Built in distance plugin (sort of), and you can actually see through the auras now.

The color cursors will be good for telling if mobs around a target will be hit with the current AoE spell/ja/WS.

Um, the 1-handed and ranged adjustments weren't already implemented? This is great news, so MNK is going to be even stronger, or am I missing something?

They dropped support for PS2 only in NA, it would cost too much to continue support for NA PS2.

The survey they had us take about 2 years ago was for this very reason.

I didn't thing they were adjusting Coin weapons, just making them capable of unlocking their WS.

I have noticed with the spell casting time and recast. It affects helix spells as well.

Makes it much easier to solo SC. No more 8 seconds for luminhelix.

Or fire 1 thunder 1 = fusion. This should make kurma easier

This... this is pretty game changing from what I can tell.

Let me think a min, so they are giving the one-handed weapons the same bonus that 2-h has had for a while. I cant imagine jobs like thf and bst after this.

Of course, ranged weapons have enjoyed a nice pdif, and this atk-acc boost will be pretty big!

For blm (didn't see whm in there), looks like the main utility is directed at weaker spells. Ok for jobs like drk, but you need a int+ build to really benifit. Leveling a DD mage will be 'funner'.

I doubt around 30-50 attack/accuracy (depending on your gear) will be game-breaking for one-handers or even make them competitive. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but one-handers are still pretty behind two-handers in the appropriate situations (Big buffs so DW loses value).

Also it seems that they decided the boost to attack only applies to mainhand, dunno how that'll affect WS damage- gonna guess you'll get the attack boost on all the "normal" hits of the WS and only the reduce attack for the one offhand hit, but who knows.

Kinda disappointed they didn't decide to change the MP costs of spells other than Stone a bit. INT+100 isn't really a rare situation, so you're going to end up with Stone V costing half the amount of Thunder V for like 100 less damage. All it's going to do is make people shift from spamming Ice/Thunder to spamming Stone spells.

I think it's just for the target mob (It says PC VS target and not target VS other targets)- I think it's just to tell you if pressing confirm will bring up the "too far" error for the spell you're using.

If they made the game show up multiple arrows for AoE spells I'll be very impressed though.

Mocchi: Elemental Magic Adjustment Follow-ups

[[Someone reports incorrect table values for tier V nukes on INT+100]]

Thank you for pointing that out, we're sorry for the discrepancy. The item you pointed out was adjusted prior to updating the test server, but the adjustment was not reflected in the original table. It has been corrected now.

[[Stone V: 1200
Water V: 1210
Aero V: 1220
Fire V: 1230
Blizzard V: 1240
Thunder V: 1250

(Used to be 1200/1220/1240/1260/1280/1300)]]

[[Someone asking about earth nukes' now vastly superior MP efficiency compared to thunder]]

Thanks for your feedback. Matsui has previously posted the following comment, so this is roughly intended to move in that direction.

[[Repost of comment about relative MP efficiency and INT scaling of various types and tiers of nukes.]]

As you level up, we would expect the utilization of tier I magic to fall to some extent. We assume the basic fighting strategy will be something like mainly casting tier II~III nukes and occasionally casting tier IV, or mainly casting tier III~IV nukes and occasionally casting tier II, etc.

Of course, since the tables posted do not take into account magic attack power, it will be dependent on the situation as the impact of magic attack power, the casting player's stats, and the target will need to be taken into account.
