The Version Update Has Arrived! (06/21/2010)

Someone has already put that up on wiki as G6.

We'll have it confirmed when someone actually finishes it.

And GRRRRR I traded in 10 K-seals before I logged off so I could have the inventory space back! Oh well, I think I've only got one meripo stored up right now anyhow.


Unfortunately for me, that'll be a while, because of the brain-damaged update process: download file list, check files, download update, install... the problem is that if the "download update" part fails to connect, it starts again at step 1, and the file check on PS2 takes like 10-15 minutes. Between the time that my button changed from grayed-out "Play" to "Check Version" and the time that it had finished checking files, the downloads were already swamped. In almost three hours I've only been able to do the file check like four times.

Can anyone confirm (maybe via .dat mining) that Genkai 6 "New Worlds Await" is really the following:

Trade the Nomad Moogle 5 Kindred's Seals while having 3 stored Merit Points.

Ok....i know i was complaining a bit about RDM getting shafted earlier and my complaints were probably a bit unfounded and was wishing for to much and some of you where right for pointing that out and i realize that.
But FUCK!!!! SE! really? why are you so intent on constantly nerfing stuff that doesnt need to be touched/altered/upgraded/ANYTHING! It was fine where it was and would've been!
I believe my complaining is rightly founded this time around and im not going to be changing my ground on it this time. -.-

why did they bother with aquaveil? unless it becomes like shadows i think it will destroy it...and hoping they didnt up it recast time to boot.

other than that i guess im pretty excited to see what all unfolds. stoked about the new weapons though for sure....hope they adjusted the amount of "cluster type" mobs need to be killed....they just a pain in the ass.

According to the French update notes it's sounding like Aquaveil will work as interuppt shadows of sorts. I wouldn't bank on it though.

What's really silly is how the enmity change has the potential to outright kill off tanking options. Without RDM and NIN, that just leaves PLD. Are we really supposed to be ok with SE telling us that if we want to tank there's only one class that's allowed to do it? Did I miss something here?

You know, S-E said they were considering giving Blue Mage Dual Wield. We already know Dancer has it now, but if Blue Mage got it Ninja'd in with their new spells, and somehow has it available under level 50 (extremely unlikely), I might consider finishing up my /BLU sub and start singing the praises of Suppanomimi.

Actually, I might definitely do that, if that were the case. Dual Wield and EX Sword Weaponskills and MP to boot?

WTF! Leave Aquaveil alone!

Unless of course it's a guaranteed interruption absorption "shadow". In which case Go SE! Sooooo... we'll see.

Other than that...

DMG 52 delay 224 sword. I want. NOW.

So it was stating 2.5 hours to download and has now shot up to 5 hours.

Sorry, by that I meant dwindling of the population. Not all of the servers shutting down completely. I know that they can merge servers, when the population gets low, to keep the game going longer. Plus it was mainly a joke stating that SE will make it impossible for us to get these weapons in the amount of time before FFXIV releases!

NO! WERE OUT OF OPTIONS! (Jumps out of a one story window.)

Because EQII was totally the death knell for Everquest.

Seriously, people, I expect better than this from you.

Probably for the end result ya. we dont get the final add on till December and the damage path for both albion and ultimatum took me 2 months all together.

Knowing SE, even though FFXI is slowly dying with the release of FFXIV coming closer,

It says that the weapons are slumbering until taken up by heroes who would avert the world from danger. To me that means that the weapons had already been enchanted by ancient magian moogles and now just need to be found.

Treasure Casket hunting for everyone!

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (06/21/2010)

Lazy bastards!

Sounds kind of like it's going to be a Relic/Mythic situation though where we get a weak base weapon and then have to upgrade it with various things. Perhaps that's where the Magian Moogle will come in :O

Knowing SE, even though FFXI is slowly dying with the release of FFXIV coming closer, getting one of these weapons will require a year worth of work!

We'll only know once the update is finished I guess.
