Advance Orders Begin for Vision of Abyssea
Advance orders can now be placed for the upcoming Vision of Abyssea update, the first of three battle area add-ons planned for the year in Final Fantasy XI.
Players can already purchase their registration code to avoid the patch day hassle. Vision of Abyssea goes live on Monday, June 21 and will be released in line with the next version update. Like previous add-ons, only one registration code is needed to access the content on all characters under a single PlayOnline ID.
With this announcement, Square Enix has also updated the Vision of Abyssea website with a promo trailer, a partial bestiary, and Empyrean weapons that serve as adventurer rewards. This upcoming add-on introduces the forsaken world of Abyssea just beyond the Cavernous Maws that has long been abandoned by the gods. Savage creatures (such as the Limule behemoth pictured above) dominate this parallel dimension and make it impossible to survive without proper training.
Due to the harsh environment of Abyssea, characters must be level 30 or above to take on quests in this battle add-on. Full-scale battles, meanwhile, demand a minimum level 75 or above due to their sheer challenge and equally impressive equipment prizes.
