Aren't they a bit late in posting their info? Ok let's see what we can we can pessimistically expect.

We're pleased to announce that the development and quality assurance teams are hard at work at doing nothin in this version update, currently on track for an early November release.
With thrilling two new episodes of the Wings of the Goddess nation quests, sam-related adjustments, added features for Moblin Maze Mongers that no one cares about, an extensive and all-new system involving items that won't be as awesome as it sounds, and more, there's sure to be something for adventurers of all stripes!

And once again, SE is slacking on the updates. Does anyone else remember when they were bi-monthly? Now it's every 3-4 -_- (they say 3 but every so often, this one included, it's a damn 4-month wait)

[Mistress Stowastiq]

I have no complaints, just my add blockers and script munchers will flip out and not let me view the new video. Going to go fight with them and see what is coming. Hmm that pot belly stove thing must be some kind of item delivery structure. The lavender bra on that character with the new blade looks familiar.

Edit: OMG Borg tarus!!~

[Toksyuryel]

an extensive and all-new system involving items

Can you possibly be any more vague than this? Holy fuck.

LOL I know and what the %#!# is that pot belly stove kiln thing doing in a field?
I love the music in the trailer very suspense generating!
"For the glory of your empress fair,
Be prepared to lose a few tufts of hair!"

"For the glory of your empress fair,

My favorite part was there, hello new sig, and let the taru empire begin, Vana'diel shall be ours!

[Qeomash]

Guessing the final fight for this one will be in Full Moon Fountain, with the dungeon crawl being the Toraimarai Canal...

...and what's this, Shantotto with new clothes!?

[Mistress Stowastiq]

I love your sig!
I have watched the vid I think like 10 times now. The music is so spectacular. A row of those evil looking borg tarus with their hands behind their back.

@Qeomash
I was wondering about the clothes she was wearing throughout, how it changed 3 x and the end bow, since I am a noob and have done none of the previous missions only recalling the different outfits from Dissidia.

[Toth]

Vaguuue but at least its time to start the weekly speculation fun :D

[TaruMortis]

Inb4 no new avatars for Summoners.

[JigglyJam]

Toss in items in a stove that randomly spawn after monster defeats and get an item out of it? fuck if I know.

Dagger is the AV enfeebler.

[orson]

Sounds good, I just expected them to finish WoTG this winter though. Also I'm very much indifferent about MMM it was a pretty pointlessly frustrating addition to this game. I'm just glad they're done with augmented items (at least for now.) Really excited for a new end game system I really hope that we see a bunch of funky gear like that dagger.

Any guesses on the stove in what looks like Rolanberry??

[vagus]

BST!!!!!! /sigh.

[Lordender]

quality assurance teams LOL.

Is that what SE is calling it these days? Its been like since salvage since they released a "quality patch"

I'm guessing the "evil" Shantotto is actually one from another dimension (or timeline!?! inb4 crossing the streams...) and they're using the changes of clothes to differentiate her different forms.

[CubsWoo]

The in-field item system looks like it might tie in with Fields of Valor/Treasure Caskets. Maybe drop 2-3 temp items into the Synth-O-Matic and get some random crap for your trouble? New items you can buy through FoV tabs? Dunno.

The dagger looks interesting - maybe hinting at THF/DNC updates?

[Kimiko]

In Dominus Shantotto... Ahem.

[Spira]

I hope the extensive item system thing is good..

also.. where are my avatars? they'd better come =\

btw. wtf is that kettle/oven thing doing in the middle of a field?

[Silenka]

In Dominus Shantotto... Ahem.

brb church of shantotto

Although, I smell a summoner change on the winds... it's been quite a few updates now that the SMNs have been hardcore bitching...this time, I think it's really going to happen....
