It's a big day for
Final Fantasy XI players the world over, as the much-discussed
June version update has finally gone live. And with that comes a heretofore unprecedented change, as the level cap jumps once again for the first time in years past the old limit of 75. Unfortunately for those who had been hoping to avoid the process of the Limit Break quests, the
patch notes confirm that players will have to undertake a new quest to reach the new cap of 80. Of course, there needs to be something to slow down the rush to all the new content, right?
And there's quite a bit of that going around with this update -- even neglecting the raise in level cap, there are
new Wings of the Goddess quests,
the Walk of Echoes,
newly uncapped zones, and
new options in Moblin Maze Mongers. Not to mention that
Visions of Abyssea goes live with the update, complete with a small update on
the official site about the Empyrean Weapons. So if you haven't started patching your copy of
Final Fantasy XI, now would be the ideal time -- the patch is large, and there's a lot to be done.
