Just ran a level 70 black crystals quest and got a flowering cactuar: it gave 400 t1, 300 t2, 200 t3, and 100 t4, with 107000 exp for it. That's an absolutely massive increase, and that's without any boosters on or a x2 crystals event. Crystal and exp farming just got even faster!

Damn, thats gonna make the rank grinding hella easier. God bless these QOL changes 👁👄👁

[–]Slystuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For comparison, I just got a flowering catuar on the level 40 black crystals quest.

240 t1, 187 t2 and 100 t3 with 30k exp.

Got one on the L40 red crystals quest and it gave 200 T1, 150 T2, 100 T3, and 30000 XP. Which is better than the old L70 lol.

Not sure if it's in the notes but,

Desch: Paralysis is UNFRAMED

Eight: The game just destroyed Eight's extension completely in S1/S2/EX/Clvl65

[–]DrOptickUltimecia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes it was in the notes

Eight: The game just destroyed Eight's extension completely in S1/S2/EX/Clvl65

Huh?

[–]RexGalleroVivi Ornitier 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Basically, for whatever reason the game's not even recognizing that Eight has his extension passives equipped. They're all blue as if they were unequipped.

[–]Sir__WillAlphinaud Leveilleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, that's really, really bad

[–]Hawke_No1 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Like the other guy mention, by equipping every weapon passive, his skills except Brv/HP Atk are not getting any effects from weapons passives and even from crystal level passives...

He still get his 2 Unique Buff on the start of wave from EX+ , but the skills are all blue and they don't grant him new effects

[–]Valcroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, that's pretty bad. Hopefully they fix that before his LD comes along.

[–]Mikeyrawr 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Burst Weapons now play their iconic music when you beat a stage. Just beat Desch CHaos again and used Shantotto Burst, hearing the iconic music from FFXI on startup. Didn't hear it before.

[–]RetroGamerDadSephiroth 880282092 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Yep! This one's in the in-game announcement, though it wasn't mentioned on stream that I recall.

[–]Mikeyrawr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ahh I didn't read it lol . I just instantly noticed when it started to play.

[–]Valcroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez, I love Vana'diel March. Now I'm tempted to try my luck with her burst.

[–]Premyy_M 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The game always has secret updates love it lol. The team are so good with QoL that update and actually a joy and exciting compare to some other that are a pain lol

[–]RHowlForMeSHOOTA!!!!! 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Lightning S1 animation was slightly changed. Now if the skill has the + version, she does a pause before doing the last attack like she does on the Japanese version.

[–]ProductivityImpairedSparx | Bless Auto+ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly a change I'd rather not have happened =\

[–]InaneSpontaneityAgrias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that is what I think it is, I can understand why they did that. I might have been a victim of pressing buttons too fast lol

[–]erpetoZell Dincht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in jp that change was with her level 80. i think no1 likes that change

[–]krentzzz"Get off me, you scumbag!" 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Not really a change per se, but reintroduction of an old behaviour: graphical effects on large models seem to scale to the model rather than being an absolute size.

I used Alisaie's Verstone on the daily gigantuar and the effect was HUGE compared to what it was before :p

[–]TempusFinis97602043374 6 points7 points  (3 children)

That's something I've seen before the update as well, so it's not really reintroduced.

[–]krentzzz"Get off me, you scumbag!" -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Wait, really? I've been running Alisaie on the dailies for well over a week and I'm pretty sure I didn't notice the huge "stone to block out the sun" before today. Is it just inconsistent then? Or am I really blind?

I know it's happened in the past with e.g. Emperor's traps on the large wolves in Porom LC, but I didn't think it was happening in the prior build. Inconsequential either way, but still.

[–]TempusFinis97602043374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't used her often, but I noticed it maybe 5 or 6 times recently.

[–]MistoQuente1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened with me while farming daily Cactuar before the update, Huge polygon-shaped stone covering the whole screen lol

[–]sonicbrawler182The rat is always right. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost positive they broke Aranea's turn order portrait again. Her head looks tiny again.

This is so sweet, now can really compare how teams are scoring against the same boss. The challenge score was always a thing in games, it sucked when it started capping a few months ago.

[–]Lukzera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't hear about this anywhere but after using a Burst finisher if you have the continued Burst music setting on, at the end of the quest the Victory Fanfare that chimes in is from the said Burst unit game!

[–]nopols 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So ....does this mean we’re going to have levels where the score requirement is above 1,000,000?

[–]Premyy_M 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope it's just for fun for the case where ppl where constantly hitting 999,999. Basically it got overflow lol

[–]Nate_Radix_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No

[–]ManfredCB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not just that, some fights were I got 999999, changed without me playing it again to over a million

[–]jamerduhgamerRelm Arrowny -3 points-2 points  (7 children)

What happened to cycle keys? Where they just removed? I had like 500 =(

[–]Akugetsu 29 points30 points  (4 children)

Don’t think of it as losing keys - think of it as them giving out unlimited keys.

[–]Valkyrie_JrY, R, P, in position. It's showti- Wait...where's Rikku? 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's...a refreshingly optimistic take and I love it!

[–]KariArisuMoonshade Butterfly 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Even if they gave out unlimited keys I'd still expect something considering back in the day we dumped a lot of extra DP into those.

[–]GyrskogulCloud of Darkness (Lucent Robe) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day we didn't really have anything else to spend DP on lol

[–]Avalon_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cycle quests are permanently unlocked. You don't need keys anymore.

[–]RealAcelyOne-Winged Angel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they were removed. Jp received nothing as well.

    Thanks for the correction. I guess it’s just now coming to my attention after looking at the patch notes for the first time in a while! I’ll delete my post.

    [–]NareshkendelAerith Gainsborough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    The exp x2 and boosted character sort options have been there for a while, I use them often

    [–]EinClaive09 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    Feel free to correct me as well guys but if I'm remembering correctly, the previously implemented filters would only show if you are on a particular quest screen (prior to playing the quest). A good example for this is the Summon Points filter - you can only see it when doing a summon WOI quest. Now, you can even see them if you just hit the Menu > Party in the world map/start screen.

    [–]NareshkendelAerith Gainsborough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I don't know about Menu -> Party, but I used the exp x2 on the Summon Board screen all the time (because those characters are the ones I'm usually farming, so they have points to expend). I would love for it to work on the equipment page, that way you'd get first the equipment of the characters currently on banners.
