[Karinya]

The next version update will bring the release of a new region, new mercenary ranks, and the long-awaited continuation of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan storyline in the form of new missions.

New Missions

The FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team left difficult battles out of the early Treasures of Aht Urhgan missions in order to allow as many players as possible to enjoy the new content. However, the new missions will be aimed for higher level players, reinforcing the words of Naja Salaheem: "Salaheem's Sentinels only takes the best of the best, the crrream of the crop!"

Fierce adversaries and the mysteries of the Aht Urhgan Empire await you!


New Mercenary Ranks

The next version update will introduce two new mercenary ranks and their corresponding rank evaluations.

One of the new rank evaluations will be themed after helping out the less experienced.

A New Region

The new region "Ruins of Alzadaal" will be added to the Aradjiah continent.

At first, only a part of the area "Alzadaal Undersea Ruins" will be accessible, but other areas will gradually be made available by subsequent version updates.

The area looks cool, but... I'm worried. I was able to do the first 8 AU missions with my girlfriend, who is 7 levels below me. I'm afraid with SE's almost nazi-like tendencies when it comes to missions, there will be no hope for me being able to do them with her. If that happens, it could sadly speed up my exit of the game.

I hope when they say it's all meant for high level players, they may realize we don't all belong to some sort of end-game group.

No freaking way! Undersea ruins...could it be...?!




Blitzball!!






Ok, ok I'll admit it, just wanted an excuse to talk about Blitzball.... That and SeeD job are my two greatest wishes in this game, hehehe.

On topic it's gonna be fun discovering this new area, and I hope the missions are fun.

Re: New Aht Urhgan Missions!(06/26/2006)

Blitzball, yes, SeeD job, no.

I mean, what would a SeeD job do? They're just mercenaries. We have those already, thanks.

The missions better be more fun than go here, do that, get currency.

Because that is boring.

Oh no, no, SeeD.

-Ability to draw magic from enemies.
(Not learn, but actually drawing magic and saving spells rather than using MP)

-Ability to Junction with an avatar.
(Different Avatars for different styles, Titan: Defense abilities/traits, Ifrit: Attack abilities/traits etc)

-Ability to use summons (only one per Avatar, like a BP but it would be a job ability)

-Gunblades (Great sword skill, they could use ammo to do extra damage, alchemists heaven )

-Ability to change rols in a party depending on which Avatar are they Junctioned with. (Maybe a high lvl trait to allow Junction with more than one avatar at the same time.)


And I could go on and on lol.

Now, this may sound a lot like what people were saying before BLU was added, but, how, pray tell, would they implement that in game? Sounds bloody hard.

Plus, I'd rather play FFVIII; squall is a damn site cooler than any character in FFXI. Except after disk 2, when he goes soft on us... pfft.

Re: New Aht Urhgan Missions!(06/26/2006)

I wasn't that thrilled with assaults. The rewards were okay, but the assaults itself were lackluster and boring. Most of the time there was no strategy to it. I hope that one new mercenary rank won't depend on the assaults you did.

Hey, in all seriousness, didn't FF10, FF8, and FF10-2 have an undersea ruins of some sort? o_O been too long so I can't remember.

He fell in love and got new friends, we all go soft and mushy when that happens

(Although at the time I was trying to get him to go after Quistis instead )
