RDMs don't raise people enough in Campaign, so no updates for them yet

QFT.

Of all the planned updates the ones I'd like to see most are SMN (quit teasing us already SE) and that skillchain resist rate adjustment. Oh yeah and single target songs will rock. Refreshing PLD will no longer be a painstaking nightmare. (or giving RNG Minuet for that matter)

SE said at fanfest that new Blue Magic and Phantom Rolls would be add durin first update of the year, so at the very least, we should be seeing those, but I'm hoping for some tweaks to SCH as well as those teleportation spells for WHM and BLM. BRD single-target conversion ability would be nice too.

There will be. SE is just being secretive about it.

I'm starting to wonder if there is even going to be any job changes in this update.

Haste = White Mage, Slow = Black Mage.

I think. It's been a while since I played my FF1 remake.

According to my NES FF1 manual, BLM gets both.

In FF3 NES, Haste was White Magic and there was no Slow.

In FF4, Haste and Slow were both white magic, but Stop was black magic. -- Pteryx

Even in the remakes Haste and Slow are black magic, and usable by BM, BW, RM, RW, and NIN.

Actually, I think Regain should go to BLM BBQ.

FFXI is supposed to be heavily based on FF1-3, and in FF1 BLM actually had a few party buffs (Steel and Temper)

Also, Haste and Slow. =/

Or something worthwhile like guarantees weather effects.

That would completely void the Elemental Obis. Besides, how could that be enhanced by having a Scholar in the party(or having any use whatsoever without a Scholar?)

The ring would have to have quite the bonus to drag people away from TOAU areas. And I think I can safely say that it won't have enough of one for all that.

Well unless they alter the XP dynamics or limit a ring to a certain area that requires a traditionalparty setup, then the party dynamics for will remain broken.

TPBURN>MPBURN>SC+MB(traditional party)

Is how it sits now. The last time i saw a BLM in my party was in kuftal tunnel, unless i go refresh them.

Ufourtunatly at my time of thinking this SE stated you could only equip one ring at a time, now that its been changed to only one in the inventory at a time this may hinder the exp ring thing.

My original thughts were

Empress for ToA areas when you wish to party there
Epmperor for RoZ/CoP for those who wish to get a EMP+Sanction boost in a SC+MB setting.

Its not the exp bonus they need to change they need to make older areas more appealing to players, so they dont have certain jobs sitting around doing 1. Collecting Dust, 2. Soloing for 25+ levels on a BLM, or 75 if BST 3. whatever is wrong with PUP.

For much the same reason that it would be stupid to restrict the ring in level, it would also be stupid to restrict it in terms of area you can use it in. I mean, come on, people.

I agree with you there, and since when has ANY item other than the Chocobo whistle and NPC been restricted to being used in any area. Thats just plain downright idiotic and sounds like it wasn't even thought through properly.

Sincerely i hope this ring can not be used in ToA areas i pray to Altana this will not be usable in ToA areas. If i can get into a SC+MB party's again before i quit this game i may just level BLM.

I hope the band is a higher quality band for lv 38+...

Why would you hope for a ring you can't use on your lower leveled jobs? Bonus EXP is bonus EXP, regardless of your level. And since you can only have one in your possession at a time, it makes even less sense to do that.
