Corrected the damage from 1/3 to 100% or from 100% to 1/3 . D: ?? If it's the former, seems like Final Strike Ninjas are very powerful now.

Wait a bit, we're still many hours away from maintenance. (>12 hours)

Finally, finally...

Now I wanna see the skills description! They have changed a lot the playing style of each class. I am anxious to know about the "Gentle touches.

Yay! Finally some new cards.

Entweihan card MUST be overpowered!!

I want to see shuras and the new cards ( who seem to be incomplete).

Wow, this is goina be one juicey update. Adding the Sura job was enough, but 11 new cards, makes me wonder what their goina look like. Tho I think Doddler or someone else posted some pics found on a artists website giveing a hint at what they may look like.

ill be honost, I had a dream last night, and in my dream I saw a pic of the Sura. He was wearing a outfit made of bear skin and had the skin, with the eyeballs still on top of his head with a mean look on his face. And the weird part is that most of the time when I have dreams like this, they mostly come true.

I do hope this one wont come true. xD

I need to see these sprites!
