A Moogle Kupo d'Etat is focused on the story of a beat up old mog house, a moogle searching for love, and a curse. What these three things have in common we haven't the faintest, but our questions will be most certainly answered with the release of the add-on pack on July 20th, the same day as the July version update for FFXI.
Of note in the trailer, in addition to lots of moogles, is the appearance of Professor Shantotto, the high standing Windurstian black mage. While this normally wouldn't mean anything special, her appearance in this add-on means that this story might somehow tie in with the next expansion pack, A Shantotto Ascension, which obviously focuses on her as a main character. Will the two packs be strung together? Decide for yourself, as we have the trailer available for your viewing after the break!

Believe me, that video's quite weird even by FFXI standards.

Agreed. It's always weird when this game tries to have a sense of humor...

That is what happens when the complete team move on to the next game and you are stock with programmers that just got out of high school ;D

Do your research before you post. The FFXI team didn't "move on" to FFXIV. Actually, the FFXI team is still developing FFXI (WoTG additions, version updates, etc), while at the same time they are developing FFXIV. Yes, they are pulling double duty.
I for one see nothing wrong with this one being humourous, considering CoP and ToAU were pretty damn grim, and serious. And, on that note, you will not find a story in any mmo that will rival the Chains of Promathia storyline in FFXI. Hell, that storyline will even put to shame most Final Fantasy stories.
