Information on 1.21 Next week?

[Gramul]

Oh good, the situation fixed itself.

[Serdapi]

It's March 8th, close though!

Shameless bump in here too!

I would like the glowing eye as well. That is my only complaint about the gear.

I'd be really happy if it glows when you're in combat mode/casting spells.

Yoshi-P thanks for the hard work staying up still 5:30 AM for these fucking slave drivers you call customers and they are still not happy. All i can say it's ready when it's ready.

Did they change the color of the BLM af, on the preview pic posted a few weeks ago it was black/purple now it looks like maroon. Also did they chagne the looks for the WHM AF gear? I dont see the typical red "triangles" on the robe

It's looking like the quest npc shown in the picture has a special re skin of the blm armor

魔法詠唱関連の仕様変更も、かなり吉田自身でこだわってギリギリまで調整し、新生クライアントと内部的に同一処理ではありませんが、挙動は殆ど同じにできるまで手を入れました。

I really wanted to have the specs changed for magic casting and we have been making adjustments up to the last minute, and while the system is not exactly uniform internally with the 2.0 client, we did our best to make the behavior just about the same.

What's this about?

This seems to be referring to the upcoming change to the casting system, in which movement will cancel spell casting. This change is scheduled to go into effect with patch 1.21. I assume that Yoshida is saying that the way in which spells cancel when moving in 1.21 feels almost (but not exactly) the same as it will after 2.0 hits.

Having said that, since he only referred to "magic casting", it's very possible that other elements of the system will change as well.

Can someone translate the text from the other pictures?

Seconding this! I'd like to know where the other pics were found o.o

This one in particular is awesome since it shows that each AF will have multiple styles. Wonder if it'll be like AF/Relic in XI or if it'll just be dyable... or maybe just each special npc has their own style and then the player gets the black/purple one... hmmmm...

Who exactly isn't happy right now? A small minority of people at this point? Stop being a negative nancy and Yoshida's baby sitter.

I just hope magic impact animations will have been revamped when the jobs are introduced.

It's sad to wait for another 2 weeks but we don't want bugs so yea. I hope we will see more pics or videos next week though in his letter and a set date. All of these AF looks so cool in high graphic.
