Going to see alot of mages not going to do anyyything in-game when gs crash :<

It's highly likely that a lot of stuff will break after this update. They're probably going to be changing both the packets and memory.

Do we have a date for the update yet?

If it was only a matter of gameplay, that's no big deal to play without gearswap...but I'd have to rewrite millions of macros to play vanilla!!!

My game crashes if I try to launch it without windower, something about direct 3D.

As a follow-up to the post from yesterday, we will also be making adjustments to beetle familiars in the August version update.

The effect of Hi-Freq Field used by the following pets will be changed.

Hurler Percival / Panzer Galahad / Beetle Familiar

Effect

• Reduced evasion effect value will change from -25% to -40.

• Accuracy will be increased.

If we were to add an additional tier to Migawari, it will grant players immunity to damage for longer periods of time which would directly affect game balance. Due to this, we have no plans to add additional tiers of Migawari.

We’re currently looking into making Accession work with Haste, so please wait a bit longer.

However, we have no plans to add additional AoE haste spells for players as it would reduce the effectiveness of Garuda's utility.

We are planning to make the Ternion dagger usable by dancers.

We'll make a follow-up if we hear more information about the other requests in this thread.

This was posted as a question to why Cor wasn't given a 119 dagger from Unity and they respond by saying they're adding DNC to one, so not at all useful to Cor in any way lol

Currently the testing team is in the midst of verifying this while they improve the environment; however, they cannot determine for sure that FFXI will operate properly. At the moment our official answer is that we do not recommend using Windows 10 for FFXI.

If you have trouble triggering certain events in Rhapsodies of Vana’diel, it is more than likely that one or more of those characters integral to that section is currently tied up in another non-Rhapsodies story mission that you have active.

Thanks for your continued feedback and patience on this subject.

In regards to the various Notorious Monster trigger items, we’re considering a change that would make it possible to deliver these items between characters on the same account. It’s possible that this will be difficult to implement for all items at the same time, so we’re thinking of gradually adding this feature to each trigger item.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the development team has been looking into adjustments for coalitions, and they are planning to make the following adjustments in the next version update.

• It will become harder for coalitions to rank down.

• It will become easier for coalitions to rank up.

• Modifications will be made to the rewards associated with coalitions.

After these adjustments, we'll observe the outcome and plan further adjustments for November's version update if they are necessary.

These adjustments have been planned with the long term in mind, so please be patient while we finalize everything.

In thanks for your dedicated service to the world of Vana'diel, we will be giving special in-game gifts to those with an active PlayOnline/FINAL FANTASY XI subscription via a SQUARE ENIX account during the period of Monday, June 1, 2015, to Friday, July 31.
* Monday, August 3: details regarding Mog Pells (Red) and Mog Pells (Green) have been added.
* Tuesday, August 11: details regarding the distribution schedule on Mog Pells (Red) has been added.

Read on for details.

Freshly Picked Vana'diel 20 Digest

Greetings,

To coincide with the August version update, Producer Akihiko Matsui held another "Freshly Picked Vana'diel" to go over some of the new content and discuss other topics pertinent to adventuring. The following is a digest of what was discussed.

Hello, everyone.
Matsui here.

Thanks for tuning into Freshly Picked Vana’diel 20.
For those of you who were unable to watch the stream, I’ve created this digest of what was discussed.

Conclusion

That's correct; it also applies to Temper II as well. (that the effects scales with the enhancing magic skill of caster)

We’re looking into allowing players to have all three Chebukki siblings. As for them using Meteor in combat, the development team will try their best to deliver upon this request; however, there are several technical hurdles that need to be investigated first.

Hello, everyone!

Previously I mentioned that we were looking into a system that would allow you to earn items by collecting key items, and the development team has made some headway creating this, so I would like to share what’s on the horizon.

Based on feedback, we're looking into a system where you can select from two possible options after collecting five key items and talking to an NPC.
(*When exchanging for an item, the key item will be lost.)

• Option 1
  You can exchange key items for a specific material item or non-Tartarus equipment item of your choice.

• Option 2
  You can exchange key items to randomly be rewarded with a material item or equipment item, which includes Tartarus equipment.
  (*The rate of obtaining Tartarus equipment is low.)

As a couple of people have already mentioned in this thread, this means you will be able to view all cutscenes from Chains of Promathia without clearing the story.

I'd like to share information regarding the upgraded abjuration gear.

Each set of new abjuration gear has an equipment set bonus effect. The effect will take place when equipping 2 or more pieces of the same set of gear, and can be maximized by equipping the full set. Please use the following as reference when selecting your gear.
*Combination effects will only take effect with HQ gear.

Equipment Name	Combination Effect	2 Pieces	3 Pieces	4 Pieces	5 Pieces
Lustratio Gear	Weapon Skill Damage +	4	6	8	10
Souveran Gear	Damage taken -	4	6	8	10
Argosy Gear	Double Attack Rate +	4	6	8	10
Rao Gear	Augments "Martial Arts”	8	12	16	20
Carmine Gear	Accuracy +	20	30	40	50
Apogee Gear	Avatar's Blood Pact Damage +	4	6	8	10
Emicho Gear	Double Attack Rate +	4	6	8	10
Ryuo Gear	Attack +	20	30	40	50
Adhemar Gear	Critical Hit Rate +	4	6	8	10
Amalric Gear	Magic Attack +	20	30	40	50
Kaykaus Gear	"Cure" Potency II +	4	6	8	10
