Now I wish I hadn't thrown away my Nexus Cape.

I hope they reconsider their stance of Cornelia being temporary; she is absolutely incredible, and I don't want her to go when the 6 months are up.

The temporary bit boggles my mind. There really is no reason to take her away.
They asked what we all wanted. They made the best they could come up with regarding our request, so it isn't like they could improve upon it.
They are showing a very real lack of resources to make anything new. I'm not even critiqueing the quality of what they are producing, nor the speed. Which I could. But since implementing new stuff is so difficult for them, it would be foolish to take anything away that is working well or has had a positive reception.

They would be far better off removing the least popular trust. If I had to make a guess as to who that would be... Lhe Lhangavo, probably.

Announcing the December Version Update
Hail, adventurers!
Matsui here with the inside scoop on the December version update.

December is the time not only for the last version update of 2017, but also for reflecting on our work in the past year. We implemented new battle content in the form of Dynamis-Divergence, expanded Omen, and introduced the Escutcheon questline, providing a wide variety of content for all manner of players.

We also worked hard to engage with the community and hold a diverse array of campaigns. Further additions include an alter ego of Cornelia in response to player feedback, 15th Vana’versary Records of Eminence objectives to celebrate the history of FINAL FANTASY XI, and one-day-only content in the form of “Let’s Go! Vana’diel Day!” But the 15th Vana’versary Celebration is far from over, and we’ve got even more in store for you!

I could gush on about our future plans, but let’s shift our focus back to December.

First up is Dynamis-Divergence. We’re adding a new area, as those of you who followed Freshly-Picked Vana’diel 36 are already aware of. Hold onto your hats, because we’ll be heading to...Bastok! But don’t worry, we’ve chased out all the scorpions and hecteyes that may have given you trouble in the past.

Of course, what would a new Dynamis area be without additional relic reforging? You’ve tiptoed your way into San d’Oria, and now it’s time to put your hands together for Bastok! That’s right, relic gloves are the name of the game in December, and you’ll be able to reforge them to +2 and +3 versions.

Also on the plate is the monthly update to Ambuscade. As this is the last month of the Year of the Rooster, we’ve prepared a battle with some fowl fiends—the harpeia! It’s the last chance to enjoy Ambuscade in 2017 before we become “hounded” by 2018.

The temporary bit boggles my mind. There really is no reason to take her away.

I don't like Ygnas because his TP moves overwrite Haste II with Haste I.

Announcing the Next Version Update (12/27/2017)

The next version update is scheduled for early January.

January brings with it the usual updates to Ambuscade foes and rewards along with a slight revamp to the currency exchange UI.

We are also planning an adjustment to the amount of materials Oboro needs to create weapons.

Looks like nothing special next coming update aside slight Oboro adjustment.

I have a feeling this update will be the same weight as the June 2017 update...

I’m wondering if the adjustment is lowering the cost of AG weapons

I was thinking they are increasing it cause they hate us.

I hardly doubt they'll adjust the 10,000 requirement. Imagine the outrage to those already on the quest. "We're unable to adjust existing requirements prior to update"

Surprisingly enough, SE is usually very careful with their language. They said "create" as opposed to "enhance" which leads me to believe they will adjust the JSE weapons.

I was thinking they are increasing it cause they hate us.
