We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[Date & Time]

* The completion time may be subject to change.

[Affected Service]
- FINAL FANTASY XIV

[Update Details]
Below are Updates related to the end of the Seventh Umbral Era:

- The prayers of the adventurers have been heard by the twelve deities.
* Adventurers will now have a chance to receive a gift from the twelve deities upon resting at the inn.
* Adventurers will now receive a boon from the twelve deities when they pray for the safety of themselves or a fellow adventurer. Please be advised that the adventurers will experience the wrath of the twelve if they pray for the safety of an enemy.
- The strength of certain monsters that have unleashed their true potential has been toned down.
- As relief for adventurers facing enormous odds stacked against them, all items can now be repaired for 1 gil by the repair NPC.
- To assist the adventurers that are fatigued from the recent battles, adventurers will now be able to ride their mounts within the cities.
* Chocobos and goobbues can only be mounted when they feel excited in certain situations.
* The mounts will not let the adventurers go back and forth between the city and outside the city.

Honestly, "Chocobos and goobbues can only be mounted when they feel excited in certain situations." was the most hilarious part for me. [eyebrow waggle]

How else are we going to get chocobo breeding going in 2.0?

[Emulord]

Interesting part about the chocobos!

"Adventurers will now have a chance to receive a gift from the twelve deities upon resting at the inn"

Gift that remains in 2.0 somehow?;

/pray is real.
If it wasn't, it is now!

Please be advised that the adventurers will experience the wrath of the twelve if they pray for the safety of an enemy.

...orly.

I am both excited about this patch and 'not sure if response to unexpected sudden upsurge in players praying to everything'.

Please be advised that the adventurers will experience the wrath of the twelve if they pray for the safety of an enemy.

Finally they fixed this. Wasn't it weird that you had to pray to a mob.... (???) to kill it?
Hmm but then again.... /pray doesn't specify anything.... you could have prayed for it to DIE DIE DIE (and in some cases that happened).

Finally.
Great Buffalo..... YOU DIE!
(we didn't manage to kill him off the other time outside Ul'dah)

No saving since last week. Also the chocobo in cities has always been possible, it was just a glitch to enable it though lol.
