Happy New Year, FINAL FANTASY XI players!
Director Fujito here. Matsui-san wants to prepare for the eventual "generation shift," so this year I will be giving our customary New Year's greetings.
May 16, 2022, marked the momentous 20th Vana'versary of FINAL FANTASY XI.
This year we implemented Sortie, where you can reforge Empyrean equipment; master levels to further grow player power; and continued implementing out latest storyline, The Voracious Resurgence. I feel that we really rung in FINAL FANTASY X's 21st year in style with a variety of content to enjoy.
We also celebrated our 20th anniversary years outside of the game as well.
The WE ARE VANA'DIEL promotional site contains stories and messages from people who helped grow the game from its inception and also features a wide variety of pictures, illustrations, and other visual content that marks various moments in the game's life—a true repository of historical materials on FINAL FANTASY XI.
We also held crossover promotions with other IPs—something which I personally enjoyed as a fellow adventurer. I'm sure that many people returned to Vana'diel just to experience these amazing collaborative events. More recently, we announced new 20thth Vana'versary merchandise this past November.
These various initiatives would never have come to pass were it not for the love and hard work of those involved in the various projects, and I remember many of them asking, "What can we do to give back to Vana'diel for all that it's given us?"
FINAL FANTASY XI is truly blessed to have you all, and I?d like to take this opportunity to convey my gratitude towards all of our adventurers.
Now that a new year is upon us, I'd like to talk a little bit about our future plans.
We're finally approaching the conclusion of The Voracious Resurgence. Many of Vana'diel?s secrets are slowly coming to light, and our allies are starting to get to the bottom of things. I hope you enjoy the story's thrilling conclusion.
In terms of battle content, Prime weapons will undergo further reforging, and we're preparing a new Master Trial to spotlight the power that these weapons bring. We're also looking to adjust our chat filter systems and provide a variety of other updates as well. We'll have some more to share on these and other tasks when the time comes.
The Development and Operations teams are looking to make 2023 one to remember, and we pledge to make Vana'diel a more fun and comfortable place to adventure than ever before. We hope you continue to walk with us on this wonderful journey.
