On July 24th, it looks like we will be getting our much anticipated update. Click here for the details.



Read on for a complete list of the expected updates...

• Empire's Most Wanted, link

  "Gar Brothers" from the Trolls, "Lamia 19" from the Undead Swarm, and the very cool "Percipient Zoraal Ja" with his Colibiri from the Mamool Ja forces. Not sure who these guys are, but my bet is they are some of the new nasties we may see in Besieged.

• Besieged – Additions and Adjustments, link
  

  New Besieged NMs and invading Beastman bases. Way cool stuff for those of us into Besieged.

• Quests for Blue Mages, Corsairs, and Puppetmasters!, link
  

  The COR/BLU/PUP AF Armor will soon be here, and they wont use coffers?! Blasphemy! Oh... and the COR/BLU/PUP Maat fights will be ready.

• Chocobo Digging and Gardening, link
  

  There's been rumors for a long time now that Chocobo Digging was something you could level up. Whether you used to be able to do it or not, you certainly will be able to after this update. Plus, adjustments and additions to the gardening system to make chocobo feed.

• Chocobo Raising, link
  

  One of the most hotly anticipated additions to the FFXI world, and something that we all have questions about. How will it work out? Will we have an item to "call" them (like the NPC)? Will it have a "bond" that needs to be strengthened in order to make them more useful? How will breeding work out? Do Chocobos dream of Chicken-Sheep?

• Adjustments to Assault, link
  

  New Assault Missions, possibly new ranks, and a slew of adjustments for point distribution. Fun stuff. Study our guide and get ready for the next generation of Assaults!

• Sunbreeze Festival
  

  Summerfest 2004 is legendary in this Clan, as it is the one that most people remember fondly. Can this new Sunbreeze Festival live up to the great 2004 event? Well, we will see.

Oh... an how are we doing on the original outline posted at the FFXI Fanfest? Well, you can check it out below:






Here's some updates we know wont make it into this update:

• Chocobo Raising, link

  One of the most hotly anticipated additions to the FFXI world, and something that we all have questions about. How will it work out? Will we have an item to "call" them (like the NPC)? Will it have a "bond" that needs to be strengthened in order to make them more useful? How will breeding work out? Do Chocobos dream of Chicken-Sheep?

• New Aht Urhgan Missions!, link
  

  What does Raillefal's letter mean for Vana'Diel? Who exactly is this mysterious Yagudo, and what role does he play in the story of the Empire? Don't know what I'm talking about? BAH, FOOL! Go do your ToAU Missions!
