April Version Update Announced

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.

Read the full story for the official details from Square Enix. Discuss this announcement on the Allakhazam forums.

From PlayOnline.com :

It is our pleasure to announce that the next FINAL FANTASY XI version update has been scheduled for early April. Development is currently in progress for a whole host of items, including the following:
- Thrilling new episodes of nation quests for Wings of the Goddess.
- Battle-related adjustments and additions.
- Large-scale expansion of the Moblin Maze Mongers and Fields of Valor systems.

Details will appear right here on Topics as they become available, so stay tuned!

Square Enix take the idea of that hammer from the hero of Mexico and Latin America "El Chapulin Colorado" and the name of the weapon its: "El Chipote Chillon". Go all to check images in the web XD.

im intrested to see what will take place with the Fields of Valor update. id like to see a better use of all the "Tabs" that i have acrued. maybe some items(maybe r/ex), like how you can spend CP, ISP and AN on weapons/gear. granted the self-buffs you can get now are...nice...the food saves you some gil...but something a bit more tangible would be cool.
HAAAMMMAAAH!!!

I think that pld is gonna play the game where the tarus heads pop out of holes and if he hits them the bell they are holding will chime. If he hits them fast enough he will win a prize!!

Hmm... Not sure if anyone else noticed this but I guess i have a keen eye.


If you look closely at the picture with the paladin and the hammer the elvaan next to him is actually an NPC. and from the looks of it an Adventuring Fellow.

This could make MMM a lil more interesting and i now wonder whether the maze will scale to your NPC's level or yours (if you happen to be higher).

Just thought i'd point out that detail.

I take it you haven't been around much? As far as I can recall...this is how SE always does their initial "update announcements".

I guess this "announcement" was designed to stall any "FFXI is dying, oh noes!!!1!" comments.

Oh wait. They failed anyway.
Excited about the Maze Mongers Expanding

I'm excited about the Maze Monger expanding.
On my server Asura the excitement has died down and it's hard to find parties.
If anyone on Asura wanna make a static for MMM send Minks a /tell.

New Wings missions are good, but I really want them to release Campaign items for the Wings Medal Rank.

Field's of Valor updates are great hoping for more buffs like spikes and en-wpn buffs. More food buffs like adding Sushi etc.
It's not likely, but adding advanced lesson pages to current FoV books that would take place in dungeons of the region outpost. Ex. a Quifm FoV page that takes place in the tower, Or Valkrum FoV in Gustuv Tunnel etc.
Hmm...

Speaking of bans. I was expecting the second set of bannings much sooner. At least before this april update.
I mean the second round in the salvage/sandworm/Nyzul Isle dupe-gate.
