Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin Released

Square Enix today announced that Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin is now available for purchase on the Xbox 360 and PC. Online servers will go live later this evening. The latest addition to the online game features new areas to explore and develop, along with two new jobs to master and new beasts and monsters to defeat.

As the eighth century came to a close, the Royal Family, in partnership with the Eleven Knightly Orders, has agreed to abolish imperial rule—from which arose the Sacred City of Adoulin on the Ulbuka Continent. In the blink of an eye, Adoulin had grown to be a maritime metropolis, with a mercantile prowess rivaling that of Jeuno. It is in this booming city state that the players will find themselves as they work to explore and unlock the secrets hidden in the nearby jungles.

With the new expansion, players can now become geomancers or rune fencers. Geomancers harness the elemental energies of Vana’diel to aid their comrades and attack enemies alike. Rune fencers are versatile duelists, quick with a blade as well as incantations, and employ the power of arcane runes to sway battles.

The expansion also introduces new gameplay systems, including player-built outposts, new contract work, and the introduction of special “power spots” that are hidden throughout the environment for character enhancements.
