw that.
Also: god dammit I better get my motherfucking Iron Ram Haubert, and my motherfucking Beauc [S]/Xarc [S], or I'm going to cut a bitch.
I was hoping I'd be able to have Pld 75 for just a couple of weeks before I.R. body came out, if it isn't out this update... I'mma have to call Wayne Brady.
dammit, didn't mean to double, delete?
