  • New FFXI Expansion

    Would this go in events since it was shown at the Square-enix party?

    God-Soldier of Altana. Crusaders of Altana. Altana's Crusaders

      Babelfish obviously not doing anybody any favors here. Interesting nonetheless.

      We'll have to wait on a better translation.

        That page doesn't say much.
        It just says, they have a talk session and a cosplay.... and everyone were surprised when SE accounced the new expansion name. Althana's Godly Soldier.

        That's all.

        OK well, I'm not sure how to translate those 2 kanji. Althana's XX, first one is god, second one is soldier. Divine soldier? Holy Knight? We'll see...

          Knowing the naming structure of FFXI expansions, the title will probably translate to "Crusaders of Altana" or "Holy Knights of Altana"

          Although that's interesting, sounds like a new focus... usually the expansion titles focus on the bad guys... Altana's knights gone bad?

            I won't believe this until I see an official SE announcement on POL; for all we know, that pic could be a good photoshop job.

              itmedia's article on it, and it says both in the title and the first paragraph the name of the new expansion.

              The expansion has been reported from TWO sources, one of which is reputable iirc (itmedia), and the other is a blog with other pictures covering the event. Something tells me this is the expansion.

                Famitsu is also reporting that this is the next FFXI expansion. If they are saying it, it must be true.

                  Altana no seinto? That would sound too Saint Seiya huh?


                  I just hope it doesn't require being on The Last Verse or I'll mpk myself since I still havent been able to finish CoP or Zilart (or Aht Urgan to the current mission for that matter).

                    It is real. 5 minutes ago I was talking to a friend who is now in Japan as Gamespot's reporter. The FFXI expansion announcement will be held in 30 minutes from now, as I'm typing.

                        (Most parts of) each expansion seems to be stand-alone, so I guess that would not be the case.

                        How usually far apart between announcement and release are anyway?

                          usually about 6-7 months.

                          CoP was annouced in March and released in September. ToAU was revealed in an October and released in April.

                            Some pics. Redesigned maps? Looks like it may not even take place in a whole new continent but I haven't read it yet.

                              Maybe those are locations from the past? And we will travel in time!? :O
                              When I heard the name I thought it would be rather weird to add a new continent when it's about Altana, but then... Crusaders. Crusades could go all over the world, teaching the "religion" so maybe...
