    FINAL FANTASY XI

    Hushed whispers tell of new Cavernous Maws that serve as gateways to a heretofore uncharted frontier.

    Those who dare to venture through the vast bleakness beyond return with harrowing tales of an unforgiving world long forsaken by the gods - a world called Abyssea, whose sanguine sky is an ever-present portent of looming destruction. There, the savage baying of creatures at once surreal and dreadful strikes a chilling counterpoint to the anguished wailing of the land as it crumbles and falls to chasmic depths.

    Far above the horizon, the moon is aglow in serene radiance, a great jewel of hope shining against a bloody veil of death...

      Interesting....

      Must have WotG but not ToAU/CoP (which makes sense, I suppose).

      At least they're not releasing it as an outright expansion like CoP/ToAU/WotG, which is what I feared the most. I don't mind the little micro-expansions personally.

        New Mobs means it's already an improvement over the last add-ons, though they'll most likely be simple pop NMs if those are the same old zones we use now.

          I love how SE still couldn't be assed to tell us about the objectives or any detail about how Abyssea actual works. There is probably about five weeks until it's released, but still, a little info would be nice. At the moment all I see is new monsters in a reused zone with a recolored sky. For $10 they could have at least made a zone for us!

              THAT'S NO MOON!

              I wish I was at home so I could post a picture of the Gurren Lagann moon that looked like a jack-o-lantern lol.

                    Probably because they're using the same instancing stuff that made MMM require WoTG.

                      Last I'd heard, Abyssia was linked to the Walk of Echos, which if true means a lot of people are about to get boned hard on AF3


                      As for myself, a couple of my friends and I are all done the missions and can't wait to jump in (and maybe make some early gil off this)

                        Then you heard wrong

                        p.s. Those SS are taken in an alternate version of La Theine.

                        Abyssea and WoE are going to be two different events at this point

                          Yeah I guess they are separate, thought it was either on the official site or from the vanafest videos but no.


                          So, I'm guessing then that the Maws will show up in the areas that we can't currently go to in the past, hence why we saw La Theine and Konschtat in the screens. Was kinda hoping for all-new areas though, or at least the ...
