Final Fantasy XI has withstood the test of time; people still play it after 7 years, even with tons of other MMOs dying to World of Warcraft! The first of 3 new expansions, A Crystalline Prophecy – Ode of Life Blessing will be available later this month.
The plot is officially described as; “One day, a giant crystal appeared in the skies above Jeuno, triggering a series of unexplained happenings across the land. Now, adventurers will set forth to unravel the mysteries of this primordial crystal that holds the secret of Vana’diel’s past.”
A Crystalline Prophecy will launch March 23rd for $9.99, and will be available in FFXI’s launcher.
