FFXIPlay Online has just posted the details of the upcoming server maintenance update for Final Fantasy XI (Xbox360, PC), which is scheduled to kick off this Monday, December 18th.

So if you're an avid FFXI player, you might wanna take note of the following details such as the file size and how long it'll take you to download the necessary files - both for those who have "Chains of Promathia" and "Treasures of Aht Urhgan" installed and for those who don't.

However, we wave the disclaimer flag on this one because as you know, download times still vary and depend on the network you're using. Also, the update will take longer if you weren't able to complete previous version updates. So with that, let's get on to the nitty gritty stuff:

For clients with "Chains of Promathia" and "Treasures of Aht Urhgan" installed:

Windows Version - file size: 27.5MB
  • Analog modem (56Kbps) users
  • Volume check: 9 minutes
  • Download / Unzip: 1 hours, 52 minutes plus Installation: 1 minutes, 30 seconds
  • Total: About 2 hours, 2 minutes, 30 seconds

WTF are you talking about "server maintenance update"!? This is a HUGE content update, that in addition to adding this year's christmas event, also added Salvage (plus tons of great gear as rewards, some of the best items in the game right here), Chocobo Hot & Cold, Level 6 Besieged, Seveal MAJOR changes to some of the jobs, and a whole bunch more. It is absolutely absurd that you try to play it down by calling it a "server maintenance update". Whoever wrote that line should be slapped.
