Holy frijoles. November's version update was outstanding, and now we're getting ANOTHER outstanding update a month later?

Monstrosity's already getting birds; solo salvage/assault; movement speed increase (!); FFXIV and Dragon Quest tie-ins with cutscenes (!); warping between home points (!); battling with famous NPCs (!); wide scan for everyone (!). Six things that are majorly exciting to me, and 5 of those were completely unexpected and unannounced. And then all kinds of other goodies. If only FFXIV could get some good updates (the game's been out since August and not one significant update; FFXI's had like 3 since then). I barely touch it anymore with all the awesome stuff going on in XI.

Dragoy, "too little too late" suggests that there's too little, but it feels like all of our wildest FFXI dreams are coming true. I'm not even kidding; I think I'd be stupid not to expect Cait Sith and Atomos within the next 6 months at this rate (at this point, they may even whip those guys out in January).
