At a time the place there may be always phrase of this or that recreation shutting down, even profitable ones, it is going to by no means fail to shock me that Final Fantasy 11 continues to be going. You may’t play it on PS2 anymore, however there’s nonetheless an energetic group on PC even now. The MMO simply celebrated its twenty third anniversary yesterday in actual fact, with a brand new replace video and letter from the producer Yoji Fujito launched to spotlight a few of the new and upcoming options.
For one, in a future replace extra monsters are getting added to Limbus. There’s additionally a brand new morale gauge system coming to Besieged that provides your forces a stat enhance. Maybe most fascinating of all is a function you may take as a right in fashionable MMOs, which is the introduction of the character race change service. Dodgy identify apart, it will can help you change your character’s race, gender, face sort, hair color, and dimension.
Updates over the past 12 months even added in one thing as small as gamepad configuration changes, and as huge as a brand new grasp trial, Wing of Conflict.
Fujito’s letter additional defined that even now, the staff is trying to assist new and returning gamers, significantly solo ones, have a neater time with the sport. At the moment there’s one thing referred to as the alter ego system, which is analogous to Remaining Fantasy 14’s belief system in that you may recruit NPCs that can assist you on quests. In response to Fujito, the devs might be trying to can help you improve these alter egos “as a method of enhancing the solo participant expertise.” They produce other plans to clean issues over too, which is actually a bit wild to me for a recreation that is been operating for thus lengthy.
I’ve not dived into Remaining Fantasy 11 myself, there’s all the time too many video games for me to play to even contemplate touching an MMO. Nonetheless, it is comforting in a wierd approach that realizing that it is there, trudging alongside, prepared for myself or anybody else to offer it a go. Kudos to the staff!
