It turns out that a lot of people were unhappy with the changes made to White Mages in the most recent Final Fantasy XI update, and so the developers are planning to roll back the changes made to Esuna and Sacrifice. The changes made to protective spells will remain, however, and the major focus for changes this time around will be the Ninja job, which is having some of its Merit Point ninjutsu moved into scrolls similarly to other casters.
Players can also look forward to a new fight against a hydra in Ambuscade and a new high-tier battlefield against the enigmatic Cait Sith to provide some new content for players (useful if, say, you don’t play White Mage or Ninja and thus aren’t personally affected). Add in a new round of monthly objectives for players to tackle, and you should have plenty of stuff to do when the version update lands on July 8th.
