The bad news for Final Fantasy XI fans is that the game’s monthly update in June is going to be on the smaller side. That’s a little unfortunate, insofar as the updates are frequently a bit meatier; June features some Ambuscade adjustments and some Escutcheon improvements, but that’s about it. That’s the sort of thing which, absent of other information, might lead you to suspect that the game’s lengthy string of maintenance mode updates was finally winding down.
But the update notice gives us a reason for the slightly smaller patch, and it’s a good one. Something bigger is coming in July, and that means June has to be a bit smaller. That, of course, prompts questions about what might be coming in July. New battle content? More quests? The possibilities are many, and whatever turns out to be the truth, it’s likely well worth the wait for another month.
