Excited for the December Update!!!

Hello, everyone!

Glad to hear you are all excited for the December version update!

I just wanted to drop in a let you know one thing about the movement speed increase. We will be increasing the movement speed for both adventurers and monsters by 25%. The movement speed bonuses granted by equipment, Super Kupopower, and other avenues will also be boosted based on this new movement speed.

I wanna go fast!

What about chocobos, escort quest NPCs, and Campaign NPCs? Also, this has created some concern because we now have 25% less space to kite monsters with jobs like SMN, and our magic cast times aren't reduced.

You know, this is the second post I've found where a key point didn't make it out of the original Japanese post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...l=1#post481468

I admit, I'm not the best at reading Japanese (despite four years in college...) But Matsui's post seems to say that the upper movement speed is remaining capped to avoid clipping.

So while no clue how that will affect Escort NPCs, that does seem to indicate that Chocobos and Flee speed will NOT be getting any kind of boost, just instead of being 200% they will be uh... (does math bah) 160% speed? Sorry, four years of engineering classes killed my ability to do basic math.
