1.16a is 103mb???

Doesn't 103mb seem a little large to be just what was outlined in the notes? Wondering if there is something else in the patch for the back end that we won't see.

There will be most likely ninja changes but sometimes its just because rather than changing a files contents, it will be replacing it. For example the initial 5mb you get with every patch is the interface. As you can see some fixed bugs, which file or fileS these are in may have been completely replaced (rather than just edited), this is usually the case if they're encrypted at SE's end and they dont want the patcher decrypting/encrypting again so they will just force the full file onto you.

Wasn't this also a prep for a future patch?

if the patch is 103mb that doesnt mean 103mbs of changes in itself
one of the files thats been altered could have been a big one, thus needing to redownload the whole file

^ Also this, i forgot, there will be adjustments elsewhere made in preparation to the next patch. Which happens for a number of reasons intentional or not.

why don't you just open the file in hex editor and see what it is?

I was just checking out the size myself.. I think they are getting in the framework for some of the future changes. Architectural code changes always get implemented before anything gets built on top of them.

Exactly. They have a habit of not noting all changes made in the patch notes. even tho usually the ninja changes are pretty minor.

I see what you've done, those are existing mobs btw lol 002 is puk, 003 is raptor and 004 is deers

On release there were 79 mobs and now there are 81, the new ones are: Gargoyles (not implemented) and Goblins (implemented) (Also not not all 79 are atk mobs, eg: Gridania opening Cs, Ifrit, etc)

maybe it's another size adjustment....

minor patch in shape of large file size

I dont have record on m054 and m022 is goblin variations if I remember correctly. m054 has been here since Alpha tho I have that written down but it was broke back then, so something might have changed on it now? But it has been there since December (i think, or whenever gob was added)

You also mention 909 which is strange because 909 is the repear/deamon in the story (sorry for spoilerz).

Just noticed in all them it was the "action" being edited, so something they do was changed, tho the repear just slides in the screen thats it lol.

Seems like you can now stop macro's midway, I think that is new and not mentioned in the notes.

Yeah that was last patch. Sure makes farming megolcrab shells (when you are not much higher rank than the crab) easier. Just run through crab and as soon as you exit his butt.. BAM Trunksplitter II, rinse and repeat.

And this IS preperation for the next patch. Remember its two patches a month, smaller patch early in the money to deal with some bugs, issues and maybe a change or two. Then a few weeks later a larger patch with some content.

Only the Tsuma/Quake/Nuclear Disaster set them back by two weeks.

So, amongst one of the Ninja changes they made was a bug fix. You can once again click on a party members name or your own name to start casting a helpful spell.

Wasn't mentioned In the patch notes.

HURRAY for ninja changes! nin nin!
