Note on FC Housing Locations : There are conflicting sources on weather this will be Limsa Lominsa's housing area only, or all three housing areas.

Np. No nerfs to existing content this patch- they already nerfed/fixed some of the later stages of coil to make it more feasible in an earlier hotfix.

I'd expect early December.

Actually, a late December release is brilliant. Both the US and Japan start having major time off school/work in late December. I know I'm off work starting December 24th and I don't have to be back until January 2nd.

I bet I'll have at least one 16 hour play day unless we end up going to Florida or something.

Damn it. I'm sooooooo excited for Crystal Tower. I absolutely loved FF3 and the CT theme was my ringtone for years. I don't know if I can wait that long!

Oh well, I guess I'll help my friends get their relics in the meanwhile. :)

I'd like to see the Titan Extreme mode platform become smaller and smaller each time he uses stomp (or jump, maybe they can add some more in) until eventually there's nothing left.

I think Diabolos in FFXI was similar in mechanics... but my memory might play tricks on me.

Anyone know what are the brd nerfs?

Any details as to what kind of buffs WARs will receive? As a WAR main, im very curious about this little tidbit :D

I knew they are buffing melee because bards are relatively strong, but I didn't know they are actually nerfing bard as well. Anyone have more details?

*sad face*

I think they will be doing something with distance and positioning affecting damage

I really hope they dont do positioning and distance to brd. That was the worst thing to happen to rng in 11.

Super Mario 64. Four stomps = platform turns into a smallish star. Bowser only does this in the final fight. Getting caught in his shockwave attack isn't a big deal until this happens. If you get caught in the wave, you are stunned, which can allow him to burn you with fire. That's gonna make mario jump all over the place uncontrollably and you could end up falling off very easily on the star'd platform.


I think this fight is what inspired SE to setup the titan fight in such a way, but instead of the wave stunning you, it knocks you back.
