gosh wont be whining about dark after update as much

does the reduction to Souleater mean it only takes 8% or soemthing? hence you'll have 2% less HP going into swings damage? plus i have a feeling we are gonna be seeing some low Crit numbers once VIT comes into play :/

From the PlayOnline website:

To commemorate the conclusion of the Abyssea series of battle add-ons, we are proud to introduce a special in-game gift for players who have purchased the entire trilogy. All characters under a single account registered for all three Abyssea installments will be eligible to receive the "Prishe Statue," a furnishing featuring the spirited Tavnazian heroine. Owners of the FINAL FANTASY XI Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition—scheduled for release on May 16—can also rejoice, as the gift will be available to them as well!

Following the release of the next version update, eligible characters may collect their Prische's Statue from the treasure coffer located near NPC "Joachim" in Port Jeuno.
