They should raise the level cap of abyssea to 70 so we can enjoy/learn to play these new jobs instead of just keywhoring them to 99. and.. I hope all new new bosses in this expansion are like lvl 200 so people cant just embrava all the DD's and spam kill.

I was thinking about the plight of new jobs in this age of Abyssea. I wonder if it'll even have like a shitty JSE and AF1 that people won't even get.

I agree to this because I've been forced to level 11 of my jobs to 75 long before the level cap increases. Everyone else should have to also! Oh and downgrade some of the main story line quest BC fights back down. Making them too easy degrades the experience way to much :[ Probably wont though considering the reward isn't as well.. rewarding anymore. People would simply refuse to do it maybe.

So impose another roadblock to people's own way of enjoying a job?
Not everybody that burns is completely useless as a player/job they burned. Some people like having more time to play a job, then grind through countless hours of parties where only....
This is all off topic though and shouldn't be discussed here though as this is the Vana'fest thread.

Yeah cuz blu's with only feather storm and head butt at 99 aren't useless at all >.> That was my idea.. and since this thread is a vanafest thread, the future of XI, I think its allowed. but yeah, I wont get in a debate about it.

I burned BLU and I'm in no way useless as a BLU. Capped Blue Magic, almost all spells (only missing Body Slam and 3 HNM spells), and know how to equip spells. Some people are just... special and don't feel the need to do farm spells and properly gear before playing a job.
Yes burning sucks when you have people with gimp skills. No, Burning alone isn't the problem.
Placing all of the blame on burning alone isn't right.
Also, I've seen people GoV burn to 75 in Gusgen Mines... So I guess the GoV system is messed up too and should be removed since people use it to burn.

I'm all for 70+ aby cap too. The best fun I've had in FFXI was getting to 75 and exploring all the none-aby content.

They said last night during the live stream that they are an example of NPC's we will encounter in the new expansion area.

They mentioned in the Dev stream that these would be some of the NPC`s you`d meet in the new areas. They didn't go into much detail they just said they were NPC`s.

He's matching up the shadowed images of the unknown job to the concept art displayed in a previous post. While it's true the bottom does show some resemblance on the female, it doesn't on the male. It was mentioned that these have already been announced as NPCs. If you look at the female in the concept art, her body expression shows that she has her own personality. In most concept art made for display purposes, usually don't portray own personalities.

Guy is some guy duped by main mega boss for story-line/becomes some nasty evil-infused being, I'd say girl is the new "leading lady" for the story line...but following XI tradition, she's too old, lol.

She is definitely the main character check the amano art on the site and she matches up perfectly.

Okay, I see all this new info about new jobs... new story line quests... new monsters... but who cares about all that?
The really important stuff has yet to be discussed:
1) Are they going to be bringing ballista to these new areas?
1 a) If yes, can we please get some brenner?
2) Pankration. Can we use these new mobs? Are we going to be able to battle our pankration monsters in this new continent?
^This my friends, this is the stuff that matters.

Hmm, could this be the new Great Sword centric job? I'm kinda hoping so... though it would be unfortunate you can't add it to Relic/Empy.
Then again, dev team might surprise us.

I can’t believe FINAL FANTASY XI turned 10 this year! I’m excited to bring adventurers around the world the up-to-the-minute news as it happens at VanaFest 2012, just as we did previously in 2010. We’ve learned a lot since then and we’re excited to introduce things in a new and unique way, lots of video streaming, more behind-the-scenes and more fun teasers leading up to the show. Adventurers, be sure not to miss all the excitement of VanaFest 2012 because I can say… it’s going to be a big show!
Devin “Camate” Casadey
VanaFest 2010 was a blast and covering the entire event through social media was a lot of fun. This year, since it is the 10th year anniversary, we are kicking it up a notch and broadcasting live and I think it’s going to take this event to a whole new level. I’ll be doing my best to create a really fun and informative live stream so that even our player base back at home in North America can enjoy the event. Make sure to procure some snacks, get your friends together, and tune in, because VanaFest 2012 is going to be amazing and like never before!
Bethany “Rukkirii” Stout

Live Coverage| Camate and Bayohne will be live streaming the events of VanaFest 2012, covering the big announcements and taking a behind-the-scenes look at the show floor. On the day of the event, we’ll have two streams active. The Japanese stream will cover the main stage events throughout and will be presented in Japanese only, but will be very useful to follow along with and enjoy the musical performances! The Community Team will be providing updates during that time in as-real-time-as-possible on Twitter and forums. The English video stream will host live reports that summarize the announcements after they’re completed and may include some special guests! |
