But what's in it?

But what's in it?

Probably nothing. In his last letter didn't he say if 1.17b was being added it'd be just to help make 1.18 smaller?

To coincide with the addition of dungeons, a number of actions and skills will receive tweaks ahead of time, the details of which will be released at a later date.

From the battle reform blueprint, perhaps it's skill tweaks on the way

That could be it, but I'm not gonna think about it too much, we'll know what's in it in four days.

But what's in it?

something like: a leve issue where text wasnt shown properly after fullmoon....
i had high hopes for every update. i rather keep my hopes down and hope for a surprise....

Who knows! But it was only a possibility that'd we'd even see a 1.17b, just nice to know they're really trying to push things out asap.

Just don't go expecting a job system!

"As a response to the player feedback of foliage flickering the bushes around Limsa Lominsa will be scaled up."

OMG YAAY! The best patch evah!! I don't really care what they put in it as personally I'll get back into the game after the battle system is fixed.

[Picoman]

Going by the latest letter from the producer, 1.17b will be a broken off piece of 1.18 content released ahead of time, so yes, we're getting something.
