Square Enix shared the FFXI September 2024 version update, and it also included some progress reports on Besieged quality of life changes, gamepad configuration for those who use controllers, and character customization. The new version will be available on September 10, 2024.
Most of the September version updates for FFXI involve typical changes. The Ambuscade has new notorious monsters for us to face. While we fought the Morbols and Meebles in August 2024, we need to deal with the Qutrub in Volume 1 and Hydra in Volume 2 next. The Records of Eminence will also be updated, as usual. Sortie items can be sold. The monthly login campaign rewards will change too, with the Ark Angel TT outfit joining the lineup. You need to get 500 points for that. The Ark Scythe that goes with it will also be a part of that campaign. It will be 300 points.
FFXI Director and Producer Yoji Fujito also shared the following statement on the Besieged and gamepad changes that are in development.
“Since the middle of August, we have created a dedicated QA testing room within the office for Besieged. At present, we’ve finished work on the basic design elements such as monster AI patterns and strength levels, and we plan to start implementing the changes soon. While it depends on any bugs we may discover and our other game balance adjustments, it seems the updates can be released as early as year’s end.
At the same time, we’re also working on other features such as GAMEPAD Config adjustments and a system that lets you change your character’s race. I’ll be sure to cover these topics and more when we have additional information to share, so I hope you’re looking forward to these upcoming changes and improvements.”
Final Fantasy XI is available on PCs. The September version update appears in FFXI on September 10, 2024.
