ToAU information

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

From a Squneix anouncement, paraphrased:

While the expansion will be released on the 18th, service will not start till the 20th.

You will need all your PoL ID numbers and pasword.


From a Japanese site translated:

New Aht Urhgan info from Famitsu

Warning: spelling of FFXI-specific stuff is probably wrong, as I am transcribing it from katakana for now

BLU:
- casting magic uses MP, each magic also has level restrictions
- special ability "Argel Law", increases effectiveness of blue magic for set time
- ability "Blue Chain" allows you to use physical-type blue magic in skillchains
- ability "Blue Burst" allows you to use magic-type blue magic in magic bursts
- status of char changes depending on the blue magic chosen
- lv75 sword skill: 269 blue magic skill: 276, (could be affected by magic equipped though)

COR:
- Phantom Roll: strengthens party members, can also "Double Up"
- Phantom roll affects jobs in the following way:
WAR -> dmg accuracy up, WHM -> healing MP up, BLM -> mag.atk. up, RDM -> mag.acc, up, PLD -> counter damage, RNG -> acc. (both) up, SMN -> refresh, COR -> exp. up, other jobs unknown for now
- Quick Draw: weakening magic on enemy
- Wild Card: allow party members to reuse their abilities

PUP:
- Maton (the doll) can be called like wyvern, using "Stringer"
- You can control your maton with items
- Maton will disappear when HP runs out but you can resummon or repair it
- You can change maton equipment - there are 12 types of "attachment", for head and frame parts
- graphics change according to equipment
- according to equipment, the maton changes skills in "white soldier", "firing soldier", "magic soldier" areas

New areas:
Gadarba floating lake: looks like Zi'tah

New NPC:
Beastman Mercenary "Gesshow" - Yagudo.

New equipment:
Beruan - self-defence equipment
Igito - mage equipment
NPC equipment revealed in besiege mode can also be equipped

New weapons:
Janviar - gold dagger
Amuhd - 2H axe with three gold points
Mezarak - 2H pole with 4 way spikes
Algor - legendary great sword

Other bits:
- field and dungeon music will be new
- region menu will change a lot. Aht Urhgan region map revealed... separate map to rest of VD.
- "unconfirmed items" will be from Assault only?
- Assault is for 3-6 people
- Besiege NPCs cannot be cured, they can also be captured and kidnapped
- There are mogs in Nashmo town

Mean Mr. Bush needs to send this kitty home.
Stationed there until 2007.. how long have you been there already?

Godspeed and come home safe kitty!

[Keavy]

Well, the manager at EB Games said that it would arrive on either the 18th or 19th but believe me, 12:01 A.M. on April 20th I will be installing ToAU.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all: my dad got my PS2 working. I don't know how, but he did. Sadly I need to reformat the HDD and reinstall everything so this weekend I will do that.

{Huh?!}
I just ordered a copy at my local PC store who could almost guarantee me that ToAU would be in his store on April 20'th.

You migt want to check a few other stores then.
If I get it on the release date in Holland (a Country known for horribly late release times)
You should be able to as well.

Laff! So Blue Mage has an A+ or A- in Sword Skill, we're assuming it'll get all the WSs then since it is a DD class. With Blue Chain a Blue Mage could easily self-SC ^^

I'm hoping Corsair get A skill in Dagger and Puppetmaster an A skill in H2H too. Wondering what "exp up" means... boosted exp for the Corsair? SE wouldn't do that, meaning must be lost in translation.

Goblin Prevaricator. Cheny is The Shadow Lord.

"I invented the great sword" - Al Gore

Actually he claimed to have passed legeslation that led to the creation of the greatsword as we know it. The "liberal" media gets everything wrong.

[Pheonixhawk]

Its gonna be FOREVER before the expansion actually hits here in Okinawa. So while everyone gets to try out the new jobs and visit the new areas, Ill be stuck with all the old stuff
