The next version update of FINAL FANTASY XI will be split into the following three parts.

- 1st Part (Oct. 29, 2009)
This will be a version update without maintenance.
* There will be no in-game changes with this version update.

- 2nd Part (Nov. 9, 2009)
This will be a version update with maintenance.

- 3rd Part (During the last part of November) This will be a version update with maintenance.

* We will provide more details on the maintenance and version updates at a later date.

Additionally, the third add-on scenario, available for purchase on Oct. 26, 2009, "A Shantotto Ascension: The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born" will be available for play after the Nov. 9 version update.

Additionally, due to congestion on or around the date of the version update, it may take some time for the contents of "A Shantotto Ascension" to show up in FINAL FANTASY XI after purchase. It is recommended that if you are considering a purchase of "A Shantotto Ascension," you do so before the version update.

No augment list yet it seems.
 
You beat me to posting by literally a minute. Also, even lacking stats, the legs look /awesome/ and I'm torn between sweet dragon pants for summoner to not!homam for my drg or pld.

Dammit, SE! Stop making all the cool-looking stuff one-or-the-others!

*obligatory complaining about hasso/seigan lasting two hours here*
 
PANTS! I KNEW IT! I CALLED THIS ONE!

Let's hope they put a haste option on those bad boys to make a homam/Haidate alternative. Doesn't have to be the full 5% on Haidate but I could see them offering 3% maybe. (Obviously the huge DEX on them would make Haidate better for TPing anyway, but these could be a ghetto version for people who don't feel like grinding sky/Limbus.) I have no idea what I'd make though x.x I made an ACP body and a MKD hat for my RNG but I have Skadi pants.... maybe I'll make me some snazzy RDM and BLM pants >.> MAB on the pants anyone?

Edit: OMG MUST GET MAGE PANTS THEY HAVE DRAGONS ON THEM

Wonder why it's being split.
 
Death of FFXI, developers all working on XIV not enough staff to make sure the update process goes through correctly in one day, etc.

Why so negative :(
 
Didn't at one point they say that they were adding a new area etc etc with the new updates to justify the price hike? Maybe it's because it's a lot of contect to add in one go? (At least I hope so)

That's what I'm hoping as well, but there's been no indication that this update is supersized.
 
Maybe the BST adjustment is so big they need multiple days to implement it! :wink:

Fuzzball say what? Price hike?! I'm so not telling my uncle, he wouldn't let me switch back. :(
 
Is it just me or do all 3 of those pants look kinda funny?

Of all of these updates, the only armor I really liked looks-wise was the body.
 
I like the dragon on the mage pants.. but it should have been on the MNK/THF/COR one.
 
I can't find it, but I'm sure I read at some point that SE had increased the cost of the add on scenarios from what they were originally going to be because there was going to be so much more content added with them including a new continent.
 
I don't get why they didn't make all three expansion gear atleast look like part of a set. If you wear all 3 at the same time you'll look so silly.
 
Myrhh, you have a point, you do look utterly silly wearing the duckbill and the coselet if you're Paladin/Samurai/Dragoon/Beastmaster/Warrior/Dark Knight
 
All I can say is at least they didn't make one a subligar.

That would've cruel and unusual punishment.

That was actually an April Fool's "news" post on the Wiki page from right before they launched the first add-on. I only remember this because I posted it here:
