Square Enix has announced three new expansions to further expand the Final Fantasy XI (PC, Xbox 360, PS2) game world. All three expansions will be released simultaneously worldwide for all of the game's platforms. Here's a look at them:
  • A Crystalline Prophecy – Ode of Life Bestowing - One day, a giant crystal appeared in the skies above Jeuno, triggering a series of unexplained happenings across the land. Now, adventurers will set forth to unravel the mysteries of this primordial crystal that holds the secret of Vana'diel's past.
  • A Moogle Kupo d'Etat – Evil in Small Doses - It all started with an innocent drop of rainwater and a rickety, ramshackle Mog House desperately in need of repairs. Little did anyone suspect that this was only the beginning of a harrowing nightmare unheard of in the annals of moogle-kind.
  • A Shantotto Ascension – The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born - The eccentric Professor Shantotto returned to Windurst one day after a mysterious, unexplained absence, shocking her colleagues with behavior so outrageous it put her old self to shame! When she goes so far as to proclaim herself ruler of her own empire, adventurers set out to discover the truth behind her alarming shift in personality.
Interestingly enough, Square Enix is going the downloadable route with these expansions, making them available through online purchase only. A Crystalline Prophecy will be the first release, currently set for a Spring 2009 launch. The other two expansions will follow shortly.

» Neat, but....

It would be nice for them to either say how they plan to handle DLC on the PS2 or if they plan to terminate PS2 support altogether.



As it stands, it's just kinda leaving me hanging. ^^;

» maybe..

Maybe they'll put it up on the PSN store or something. Because you know FFXI can be installed on the PS3. That still leaves the PS2 users out though.



Judging from the huge amounts of Microsoft ***** Square Enix has been sucking lately, I'd guess it's going to be for the PC and Xbox only.

The expansions will be downloaded directly through the PlayOnline portal and billed in the same manner as your monthly fee.



This was always supposed to be the purpose of the service, but for whatever reason, they're only putting it into effect now.
