A new addition to Final Fantasy XI is coming this summer, and it's set to be a pretty big deal for players of Square's MMO. The Legendary Weapons of Balrahn will be an entirely new set of powerful items, each geared specifically to one of the game's many jobs. We first heard about these weapons from Fusionx, who theorizes that they'll be included in the version update this June. He's hopeful that these high end weapons will be easier to obtain that the current relics which, as he puts it, "require 120 million gil or more to completely upgrade."

The handsome axe above is name simply Conqueror and is intended for the Warrior job; each of the class weapons is highlighted in an article on the official FFXI site. Several classes (Dancer, Thief, Bard) are getting daggers. The Dark Knight is getting a huge scythe, the White Mage an impressive looking club, the Black Mage an impressive staff, and the Beastmaster a fantastic looking hand axe called the Aymur. Each of these implements is supposed to come with an all new weapon skill - a big changeup for the game, and some great high end content to sate the longtime players of this venerable title.

Thanks, Fusionx!
