VanaFest2010 - The Analysis & News Wrap-up: ZAM/Elmer The Pointy

Opinions of every variety have been flying across the forums after players were hit by the numerous bombshells dropped at VanaFest this year. Whatever side you may be on, you cannot dispute that the face of Vana'diel will be forever changed. Unexplored areas, 24 more levels to surmount, fresh-looking Notorious Monsters, enhanced jobs, weapons infused with untold power... the announcements just seemed to keep on coming!

For a persistent online world 8 years running, it looks like Final Fantasy XI is finding brand new life. The "death" of FFXI has always been the topic that would never die. If anything, VanaFest should put that fear to rest. With the wealth of new content planned for this year alone, adventurers will have no trouble filling their online hours with new quests and goals.

Let's jump in a take a look at what the developers brought to the table in Tokyo! In this final wrap-up, I'll take you through the announcements and information that rocked the world of Vana'diel.

For a moment, I thought the last 2 pic are BSTs new upgraded jugpets... ; ;

They might be from the site

"During the following discussion, it was also hinted that the massive crab monster could become a summonable pet for Beastmasters. However, it would have to spawn from a HQ2 or HQ3 version of a recipe. Still, no solid details have been decided upon as of yet."

And yes also in there for those naysayers the old areas aren't capped. They got to 76 in mire. And they mentioned not adjusting old nms. So solo kirin here I come!!!

Yeah but there's also the chance that they might level cap some of the current end game zones. We'll just have to wait and see!
