03.12.16 patch information available from stratics. includes:

[Levelling]
* Level cap will be raised to 75.

* Knockback by certain skills will be changed
* Resist job traits will be altered (resist silence, resist slow, etc)
* Killer (Plant Killer, etc) job traits/abilities will be modified
* Circle (Arcane Circle, etc) job abilities will be modified
* Cure V will be restricted to WHM only

[Quests]
* Quests for gaining new weapon skills will be added
* The Chocobo riding quest and required level will be lowered to level 15 - however characters below level 20 will have significantly shorter riding time (don't expect to be able to go Bastok-Jeuno on one under 20)

[Equipment/Synthesis/Items]
* New items will be available from avatar battles
* Synthesis cap will be raised to 100
* New recipies will be added
* New items will be available for logging and mining

[Dungeons]
* Treasure Chest reappearance will now happen at random intervals
* Monsters will be rearranged in level 50-70 areas

[System]
* The camera position will be lowered to eye level for sitting characters (/sit)
* Camers angles and zoom will no longer reset after chaing areas or logging out - it will be saved by the system
* Auto-translate will now change the sise of the window to accomodate larger words
* Auto-translate words will be clearly marked in dialogue
* A new option for the number of sound effects to be played at teh same time will be added

[Other Notes]
* Limbo areas (each country's undercity dungeon) have been delayed - they will be added next update. Each "limbo" dungeon is extremely high level (70+) and is only accessible to those who have met requirements to enter it. In order to survive limbo areas, alliances of more than 18 characters will have to be created.
* No further level cap raises will be planned, but high-quality hard-to-get level 75 equipment will be added to the game to further character development.

I noticed the X-masy stuff on my login screen last night but I never made the game cause my dog went crazy. So I'm hoping to get a santa suit for my Tarutaru.
