VanaFest 2012: Celebrating A Decade Of FFXI

I'm sure that guy is just annoyed because he's been telling people that FFXI is being shut down for 5 years straight.

Chip Voyager :3

Please let me buy it square, I'm throwing fistfuls of cash at the screen with reckless abandon and nothing is happening.

So what other battle figures do you think we'll get to fight in the new battlefield?


I'm betting on Ayame being one.

Lion, Prishe, Aphmau and Lilisette, and the 5th is whoever the heroine is from the coming expansion

It could also be Mumor

Lillisette would totally beat our ***. lol.

You saw her in that one CS! She's quick, nible, and half hume and half elvaan! She'll kill us all! Both their strengths! None of their weaknesses!

When will they start showing the cool new stuff on the NA feed?

I (very recently) have been doing WoTG, and the fights that I could solo as WHM, I have been. And I can say, Lilisette is a boss, and she'd mess all of us up.

what is the 8bit album called?

For those of you who missed yesterday:

Special Talk Session: Day 1
Director Mizuki Ito, Associate Director Yoji Fujito, and planners Yoshitsugu Saito and Masaru Taniguchi were on hand to discuss the new expansion currently under development, as well as future planned job adjustments during two special talk sessions.
* All content announced is still under development and subject to change.

A new expansion, entitled Seekers of Adoulin, was revealed to be under development!


Westward Ho, Adventurers!
The action will unfold on Ulbuka, an enigmatic continent located far to the west of the Middle Lands.
- To protect each other's interests and defend against the evil forces that assault them, the mainland and its surrounding islands have banded together to form the Sacred City of Adoulin Alliance.


Reclaim the Land!
The majority of Ulbuka's lands consist of vast wilderness, which ambitious adventurers from around the world have come to explore.
New light shines on the continent's history with each tree felled, each outpost built, and each secret spot uncovered. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for danger however, for who knows when you may accidentally stumble upon a monster's lair! With so many treasures veiled behind exotic landscapes, harrowing skirmishes waiting around every corner, and quests begging to be undertaken, it's not just Ulbuka that will be evolving, but those who explore it as well!


Guilds, Guilds, Guilds!
A number of adventurers' guilds thrive in Adoulin, lending support to players in their quest to settle the land and expand their influence.

New Job: Geomancer!
Harnessing the elemental energies that course through Vana'diel's veins in ways that no sorcerer can, geomancers both aid their comrades-in-arms and teach their foes how deadly the forces of nature can be.


- By creating extensive fields of beneficial energy around themselves for their allies to enter, they support the whole party.
- The ability to place luopans (temporary name) where their brethren stand helps impart various beneficial effects upon them.
- Their job trait Polarity (temporary name) allows geomancers to receive different bonuses to their elemental magic spells depending on the direction they face when casting.
- Geomancers employ a new style of elemental magic that affects areas surrounding their comrades and is greatly enhanced by Polarity.


In case you were unable to attend VanaFest, you can view the Seekers of Adoulin trailer on the official expansion site.

Does that armor have an uncomfortably large number of straps or is that just me? It also looks like fur or feathers or something on his cloak.

Guess that's -ra magic

Holy ***the ronfaure theme on that website.

Oh god want.

July 13th release :(

Did he just shove the other guy? lol

is the contant background music on my end or is it part of the stream..?

I want to know what they're saying!

The NA stream is running side by side.

Doesn't the NA stream only start after each segment of the JP stream? Because right now I'm getting nothing on the video of the NA live stream.

I knew that Corsair elvaan was a woman.

I have them both up side by side on the second.... Third computer.

aha TY :)

Installing and updating 100+ ffxi's... that could be a type of hell I believe.

I remember my mind being blown back when I realised Nashmeira, Aphmau - Nashmau xD

Is there a stream though anything other than Youtube? Youtube fails, keeps cutting out.

WHM face pull wtf

Someone tell the WHM to RR.

Edit: Finally.

Wow, they have the VW glow bodies also.

Lilisette will be a pain to fight... x.x
