Well, the fact that you can now have better control of what your Fellow looks and acts like is nice... but do they really have to make it so that you have to reset your entire progress and start all over again...? Its a nice change though, I'll give it that. The point system sounds very interesting too, maybe it'll all more interest in playing around with your fellow moreso. The key item thing also helps in figuring out if I have the damn quest active or not!The following changes have been implemented to fellows:
- A new limit break quest has been added, making it possible to increase your adventuring fellow's level to 70.
- In the quest "Unlisted Qualities," it is now possible to choose your own combination of face type, personality, and height for your fellow.
Players who have obtained a signal pearl prior to this version update can access the above new content by returning their signal pearl to the relevant NPC and restarting the quest.
Those who had already commenced one of the following quests need to complete all three in order to obtain and return their signal pearl:
Unlisted Qualities / Girl in the Looking Glass / Mirror, Mirror- A new point system has been added to fellows. The more time you spend with your fellow, the more your "fellow points" will accumulate. These points can be exchanged for items for yourself and your fellow.
- New fellow personalities have been added.
- Fulfilling certain requirements will make it possible for you to summon your fellow to certain areas of past Vana'diel. Please note, though, that fellows cannot be summoned while a player is marked with an Allied Tag.
- A new key item has been added for the fellows Emptiness quest. Possession of this item will determine your quest offer status.

Oh look.. IXION IS COME.Several new Notorious Monsters have been added to areas introduced in both the Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess expansions.
The resistance of the following Notorious Monsters to the black magic spells "Sleep," "Gravity," and "Bind" have been adjusted:Well... its a change?
Behemoth / King Behemoth / Fafnir / Nidhogg / Capricious Cassie
Wait... did that screenshot just show.... Imp Wootz Ingots?The following changes have been made to the Einherjar system:
- The entry requirements for Wings I, II, and III have been simplified.
Except for the player placing the chamber reservation, all participating players will be able to enter any chamber in Wing I, II, or III simply by trading a "Glowing Lamp" to the entranceway.- The entry requirements for Valgrind (Odin's Chamber) have been simplified.
Except for the player placing the chamber reservation, all participating players will be required to be in possession of a minimum of one valkyrie feather from each wing, for a total of at least three feathers.
As before, entry into Valgrind will cause any and all related key items in all entering players' inventories to disappear.
* The above two changes in no way effect the player placing the chamber reservation.- The conditions for obtaining "Ampoules of Therion Ichor," as well as the maximum number obtainable, have been changed.
In contrast to the previous system of receiving a set number of ampoules upon successful completion of a chamber, players will now receive an amount relative to the number of enemies they have defeated, regardless of whether the chamber is completed or not.
Defeating any of the "Guardians of Asgarth" will in no way increase the number of ampoules of therion ichor a player obtains.- The rewards furnished upon successful completion of chambers have been supplemented.
The "Armoury Crates" which appear after defeating the Guardians of Asgarth can now contain a greater variety of items, a number of which were previously unavailable in Einherjar.- Monsters within Einherjar chambers will now link with one another in the same manner as enemies in other general areas.
The cap for all job-specific Group 2 merit point categories has been increased.Oh boy... I saw this coming for SAM... Well, at least its an upgrade to some extent.
All Group 2 limits have been raised from the previous total of 6 points to 10 points, and the limits for individual spells and abilities within Group 2 from 3 points to 5 points.
* The damage boost values generated by the first three increases to the Samurai ability "Overwhelm" will be greater than those generated by the final two increases.
Several new equipment items have been added.
Wise Gear oh no. Nice weapon though...
Just... one percent?
New equipment items have been added as rewards for completing 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 storage capacity for the following items has been adjusted:

|
I just want to point out that Storage is capped at 80 so... don't get too excited. But still, a bunch of these items just went WAAAAAAY up.
A new text command "/battlebgm" has been added. Use this command to toggle the condition for battle music playback between: 1) when you yourself enter battle mode; and 2) whenever any party member enters battle mode.I know they added this in a prior update note but... here's how you can change it!
Players of the Xbox 360 version of FINAL FANTASY XI can now unlock achievements and increase their gamerscore.... We can unlock achievements... Now? Something wasn't worded right. :3
Well, that's really it for the update. Again, I didn't point out the new abilities and jobs and the NM system because... well, they were already mentioned and nothing "new" was released about it. Overall, I can't say I'm disappointed or pleased at all really, mainly because a lot of these changes are things that are not mentioned in detail on the site. We'll just have to see what happens once the server goes back up. Until then: Team Fortress 2 time! ;3

That should probably have been 'Can now unlock NEW achivements' on the 360 section.
Just checked and I noticed that FFXI had gone from 1010 possible Gamerscore points and 32 achievements to 1250 Gamescore points and 57 achievements.
Probably 2 of which are the level 75 ones for DNC and SCH, no idea yet what the other new ones are since they are all secret achievements and only show up if you have earned them yourself.
