Live Presentation Event: The Future of Final Fantasy XI (03/19/2015)

[Outlaw]

I'm really worried about what they are going to say tonight. I guess I'm going to stay up and watch it cause there is no way I could sleep while wondering about it.

Putting my chips in.

Starting off talking about Vagary.

Some more hard mode battlefields.

Followed by content that will be something totally new and cool building off an old mechanic (kinda like magian trials and how new and fun they were)
I am expecting this since a LOT of the new content has been rehashed old stuff, which makes me think they were using it to tide us over while they worked out whatever this cool new thing is.

And then, Masters of the Mask! next expansion, 120~129 content, maybe even 120~139 content!

Edit: Oh also an update on the HUD overhaul they were talking about last year. Come on new macros!

How long till this shit goes down?

Ppl twittering their staff badges:

I have no idea what these people are talking about but here's the translations of the replies to the above link.

Apparently JP repairs of PS2s will end March 31 according to Reddit, so discontinuation of PS2 support seems likely?

Pretty much this. They will start off showing us Vagary gameplay and some rewards. A possible peek at one of the empy reforge stats, quality of life adjustments and then expansion info.

I think its a toss up though, between whether Masters of the Masks is the Mithra islands (oh god please) or far east (also okay with this though)

Im leaning towards Mithra islands, Masters of the Masks definitely fits.

[Draylo]

I think so too (unfortunately) because it was referenced in Adoulins storyline. How long until this starts again?

[Kaisha]

Live stream's accessible now, has the countdown currently to when it goes up.

[Ramzii]

1hr 20

Do you recall which Mission the Southern Continent was referenced? I KIND of recall something but nothing specific. I do remember the Exorcists being off on an expedition and had just returned when you get to that part of the storyline. Was that it or am I thinking of something else?

[Spira]

countdown timer.. tick tock

[Tarage]

We're using BG chat to talk about this right?

The one I recall was when you meet Saa'kaja(sp) and he tells you what happened to the world tree in that area.

that's in the northern continent, not southern

[Kyte]

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, the other world tree was in the far north.

[Vathris]

I am very excited/scared/hyped, only 1 hour left

[Yeager]

Yeah, that's Rhazowa, the Northern Continent. There IS something referenced in one of the missions though, when Ingrid returns from a mission elsewhere, but I don't recall specifics on it. That's where I THINK the Southern Continent was referenced, but again, I'm not 100% on that, as it's been a while since I've done that mission.

[Draylo]

Oops, that makes sense then.

[dasva]

If I remember my assault promotions correctly one of the characters there Yasmeel talked about or was talked about how she was part of some assassin group that wore masks? And that they were from the Island of Tsahya which is in the south but I don't think was confirmed as being part of the Olzhirya continent that Wotg revealed was the mithra homeland. iirc it was supposed to be it's own nation though ruled by Aht urghan which was a large part of that whole was Yasmeel there to attack the empire from within for her homeland or did she really want to be a mercenary subplot. Further there is even a Tsahyan Mask item so even more Tsahyan maskiness!
