Announcing the November Version Update

Greetings, adventurers! Matsui here.

The November version update draws near, and we’ll be welcoming in the epic climax of Rhapsodies of Vana’diel. The update will take place on Tuesday, November 10th (JST), and as usual I’d like to give an early preview of the content to come.

First up is the final chapter of the Rhapsodies of Vana’diel scenario. The adventure that began with Iroha in May shifts to the sacred island of Reisenjima where the battle for the future of Vana’diel will ensue. Speaking of scenarios, we will also be concluding the Vegetable Vegetable Revolution questline from Seekers of Adoulin.

Next up is battle content. We’ll be expanding Geas Fete and Domain Invasion to Reisenjima and introducing powerful new notorious monsters that are the keepers of attractive loot. There will also be some new faces appearing in Unity: Wanted, as well as familiar notorious monsters from Treasures of Aht Urhgan that you’ll be able to wage war with in various areas.

New challenging foes require a new ******* of weapons, and we’ll be introducing a new type of weapons known as “Aeonic weapons.” While it won’t be possible to complete these weapons in November, their power is on par with that of Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons. Coinciding with the implementation of Aeonic weapons, we will also be making adjustments to Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons.

On the Mog Garden front, we will be increasing the monster rearing to rank 7, the maximum. Dragon- and cactuar-type monsters will be added for rearing, so be sure to take good care of them.

Job adjustments-wise, we will be increasing the Gift cap to 2100, and when reaching this cap you’ll be able to earn a special trait and title for being a prestigious “job master.” Additionally, we’ll be expanding the merit point and job point systems, and making adjustments to both beastmaster and puppetmaster.

Furthermore, we’ll be making adjustments to the auction house, home points, survival guides, outposts, and many more aspects to make adventuring even better!

The Goddess’s Gala will be in full swing for the November version update, so if you know anyone who is taking a break from adventuring, be sure to invite them to experience the conclusion of Rhapsodies of Vana’diel by taking advantage of the Return Home to Vana’diel Campaign(NA/EU). The Discount Campaign(NA/EU) will also be available during this time for adventurers who have yet to experience the other great scenarios.

The following is a list of items to be implemented in the November version update. Some content is currently undergoing testing, and certain entries may not be implemented if last minute bugs are encountered or any balance issues rear their heads.
