Aug 20, 2010 - 10:03 AM - by Malacite | 
Are you one of the many adventurers testing your limits through Trial of the Magians? If so, you'll be pleased to know that a host of additions and improvements are on the way, promising to make this system more rewarding than ever!
Read on for the details!

Are you one of the many adventurers testing your limits through Trial of the Magians? If so, you'll be pleased to know that a host of additions and improvements are on the way, promising to make this system more rewarding than ever!
Introduction of Armor Trials
 To this point, Trial of the Magians has focused on the enhancement of weapons. New trials to be introduced in the coming version update, however, will be centered on a new series of armor that will be obtainable in Abyssea. A unique set will exist for each job, and when augmented through trials, their powers will truly be a sight to behold!
Additional Weapon Trials
 Along with the all-new armor trials, additional weapon trials will also see their debut. Through these, weapons obtained via past trials, including Empyrean weapons, may be augmented to heretofore-uncharted levels of power. These weapons will not only boast improved attributes, but also allow their wielders to unleash new weapon skills.
The Marvelous Magian Spectacles
Is there anything these stylish and practical specs can't do? With the next version update, the tome summoned forth by this item will provide you with a two-day weather forecast for your current area.
Objective Adjustments
The objectives of certain trials, including monster types, weather/weekday conditions and finishing blows are scheduled to receive refinements.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I totally saw this coming. AF3 = magian trials (so maybe there will be multiple versions of each AF3? That'd be awesome) and new Empyreal WS! I didn't expect them to adjust the difficulty of trials again though. Good thing they did the killshots thing because the trials for Relic & Mythics are unbearable (1k+ killshots with the WS...)

"That evil demon king can scheme till he turns to fossil, but Uka and I are always ready for whatever vileness he cares to throw at us. After all, with your hearty cheering to power our Dancing Force, there's no night that we can't change into a sunshiny day! Here we go: Shining Summer Samba!!!"
Find out what's in store for everyone's favorite frolicking fraulein at this year's Sunbreeze Festival!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A long time ago, on the farthest edges of living memory, a lone meteorite came hurtling down from the sky, finally coming to rest in a lightless corner of Vana'diel. From the molten core of this extraterrestrial rock emerged the demon king Ullegore, whose sole desire was the complete and utter eradication of joy and jubilance from the world. To perpetrate his devilry, Ullegore traversed the land in search of festivals, sowing the seeds of ennui wherever his foul shadow fell. One after the next, smiles were reduced to frowns, and hearty laughter silenced behind pursed lips.
Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, there arose an unlikely young heroine who would pluck Vana'diel back from the precipice of eternal tedium: Fantastic Fraulein Mumor! Seemingly an ordinary stage starlet, Mumor is in truth a magically imbued fighter possessed of the ability to convert the spirited cheering of her fans into a formidable force with which to vanquish evil. Aided by her girl-next-door good looks and winsome ways, Mumor danced and sang her way into the hearts of folk the Middle Lands over, restoring smiles to the faces of children and grownups alike.
