The implementation of an in-game command which displays time remaining until the next leve renewal
Adjustments to Item Stack Sizes
A significant increase in stack sizes (from 12 to 99) for several existing items
Improvements to Gathering
Changes to the frame rates of action animations to speed up gathering activities
Improvements to the Item Search Feature

Further details will be revealed in forthcoming Topics posts, as well as the post planned for release in conjunction with the patch.


FUN FACT:
As of today, game versions will be assigned alphanumeric values (eg. 1.15a). In addition, what for the past decade have been known to players of online FINAL FANTASY titles as "version updates" shall henceforth be referred to as "patches."

Minor stuff to begin with (minus the "SP for Parties" fix), but if we're going to be getting these patches every week or two from now on then it's a nice start I suppose.

I wonder if the alphanumeric version numbers are so they can eventually call the game v2.00

I wish instead of showing the price next to the item (in item search) it would search in all wards for the item.

The party SP improvement is nice!

Fatty was talking about how he wears a tiara as a gladiator, because he didn't like the look of the helmets, so this will be a good update for him. I must admit, I enjoyed the Zenith Crown in FFXI for similar reasons, though so far in FF14, I've enjoyed wearing my wizard caps as Ridere.

Pretty excited about the party SP change. Let's hope it's worthwhile.

I'm the same way. In both FFXI and FFXIV I don't like the way most helmets look. This is a cool feature.

Also the only hats I liked wearing on FFXI was the BLM and RDM AF hats, so I would probably be the same in FFXIV.

This is frustrating. This is the first solid update information we have had in weeks and its still just as wishy washy as everything else coming out of SE.

Enough is enough. Lets get this game fixed or shut it down.
