Great Patch!

Eekiki is right, the patch has made party leveling much more attractive than before, especially with the changes to enemy abundance and respawn times. Fun times ahead for spiritbonding!

The XP chains are not just for group play either...they work very well in solo play as well.

From what I've seen so far as ARC44 trying to solo leves, doing them vs anything higher rank than you is.. not so great.. it's hard to explain. Enemies don't hurt you too much, but you do far far less damage to them than before, so while they take longer to kill, they generally end up doing more damage. I'm sure it's a combination of changes to enemy level as well as the overall gimp to ARC damage and TP from multishot.

Killing those Amaljaa like Eekiki said in a group with my linkshell was far, far better than I can see solo being, but maybe you just need to find the right spot with the right level mobs.

Pros
Cheaper Repair
Chocobo
Airship
Exp Chains ?

Cons
Downtime
Slow Healing
No survivability
SLOW LEVELING

So basically if we aren't partying leveling will now take 2-3x as long? you do about 1/4th the damage you used to do, have half the health, can barely take on a monster that is 2-3 ranks above you, and the exp isn't increased for monsters your own level. But let's not forget the exp chain! Which you can't use since fighting just one guy your level will leave you with half health or less. This patch is garbage, who (prolly nobody) tested this patch before they released it? was this to force you to be in parties?

Wtfh are you talking about?! Several recent forum threads COMPLAIN exp is too fast! Youre crying its too slow?

None of your Cons are Cons and a majority of them are biased and incorrect.

This patch is epic: you should rename your thread "i kinda like this patch but im emo so imma Q_Q about parts of it which are working fine"

This Patch is SOLID GOLD. Best work to date SE way to go. If this is the kind of patches we are to expect in the future this game will surpass XI and be awesome.

Only thing I found I don't like is the choco music cuts out when your camera is not chasing the chocobo. I love that music and want to hear it full blast all the time while I admire my choco ride from all angles.

Myself and linkshell members were chain 8'ing things last night and got 100k+ exp in about an hour and a half.

Airships - love it
Chocobo - love it
population surge - love it (hope it stays)
New area's - love them all
new monsters - boo ya!
Crafting modifications - Love it

For once not worrying about running out of Anima - Awesome

Casual players bitching about inequality and game unfriendliness, - Priceless.

I could go on but there is just to much greatness packed into this patch!

Great work Dev Team keep up the great work

I really like how the chocobo music gets louder when you're moving. It's just like my car stereo.
