I've heard people have killed AV legit, but now nobody bothers because his drops are crap. Same for pandemonium warden.

About damn time. Only took a level cap increase.

System-relatedThe "Mog Sack" submenu has been added to the "View House" menu.
The "Mog Sack" is a new form of storage in the spirit of the existing Mog Satchel. It is accessible from anywhere on Vana'diel and allows players to freely interchange items with their standard inventory. Possessing the same storage capacity as the player's gobbiebag, it can be expanded to a maximum of 80 slots through quest completion.

The Mog Sack may be obtained for 9,980 gil from one of the "Artisan Moogle" NPCs stationed in the areas below (prior ownership of a Mog Satchel is not required for purchase). In the event that your gobbiebag increases in capacity after purchasing your mog sack, you may speak with an Artisan Moogle to have your mog sack expanded free of charge. Furthermore, Artisan Moogles will present adventurers with a scroll of "Instant Warp" once per day (Earth time).

Southern San d'Oria (M-6)

Players may view the contents of their Mog Sack via the aforementioned "Mog Sack" submenu or the "/sack" text command, and move items between it and their standard inventory as desired. Note that it is not possible to directly equip or use items in one's Mog Satchel, or sell them via bazaars.

Once acquired, job emotes may be used after switching to another job, or even if your level in the corresponding job falls below 30. Acquired job emotes will be listed under the "Key Items" -> "Permanent Key Items" submenu.

WHM Set: Augments elemental resistance spells

oh boy

That could actually be something major. Bard now has access to tier2 elemental carols which raise resistance and occasionally nullifies damage of that element. WHM set boost probably does that, since "enhances effect" generally just means it's stronger and "augments effect" generally means something entirely new is added to the effect.

Also, Meteor was promised, and is in the dats for level 99...

The beginning of the end.

It takes 7 days to cast, and right before you get to see the animation cloud strife shows up and kills you.

but yeah honestly I'm hoping there are no more big updates for another 6 months or so, I want to take some time to enjoy all of this.

Okay, that could be cool actually. It sounds like they have made the game incredibly epic. It was already on a pretty grand scale to begin with. I can't really even comprehend the complexity now. It seems like there's simply too much to do.

Think all this would make sense if I progressed more in the Wings of the Goddess storyline. Interdimensional travel, Atomos, possible futures, etc. I've tried not to read ahead on it to avoid spoilers but apparently...the Vana'diel we live in is a thread of time that was never meant to be.
