Here we go again.


It is our pleasure to announce that the next edition of VanaFest, Japan's premier Final Fantasy XI fan event, will be held on Sunday, February 28th 2010 in Tokyo!

Attendees can expect this year's event to be a veritable goldmine of mind-blowing news. Development and operation team members will engage in a talk session and divulge juicy pieces of information such as new content scheduled for upcoming version updates, planned job improvements, and other exciting milestones for the year 2010. The evolution of Final Fantasy XI is far from over, folks!


But save your awestruck faces for the special announcement...and be sure to hang on to your seats when it comes!

Even those unable to attend need not be disheartened! All the latest news and developments announced at the festival will be delivered to you hot off the press, so stay tuned!


There it is, SE's official blurb. I see they skipped a year.

Here we go again....

"How do you kill AV for real?" x 900000000

"More cutesy items like bells and chocobo hats {Can I have it?}"

"More avatars! More avatars!"

OK, so we know the last one is coming down the pike, so it's a matter of "what?", or rather "who?" I don't even have SMN opened, let alone leveled so I could care less, much like the AV thing.

No new zones/mobs, so most likely no more new BLU spells for a while. Well, that is, unless you count "Walk of Echoes" but no one is certain how that will be implemented outside of cutscenes. I think that's the place where you see Cait Sith and Atomos, but I've barely touched anything "Wings" related outside of Campaign.

We shall see what the future holds on the final day of February!
