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 powerful character enhancements.
Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin will retail for $29.99 for both the Xbox 360 and for Windows PC versions. The Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition is also available for $39.99, and includes the full compilation of the stand-alone game with all four previously released expansion packs, add-on scenarios, and three battle area add-ons.
