Version Update Delay

[azjazo]

No problem SE, we're all hoping for the greater good of Japan and their people and all the economies of the world that are tied to yours, its a problem that will affect us all eventually, no need to act as if its not our problem too, so we should at least be understanding of the situation.

That said, it would be nice to have more news on the mayor content updates for said Version Update if you have info you were supossed to share to us during these days anyway.

Well, making the best with what we got. My heart breaks when I see the news and pictures of the devastation you guys are going through. Without the game I simply relearned all I can do with this time. Getting work down in my yard, going out with friends. I look everyday at the server status to see if it's back online but I am not missing as much as I thought I would since all the stuff around the house and in that needs to be fixed keep me busy.

Take your time, but please keep us informed. As for me, I still got a huge list of things to do in the meanwhile.

Thank You.

I think crack would have been easier to go cold turkey on, but oh well... anyhow, I've been picking up older Squaresoft/Microprose games again. I'd like to share my ultimate 1 shot build for FFT. Wizard with Math Skill, spell Holy, optional reaction ability (I always go Blade Grasp), Magic ATT UP, optional movement (Teleport). Now equip Wizard Rod, the +1 or 2 Magic head piece (Can't remember what it's called, and NOT Flash Hat), Chameleon Robe, and 108 Beads. With 80 Faith (97 if it's Ramza), you will have no trouble doing 999 dmg to everything in sight, with the robe absorbing and healing you for 999. Only thing it doesn't work on is the Ultima Demons, or perhaps that family of mobs included. Enough of that though, take care all our squiggly text friends, and hope everything gets better for ya! <peace>

Sheet. Forgot to add Math Skill > CT > 5. This should always allow you to hit everything on the map so long as you have no speed enhancements at the start of the fight. [

To our Japanese brothers and sisters, our prayers are with you. Your resilience and character is an inspiration to us all.

I am praying for any effected and thier families, times like these remind us that life is so fragile at times and we must never take things for granted. God bless everyone.

Take as long as you guys need, as someone else said... Time away from FFXI makes me realize how much I love and enjoy my time spend on the game. I'll be here when you guys come back online.

IN the meantime though Parasite Eve 1 was JUST launched on playstation Network and it was one of my fave non-FF games launched by SE for playstation. I bought it and will be playing it in that time. I recommend anyone bored do the same, its a great game!

I hope the situation gets better in Japan. My visit 5 years ago was a very pleasant experience. The people are very friendly and the environment was enjoyable to be in. At the same time I am happy the US is providing support during these hard times as it building stronger bonds internationally as both countries strive to prevent the worst in happening and enable all citizens to live well.

As Azjazo mentioned about more details on the next update, I hope you consider while the game and servers are down to continue discussion on development as during this downtime we can get a lot accomplished in preparation for the next major version update. The first week with the forum launching I am still amazed at what has been discussed and addressed to the development team's attention. While the development team residing in Japan may not be able to directly address issues and suggestions provided by the playerbase due to the current situation in Japan at least community reps can still remain active and compile information provided so that when services are resumed we have something in place to put into action. Thank you for developing and supporting this wonderful game I have been playing for the last 7 years. I look forward to the day services are restored and the new updates along the way.

Good luck in the Chrysler building lol. And yeah, it was an awesome game. I like PE2 as well, just not as much. Have fun. ^^

Since FFXI is down, the fact I have more hours at work doesn't bug me as much. Since now I don't have a game that I immediately want to come home to and progress in all night.

However the fact that I'm getting more hours, doesn't mean much since that has just increased my overall spending habbits with all this extra free time... >_>

You can never win when you're a computer nerd who works in retail for low wages... >_< If it's not one thing it's another.
