Kind of disappointed by the level 99 Magian Staves. :(

Only fast cast-2% added. Oh well, I guess they're pretty powerful as it is, but I felt really excited for the final product.
At least they have their own names now? :D...

Don't forget the +2 DMG :)
If you ask me it seems the new name and basically "NQ" status of the lv99 weapons opens up future possibilities of even more trials for upgrades. I don't know I just think it's curious with the change(BST axe got a new axe model for 99 though I don't think it's new NEW but it's different from before) and I'm headed to bed shortly.

The naming is because people pissed and moaned about macros. If you were looking for another point of affinity, 1.) you already got it last update and 2.) your already +6 is 10x more powerful a bonus then the bonus on any other trial weapon.
Honestly yeah I was kind of hoping for some more affinity either in damage or accuracy. I understand that we got it the last update and I'm happy we did. I was just hopeful.
I am thankful they have their own names though. Maybe one day we can glue all of them together, haha.

Aye, tier II and III staves (http://www.ffxiah.com/search/item?q=vourukasha) were added to the game too.

It might be silly, but I hope they eventually switch back to the elemental staff models. I liked being able to look at the ball on the end and make sure in a glance I had the right one equipped, even with spell macros that changed weapons on the first line.

Note the names of the staves: they will probably still have further upgrades.
Actually, I haven't gotten to my SMN staves yet, but I have a suspicion I is for Magic Damage, II is for Magic Accuracy, and III is for the summoner one, unless someone can prove evidence otherwise?
I tried to trade the I staff in for another trial and none was available, but maybe in the future there will be more.
Edit: Appears I was right:
