Square Enix has announced that the next version update for Final Fantasy XI Online is scheduled to take place in early April. Full details are not yet available, but this announcement, or rather, the absence of this announcement, has been a hot discussion topic this week in the Vana'diel community. With the news finally out there, players can now spend the next month speculating on the specifics of the upcoming changes.

Battle related adjustments appear to be in the pipeline along with "large-scale" expansions of the recently implemented Moblin Maze Mongers and Fields of Valor systems. For those into FFXI's fascinating storyline, new nation quests will be available for the Wings of the Goddess expansion, no doubt shedding more light upon the mysteries of the past and the trials of the present.
