There has been a new announcement for the increased Level Cap.

SE has responded with a few questions about the new increase. You can find the article here! It does look like they are approaching the question of how subjobs will be updated by blanacing out the skill usage for certain jobs.

The FFXi expansion, Visions of Abyssea, website has been updated with new information!

Today, Final Fantasy XI developers confirmed on the American site that the next content update for FFXI would usher in a few exciting changes to the Chains of Promathia expansion zones.

The level cap in these areas will be lifted, and the mobs and gear drops will be adjusted to pose a challenge to high-level players. The same will also happen to the battlefield missions, meaning that level 75 players who've missed out on this lowbie content will have a chance to take it for a much more challenging spin!

After teasing a new content update for several weeks, PlayOnline has finally shed some light on the trifecta of new battle zones for Final Fantasy XI. The three $9.99 addons will be released seperately, with the first - Vision of Abyssea - becoming available in early June.

This first pack will be designed for players level 30 and up, and cost $9.99. The battles themselves, however, are geared towards endgame characters at level 75. PlayOnline has put these scant piece of information up on the new site. Other than that, details are still scarce - we'll let you know as soon as more becomes available!

A release date is, as of yet, not official but word from the source is, it is coming...
