Event-related
Mog Gardens have undergone the following additions and adjustments.

  • New types of creatures may be reared.




  • The new seasonal event “OOPS! All Seasonal Events!” will be held

  • Raminel in Southern San d’Oria has been fired from his delivery job. Adventurers may now take up the new job, courier, to fulfill his former duties.

  • Crawlers in the Sarutabaruta region have tragically gone extinct after over two decades (Earth time) of aggressive poaching by adventurers.

  • Kam'lanaut has stepped down from his role as Archduke of Jeuno. Moving forward, Eald'narche will be filling his (significantly larger) shoes in storyline missions.



Battle-related
  • A new job, courier, is now available.
    Courier is a job in which you deliver people’s hopes, dreams, and other equally combustible mail items throughout Vana’diel

  • Behemoth’s Dominion has been renamed “Behemoths’ Dominion.” In accordance with this change, multiple Behemoths have been added to the area.

  • Level 5 skillchains have been added.
    Performing these high-level skillchains will require a specific combination of skillchains followed by typing “nice skillchain bro” in /say.

  • Damage values up to 999,999,999 will now be displayed. In accordance with this change, monsters’ HP values have been greatly increased.

  • Nyzul Isle Investigation has been expanded from 100 floors to 10,000 floors.

  • A new alter ego, Fujito-PD, has been added.

  • Adoulinian tomatoes can now be used as throwing weapons.
    This feature was implemented under the assumption that everyone will be on their best behavior. Please refrain from pelting other players and NPCs.




Item-related
A new mount has been added.



System-related

The option “Turn Everything Off” has been added to Graphics settings.



Resolved Issues
* The issue wherein the visual appearance of the shield Aegis was found to be lacking. It has been improved as follows.



Known Issues

  • Zeid’s ability to move appears to be severely hindered in certain key cutscenes.

  • Raminel has been driven to madness by unemployment and is running amok in Southern San d’Oria.

  • Certain Home Point crystals have been shattered into a thousand pieces...

I want to start on floor 9996.
I know it'll probably cost me like 100k points to start there but don't care. You'd get like 20k points per floor.

I could get enough points in a day to be capable of making every mythic.
actually, we could probably do that just by climbing all the way up to floor 10k

They blew the rest of the year's FFXI budget on the post.
they may have gone over budget too, so the may conclusion to tVR has been cancelled until next april.

Floor 10,000 boss gives a Platinum astrarium that allows us to upgrade one piece of Nyame to Nyame +1 by combining it with that same piece from Thaumas, Phorcys and Nares.

This is the most effort they have put into an update in years and if it's what the future looks like under Fujito, then the future is bright.

These two would be great and should be implemented.

So, has anyone seen any sign of any of this in-game besides the shattered homepoints and racin' Raminel? I've taken a poke around to see how committed to the bit they were, and it's been a little disappointing.

I don't know if there's some kind of hard cap on how many jobs are available to add, but if there isn't, it would have been amazing to actually add Courier, with the caveat that it could only gain experience from courier quests (whoops, guess we forgot to implement any of those?)

Nobody made crawlers invisible, which was a disappointment. (Ooh, or just reskinned them into ghosts, or transparent white crawler models!) No sudden migration of behemoths. It would have been a bit of a twist of the knife to rename and reskin Matsui-P for the day but I would have accepted it for the gag.

Overall, points for creativity I guess, it's nice to see Fujito is bringing a sense of humor to his regime, but man they could have made this so much cooler with just a few more asset swaps and some flag abuse.

999,999,999 damage cap is just a vicious tease though
