In the latest monthly update to Final Fantasy XI available today, Ambuscade has refreshed corses and demon encounters, and Sortie has been updated to further address congestion players are experiencing. A chat log "term filter" can also be created by editing local files to include those terms. Producer Akihiko Matsui and director Yoji Fujito talk about the February update’s highlights below.
You can check out the detailed update notes on the official forums here.
Ambuscade
In February's update, Volume One features Corses, while Volume Two features Demons. The Corse encounter has been adjusted where it will no longer use Gambol Macabre when its skeleton minions are not present — which the team says will be an easier fight if you focus on the minions. However, if the Corse uses a special ability when the targeted player is a certain distance away, it will always use Gambol Macabre regardless of whether any minions are present. Additionally, when the Corse uses Blood Weapon, it will remove any negative status ailments from itself and its minions. If you're playing at a distance to limit what special abilities the Corse can use, make sure you don't move too far away.
