Any word yet as to what the final Escha zone will be?

SE needs to allow Accession > Haste already, so my 10+ minute Haste is also AoE.

That's summoner's thing, though. That's not likely to happen.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Version Update (10/16/2015)



A new, content-packed version update is set to land early this November!

Along with the concluding chapter to Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, the November version update will conclude the Seekers of Adoulin "Vegetable Vegetable Revolution" quest series.

That's not all! Fearsome notorious monsters await in Geas Fete, Wanted battles, and Domain Invasion, each guarding a horde of resplendent spoils. Rank 7 monster rearing will also be introduced along with a hefty expansion to job points and gifts -- a veritable cornucopia of improvements and additions!




It's in early nov so I wonder if this is THE last major update? It doesn't say last update tho. So maybe they will have another last update end of November?

I suspect the final escha zone will be Iroha's home, I forget what it was called, they already mentioned it in the quests, began with an 'R'.

It's pretty obvious that it's Reisenjima.

Look to the right picture. I see Cerberus. I'm thinking we are getting ToAU HNMs as RoE Wanted NMs. 119 Hauts, Owleyes, and Algols!

This is exactly why SE need to unnerf SAM.

All 2-handers need a buff. Hell, if S-E even went back to the old 1:1 STR/DEX: ATK/ACC ratio, that would be a great start towards fixing our accuracy issues.

Bst is fine the way it is. If anything needs changed it's blu's AOE damage. I can 1-shot 15 IT mobs with ease on blu, and my blu sucks. I would rather other jobs are just made stronger, but instead SE is paying attention to inferior players that can't stop crying on the official forums. Blu's know they've gotten lucky, between Subduction and Specrtal Floe... Magic Hammer really? If you can't be strong on Blu it's time to play another game.

I been defending bst n now defending blue. Only way to one shot mass mobs is with burst affinity and even then some mobs might still have a sliver amount of life left so ur gear must be pretty good to be able to one shot 15 IT mobs. It takes good players to play blue good. Not mediocre player so ur opinions is a little wrong.

Even if only 20% of blue mages can perform at that level, it's still a bit unbalanced. There's no reason why one job should be able to do well in so many roles. BLU needs either an across-the-board nerf or a heavier nerf to a single facet of the job. A nerf to CDC might be a good start, or a nerf to their cleaving spells.

BLU being able to one-shot fodder mobs isn't really a problem. And as nice as the Spectral Floe/Tenebral Crush line of spells is, they're limited on endgame content due to short cast ranges and they can only be used in magic bursts if Burst Affinity is up. Further, BLU has very few single target nukes, so on something like Pakecet, you're not going to be nuking if you don't want to get fustigated by his adds. They're certainly very good spells, but they're not perfect. BLU also needs to spend a lot of MP on defensive measures quite often.

I think the job is in a very good place right now, albeit a bit unpopular with non-BLUs (seems like everything is some combination SAM, PLD, GEO, SCH, COR, BRD, BLM and WHMs).

The bigger problem with the game at this point of time is that nearly half of the jobs in this game are either down to a single niche, or flat-out unneeded and unwanted for any serious endgame content.

Judging by the black magic from Cerberus, I'd guess then that they'll be Unity dudes styled after ZNMs? Wonder if we'll get Ixion and Sandworm too.

I wonder which version of Reisenjima we will visit, the already emptiness ruined Escha version, or the Vana'diel version with a view to prevent the emptiness before it can happen.

The picture seems to indicate we see the current version, which makes sense - if they're going to give us a whole new area without recycling assets, why not give us the pretty version.

Plus, you can't stop the future from the future, so going there in the present is really the only way it would make sense thematically.

Remember Reisenjima is only a small island in the far east, it's not all the continent is comprised of, namely the Sahjattra Empire and the Yagudo Shogunate.

All I hope is they end the story well, this is going to be FFXI's last hurrah, all the heroes and heroines from the various expansions teaming up to prevent one last evil.

At the moment we haven't even had the identity of the final boss revealed to us, I wonder if it will end up being some Cloud of Darkness/Necron thing and we'll beat who we think is the final boss and then someone new will appear as the mastermind behind the scenes.

It will be a dimensionally displaced Rufus Shinra that was blasted to Vana'diel instead of oblivion when the Weapon attack destroyed Shinra tower.

Or maybe not. Hey, if they could get away with doing that with Bardock to retcon him as the first Super Saiyan, then why not Rufus too?

Man I never saw these references to her parentage, guess I wasn't paying enough attention. For the record in Aloha Iroha, Tenzen already started fantasising about what kind of women Iroha and Prishe could be on just hearing their names.

He even commented on how Aphmau had a rare and noble grace. They're basically playing him off as a bit of a womaniser. Or perhaps a hopeless romantic would be more appropriate.

I think my favorite part of Aloha Iroha is how the only character not being portrayed as a caricature is Prishe, because there's no need to.

Ulmia gets off pretty lightly too but that's probably because her and Prishe make a perfect double act.

Why not both? That would be awesome. I think we'll get the Escha version only, though.

Still, an all-new area, and it's going to be a "final area", maybe like Ru'Aun Gardens or Al'taieu... I have high expectations for the design of this area based on that.

edit: there's a screenshot and it shows greenery. Maybe we WILL get both?

Going to Reisenjima is nice, but hopefully it has some type of town. It can be the size of Rabao or Norg. I just would like a town aswell, because im fearing it'll just be the final endgame zone and that's it

Welcome to my homeland master, what do you think?

The scenery is lovely.
It's quite empty.
I seem distracted by 2 objects right now. <
