Falcon Eye
Miracle Cheer
Changed Attribute Description- "All songs +3 Grants an additional song effect Sets the song effect duration for party members to 15 minutes" changed to "7"

These items were changed. Note that they are attributes to the new great sword they added, so its just a matter of a *** on SE's end.

I understand that's what the data in the DAT file might state but to clarify, from my testing, I have not seen any 7min duration on my pocket BRD. So I'd lean to its a incorrect item description and not an actual change for the item.
You misunderstand. The entire item description was replaced with just "7".

See https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/59120/september-2026-version-update#3797817

I'm aware, my point was it's not reduced to 7 min even though the text says 7. The description on BG is wrong, no?

The description change is obviously unintentional and erroneous. Why jump to the assumption that the duration is changed? And why the duration specifically? It also doesn't give All Songs +7 or give 7 additional songs or require Su7. The Version Update page on bg shows changes in item descriptions based on the DATs only, nowhere does bg claim that the duration is now 7 minutes. This isn't the first time SE bungled an update and broke an item description, I don't understand why people are overreacting to this one instance.

The AI now responsible for all XI changes cannot make sense of the spaghetti code.

Please look forward to it.

I have mouse short cuts and when the software for some reason doesn't detect that I've switched apps and doesn't automatically adjust to the correct profile I often get a 7 pasted instead of what I was actually trying to copy/paste.

Just trying to say could have been caused by weird stuff, not just AI. Although I wouldn't know why they'd edit those specific item descriptions now.

SE has repeatedly messed up item descriptions in the past. Probably every 3 months. The functionality of the instrument has not changed, its a display error. No reason to change BG when it will be reverted by SE. English is the red headed stepchild. It displays the same in Japanese as it did before.

I thought it was obvious I was referring to this, the thing that was discussed in this thread.

BG records the text change as a matter of historic record in its monthly update notes page (your link) while the specific item page remains unchanged, if that’s what’s throwing you off Mel.

I submitted a bug report yesterday if anyone wants to go through the rigmarole to login and like it so it gets moved into “accepted bugs” and patched next year.

v4 is up and running as I can get in there. v3 is a no go. I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the plugins/addons I want going, but it's likely dumb mistakes on my end. My brain isn't braining this stuff lately.

is POLUtils just dead forever as a way to extract item data, then? No serious attempts were made to fix the other utilities it provided when they were smashed by SE's cowboy format changes so I have to imagine there are new tools?

LOL yeah really.

However, on a somewhat serious note, Sylvie (UC) actually does get a more meaningful buff and looks to me like an real winner based on the changes to trusts to date.

0.7% more Atk for Fury just from going 50->60. And if comparing to before any of the trust changes, going from 0-60 skill = 4.2% Atk that we didn't have before.

Especially since GEO buffs are multiplicative with flat bonuses from stuff like BRD songs, that can be a pretty meaningful amount of attack. Notably, also a lot better than Qultada's Chaos Roll (maxes out at 31.25% with XI, but on average probably only gets you something in the teens) - but they do stack!

Has anyone tested if Miracle Cheer now gives 7 songs, +7 potency, for 7 minute duration? Lucky 7s is a thing in Final Fantasy series!

Only 98% trolling here, but did you test equipping exactly 7 pieces of gear, singing a song where the game clock contains a 7, 7# or #7% moon phase? There could still be a hidden meaning behind the 7, and we need to make sure we are thorough enough so Mel isn't confused about the 7.
