New Version Update Blankets Vana'diel!
The December version update for Final Fantasy XI has arrived! A veritable cornucopia of new content has been implemented for both the hardened warrior and the newest of players alike. The new Trust magic has been introduced, letting you call forth alter-egos of Vana'diel's most memorable of characters to battle alongside. More interested in battling as a feathered fiend? Well, the bird is the word when it comes to Monstrosity now, as that family and all the major notorious monsters associated have been added! For those wanting to take to battling familiar old faces, harder versions of the Ark Angels and Divine Might battles have also been implemented.
A host of other changes have also been added, such as the ability to teleport between home point crystals for a nominal fee, a significant increase to player and pet movement speed, further adjustments to Artifact armor, and much more!
For the full details of this update, be sure to check below the break, and while you're at it, let us know what you think of these changes over on the ZAM forums!
