[Windows Only]

The option “Run in Windowed Mode” has been added to the “General” tab of the FINAL FANTASY XI Config Tool. Checking this box and saving the new settings will run the game in windowed mode the next time you start FINAL FANTASY XI.

*When checking this box, the message “You may experience lower frame rates or other problems depending on your computer's specifications. Uncheck the box and use full screen mode to improve performance.” will be displayed. To switch to windowed mode, you will be required to select “Yes” from the subsequent options provided.
**Using the default settings while in windowed mode may cause problems with the game screen.
The following settings are suggested if any problems are encountered in windowed mode.
These settings are a general example, and the optimal values may differ depending on the graphic card, etc. being employed.

Warnings for Windowed Mode

After changing the settings, the size of the window will be displayed under “Overlay Graphics Resolution” on the “Screen Size” tab. While in windowed mode, it is possible to alter the window size by clicking and dragging on the edge of the window with the mouse. Press and hold the Shift key to maintain the same vertical and horizontal proportions. Right-click on the title bar and select “Default Size” to return the window to the default window size setting.

Even in the case where the maximum value for the “Overlay Graphics Resolution” is set to the same value as the full screen display, the window will be slightly smaller than the full screen.

It is not possible to take screenshots in windowed mode by pressing the Alt key and the Print Screen key.

The brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. of windowed mode will differ slightly from full screen mode.

You may lose your connection and be returned to PlayOnline when performing the following actions while FINAL FANTASY XI is running:
Activating certain screen savers
Starting other applications

Hell yes!

Dataminers gogogo! =D
 
No longer have to talk to an npc to get into your rent-a-room? FUCK YES.
 
One question, doesn't the expansion come out on Wednesday? If so, the update announcement saying that scholar and dancer are now available is a little misleading. If not, then Gamestop gave me the wrong date.

Prolly means it's in the system. It's just not active yet.

Third time's a charm?
 
Ok, so they're just doing what they did with ToAU again. Makes sense, since a fucking hurricane delayed CoP for 4/5 of america.

Gobbiebag quests Part VII and Part VIII have been added.
These quests will become available after fulfilling certain conditions, and allow players to carry even more items in their all-new gobbiebags!
Players must complete all previous gobbiebag quests before the new gobbiebag quests will become available.

Fuck you! I'm still on IV?
 
Accomplice is at lv 65. Not even SE could be stupid enough to give a job a tanking JA with low recast that late in the game when the tanks are needed throughout all levels.
I'm betting it has some shitty 3-5 minute recast or higher if they really wanna make it worthless.

It helps that it's not a tanking JA...

They'll have to put some effort into making this "worthless" to be honest. Even 3-5m could be good depending on hate removed.

Take a bunch of hate to combine with your own hate from damage and make the person highest on the haste list lose half thier emnity to assist in making you a higher priority on the hate list. That sounds like a tanking JA to me if the recast gets low enough. The first thought of most people upon it being announced was that thf was now a tank if it was implemented properly. Enabling a person to do something that's normally thought of as stupid enough to get you killed and then turing that into an advantage has many tactical possibilities.

When the monsters you are tanking last 30-60 seconds a long recast time is worthless for exp tanking if it's the only true tool in your arsenal.
