It's been a while, but we're finally seeing more information trickling out about the upcoming
Final Fantasy XI add-on pack
Visions of Abyssea, with the launch of the official teaser site. The first of three mini-expansions designed to help players hit the promised new level cap, the new page reveals that it's scheduled to go live with the June version update that hosts the first of three increases leading to 99. It also announces that there are plans for pre-purchases starting in early June, and gives a few more hints as to what the mysterious new zones will actually be.
According to the backstory on the official site, players will apparently travel from Vana'diel to Abyssea via new
Cavernous Maws, which leads to obvious suggestions that it's tied into the overarching and soon-concluding plot of
Wings of the Goddess. There are also two screenshots of what may be assumed to be Abyssea itself -- or more accurately, a version of
La Theine Plateau with a red sky. It would appear that the "mirror world" concept is close to the add-on indeed, but
Final Fantasy XI players will have to wait a little longer to be totally sure.
