Announcing the June Version Update

Well met, adventurers! Matsui here with the latest FINAL FANTASY XI news.

June means many different things across the world. Here in Japan, it’s the rainy season. Many places in North America and Europe are entering summer holidays.
In Oceania, it’s the middle of winter. But one thing’s for sure—no matter where you are, June is a great time to spend in Vana’diel!

The first topic this month is Ambuscade. Keep your shoes on, because it’s going to be crawling with slugs! Vana’diel is humid this time of year,
meaning the damp ground is just a veritable breeding ground for these slimy insects.

We’ve received feedback from multiple users that the Escutcheon quest line cancel dialogue is a little vague,
so we’ve adjusted the conversation a bit to make it flow better. Don’t worry—we’ve got our eye on this and other potential ease-of-understanding changes.

This update may be on the small side, but think of it as pre-combat buffing before we alpha strike our way to victory!

As is customary, we’ve prepared a table detailing the changes you can expect in June.
Last-minute issues may arise prevent us from implementing everything in this list,
but we’re doing our utmost to bring everything here to you this month.

Conclusion: GA Break WS's will now last 10 seconds longer

<SE> Hey guys, we are going to adjust WSs!
<Community> All Right! Finally, H2H WSs are going to be great again!
<SE> JK! We are only going to adjust the additional effects on certain WSs, so your Full Break can land enfeebles better *troll face*

I wonder if they will make Metatron Torment's defense down proc more often. <_<

I wouldn't be surprised if it was stuff like Armor/Weapon/Full Break only for GAXE.

I'm still totally fine with it if they actually fix them (and the blu spells while at it). They been blowing smoke in our faces forever about it. Cmon Tourbillion and idk Barbed Crescent?

Resolved Issues

(...)

• The issue with the following blue magic spells wherein the accuracy of their additional effects was incorrect.

  Wild Oats / Sandspin / Hecatomb Wave / Maelstrom / Barbed Crescent / Tourbillion

Blue Magics were fixed more than 2 years ago.

I don't get it.
