Patch 1.17 Outline (04/12/2011)

[Benji]

I will dissagree about Companies being in this patch. If they were they would of stated it. That would get some more buzz and maybe get some people to log in. The stuff they left out of the patch notes are just the details on how the new stuff will be working. Like the how long between each behest, new NM info, new 8 party buffs and the Easter event. Maybe some other minor tweaks .

They said they were going to release the info on companies right before patch 1.17 goes live. Read the dev tags in the lodestone post. The proof is right there.

I think in this particular post they downplayed the fact that companies are included. Why hype a feature that you've released no information on thus far apart from a name change? We're probably going to get all the information on companies tomorrow or Thursday, considering something involving them WILL be playable after 1.17.

Waiiiiiiiiiiit. Where the Company informations??? O_O

So we should be getting a letter from the producer regarding the new Company system before patch 1.17 goes live. Yoshi stated that he will give us info on it before 1.17 patch. So thats something else to look forward to before the patch 1.17 in a couple of days.

I doubt its in a letter, but he did say the lodestone would be updated with the company info right before 1.17. Lodestone is getting a maint. right before 1.17 goes live too.

Coincidence?

I don't think it's going to be a letter. I believe he said his next letter is on the battle system. These will probably be nicely designed web pages to explain what/how companies work.

The Lodestone maintenance probably has to do with adding all the new "achievements" related to the new quests etc.
