The 'Real' Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again (12/09/2025)

In celebration of the second installment of Echoes of Vana'diel (San d'Oria: The Second Walk) being added to FINAL FANTASY XIV as part of Patch 7.3, FFXI is also bringing back three previous events.

This time, we have made some revisions to the event "Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again" and renamed it "The 'Real' Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again."

As part of this event, equipment based on Kam'lanaut's beloved weapon and shield, as well as the "sheet of Jeuno tunes" key item will be available as spoils for completing the ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower battlefield!





Furthermore, as an added bonus, the Curator Moogle will have some Kam'lanaut items making their return.



======
Campaign Period(*):
Friday, 19 September, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. (GMT) / 9:00 a.m. (BST) to Wednesday, 8 October, at 2:59 p.m. / 3:59 p.m.
======

* Since you'll need to increase your level and complete missions in order to take on ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower, we're offering it on three separate occasions (one time each in both October and November) so that as many adventurers as possible can enjoy the content.

Please note that there will be no changes to the spoils you can earn from the battlefield on these three occasions.
If it's hard for you to complete the mission during September, we hope you'll be able to take advantage of one of the other opportunities instead.

★Return to Delkfutt's Tower can be attempted by up to six players. Whether you're working together with your fellow linkshell members or taking advantage of this unique opportunity to team up with other adventurers, we hope that everyone is able to enjoy the content that we have prepared. To that end, we also plan to add new returning items to each iteration of the event that can be traded for with the Curator Moogle.

Play Seasonal Events to Get Items Such as a Crystal Board! (12/09/2025)

There have been countless items added to the game over the years, including some that were available via limited-time events that are not scheduled to return or otherwise only featured limited opportunities to acquire them.

Therefore, we have decided to introduce this special opportunity on a trial basis to either make these items available again or provide an easier, limited-time method to obtain them. As part of this concept, we will be holding a campaign from this month that makes it easier for you to challenge the boss monsters found in Dynamis - Buburimu, Dynamis - Valkurm, and Dynamis - Qufim.

■ Returning items
Crystal Board / Marvelous Cheer



■ Items used to weaken the Dynamis - Buburimu boss monster
Shadescale Talon / Cagebeast Blood / Shadescale Heart / Shadescale Femur / Shadescale Skull

Campaign Period (*):

Update Regarding Creating Alt Characters on the Asura World (29/08/2025)

Greetings, everyone. FINAL FANTASY XI Producer and Director Yoji Fujito here. First off, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support of FFXI!

As previously mentioned on Tuesday, July 22, we suspended new adventurers from joining the Asura World due to server congestion from its increased player population. We understand that this is inconvenient for those of you that wish to reside in and explore the Asura World.

Therefore, this notification is to inform you about our plans for those players who already have a character on the Asura World and are unable to create additional alt characters there.

=====
■ Implementation timing
The implementation of this measure will require changes to the server settings and various other adjustments, so we plan to introduce it during the September version update's maintenance period.

■ Implementation details and background
Essentially, we plan to increase the limit on the number of alt characters that can be created.

This is because even though we anticipated that players on the Asura World would create more alt characters once we made our announcement, the available character slots filled up much quicker than we expected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
=====

We plan to announce the exact timing for the September version update as well as the implementation of this measure at a later date. In addition, we are continuing to evaluate ways to help equalize the player population between Worlds, and will be sure to let you know as soon as anything has been officially decided.

I hope that you continue to enjoy the world of FFXI!
