[Dev] Upcoming Version Update Announcement

I'd be totally ok with them reusing Jujitsu Gi, Yinyang robe was one of the cooler model and job crossover reuses of an armor piece ever back in the day.

Manibozho/Mikinak/Kariyeh is some of the ugliest stuff theyve added to the game. Some people are okay with wearing mismatched/ugly crap as long as it has the best stats, im not one of those people.

One of the contributing factors to me chasing after stuff is 'does it look cool' - if the dev team doesnt recognize that as part of the formula in creating content+motivation for people to do things, then they are out of touch.

Have you even beaten the delve mega boss? There are still things to do in FFXI that are fun, working towards that is a start. Not sure why you feel the need to advertise the fact you quit but w/e, you are still posting here on a dead game that you hate?!

Yeah, hoping for anything usefull from there, would make SoA fun for both ally and low man content.

Cool, geo/run AF in August. Too bad I'll be playing ffxiv and won't care anymore. Thanks SE!

this update looking great. dont see why everyone raging over it. i wanna know more about this. "Addition of weapons, animators for puppetmaster, and throwing items for summoner." guessing the weaker version of the delve weapons etc can be bought with Bayld?:) if so this will be epic.

Oh my, I didn't think you were that much of an idiot.

I'm merely showing that instead of crying that the game sucks, if you're unhappy with the game, take the appropriate step. Which I did, that is all.

Posting on a dead game, that's comedy gold right here. Check my post history, you might look less dumb next time.

As for what you said that is actually about FFXI, it all boils down to one very simple thing:

The way FFXI is right now, if you don't have a proper group (which a very small minority of people have), you won't have instant fun when you log on. I don't want to play a game that does not allow me to have instant fun.

And don't worry about my achievements, I have done enough.

I sold my account last year, still post here, and will continue to. Problem? Lots of people here have moved on, its not a requirement that we play the game to post here. And we don't have to like the game to post here either.

Yeah thanks SE! I'll still give you my money though ^0^ bye c u n ffxiv ^^

Just makes you look a little sad, I'm not losing sleep over it though. Is it a requirement that you respond? You seem to have the problem with me pointing that fact out.

I don't care if it's the last thing I do in this game but I'm going to get that *** pink umbrella hat.

I wont lose sleep over looking sad in your eyes.

I'm guessing the 'throwing weapons thing' for summoner is a mistranslation and it may be an alternator style ranged/ammo piece that makes avatars more powerful like they did with pup puppets?

its orange isnt it? :<

more like a scarlet

They could have even more of my money if DQX would come stateside already.

Red, orange, whatev. fite me

Not sure why i was picturing it as pink. Colors are hard :(

Then create the proper group or look to join one. This game never had "instant fun" unless you enjoyed the mini game like chocobo racing or pankration. So I'm not sure what made you finally decide to quit if that was your requirement.

that looks orange to me ;A;

The other stuff is definitely a coral pink :<

My telling actual colors apart skill is all ***, shouldn'tve leveled Graphic Design in abyssea man :( Now ill never get into high level content :(

(although i hear it doesnt matter much in group play anyway.)


we shall suffer together as we afk skill "colors" ;A;!

Well that was somewhat an underwhelming updates. Oh well, guess just gotta wait for the next 3 big major updates for this game to get better. Slow but steady, the FFXI way, always and forever, 10 years and counting lol. Good thing there are tons of games on 3DS to tide me over and the little gem that is FF14: insta crack, sweet and short, for those who want it NOW, and not waiting for every single thing when playing a game.

This phrase has always bothered me. Not everyone is so fortunate as to be able to do that as they please.

If you aren't a very well-known player (in a positive light), most if not all groups will not risk inviting you along to boss clears. As for creating groups, many are even deadlocked at trying to simply get their Wildskeeper wins because zones have such horrendously low colonization rates that boss attempts would be futile.

All the best Linkshells that have succeeded already have their rosters filled and well-known acquaintances to call upon if needed. They won't take on unknown, new members out of kindness of their heart. All they'll do is offer a win for those with wealth.

I thought Caith Sith and Atomos was surely coming for this update. 1/2 year late come on SE get on the ball.

Sigh... so the rich get richer, the casual get even more left behind, until SE decided it's time to open the gate and introduce purchasable KI that weakens the boss so you can do it with 12 people or less, similar to how they did it with Voidwatch? Hopefully? Right now you have to be really focus on gearing yourself and 200% dedication to playing this game or you won't be able to enjoy the new contents. Or just wait till further updates would ease up the difficulty and make it more feasible for everyone to participate, usually this will happen in 12-18 months after that said content is launched.

By that time FFXI will be a ghost town.

"Good morning!

We understand that many of you have been looking forward to the implementation of Cait Sith for some time now and we apologize that we have pushed it back and are making you wait longer.

The development team is would really like to implement this as soon as possible, but they are devoting a lot of their energy to the new jobs on the way as well as completely revamping the special abilities for each job.

Just to give you some insight as to how far along they are with Cait Sith, the avatar can currently be summoned and fight alongside characters; however, no abilities or effects have been added as of yet. Creating effects and adjusting abilities is pretty dense work, but they are working as hard as they can.

We apologize that we cannot give a concrete date for implementation, but we will be sure to let you know of any updates as we hear them. "

Well not sure about that, I mean, if you just ignore SoA for now, there are still TONS of things to do in FFXI. Just pretend SoA never happened, and you will be just fine. Everything works as intended. And tons of stuffs to do, yes it is not considered top tiers and mostly are "outdated" so to speak in comparison to SoA gears + weapons. Or you can take a break till more updates being added :) It will take a good 3-5 more updates, which should bring it to a year or so. Abyssea is still not dead yet - and SE will celebrate it for two months with free atmas. Seems like they know SoA is all over the place, and the poor guy is overwhelmed with works and stressed, he can't even plan more than 3-4 months in advance...

Release more 6 man events and I'll play FFXI more. Don't want to be in a 18 man linkshell that will most likely screw you over. I been making money and getting decent gear just playing with friend static.

This so much, I'm a fashion *** and won't wear some gear despite great stats if its ugly(tp set anyways)

to be honest that would be a cool idea for smn if they allowed craftable one use abilities sold in stacks to be used via job ability along with smn avatars.

No really that would be awesome, it'd have to be avatar and spirit related or it can be a consumable that procs additional abilities, auras, enhances avatar/sprits or allows complimentary spirits to be used in conjunction with avatars....

I should make an OF acct and post that possibly
