Hello SE,

It's the end of January. Any news about what is in the February update?

[Shirai]

There are bits out there:

Some bits and pieces on the main site: http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/index.shtml
Mentioning Mog Garden expansions, job adjustments, new job point categories, an increase in the maximum number of participants in Unity chat. Just to name a few.

Pretty sure he's talking about Matsui's usual "Details on the Upcoming Version Update" post.

[Malthar]

That is correct.

[Olor]

Yes please!!

[Sapphire]

We don't always get one of those posts. They tend to come with the "bigger" updates and they don't even go up until most of the individual [dev XXXX] posts go up. We've gotten one of those so far.

[Malthar]

It's always good to prod sometims.

[dasva]

Yeah plus I thought this update was supposed to be bigger and include things the last one missed

[Malithar]

Pretty sure he's talking about Matsui's usual "Details on the Upcoming Version Update" post.

This was already posted here. (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/45830-Freshly-Picked-Vana-diel-15-Digest?p=538523&viewfull=1#post538523)


February Version Update Preview

For the next version update we’re working on the following content.

New Alluvion Skirmishes
We’ll be adding new Alluvion skirmishes that take place in Yorcia Weald. You’ll be able to add a third arcane glyptic to weapons and we’ll also be preparing new armor sets. The rewards will be stronger, but naturally the mechanics will also be enhanced, so please look forward to it!

New Job Point Categories
We’ll be adding two new job point categories for each job.

Additional Gifts
We’ll be adding high-tier elemental magic that can be learned through Gifts. There will also be useful Gifts for those jobs that do not utilize magic.

Unity Chat Cap Increase
As we have been using the linkshell system for Unity chat, the current cap is 64 players, but we will be making adjustments to increase this number.

Additional Mog Garden Elements
*The video shows a new section for monster rearing.
In the February version update we will be increasing the monster rearing rank and also introducing a new area for monster rearing where you’ll be able to raise new kinds of monsters.

I STILL can't figure out why Mog Gardens are taking priority over Monstrosity when we've been asking and asking for updates ... and yet no one asks for the Monster Rearing stuff.

[Malthar]

because monstrosity scares the little children.

[dasva]

because monstrosity scares the little children.

Yeah but monster rearing makes little qiqirn cry!

[Malthar]

Qiqirn are beastmen, not monsters, so they have no danger of being violated.

What if it was a zombie outbreak?

[Protey]

please SE, save us from this derail.

[Malthar]

Monsters are being reared everywhere!

[dasva]

What if it was a zombie outbreak?

Who says it hasn't?

Since the Reps going to point out Matsui's post today in this thread like they did before in Malthar's other threads..

Linkshell/Linkshell2 has duplicate entries from the Monster Rearing section when it should be about LS2 shortcut keys and about being able to equip linkpearls from Mog Case, Mog Sack, and Mog Satchel.
