Buy all Final Fantasy XI add-ons and start teleporting

The last of Final Fantasy XI's add-on scenarios is coming out in just about a week, but that's not all that's coming with it. Players who have purchased all three of the mini-expansions (A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat, and A Shantotto Ascension, all of which have small flash sites) will receive a special in-game item following the next version update. The fact that it's a cape may not sound like much, but veteran players would be rather interested in the item's special enchantment: it allows you to teleport.

Players who haven't experienced Final Fantasy XI might not realize just how difficult and frequently dangerous transport through the game can be. Most leveling is done by working your way to a dangerous location, surrounded by monsters that can easily slaughter a lone player. The Nexus Cape reward will transport the user instantly to the party leader's location, thereby enabling easy movement from one spot of relative safety to another. It's only usable once per day, but it's a nice added bonus for those who've grabbed all of the additional scenarios. If you're holding out for the Ultimate Collection due on the tenth, don't despair -- as it contains all three add-ons as well, players with the collection will also receive the Nexus Cape. More details on its mechanics are available on the official announcement.

Kupo, fellow adventurers! The July version update is here, and it has brought many tasty treats with it including the brand new add-on pack, "A Moogle Kupo d'Etat!"

We here at Massively have kept you up with all of the developments in the July version update including the new job abilities for ninja, the new additions coming to the Fields of Valor quest system and the new blue mage spells, and the brand new item augmentations for characters over level 50. Even with all of that coverage, however, we still didn't get everything that's been added in this new update!

More campaign missions, more mazes for Moblin Maze Mongers, new campaign areas, and the brand new addition of the "union" party system to the Campaign lets more players play together to save past Vana'diel from the destruction of the beastmen and win wonderful brand new items!

For all of the changes and additions, check out the patch notes page available on the Final Fantasy XI main site, and enjoy all of the new content!

Final Fantasy XI add-on pack trailer features moogles, monsters, and mayhem

Square-Enix has released the trailer for their next add-on pack for Final Fantasy XI, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat, and it's filled with moogle mayhem.

A Moogle Kupo d'Etat is focused on the story of a beat up old mog house, a moogle searching for love, and a curse. What these three things have in common we haven't the faintest, but our questions will be most certainly answered with the release of the add-on pack on July 20th, the same day as the July version update for FFXI.

Of note in the trailer, in addition to lots of moogles, is the appearance of Professor Shantotto, the high standing Windurstian black mage. While this normally wouldn't mean anything special, her appearance in this add-on means that this story might somehow tie in with the next expansion pack, A Shantotto Ascension, which obviously focuses on her as a main character. Will the two packs be strung together? Decide for yourself, as we have the trailer available for your viewing after the break!
