The only concern I see here for PC users wanting to look stuff up while playing is this little gem SE stuck in there:
You may lose your connection and be returned to PlayOnline when performing the following actions while FINAL FANTASY XI is running:
Activating certain screen savers
Starting other applications
Still cool though...
Live News from Fan Festival 2007
The opening ceremony has totally floored us, to say the least. Not only did they go through the history of Vana'Diel (which was breathtaking) they also revealed some extra goodies...
You heard it here first!
On top of that, they also briefed on Scholar and Dancer and are allowing people to test out the new jobs. From what they said, Dancer is meant to be a Healer/Enfeebler/Buffer using their TP to form combos which build up points for Finishing Moves in their dances.
Scholar is not just a support job, but a job that is fully capable of hitting the front line using their job abilities. Unlike other jobs, their job abilities don't have a recast timer; they use points. That also allows you to combine job abilities to fully maximize a white or black magic spell. As you level up, you will gain the max of 3 points to use job abilities at your whim. Points generate by 1 every 4 minutes.
Stay tuned for more as we get 'em!
