FFXI Fan Festival 2006 Info

Posted by: Cuer - Sat Mar 11th, 2006 03:09 am EST

The 2006 FFXI Fan Festival is going on through Saturday, with much new information being released there about the upcoming expansion to the game, Treasures of Aht Urhgan. Three new jobs will be added with the expansion: Blue Mage, Corsair, and the newly announced Puppetmaster job! This will bring the total number of jobs in FFXI to 18, with the release of the expansion.

FFXI Puppetmaster Job

Some excellent resources of information from the Fan Festival, since it will be at least a few days until everything is updated on the official Fan Festival site:

The official wrap-up from the Fan Festival will be coming to the post event section on the Fan Festival site; check back there periodically for more information.
An indepth article covering everything from the Fan Festival is at 1up.com, with a lot of speculation about what everything means. Even better, it contains a new interview with the FFXI team, with a wide ranging Q&A.
Two videos from the event are up at IGN: the first is the official expansion promotion video, while the second is the brief video showed with the introduction of the Puppetmaster job. They also have a lengthy article covering the information released about the expansion.
A great summation of the announced additions and possible changes can be found on an ffxionline.com report.
More of the same information, fleshed out slightly, is in the first post of an Allakhazam thread.

Please post any further links to more information or pictures from the event, in the thread for this news. With all these announcements, the official Square-Enix information regarding the expansion should be expanding dramatically in the next week, as well.
