Ul'dah Under Siege!
With the final save of character data behind us, a slew of changes have been taking place in Eorzea. Those who logged on after maintenance were originally disappointed by the seemingly unchanged world, but after several hours changes began to occur. For those who haven't logged in yet, I highly suggest you do, and show off your screenshots!
Letter from the Producer, XXXVIII
In this letter, Yoshi-P expresses his thanks to all of us players for our encouragement and support over the last two years. The alpha is going well, with no major problems and they are receiving a lot of feedback. More testers will begin to get notifications soon, and they will announce on the Twitter when emails are being sent, so keep an eye out if you applied!
Two screenshots from alpha were leaked:

A LIVE letter from the producer is planned for 2:00AM PDT on November 11th, so get your questions in now!
The Last Word
Kipih Jakkya has written her last report as the war gets too close to home and Eorzea deteriorates.
An excerpt:
This post has lead many to believe that perhaps /pray may be utilized to progress further in our apocolyptic storyline. Follow the development and testing of this theory on the Lodestone official forums here if you are interested.
Until next time!

- There has been a cloud layer removed from the sky. Dalamud is more intense (but not closer, yet). Stars and the moon could be seen through the clouds at night.
- Shortly after maintenance, several new camps in the Black Shroud, Thanalan, and Mor Dhona changed to 0 anima required and their aetherytes changed from blue to orange.
- A lightning storm began, and has been a constant weather effect ever since.
- Packs of Great Buffalo, Marlboros, Chimeras, and other notorious monsters only previously seen in dungeons or as a single mob were seen outside the Gate of Thal in Thanalan.
- Atomos-related mobs began spawning within Ul'dah
- Imperials began spawning within Ul'dah.
- Nael van Darnus (single or multiple of him!) began spawning in Ul'dah.
- A version of the themesong "Answers" is now playing in various regions of Eorzea.
- Golems called Number 126 have started spawning inside Ul'dah, though they do not stray far from the Bric-a-Brac/Adventurer's Guild area, they hit for 9999HP consistently. They are incredibly resistant to magic and physical attack.

Kipih Jakkya has written her last report as the war gets too close to home and Eorzea deteriorates.
An excerpt:
Quote:Our conflict with the Empire is approaching a terrible climax as well. Widespread rumors tell of a great allied force, bolstered by many brave adventurers, marching to confront the Garlean menace at the Carteneau Flats. However, it is also whispered that the VIIth Legion has fortified its encampments and now lies ready to repel any attack. How events shall ultimately unfold is anything but clear. For now, we can only offer prayers for our fighting men and women.
In truth, our prayers may possess more power than we realize. The sudden appearance of the Twelve’s divine symbols has caused a tremendous stir in recent days. Sharlayan scholars are now asserting that if enough Eorzeans were to entreat the gods at these sites, our combined religious devotion may well move them to act. If these claims are true, then perhaps there is still hope.
