The fast-approaching major version update will usher in auspicious adjustments spanning a wide range of in-game elements. Today, it is our pleasure to introduce the changes that are scheduled for the Chocobo Circuit, the fishing quest “Inside the Belly,” and more!
Read on for the details.
Chocobo Circuit
- Bigger Rewards
The amount of chocobucks rewarded to first, second, and third place winners in chocobo racing will be significantly increased.
- Revised Race Schedule
The Chocobo Circuit schedule has undergone a full review. The C2 Chocobo Race and C1 Crystal Stakes will be held with greater frequency, and races will take place at the same time each Earth day, making it easier for players to participate than ever before.
*The red and blue race attendants above will alternately conduct races.
- New Rewards
The dashing racing silks dutifully worn by jockeys will be added to the list of reward items obtainable in exchange for chocobucks. With each color offering unique beneficial effects for its wearer, there is bound to be something for every chocobo fan!

Quest: Inside the Belly
Players will be able to turn in more varieties of fish to the quest-starter NPC. Rumor has it these fishes have a penchant for swallowing up new equipment whole…?

Past Vana’diel
- Xarcabard [S]
Monster distribution will be adjusted to allow adventurers to safely arrive at their destination when using the teleportation service requiring Allied Notes.
- Eldieme Necropolis [S]
A number of gates within the necropolis will be adjusted to remain open at all times to allow players to find their way to union treasure chests at the end of a Campaign Battle.
All this and more is coming to you in the soon-arriving major version update!
/facepalm on the Chocobo Racing……
Wow. The 5 people who still do racing will be very excited about this…
I guess SE could not hold there excitement!
XD I must be one of the 5. I actually smiled a little at the change in race times.
sometimes i think how about they give us…….. NOTHING AT ALL so people don’t have a reason to whine about every damn thing they see as a update. i have watched it for some time now and the majority of the posts in the community forums about the entire update and everything new that comes out is just nagging and bitching, i don’t really get it. who cares if only 5 people enjoy racing right now, they try to work on it and make it enjoyable for more people. just because the majority branded some gameplay elements as waste of time it´s not the ultimate truth. sorry bout the rant but im already having a hard to to motivate myself again because of all the negativity that is around since the announcement of 14, its such a shame cause there’s so many more i want to accomplish and see in vanadiel even after the 5 1/2 years im playing already
Epic Preview. The choco chart my gosh…I’m guessing the AV/PW squad had a hand in this.
The end game content is lacking this update grats to all the people who play to enjoy the game after a hard day at work etc.
I gave up after 5 years, Yumi.. Too much of a waste, all that grinding to get to 75 and then.. Endless elitism.
Sadly, SE has a serious habit of updating shit that NO ONE EVER DOES or just never keeping it updated at all.
Ballista and Brenner haven’t seen a single update for like.. 3 years. That’s just an example, but often they wait until it’s a dead system, then -try- and bring it back by adding something totally minor to try and appease the fanbase. Need I even mention GARRISON? HAHAHAHA!! That’s such a laughable concept nowadays.
But then, when there really IS a need for a new, fresh update or whatever, it’s always a setback by giving the players rehashes of old systems that NOBODY CARES ABOUT.
….I swear this quote says it all.
“If brains were gasoline, most FFXI players wouldn’t have enough to power an ants motorcycle around the outside of a penny.”
D’accord with Yumichan.
@Zedarin
It seems like you need to take the mouse, totem pole, and or combination of each, or whatever the hell you have jammed up your ass out and go outside for a bit, this isn’t the place for complaints from emotional and butt-hurt people…wait wait, no this is the internet…right place, either way, it doesn’t help your case of being an idiot.
Also, Garrison as far as I can recollect was a very fun event while I was first getting into the game, had a LS that did it weekly before I even had a 75 or did HNM and we all had a great time and enjoyed it.
Knee-who, neat to see them updating jazz like this along with the other things they’re adding to the update.
tl;dr:
Zedarin is a twat.
People need to bitch less.
Garrison can be a fun event while leveling up with friends & what not.
Hurray anything being updated.
Have fun people that benefit from the update :{D>
PS
the real travesty here is that the names of Popeye’s four nephews are Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye!
sucks to be them!
