Live News from Fan Festival 2007

The opening ceremony has totally floored us, to say the least. Not only did they go through the history of Vana'Diel (which was breathtaking) they also revealed some extra goodies...


FFXI WILL BE WINDOWABLE NEXT TUESDAY!!!

The window will be fully resizable WHILE you play!

You heard it here first!

On top of that, they also briefed on Scholar and Dancer and are allowing people to test out the new jobs. From what they said, Dancer is meant to be a Healer/Enfeebler/Buffer using their TP to form combos which build up points for Finishing Moves in their dances.

Scholar is not just a support job, but a job that is fully capable of hitting the front line using their job abilities. Unlike other jobs, their job abilities don't have a recast timer; they use points. That also allows you to combine job abilities to fully maximize a white or black magic spell. As you level up, you will gain the max of 3 points to use job abilities at your whim. Points generate by 1 every 4 minutes.


Stay tuned for more as we get 'em!
