Quais as vantagens da Abyssea Edition? Nesse pacote vem todos as expansões e add-ons (inclusive as 3 Abyssea), além do item ingame Destrier Beret. E quem já tem conta no FFXI pode usar o código de ativação para liberar todas as expansões e addons que ainda não possui (cada add-on custa US$ 9,99 e essa edição custa US$ 19,99). Ótimo pra quem tá querendo jogar ou quer reativar uma conta antiga.

Sò uns avisos: eu testei essa falha da Amazon com um cartão Mastercard. Outras bandeiras pode ser que não dê. E foi no site americano, não tenho a menor idéia se rola na vertente européia ou japonesa da Amazon. E, claro, a cd-key recebida só funciona em contas americanas.

To provide a fitting challenge to players who achieve these newfound heights of power, we will be adjusting monster level and placement in certain Treasures of Aht Urhgan areas to create daunting new battlegrounds.

A host of new abilities, job traits, and spells will also be added for the newly-unlocked levels. Needless to say, these will be designed to provide players with exciting new possibilities while preserving game balance as they achieve even higher levels in the future.

- White Mage: An ability offering increased resistance against status ailments.
- Red Mage: An ability that enhances the potency of enfeebling magic.
- Bard: An ability that prevents songs cast on oneself from being overwritten.
- Beastmaster: A new pet command.
- Dragoon: A new jump.
- Summoner: New blood pacts.
- Corsair: New phantom rolls
- Dancer: A new step.

New Job Traits

- Monk: Skillchain Bonus
- White Mage: Shield Def. Bonus
- Red Mage: Mag. Burst Bonus
- Thief: Dual Wield
- Dark Knight: Crit. Atk. Bonus
- Bard: Fencer
- Ninja: Skillchain Bonus

These new abilities will be covered in further detail in future articles, so keep watching this space!

Pera, pera. De 80 pra 85 só??? Como assim? Quando vai chegar no 99 então???

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/verup/ff11us/detail/5571/detail.html

Reparei em duas coisas:

1) SCH ganhou Libra! Mas o scan é pra enmity, nada de dados precisos sobre level, HP e weak points.
2) As áreas de Abyssea são variações das áreas normais. Lá em baixo na lista do update em Known Issues fala-se em “The quest log for the Abyssea – Tahrongi quest”. Abyssea-Tahrongi! Pffft, mais um mundo paralelo a Vana’diel que reutiliza as mesmas áreas normais. Já não bastava Dynamis e as áreas do passado…

Update às 20h30: O jogo AINDA tá em manutenção. A coisa deve ter ficado bem groosa pra SE ainda manter bloqueado o FF11…

E já tá no FFXIClopedia o walkthru da LB6!

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/New_Worlds_Await

LOL, ridícula!!!!! Tem que ter 3 Merit Points guardados. Pega 5 Kindred Seals e dá pro Nomad Moogle em Ru’lude Gardens!!!! Porra, aí nem tem graça!!!!!!!!

Update em 22/06: Olha o que rola em Abyssea:

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/verup/ff11us/detail/5578/detail.html

Como Dynamis, não são áreas de acesso livre, mas não exige uma ally gigantesca nem custa caro pra se entrar. E olha as decepções:

1) São só TRÊS áreas nesse primeiro add-on!

2) Tem time limit.

3) Dedication e Corsair’s Roll não funcionam em Abyssea. Não tem bonus de XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!

Q: What inspired the decision to increase the level cap?
A: With the cap set at level 75 for quite some time now, a wide variety of monsters, equipment, and game content has been introduced over the years for players who had reached this limit. With such content having been fleshed out to the development team’s satisfaction, it was deemed that the time was right to usher in the sort of new challenges that could only come with the ability to achieve higher levels.

Q: What changes can we expect to see after the cap is lifted?
A: Beginning with the upcoming version update, the level cap will be gradually increased to an eventual maximum of 99, with new job abilities, magic spells, weapon skills, and equipment to be made available at these higher levels. These additions, as well as refinements to existing abilities and spells, will focus on preserving and strengthening the unique roles that each main job serves, while increasing the tactical options available to each support job. Needless to say, new game content will also be introduced that will demand every onz of adventurers’ newfound might.

Q: What specific changes will be implemented in the coming version update?
A: The level cap will be raised to 80, and new abilities, magic, weapon skills and equipment for players up to this level will be added. Level restrictions placed on certain areas will also be removed, creating additional high-level battlegrounds for players to explore. The level cap increase will also result in a number of existing skills becoming newly available to support jobs, with a few exceptions and adjustments to preserve balance and ensure that main jobs do not see their thunder stolen.

Unusable by Support Jobs
- The white magic job abilities “Afflatus: Misery” and “Afflatus: Solace”, and the ninja job abilities Yonin and Innin will not be available to support jobs.
Usable by Support Jobs, with Altered Effects
- The ranger job ability Shadowbind will be subject to an accuracy check, with a miss generating no effect.
- The scholar job abilities Accession and Manifestation will triple (rather than double) recast time for the spells used.
