was thinking something like social links in P4 and the alter egos get stronger as you raise your bond with them

Announcing the Next Version Update!
The next version update is scheduled for early April.
Enjoy a variety of additions and new ways to enjoy FINAL FANTASY XI, including new battle content known as ambuscade, a new method of transportation known as mounts, and alter ego emotion linking.
We are also making progress on implementing a second Mog Wardrobe, and we hope you're looking forward to enjoying it as much as we're looking forward to bringing it to you.

New battle content known as Ambuscade, can we just pretend that the March announcement didn't happen at this point? lol
Wow that monster looks like tojil s meaner cousin. Hope that new battlefield brings good gears. :)

I'd let her handle my kupo nuts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If its something where the more you use certain trusts the stronger they get,.... great. As long as its more noticable than unity leader shirts.
If its something with emotes i can pass and really hope they didnt waste time on it.

At this point, I wouldn't really be surprised if they were like, "Fug it, lets make more add-on scenarios." I'm actually pretty impressed with how much this smaller team is able to do.
I just came back to XI after quitting XIV because that game is God awefull. I'm so impressed with how much there is to do in XI now (its been about 18-20 months since I had quit).

Part of that, too, is that they aren't tied to the console platforms anymore. This next version update is PC only, and it can not be overstated how much simpler that makes things.
Minus that every thing is still tied to consoles in that they have to use ps2 dev kits to make anything.

Only having to test for one platform is a gigantic deal.

From what they've said, I don't think it's everything necessarily, and more things like animations and cutscenes. Figure, players have done DAT mods and the like. Other copy/paste/edit additions don't seem like they'd require PS2 development to implement either.
That said, I am surprised to see "new" battle content - I expect it's effectively a higher level version of an older event, but still, it's beyond what they'd set expectations for.

Well testing for 1 system (pc) is actually more complicated than just testing for ps2. Since all ps2 had the same specs, testing for ps2 was a lot less complicated than accounting for different OS, video cards, system spects etc.
While they no longer have to worry about the 32mb of ram, its still a built in constraint that is part of the ps2 dev kit which they might or might not be able to change depending on the dev kit itself. If ram is locked and they cant change it, there is little they can do.
Ambuscade just looks like Legion 2.0, yeah?
I'm having a hard time believing that the drops in Ambuscade will usurp Reisenjima Augmented stuff. Unless it's new abjuration stuff (Einherjar abjs 119?) or new accessories/grips with +10stat etc.

They'll find ways to make some good stuff come from it I'm sure.

The area that it's in yes but otherwise there is 0 info on it. There are two trusts and one solo player in it though so I'm not sure how difficult that will be.
"Making Progress" on the Wardrobe II better mean that it's done when the update comes. I've been slowly keeping more utility gear than I normally would in expectation for it and am getting real tight.

Well, the name means "ambush" basically, which doesn't necessarily play against it being Legion 2.0, with it's waves of mobs spawning on you.
Designing it more for solo/lowman would certainly make more sense at this stage of the game though.

Not to mention the Ambuscade Ring = Legion 2.0
Ok... I didn't get that from the tiny info there but you are free to speculate lol. I'd like it to be like Legion as that was fun to me, but in reality I kinda feel it will be much smaller in scale.
So from today's post about migration to PC:
Dare we hope there will be some changes regarding PlayOnline in the near future?

I thought they required us to do that a while back anyway. Unless it was different for console users, maybe it's just included in order to be comprehensive for potential returning players.
I honestly don't remember; I switched mine years ago for the token/Satchel.
Would be nice if killing PS2/X360 meant being able to kill PlayOnline, though. Get a brand new client where you simply enter your credentials and press Play.
A person can dream...
