Final Fantasy XIV
Updates :
Final Fantasy XIV Patch 1.5a, which is to be the first of the, at least, bi-monthly patches (no longer referred to as Version Updates) has arrived! The first of many upcoming and much called for updates to XIV is already looking promising. From things such as SP improvements to continual improvements to the Market Ward system, Square-Enix, under the new direction of Naoki Yoshida, looks to be taking us in the right direction.
- Party bonuses have been adjusted to award larger amounts of skill and experience points based on party size.
- The amount of skill and experience points awarded for solo battle between ranks 20 and 24 has been balanced to facilitate leveling.
- Defeating an enemy of a higher rank than oneself now awards more skill and experience points, while defeating lower rank enemies yields less skill and experience points.

- Up to twenty (20) search results are now shown in ascending order by price, together with the retainer name, unit of sale, and market area.
- Item search results are now displayed with more detailed information.
