The mage pants are the most hideous piece of equipment I've ever seen in FFXI.

They would look better on MNK :<

Knew they reminded me of something. The mnk/thf set looks let Jet Seraweels with metal plates to me, too :/

[Mirage]

Desultors looks fucking ugly, I almost hope we won't get haste on them so that I don't have to TP in them.

Mirke wardecors is perhaps the only piece I actually like the looks of. Maybe the thf headgear too.

[Ronfar]

12% movement or not getting

[BerenTebogo]

Horribly ugly gear that I can only hope rivals hachiryu STR with some DA+

Hahah phail SE - anyone notice the spelling mistake?

This is exactly what I'm doing, I hated ACP mostly for 2 reasons.

1. The story was poorly built and made no sense whatsoever
2. The overall difficulty of the last BC (Lets face it, only certain job adjustments worked)

I was hoping MKD would be a learning lesson for SE, while it seemed to be since it wasn't as bad as ACP in terms of difficulty and the storyline wasn't that bad (Then again, there wasn't much to be said about moogles in the first place...) however it felt a lot like ACP in the long run because of how the missions were. So I'm pretty sure ASA will be the same way, so they'll have to give some real good augments to seal the deal for me. Especially since you won't get to actually kill Shantotto, more than likely fight her possessed like the moogle in MKD.

I have to disagree on something. Shantotto, as a whole, has always has a great set of storylines. She seems to show up everywhere, and it's always a good time, so I would be amazed if she didn't get the best plot, which I think would be great. That one's almost a gimme. As for the augments? They would also almost certainly, strategically, fit in with the other 2 pieces, and since SMN seems to be the darling here, and also has many special gloves and AF+1 feet, my money's on something that plays into that.

As for your second point, however, I liked the challenge. It's been a LONG LONG time since FFXI really put the screws to us in terms of a must-struggle mission. Not since CoP, to be honest, have I experienced that kind fo difficulty. Sure, it was frustrating as fuck, but it DID make the accomplishment that much sweeter. If the final battle was a breeze-through, I'd have really felt like the money was down the toilet.

The mage pants are beautiful. I hate the WAR/PLD/DRK/SAM/DRG ones though :/, which is a shame. I was hoping to replace my lack of Homam on PLD,DRK,DRG. If there's movement speed, it'll be very hard for me to choose between that and haste!

Hahah phail SE - anyone notice the spelling mistake?

"Blizter Poleyn"

I noticed. It's probably intentional though.. just look at the hume NPC names.

[Seraph]

I will be interested to see what the leg augments are. I have both Homam and Nashira legs so the haste option would need to be pretty decent for me to even consider it.

As for movement speed, I would laugh if it was included as every SAM ever would be idling in those legs for the rest of time.

[Max™]

I know why they aren't releasing the augments actually.

That means they have movement on them, and they don't want people running off to sell their hermes/gaiters/trotter's just yet.

It's a shame PLD will still want Crimson/Blood Cuisses for the elemental resists.

I was actually thinking this. I would hope they would nerf it just a little (assuming they include it at all), like make it +10% or something as to not completely devalue all those years I spent in sky just for movement speed. :-þ

[Max™]

Yup, but that would rock for me since I sold Hermes for Bomblet a while back.

Movement for War < Upgrade for War + Nin T.T.


I could see it being two options with +6% movement on them most likely, I doubt I could get a decent WS piece with +12% movement... though GOD that would rock.

[Bewsa]

The "heavy" dd pants look pretty meh, like 4th set shit. The Mage pants are the absolute ugliest thing since Danika Patrick got convinced she could model. As for the "light" dd pants, I absolutely love them for some reason.

Since I've got homam and nashira legs I'm deffinently making haste legs for
cor so I don't have to do that goddamn pirate ship bcnm over and over.

Unless they offer movement speed...

I would be willing to sport the ugly dragon sweat pants for the sake of blm moving faster.

W.Legs require a 1M bank and sitting your ass in Whitegate. You'll have a pop set within a day, you can create a pickup alliance full of people wanting freelot N.Body and D.Body without an hour, and in all likelihood, you'll end up making at least your initial investment back each run. You're basically profiting until you get W.Legs.

[BerenTebogo]

Hermes are 1.2m which isn't worth paying $10 and doing a shitty expansion just to get.

Unless these pants can be better or on par with hachiryu this expac can go suck my balls.

[Max™]

I ain't got Hachi legs, Ares legs, or even Relic legs.

I WS in Haidate/Fucking Fourth Schoss.

I also lost all my gil making means cause I was a farmwhore and they broke my will to make gil.

If I could get like Str +2 Movement Speed +12% augments, then it's a pretty sweet upgrade as is, and my WS gear would be run fast gear.
