What happens if you trade a stack of Imperial Bronze Pieces to your moogle?

Apparently 99 Imperial Bronze pieces will make your locker valid until April 18, 2010. Or 99 weeks since one bronze piece will give you a week on your locker. Well it sure beats the whole thing expiring at you.

Is Ixion the next summoning avatar?

Ixion is Come!

That’s not a typo on my part. That is how it is exactly written on the Final Fantasy XI Official Web Site. But my question remains, is Ixion one of the new avatars for summoners.

Just for a short refresher, the summoner job first made it’s appearance in the Rise of the Zilart expansion. Technically this was the first expansion for the series but it was already included in the North American release of the game. The summoner is a classic job seen in the Final Fantasy series. Often changing their “summons” in almost every incarnation of the game but it still remains the same. Aeon, avatar, summons, guardian force, it all basically allows the character to call upon another power to fight for it. Each summon is usually linked to a magical element. The summoner job is a mage job (duh!).

The last avatar update was Diabolos in the Chains of Promathia expansion, the second expansion set in the series. Since then, two expansions have been released with no other avatar added to the summoner ability. Announced in the Final Fantasy Fan Festival last November, it was revealed by the developers that they were working on adding additional “avatars” to the jobs.

Ixion on the other hand I first encountered in Final Fantasy X. It was attributed to the lightning element. With Ramuh already in the series, what element will Ixion be in FFXI?

Just recently, character has reached level 75. The current maximum level for any player in the world of Vana’diel. And any new avatar would be welcome to the job. I hate getting invites to heal. Jeez go get a white mage. I would like this job to be more of a support damage dealer and hopefully this update will give it the respect that it deserves.

My Life as King

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles WiiWare – Trailer #4

I downloaded my first Wii Ware game on my Wii and I can’t stop playing.

1500 Wii points will buy you Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles My Life as King. Based on events after the Gamecube version, you are a king that has to build a kingdom.

It’s Sim City Final Fantasy style. You build houses, stores and guilds for people. Commission adventurers to undertake quests for the kingdom all under the looming threat of the Dark Lord.

There’s no dungeon crawl for the king. But you go get updates on what’s happening to your minions subjects. It’s only been two days and I’ve racked almost 70 days of in game time.

Downloadable content on the Japanese Wii Channel have been other races and clothes for your characters.

It took a while for the whole thing to download and is the most expensive of all Wii Ware. $15 is quite a lot but the expandability of the game is there.

Here’s hoping that Square-Enix will make more content available.
