Foundation Day

[Dreadnought]

i have to admit the way they posted this makes it really easy for the games community to possibly misconstrue its intentions.
this, however, is SEs fault.
i too can see why everyone would think it, with out a doubt, will be release between the 21st and 22nd, however i think its just plain unrealistic to think SE would be so nonchalant about such a large patch release hint.
yeah they totally made it seem like were getting the patch next week, but since i know SE better than that i think its much more fair to assume theres more to it than that, such as a "recruit players for when the patch does go live in 2 more weeks".

Q: Are these coins currently already in the item data?

If yes - then patch 1.19 will probably be after
If no - OMG!! 1.19!!! or.... it's something else... a mystery... just like how my rainbow subligar is a mystery.

Well they said that grand company seals will be added under the "Currency" tab, maybe you trade in your seals and they get converted to the new coins.

As for the event (Sorry if someone already posted this) I'm thinking it might be like how before ToAU was released for FFXI the mercenary company let out some employees to scout for potential recruits that ended up giving you a mini quest to help them out. Those quests resulted in you getting extra imperial currency when ToAU actually came out and you ended up joining that mercenary company.

The quest might not be the same but maybe doing the event will give you some bonus Company Seals once you actually join one.

I know the descriptions were posted earlier but I also included the engraving on the backs of the coins.

Anyway, did I missed something about the moon event ? Are the nuts just useless (not even talking about the earring) ? I was kinda hoping for a two parts event like we had with the eggs, but Foundation Day isn't it obviously ^^

I have always wondered about that subligar.

And indeed, unless this event can be found in the .dat file from the last patch or somewhere in the original games installation, then it means around September 22nd we'll be seeing either a 1.18b or whatever we'd be on with 1.18 now, or the long awaited 1.19.

I was thinking about it earlier though. Over the past week S.E have been posting changes that'll be featured in 1.19, and this info has been released every day or two. We haven't had one in the last couple of days, so it's possible they're now compiling them all into a patch and testing to make sure it'll deploy properly.

Plus when you think about it, you don't waste time making trailers for a patch when you're meant to be making the patch itself, wark wark

On one hand, September 22nd is astronomically speaking the first day of autumn/spring (hemisphere dependant) so this date would coincide nicely with the "by the end of summer" goal and would also fit nicely with the fact that as of 1.19 we will be able to join a company proper.

On the other hand, the fact that they are having such a simple event for two weeks also suggests that they are using this as filler time before a patch that is delayed a little longer than promised, just so we don't scream any louder than coming short of shattering glass.

It could go either way.

I can imagine this thread and quite a few others going nuts if in a few more days we go to login and it starts downloading a patch labelled 1.19. XD

Think at the same time, player moral will be boosted to quite an enormous degree

I hope we also get rewards based on join time.
