Final Fantasy XI Still Expanding
Most of the Final Fantasy talk these days is focused on Final Fantasy XIII, but Square Enix isn't neglecting the stalwart fans of the series' MMO entry, Final Fantasy XI. Later this year, the game will receive three new add-ons.
The three-part expansion will be available across all FF XI platforms (PC, Xbox 360, and PS2), adding new areas, items, and encounters for high level characters. It will also require the game's previous expansion packs, Rise of the Zilart and Wings of the Goddess. The first new episode, entitled Vision of Abyssea, will hit early this summer and cost $9.99. The remaining pieces, Scars of Abyssea and Heroes of Abyssea, don't currently have solid release dates, though the press release claims all three will "launch throughout 2010."
It's a little tough for me to get excited about new FF XI content with Final Fantasy XIII coming out next week and Final Fantasy XIV slated for later this year. Then again, I don't actively play FF XI anymore, so I may just be out of the loop. For those of you still roaming around Vana'diel, how pumped up are you about the upcoming expansions?
