    April Fools? Is that today? (04/01/2009)


    Originally announced in November, the three expansions, entitled “A Crystalline Prophecy – Ode of Life Bestowing™”, “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat – Evil in Small Doses™” and “A Shantotto Ascension – The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born™”, each of which are led by Masato Kato, who created the stories and scenarios for FINAL FANTASY XI and its first expansion pack, Rise of the Zilart®, were slated for independent releases starting in Spring 2009, with subsequent releases to follow in the months thereafter. We are pleased to announce that the later two scenarios are ahead of schedule and will be available for download shortly after the April version update!

    Available exclusively for online purchase through the PlayOnline® Viewer, these next two expansions will be made available simultaneously for all FINAL FANTASY XI platforms worldwide. Originally priced at $9.99 per expansion scenario, because of the increase depth of play that is added with all three scenarios - including a new tanking job, new Mithran continent and three new avatars - the price of each sceniario has been adjusted to $24.99 per scenario, but will be available as a package for only $69.99. Players who pre-ordered "A Crystalline Prophecy – Ode of Life Bestowing™" for $9.99 will be billed an additional $15.00 and will be entitled to the package discount, which will be available for purchase through the PlayOnline® Viewer shortly.

    (*The official site of the add-on scenarios will be updated in the coming days with the latest information on the new pricing and content.)


    Judge
    These regal combatants are masters not only of themselves, but of others. A judge is able to not only decree certain enemy abilities or actions to be forbidden for the duration of combat, but also to assist members of his own party by granting privileges they otherwise would be unable to use. Their superior knowledge allows the judge to detect weaknesses in their enemies, allowing adventurers to maximize their combat skills in battle.


    The Olzhirya Continent
    Located far to the south of Mindartia, Olzhirya is home to the Mithra and the great Gha Naboh Matriarchate nation-state. The continent appears a peaceful one, based primarily on fishing and agriculture. Unrest is brewing, however, between the Mithra and the inhabitants of Tsahya, an island nation, just off the eastern shore of Olzhirya...


    Atomos, Alexander, and Odin... oh my
    Summoners have for a long time suspected that pacts could be formed with Atomos, Alexander, and Odin in order to summon their spirits in order to assist in battles. But the pacts had been lost to time and the ravages of the Crystal War. With new technologies allowing summoners to travel back in time, these pacts have now been discovered. Obtaining such pacts is not for the feint of heart, but the rewards will be worthwhile for those strong enough to succeed.

    Fixed.

    And it would have been an even easier troll to go with Viking.

    how about the run on sentence for the first sentence? or the suggestion of a 150% increase in price without an escape caveat. or suggesting that SE is ahead of schedule on anything while they've spent years with no end of things broken that are dismissed with a wave of a hand.

    Makes ya wonder though when they finally will deliver the Mithran continent in an expansion, as thats one of the remaining areas on the Vanadiel map that hasn't been introduced yet. Maybe that part is true and it will be in one of the scenarios in like 12 months when they finish the 3rd scenario behind schedule.

    You fall for FFXIclopedia's april fools joke?

    Really?

    EDIT: Considering we already got a news update, it really makes it alarming that you were hesitant to call this an april fools.

    I really, really hate April first. I wonder how many more of these "funny" jokes will be forced upon us today.
