Valentione’s Day Screenshot Contest!

Love is beginning to fill the air in Vana'diel with the arrival of Valentione's Day. To add to the festivities the Community Team is going to hold a contest to get adventurers into the celebratory spirit! All you need to do is log in to FINAL FANTASY XI and take your best Valentione's Day-related screenshot.

The Community Team will be selecting ten screenshots and awarding those lucky players with an in-game Love Chocolate signed by whichever member of the Community Team you want. Ever wanted to show off your love for Camate with a heart chocolate in your bazaar? Wanted to brag that Rukkirii herself baked you a sweet morsel of affection? Don't get us started on Bayohne!

How creative you get is up to you, so let your imagination run wild! Fire up those Soultrappers, grab a stack of soul plates, and snap some shots! (Note: Soultrappers are not actually what you need to use to take screenshots.)

Hitch a ride on Cupid's arrow over to the forums to check out the official contest details.

Bickering Beauties

The Doll Festival draws near once again, and the MHMU has made certain that when it comes to this fancy festival favored by gleeful girls the realm over, no expense will be spared, kupo!

After all, what connoisseur of culture wouldn't jump at the chance to dramatically ascend a doll dais, skylark before a scenic screen, or bask in the becalming beams of a bonbori lantern's light with her companions?

This year in Windurst, however, virulence and vainglory threaten to violate the very principles upon which this festival was founded. Read on for a candid chronicle of confrontation between some bold and boisterous beauties, kupo!

New Version Update Forthcoming!

We're pleased to announce that the next FINAL FANTASY XI version update is on track for a Tuesday, February 14th release!

It won't be long before you can delve deep into the Nyzul Isle Uncharted Regions—an expansion of the existing Assault mission offering challenges and rewards befitting level 99 characters—and undertake new Magian trials to upgrade your treasured Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons to new heights of power. Adjustments for dragoons, corsairs, and other jobs, revisions to Voidwatch and the Walk of Echoes, and a host of other content previewed on the test server will also see its long-awaited official release.

Additional details will be posted to the Updates section of the official forums as they become available, so stay tuned!

Direct Credit Card Payments Now Accepted!

After receiving plenty of helpful feedback from our customers, we have worked these past few months to implement new payment options for billing. First we introduced additional payment methods for purchasing Crysta, then user-specified amounts of Crysta, and now we're pleased to announce that customers can directly enter credit and debit card information to handle subscription payments. To access the new payment options, simply log into the Square Enix Account Management System!

We hope these new features help to make the FINAL FANTASY XI experience as fun and rewarding as possible.
