Patch 1.17a has been announced but...

They should add marriage to patch 1.17a. LOL kind of a joke, but down the rode marriage would be nice. Tomorrow we'll all update and find out it was to correct a spelling error in a guildleve yay.

There's some new info on the Japanese boards. From what I gathered using Google translator it looks like they're resizing the HP/MP-bars again. Thrilling, I know lol.

C'mon kids... Keep your hopes high.

Patch 1.17 = 100%
Patch 1.17a = another 100%

Due to circumstances, 30% of 1.17 had to be held off. So...

Patch 1.17 = 70%
Patch 1.17a = 130%

Yay!

....Probably not.

I bet it's only bug fig and some minor adjustment like resizing hp bar lol

I think the most we can expect, in regards to content, is 2-3 more NMs (maybe high level ones) and more sidequests. its possible the additional sidequests will be company related.

I wouldn't expect anything too grand, but the update wont be worthless either.

I pretty much expected 1.17a to be system changes and bugfixes. This is how their patches have always been.
1st patch = content
followup patch = tweaks

*Sigh* Seriously I didn't notice the resizing to begin with and now they're changing it by a couple of pixels. Why do they even bother with this crap.

Well thats how it was going to be originally, but in one of the letters its mentioned that some of the content from 1.17 was pushed into 1.17a

I know right? Why bother fixing the game.

Ironically most of this stuff is generally done prior to release, now that the game got rushed out we have to deal with it and it's all for the bigger picture.
