The Zilartian duo of Kam'lanaut and Eald'narche have the Stellar Fulcrum and Celestial Nexus swirling once again with the winds of opposition! Can any adventurers best them in battle? Only time will tell.

The lone wolves among Vana'diel's adventuring populace can also lose themselves in a tempest of new Records of Eminence objectives, those partial to their familiars will be glad to know that their best friends are more able than ever to kick up dust against the forces of evil, and reive volunteers will enjoy hearing how much more effective their efforts have become!

That is hardly the extent of this update, however!

Read on for all the stormy details.

Lastly, the next version update is scheduled to tear through the land in the middle of February. More information is forthcoming about this squall of improvements, so check back periodically to be blown away!

Downloading the update now. The size of the download feels quite a bit larger than what is described in these update notes. I wonder they might be sneaking in.

Home points have been introduced in the following locations.
Upper Delkfutt's Tower (F-9) / The Shrine of Ru'Avitau (H-7)
* Both locations correspond to the most difficult-to-reach places in their respective areas.
I'm sure the devs got tired of getting there to work on the new fights.

The issue with Records of Eminence wherein damage from familiars would not count toward the completion of the “Total Damage I” and “Deal 500+ Damage” objectives.
So it wasn't intentional? I missed out on so much because of this, especially since my usual H2H damage is in the mid 400s (you don't get to add both hits from the same round, of course) and Kenbishi is easily doing well over 500 for ranged attack.

The issue wherein players would exhibit unintentionally slow movement speeds when moving sideways after locking onto a target.
I thought we always moved pretty slowly moving sideways in lock-on? Maybe that didn't get the recent speed boost added in?

And Gil still isn't in the Currencies screen? SE, I am disappoint.

Was normal speed, but it had the benefit of not being affected by Gravity effects for some reason. Wouldn't surprise me if it got overlooked in the overall boost because of this, though.
