While there's quite a stir around
the new open beta for
Final Fantasy XIV, there are some very big additions coming to
Final Fantasy XI as well.
Scars of Abyssea is due to be released with the
September version update, and lest players forget about it,
Square-Enix has updated the teaser site. Not only does it include previews of the new Empyrean armor sets and a new trailer for the mini-expansion, it also offers us a predicted launch date for the update of September 8th.
Although the chest pieces are not shown and it's a bit early to be sure, it does appear that most of the Empyrean Armor sets are the new Artifact pieces (an upgrade from the previous
Relic Armor). Combined with
the coming upgrades to Trial of the Magians, this armor set may become the norm for quite some time. Players can take a look at all of the coming attractions on
the official teaser site, and the
Final Fantasy XI update should be available early next week.
