Final Fantasy XI's final new add-on adventure, A Shantotto Ascension, comes out the ninth of November. Should eight more days prove too long a delay, you might just be pleased at what we have to say. A new trailer, you see, has been put on the site, with our dear professor in the center spotlight. And if you lacked apprehension regarding Shantotto, this new trailer may have you pull quite the reversal.
The trailer makes mention of rituals demonic, a threat whose recurrence is horribly chronic -- but lest you assume that the danger's routine, you had best keep a watch on this unfolding scene. For Shantotto denies that she has lost her mind, and thinks herself flawless (or so she's opined). Yet all of the images that we see within leads us to believe something mad will begin -- and while we don't mean to drive players to terror, to not say the truth would be too much an error. For Shantotto seems poised upon something gigantic, and appears to enlarge to proportions titanic! If you've made Final Fantasy XI your home, be prepared to defend all the roots that you've sown. The release is still pending, but you may purchase today -- so go view the trailer, no need to delay!

Those rhymes you made were clever I think; did you make them up yourself, or take them from the link? Call my person very impressed, those rhymes you made were simply the best!

With RogueJedi I must concur, quite impressive, your rhymes were. I'll say, this is something I'd be tempted to try, if only if it weren't for the archaic UI.

The comments on this video are truly the best, talking about this mini ffxi purchase quest. It's a great game, however dated - these little updates leave me simply elated. Commenting on this just goes to show, how much I cannot wait for the next FFO.

All these complaints of an archaic UI. Try with a PC gamepad! I promise you won't cry. Then you'll see how much fun is to be had.

I actually have tried with an X-Box gamepad, but the inability to bind the shoulder triggers made me quite mad. In addition, the combat is simply so slowly paced, and perhaps I would play if that weren't the case. But attacking and waiting for TP to attack, any kind of excitement, this certainly does lack. Despite these flaws which are so apparent to me, I'm still anxiously awaiting FF X-I-V.
