They're almost certainly just making the Incursion campaign a permanent thing.

That would be awesome. Incursion sucks *** without it being high level with a THF on all the boss's.

At this point I actually hope they DON'T fix MNK. They've flirted with me too much and never put out. I've gone to greener pastures!
I've spent so much time gearing and investing in other jobs that my inventory couldn't handle bringing MNK back on-line.
SE better release wardrobes 5 and 6 before fixing it.

The slot machine for what they'll do next update just hasn't come up MNK yet.
(And yes, of course, FFXIV's has better graphics)

Buff Pankration, obviously. Pankration will now have a 0.1% chance to drop Legion crafting mats, but only when you win while under the effect of Geo Songs + Afflatus Misery, while wearing your Pitchfork +1 and Adoulin +1 ring. But only for 2 hrs per month.

I'd love for them to actually finish Pnakration... and monstrosity for that matter.
By Sidiov 2017-06-21 15:36:13
Pankration couldve been so awesome, ffxi pokemons!

Announcing the July Version Update
Well met, adventurers!
Matsui here once again with your July version update information.
Now, I don’t know if it was because of everybody gearing up and taking down that wet and sticky Ambuscade last month,
but the humidity has hit Japan in full force.
They say that living things tend to be more active once the temperature starts rising,
and that’s exactly what we’re doing—working hard to bring you the latest update!
Okay, let’s get on to what we’ve got in store for you.
This month’s Ambuscade is based on the topic of insect collecting.
In fact, the rhinoceros beetle is a well-known symbol of summer in Japan.
One of my favorite things to do when I was younger was to shake trees and see what kind of insects would fall out.
Sure, I had a couple of moths fly out and almost give me a heart attack, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
That’s the spirit behind what’s in store this month, so be sure to take a look.
We’ll also be adding a new quest for Seekers of Adoulin.
At last, the smaller stories you’ve been following for months now are building up to the grand finale,
and we can finally learn exactly what it is that Ygnas has been up to all this time.
I hope you enjoy the culmination of this journey as you proceed through the quest.
In other news, based on the feedback we’ve received from the official forums,
we’ve made some adjustments to the Incursion treasure drops so that all coffers will permanently become grand coffers like with the Incursion Campaign system.
We also have other changes planned, like increasing the max value of equipment properties such as “Samba duration+,” among others.
Check out the tables below for more details on what’s coming in July.
Of course, some things are still under consideration, so we might not be able to implement everything as planned,
but as always, you can count on us to give it our best.

Announcing the July Version Update
Well met, fools!
Matsui here, not lolTanakka, with your shitty monthly version update information.
Okay, let’s get on with trolling you vagabonds!
NO MNK Adjustments and NO SMN NERFS!
Grind hard! Bye now
By jopa 2017-06-28 19:12:08
Not necessarily. The increased values on equipment properties could include Martial Arts!

Think big!
Also what exactly were people expecting for July update? They didn't mention anything about it being a big update after a small one in June. It's more of the same with house keeping stuff. Certainly a bigger update than the June one.

They are holding back any major updates to coincide with the release of the new expansion expected in November.

You would think they would streamline more QoL changes like Ambu cape trade in's or such...
Nope -
I guess another month of aeonic clears and omen cards with a side of ambu grind...

They said June was a pre update to something bigger - They either lied or dropped the ball

They hinted at new battle content, which means probably a big fall update. They are probably slowly rolling out adjustments to jobs and in this case gear to prep for that.
Next month MNK is totally getting buffed tho!

"June is a small update to get ready for a massive July update, please get ready" They did say something like that but I don't seem to recall they specifically said July. We all assumed that though.
Guess they postponed the new battle content until august, or at this point more likely september maybe?
By Blazed1979 2017-06-29 02:57:30
They said June was a pre update to something bigger - They either lied or dropped the ball Square Enix and Time Management have been locked in battle for the duration of the millenia. Time Management has had the upper hand* , using advanced artillery like "Project Plan" and Airborn "Resource Management", land attacks "compartmentalizing information" against Square enix's obsolete "random dev guy writes down his thoughts", "social media post count+1", "barrancing", and even their BSOEP - (*** of Epic Proportions) "please, look forward to it", "Kupo".
Its a wonder why SE hasn't caved in and allowed Time Management to just conquer their area.

Ark Angel TT maybe? Or the one they promised us a couple of months ago as a temporary powerful aura-based Trust?
Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
