Of course there'll be new missions Pio-Pio... I just hope Al'Zadal is more in-depth then the last time they opened it up... Salvage sounds cool, I hope its an event like assault/limbus is...

New Areas

Along with the introduction of a new battle system "Salvage," the previously restricted access to the Ruins of Alza'daal will be lifted, allowing players free reign to explore the entire region.
Also, several unreachable sections of both the Bhaflau Thickets and the Caedarva Mire will become accessible, and adventurers will be able to encounter the creatures that inhabit those locations.

Mog Lockers

The maximum capacity for Mog Lockers will be increased to 70 items.

New Quests

Several new quests, including a story that centers on Aht Urhgan's Serpent Generals, are planned for the upcoming version update.

Experience Points in Besieged

The experience point reward in Besieged will become obtainable as limit points.

Tu'Lia

After meeting certain requirements, it will become possible to travel directly to Tu'Lia from the Hall of Transference (found beneath the Crags of Holla, Dem, and Mea).

Fellows

The Fellow system will be adjusted so that your fellow no longer disappears when you change areas.
*Fellows will still disappear if the area you enter is not an area in which fellows can normally be called.

=O Ability to get to Sky without going through Ro'Maeve? YES PLEASE!

Sorry Achu ,but most of the things that you re-quoted for me dont get me excited at all.. lol

Improvements to existing game mechanics - not excited
Salvage - not very excited
Ruins of Alza'daal, free to explore entire region - not excited
Several sections of Bhaflau Thickets and Caedarva Mire become accessible (these areas better have more than enough monsters for one lv70+ party...) - not too excited
New Quests - not excited
Experience point/Limit point reward in Besieged - very not excited
Porting from Crags-HollaMeaDem, Hall of Transference > Tu'Lia - nice, but a little too late in the coming - so not excited
Fellows not disbanding after zoning - not very excited because im done leveling my npc, just completing the last two pieces of sandy armor now.

/bored lol

I just like to quote the updates just for discussion purposes in case something interesting happens.

Personally, I'm fairly excited for Salvage, and even though it is late coming, the access to Sky from the crags makes me happy as well.

I love quests, they give me something to do when seeking party or when I just don't have time. A lot of the Aht Urhgan quests have been giving imperial currency as well, which I've been investing into my Walahra turban.

Merit points in Besieged will give me more reason to go MNK than just IS.

Extra storage space is very nice, I noticed you didn't mention that one. I'd think you of all people would know the benefits of extra storage, Mr. Almost-Five-Jobs-At-75. =p

So in the end, it's all a matter of opinion. =p Don't shoot the messenger!

Tidal doors are in Reef, aren't they? I think those are to the Astral Candy Sense BCNM. Yes, all 3.
