Yeah I'm lovin' that Sakura petals jammy. Really hoping one of those spells is a self-haste spell, actually. Is there any hint in the translation that could allude to that? Would be interesting for soloing. I dunno what else it could be to help NIN become a more desirable job. Its a shame, I picked it up again to do TotM stuff and I'd forgotten how much fun it really was to play.

I also did a few trials on Ninja and had forgotten how much fun it is. I stopped before finishing them to work on trials that might make a difference since I'd actually use them for something, but meh. I'm really hoping that Ninja comes back to something other than a "I want to solo EP mobs on a melee job that I don't care about TH on for a while" job.

Huh.. Funny. SE added new dats for Stoneja and Waterja instead of using the existing Stonega and Waterga IV dats. I wonder what they have in store for the -ga line then.

I was actually hoping they would just go ahead and "finish" the games spells as well. Heres a video from youtube with most of the Black magic spells in the .dats.

Call me crazy but with the game dying down so much, I don't think any of it woulda been too gamebreaking. Obviously some spells (break,death) etc would be nerfed but am I the only player who was really hoping for the original mob spells to be useable by players with the cap rising to lvl99? 2 other spells that come to mind I was hoping for were Massacre Elegy and SAN ninjutsu spells. Im kinda dssapointed but maybe spells like that are just too gamebreaking to be usable by the player base. Anyone else share my dissapoint?

Really hoping RDM will eventually at least get the tierI Ga enfeebles and Grav II. Two more updates left or just one?

[Hanyoko]

Ha! Suck it all you people that said Boost wouldn't be AoE!


...oh wait, I guess we all have to suck it it.

I guess WHM's will have to play earlyBRD/COR and try to stand just right to make sure certain jobs get certain boosts. But really it will just be: Boost-STR on melee's and be done with it, maybe Boost-MND for yourself.
SCH merited ele buffs will probably be the same bonus but better for singling out.

Loving that new COR head, was really hoping one of the boots would be a peg leg. lol
BST is ugly.
PUP will prolly look alot better on a taru.

If they make the drops similar to the accessories, where only a certain NM drops them, that has potential to suck.

SCH stormsurge comes from a weather icon buff; so it will most likely stack

[Draylo]

They can still add those spells last minute. They can also still add them past the final cap at 99, nobody said the game will be finished once it hits 99. I like the jester hat myself, looks awesome.

[fredjanx]

(from youtube)

In Beta, the spells Br_s, Brav, and Char were all there, along with others. Only they were named Barsk, Agunis, Tera, Aqua, Airis, and Char. Each spell corresponds to an element, and turns damage by that element into healing. So, if you cast Barsk on yourself, and something cast Thundaga on you, instead of taking damage, the spell would heal you.

Barsk = Thunder
Agunis = Ice
Char = Fire
Aqua = Water
Airis = Wind
Tera = Earth

Fact, or hoax?

[miokomioko]

How could anyone ever know the actual function of the spell, regardless of an animation and a filename being in the .DATs?

edit: I misread I guess. I think this is bull. I have read quite a few things on FFXI Beta back in the day. There was never mention of such spells, or even the removal of spells.

[Mohit]

goldfish will make great abyssea skillups! especially for mages

Oh I'm sure it will, which could be pretty awesome, no DD is gonna say no to +~10 or so STR, just that in most cases, until they are all added, I don't see whm getting much action out of those spells, at least, not practically.
