The NIN looks like he's holding the bastard child of a scythe and a katana.

I want a Scytana.

Nah achi he's just aggressively harvesting.

I like how we are going to be mainly focused on the missions this update since they gave us the shaft on them last time!

I'm interesting in what this new campaign ranking system is. I mean, it sounds like they are doing more than just new medals. Maybe it turns into something similar to the way assault rank worked and for the last little bit it becomes more boot camp than anything else.

Update to fellows (maybe they will finally let us use in ToAU? ...lol) and chocobo's seems meh to me right now.

Also pin, english is your friend:

"battle-related tweaks encompassing jobs and merit points"

Tweaks, meaning they are just changing what's already there, not adding new things :P

Just have to try and crush your hopes even though your probably right anyways.

EDIT: WAIT! It's so clear how did I miss it! It's not a new weapon achi! They are just finally giving galka the ability to single wield dual handed weapons! XD

Oh, and regarding new weapons in the update:

Sword-chucks or gtfo.

That weapon looks like a rare sort of ancient axe, since ffxi likes to use old axe models. Too small to be a scythe, and they already have sickles XD. Since apparently smns can use scythes (from that one video) who knows :P. Chances are they will somehow put it under katana though.

The only job update that I'm still looking for now is to give whm clear mind V.

From the looks of it, that appears to be a kama.

See: Kama

I really hope this update delivers some big stuff, because so far the entire WotG expansion has been extremely ho-hum. Where's the big bang? Sort-of new areas + some quests + two Gobbiebags does not an expansion make <_<

Hmm yeah, that seems more likely to be it. Especially since it's associated with ninjas. I was thinking of the Kusarigama, which is just the more awesome version, but it appears to have no chain. (at least in the visible picture).

Comfortable, fuss-free adventuring for all players is one of our biggest priorities. That is why for the next version update, we will be introducing some changes intended to make Vana'dielian living that much more convenient. For this Topics, we will take a look at changes to synthesis, armor storage, and furnishings.

Synthesis

Our fans often describe HQ item synthesis as a fulfilling yet occasionally frustrating process. Taking such voices to heart, following lengthy deliberation, the developers have decided to add new synthesis enhancement items as the reward for guild contract quests. While using these items, you will not be able to create an HQ item, but you will receive an overall success rate bonus for synthesis.

The positive effects of these items are expected to span beyond merely improving your success rate in synthesis. The raising of synthesis skills should become that much more enjoyable an experience, and certain items should become more affordable than before.

These synthesis enhancement items are a must-have for masters and apprentices alike!

Armor Storage

The release of the Wings of the Goddess expansion saw the addition of several new sets of armor. To accommodate this increase, the following armor sets will become storable by talking to specific NPCs:

Pahluwan / Yigit / Amir

Furnishings

Since it became possible to invite friends over to your Mog House, we've been seeing more and more adventurers taking an active interest in their furnishings in a friendly contest of affluence with neighbors. Amidst this recent trend, it has come to our attention that the function of some furnishings was not proportional to cost, resulting in them being largely ignored by players.

To rectify this issue, and ultimately improve the living standard for adventurers, a number of furnishings will receive adjustments to attributes such as storage capacity and effects. Detailed information on these changes will be announced upon the release of the next version update.
