Final Fantasy XI update will end Wings of the Goddess
May 21st, 2010 by Colin Temple
The June update to Final Fantasy XI will include the end of the Wings of the Goddess storylines, which have been gradually rolled out since the expansion’s release in late 2007.
The expansion, which offers three versions of its storyline, one for each of the nations of Bastok, San d’Oria and Windurst, will finally bring these stories to their epic conclusions. The Wings of the Goddess storyline opened up a link to the past of the game’s world of Vana’diel, allowing players to travel through time and experience an earlier, war-torn version of the FFXI world.
The next version update also introduces a level cap increase to Final Fantasy XI, as Square Enix begins the rise from the long-standing level 75 cap to a level 99 cap.
Final Fantasy XI is itself now in its eighth year of life since its first Japanese launch. The game also has three new “Abyssea” add-on scenarios going live in the near future, beginning with Vision of Abyssea, which will go on sale for $10 US alongside June’s version update.
A specific date for the update has not yet been announced, but Square Enix is targeting mid-June.
