So do we get to board the pirate's ships in Norg?



How is an overcrowded place convienient? In Yuhtunga & Garliage that often just causes more downtime or massive deaths.

Since it doesn't require Zilart expansion, I doubt the new areas will be linked to Norg.

These places are convenient to get to, that's why they're overcrowded, and they're like the only place to level for a level range. Ask any 45 party to level on Flies in CN, or Cockatrice in Onzozo, guess where will they choose.

Maybe they mean floating castles, and objects in the sky that you can hop on to from steps or something. I dunno, use your imagination, but this game is really lacking when it comes to moving up and down.

I hope they don't making jumping around necessary if they're making maps more 3d. Going to be a head ache to pull mobs and jump up and down on rocks to get back to the exp party. And if you mess up on a jump and fall many you'll aggro a bunch of other mobs. Sneaking through an area that requires some jumping around up and down is going to be a headache too. All in all I think making maps very 3d where jumping around is needed would be a mistake. People already complain about trains in like CN when people are working on a 2d field. Imagine if pullers in CN had to jump around to pull stuff or get to a certain some where. I'm sure there would be way more trains if it were possible.

I see Bahamut coming with this one...

Heard about 'holy' dragons in the dragoon quest, where are they?
They have fewer and fewer places to hide...

Just wanted to add.....Preview music is the shi.............sh!!.

So if it's not connected to the Zilart storyline-wise why would you get more out of it if you have both? Is it because you have access to ROTZ areas?

Because If you have the ziraat expansion some things are explained in it that realte directly to Chains of Promathia that have nothing to do with the ziraat themselves. There are storyline elements you will understand more, if you have the expansion. trust me on this.


Spoiler...Kinda like how Dynamis relates to the shadowlord.Without being directly related to ziraat expansion. But is very important to the future of the shadowlord and vanadiel. And some of the characters that were killed off during The reunification missions.

New battle music? Yay!

[Lone Dragon]

Four things.

1: Yes, the Music from the CoP page does kick ass.
2: I think this EX. will give a big boost to DRGs in one way or another.
After the Penta Spam nerf, they really need one.
I believe they let themselves nerf DRG in this way AND that they will give it a few extras because they will be...
3: Adding a crap load of exp-able dragons.
I see Bahamut coming with this one...I feel it, baby.
I bet the whole island will be lousy with dragon types.
4: Is the Fall in Japan the same as Fall in the US?
Be nice to get it earlier than Sept.
Dumbass question? Maybe, but just answer.

[Kiyosuki]

Honestly I'm very anxious to see what kind of things may be made for the jobs that exist now.

Sure, there's no new jobs announced but some really great things could be made for the jobs that we have now.

Since this is a whole new expansion, some really big stuff could be brought in for the jobs we have!

Ofcourse there's always the possibility nothing will happen to the jobs too..

You can't lose hope though.

Both Japan and the United States are in the Northern Hemisphere, so yes it's the same fall season.

That's what I thought, but I was hoping for something different. ~_~;

People keep saying that everyone is too scared to make PTs and go to new areas. I'm sorry but I’ll have to disagree on that. It's not worth the trouble making PTs to going to these new areas that no one is at. I've tried it many times and I still say it's not worth it. Lets take Valkurm for example. Everyone here knows Korolocola <sp tunnel is like pre qufim. Probably at least 3x better to level in than in Valkurm. But the problem is that 99.9% of the people "LFG" have their flags stuck up in Valkurm or places very close to it. Go tell 5 people from Valkurm to go to Bastok and see what happens. 1 will die on the way, 1 of them will probably make it, 1 person will probably get lost, and 1 person won't even know what Bastok is. 1 person will say "sorry g2g kthxbye" by the time everyone gets there.

Lol, I’ll just show some proof to support what I said. A few nights ago I was trying to find a level up pt in Valkurm. I was a 16 Warrior. I got invited into a PT and there was already another importer in it and a NA. Eventually the PT became 2 JPs, 2 Importers, and 2 NAs. We decided to go to Korolocola <sp Tunnel since the PT setup was very good and Valkurm had its usual 200+ people in it.

Here’s a little Trivia question. You have 2 NAs, 2 JPs, and 2 Impoters traveling a long distance to a great EXP spot. By the time you get to Bastok, how many of those 6 people do you think were left? Oh geeze the NAs left! What a surprise! -_- 1 of them said “sorry g2g� by the time we reached highlands and the other NA kept bitching that it took too long to walk to Bastok and he just ended up leaving by the time we got to N Gustaburg.

This left the 4 of us stranded. There weren’t any people on invite near Bastok. We tried asking people and everything. We ended up having to get an importer that walked from Valkurm and 1 that came from Airship in Jeuno. We sat there for over an hour to get members by the time we got to Bastok. A total pain in he ass but the PT ended up being 5000exp+/hour and I went from like level 16.1 to 19.8 in 1 freaking pt. Those NAs who “had to go� sure missed out.

Just supporting my statement that even though there will be all these great new areas to level up at, you’ll never PT there unless you get a JP PT or you’re in a set pt.

Yup, sounds like what happened when I levelled SAM. I'm levellin RDM for solo/skill/coffer/mining etc, I can't wait to hit 15/16 and ask dumbshits to come hunting in korroloka with me.

Not really. Some of us just need the Japanese PS2 version.

[Senshi Soniti]

Hmm- if you just buy the JP PC version one then you'd have the content ID registered, and you could find some NA one that a friend has. ( this is what I'm doing.) Because you already have the content ID, you wont have to input the same info twice.

Or you could find a nice download spot in the internet ( only if you already have the content ID purchased mind you. )
