Here comes another update for Final Fantasy XI! “Wait, didn’t that have its last update already?” you ask. No, it had its final story update, but the systems of the game can still be improved. That’s the bulk of what’s available in the game’s December version update. You could argue the expansion of the Aeonic Weapons is a bit more content than would be expected in the game’s post-story maintenance mode, but most of the patch is just about trimming and improving systems.
Despite that fact, players will likely welcome the changes, which allow Trust companions in more content, add a software keyboard for Windows users, and expand the number of items allowed on the auction house. There are also several areas and battle types receiving improvements. The whole patch is due out on December 10th, meaning that players who are still heavily invested in the game can enjoy something of an early Christmas present.
