Well, PS2 and Xbox has officially been discontinued.  So FFXI is PC only now.

Recently, the game released ways to reforge legendary weapons, that is, Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and Ergon, to new versions with improved stats and Afterglow.  It's pretty staggering to see the stats on some of these so-called Ultimate Weapons...  along with Aeonics, which need no reforging but require the defeat of some of the most obscenely powerful opponents in the game.

The next update adds a battle content called Ambuscade where the opponents change every update, a second Wardrobe, and the Mount system (can ride things other than chocobos).

Don't be a stranger, drop in and say hi sometimes!

I really want to start playing again! I will if I can

In another useful change this particular update, they changed inventory loading so that it happens in two stages:  First, your inventory and wardrobes load, THEN your other storage systems do.  That way you can change equipment and such faster than before after a zone.

And looking forward to seeing you, Zeri!

I'm officially back! I updated the game yesterday, and I'll be able to (hopefully) play a few hours a couple nights a week
