Square Enix Music Online reports: At SEMO, we can exclusively reveal that Square Enix has voted to disband their music team. The company made the decision at the end of 2009 for budget reasons. Their decision lies behind a number of well-publicised departures from the company in recent months. Among those that are affected are the six composers at the team, namely: Masashi Hamauzu (Final Fantasy XIII, Dirge of Cerberus, SaGa Frontier II) Junya Nakano (Final Fantasy X, Threads of Fate, Musashi: Samurai Legend) Tsuyoshi Sekito (The Last Remnant, Dawn of Mana, Founder of The Black Mages) Naoshi Mizuta (Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy Gaiden, Founder of The Star Onions) Kumi Tanioka (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Chocobo Series, Code Age Commanders) Takeharu Ishimoto (The World Ends With You, Dissidia, Compilation of Final Fantasy VII)
Square Enix knows exactly what the players of its flagship MMO, Final Fantasy XI, want: New things to kill, which drop new things to wear. The company will fulfill these primal urges with three Battle Area Add-On Scenarios which will be released throughout the year. The first expansion, Vision of Abyssea, will go live during the summer, with two others, Scars of Abyssea and Heroes of Abyssea following soon after. Each new area can be purchased for $9.99 through the PlayOnline Viewer.
A detailed report of the shocking announcements unveiled at this year's VanaFest in Tokyo, Japan. For Final Fantasy XI, a level cap increase to 99, new job abilities, the merging of servers, three mini expansions and additional weapon customization options. For Final Fantasy XIV, an announced beta start date of March 11 and instant access for those in attendance at VanaFest.
Been jonesing for a MMO fix? Tired of playing the general fantasy settings of World of Warcraft or Warhammer Online? Why not try something a little different? Sure, Final Fantasy XI is the epitome of grind but it can be fun once you get past it (or if your into that sort of thing).
Massively writes: In keeping with the extant nature of Final Fantasy XI's crafting, synergy doesn't promise to be simple. A number of reagents and elemental energies are dumped into the pictured synergy furnace, at which point the entire part must begin carefully modulating and controlling the flow of elements therein. Crystals can be used to help alter the elemental composition, but will not be absolutely necessary from the sound of things. A failed synthesis can cause the whole mess to blow up in your face -- literally -- while success yields both slotted items and cinders that can be turned in for equipment to help boost your skill at the craft. There's a lot to digest here, so take a look and get ready for the most mold-breaking crafting yet seen in FFXI.
