Prep. Update Data Mine (Aug 31 2010)

[Sabishii]

am i the only one thinking it might stack with CA SATA? (doubting but) if it does +100 att maybe 200 how much damage would that effect CASATA Cannonball? (presuming att stacks with it)

No idea, since attack doesn't work with spells, but you mean some sort of potency bonus or a "blue magic physical attack+" thing right? I don't know the numbers needed to calculate the damage. But my thinking is, if it affects physical spells, it could be a way for BLU/NIN or anything not /THF to damage high defense or higher level mobs without SA, particularly with multihit spells.

But it could be lame (relatively) and just be some sort of attack boost like the monk JA. Still would be nice though for a WS.

they make more sense together

My eyes are bleeding

[Suljin]

pup af3 seems cool, I just wish SE would stop with the wtfshitty colors, orange really? Cant it be . . . .something less ugly? God id kill just to wear aphmaus outfit

edit: also should be interresting to see what they call the new pieces, since for example, I doubt the jester hat will be called a taj.

[Toth]

My PUP ; ; Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Draylo]

Any chance of seeing those spells ?

[Sho]

Might have to abyssea PUP to 85 just for the Jester AF. Just looks too awesome to me... hopefully the body rounds it out.

[Yugl]

How do you find these in the dats anyways?

[Spira]

ok all AF sets showed together.

WAR BLM RDM PLD definitely missing, as well as all body and hand pieces

edit: btw if anyone is looking for abyssea zone maps
its

Rom/254/56-58

edit 2: to Yugl
just gotta manually search for them and create your own list

[Priran]

Just because that stuff wasn't in the preparatory update doesn't mean they won't be coming this update. We know for sure there's supposed to be a new bugard model with a ton of shit on its face, for example, and it doesn't make any sense to leave out those 4 jobs.

That being said, MNK's AF3 body better look damn sweet because the rest of it is boring.

My upload speed and connection is pretty shitty atm, which is why I didn't upload a vid. Tummie also mentioned before I even made my first post that he would anyways.

However, I uploaded my Blue Magic spell list to SendSpace, if you want to download the .csv file and copy it over the older file in your AltanaView's Effects folder:

Maybe they're adding a surprise job called Jester, that does nothing and everyone gets to makes fun of. Even PUP and DRG! Could be Mime, don't they like to imitate and stuff?! But in all seriousness, some of these sets look pretty cool. I'm just glad they're not all repainted old AF models.

[Odin'sLaw]

wear pup af or relic for 1-2 years you'll see why pups are like "i'm going to fuck you over the head with a crowbar"

If you know how to manipulate the Excel sheets in each of the folders, you can do a trial/error method of seeing all of the effects and gear, by typing up:

251/0-127
252/0-127
253/0-127
254/0-127
255/0-127
256/0-127
257/0-127
258/0-127

... and dropping it to the end of each Excel sheet, then manually tabbing through effects to see all effects/equipment. Typing <number>/0-127 will collect all of the dat files for you (from the main ROM folder) and integrate it into AltanaView. The <number> portion being the newly added numbered folders from the most current update. Finding which spell it is just takes some sleuthing around the dat names and/or remembering how certain attacks look.

Wouldn't be new to Final Fantasy!

Regardless, it's nice to see that AF3s are a bit more than just reskinned AF1 and 2s.
Wonder why BLM, PLD, WAR and RDM ones aren't in the .DATs yet.

[Spira]

all it says is its not in the prep update.. but going by how stuff is released, the 4 missing jobs af pieces will be added.

its possible the body and hands might not be included at all tho.. but even then if its ready they could just add those files in first

The pup af AF is also reminiscent of the Harlequin bonus character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

The other two missing BLU spells are new. The wind one (also seen in the update pic) looks nothing like the wind moves we know and the other looks like an absorb spell (like Voracious Trunk).
