"The allure just isn't there anymore for the Final Fantasy titles and we have to ask why. Loyal fans try to create hype, but the games are just not combining new and old expectations. Maybe it's because every game, we have to warm up to new characters and worlds. Square sets itself up for hit and miss titles with no character regularity. The only motif running through the series I can identify is a blond guy and clueless protagonists. Most of the recent Final Fantasy games (dare I say Square ..."

Square-Enix's masterful MMO gets a new version as it is announced that Final Fantasy XI 2008 Edition will be releasing in Europe on 23rd May 2008. Included in this pack contains all four expansion packs (Rise of Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan & Wings of the Goddess). Take a look at the boxscans for the game below.

"The official FFXI site has up notes on the rewards you can garner for participating in the event this year - the very beautiful eggs pictured above with a very sleepy Moogle. How to actually participate in the Eggstravaganza event isn't on the site, but the event hasn't changed overmuch in the many years it's been running.

Anyways, Nottingham Trent University has done a research study which reveals ..."

"At the Square Enix party currently ongoing over in Japan, a couple more announcements had to wait until the doors opened. One of these announcements is the fourth expansion for Final Fantasy XI. Wings of the Goddess promises to tell a tale of the past, taking the current citizens of Vana'diel to a new time for new adventures.

While there are not a lot of details just yet, Square Enix's PlayOnline site has provided a theatrical video. There are scenes of a world rebuilt, the ruins restored..."
