Greetings, adventurers! Matsui here.

The development team is currently working as strong as the gales of Garuda to release the final version update of 2016 on Thursday, December 10 (JST), and I would like to give everyone a preview of what’s to come!

In the previous version update, we introduced the questline to get everyone started on the path towards Aeonic weapons, but at long last adventurers will be able to obtain these brand-new, powerful weapons. In order to earn these weapons that enable you to unleash special skill chains, adventurers will have to brave notorious monster battles and progress through the quest. Be sure to give it a shot if you think you have what it takes!

On that same note, battle content-wise we will be adding a slew of powerful monsters to Geas Fete, which are directly tied to creating Aeonic weapons. Look forward to these enjoyable battles along with the rewards they have to offer. Furthermore, we will be making adjustments to the large amount of monsters that spawn in the vicinity of notorious monster locations, as well as the width of Geas Fete battle areas. As a provisional measure we will be reducing the size of the battle area for all zones, and we’d like everyone to try it out and give feedback on the user-friendliness.

Unity Concord will be expanded as well, and we’ll be adding new equipment sets fashioned after Unity leaders, which you can think of as Unity uniforms. Additionally on the item front, we’ll be making adjustments to the stats found on the new abjuration equipment, making them even more powerful to rival the equipment that can be obtained in Reisenjima.

The Trust Initiative that has been helping support adventurers will release new alter egos, and adjustments will be made to existing alter egos to make them even more helpful.

Other features such as a software keyboard for the Windows version, an expansion of the items that can be listed on the auction house, new emotes, and much more will be implemented to make December an exciting month!
