Hmm so for light armors jobs, I kinda see acc+10 haste+ 4%, or something like that, be an ultimate body piece if we can do that combo lol. Not buying this before I see the rewards.

 

[Tagrineth]

So wait, these are like mini-expansion packs?

Yup been known about for 4~5 months now :chocobo:

 

[Wakmidget1]

I love doing missions, so I'll be all over this!


....brb, heading to Gamestop to reserve a copy!

 

[Dejavu]

I dont think you can go to gamestop and reserve it ... i think its gonna be download only like a patch

 

[Dayner]

i wont going to get my hope up with new customs armor thing , but its promising

 

[Spalko]

try not to expect too much as it gonna hurt more the more you hope when you got disappointed.

i wonder how customs gonna work, like we decide what to put or computer decide, and will it is reversible once done.

Well it says right there you get to pick 2 out of 20 or so stat options.

Doesn't say anything about reversible or not though.

 

[Excim]

You can add elemental defenses and "dispense /item" additions only.

I can finally make my earth element defenses top notch, and have unlimited Popstars!


...hey, they'd do that, y'know.

 

[Dancingweapon]

Seems interesting, wonder what the other two will include. Hopefully some cool rewards from the missions/quests they will add?

Edit: Says will be payable from the play online viewer via the same details as your account info.

Yep. Log in on the 22nd and buy it in POL.

*The add-on scenario will be avalible for purchase by FINAL FANTASY XI users through the PlayOnline viewer. Payment will be processed through the method designated in your PlayOnline account (in the same manner as "Optional Services").

I'm not buying it until i get the opinion of someone else on whether or not the expansion is actually worth 10 buck and isnt just SE selling us content we'd have gotten for free normally.(cause less updates per year is awesome)

...it's cheaper than a medium pizza at most pizza chains. Just buy it and find out for yourself. It isn't going to put you out or anything.

This is what I was thinking. Even if it sucks...meh, I pay more monthly for this game -_- But new missions and stuff sound like fun either way

This. It's not going to be a total flop, even if it doesn't meet certain expectations, it will deliver to some extent. Would certainly be worth $10 I'd say.

I'm just glad to see they are still working on content. :clap:

 

[Khajit]

But by that same logic I could be eating a pizza instead if it turns out to be nothing more than a glorified series of quests and not a "real" expansion in terms of content.

 

[Samukami]

I just realised that kid standing there is ANDO, young from the intro, i'm most likley not the only one who has spotted this lol. :shok:

 

[Khajit]

The kid in the intro is ALDO. As in the badass in tenshodo. Your sound card or the voice actors must have sucked for you.

 

[Tyrath]

Its -NOT- a real expansion. Its a mini content thingy. If you're already going in expecting expansion level content, you're going to be disappoint. It most likely is just going to be a serious of missions and a few other things. Personally I'd take those over the pizza though, pizza wouldn't last me anywhere near as long. And I eat too much pizza as it is.
