Final Fantasy XI is still a thing, and the development team at Square Enix are still pushing out monthly updates for the MMORPG, even if they are nowhere as ambitious as its little sister, Final Fantasy XIV. The September 2021 update has gone live, with the key inclusion being Chapter 5 Part 2 of the ongoing The Voracious Resurgence plotline. This update also sees the availability of new campaigns and in-game events for active players to participate in, and perhaps walk away with some rewards from.
Promoted features include:
Voracious Resurgence Update
Learn more about the mysteries of the Olduum Staff, yet beware of the anomalies in the Aht Urhgan seas in the second part of the latest chapter in this story series.
Updated Ambuscade Content
Battle against Cockatrices as well as Poroggos, who make their return in this month’s Ambuscade challenges.
