* Expansion content goes live March 27, 2013 worldwide (March 28, 2013 in EU and JP time zones).
Seekers of Adoulin™ (JP: アドゥリンの魔境, DE: Im Banne Adoulins, FR: Explorateurs d'Adoulin) will be the fifth full expansion for Final Fantasy XI and is currently in development for all three supported platforms (although the Playstation 2 version will not be released outside of Japan). In the United States and Europe, the PC version will be released as a digital download while the Xbox 360 version will be released on disc. Both versions of the game will be released in two formats: the FINAL FANTASY® XI: Seekers of Adoulin™ expansion pack and the FINAL FANTASY® XI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition which will also include the base game software and all previous expansion packs and scenarios.
Prior to the game's reveal, in spring of 2012 portions of new areas from this upcoming expansion were discovered in the test server data files. Square Enix registered the trademark for "Seekers of Adoulin," and the European translations of that title, on June 22, 2012, less than a day prior to the start of Vana'fest 2012. The title was officially revealed at Vana'fest on June 23, 2012 with additional game information, a new trailer, and a confirmed release date unveiled on December 27, 2012. Seekers of Adoulin will go on sale on March 26, 2013 worldwide with expansion content becoming unlocked and accessible on March 27, 2013.
In this expansion, adventurers will travel west to the Ulbuka Continent and the island city of Adoulin, with much of the focus being claiming the unexplored wilderness, specifically the vast, untamed jungle, outside of the city and discovering more about the planet's geomagnetic fields. A new type of guild system will be different from the crafting guilds already in the game with coalitions for various fields such as exploration and information. Players will also be able to unlock new content and bonuses by participating in regional affairs, such as clearing paths and building outposts that will allow teleportation, and by conquering the strongholds of the seven tribes of enemies and their native warlords. In addition, each player will receive their own small island in the archipelago to the east of the Ulbuka mainland. This will serve as an area where players can perform unique tasks such as raise groups of monsters to harvest synthesis materials.
Two new jobs will be added in the expansion: Geomancer, an offensive and support mage hybrid class specializing in enhancing areas of terrain to provide unique bonuses to players within that area, and Rune Fencer, a melee and tank hybrid class specializing in utilizing runes to enhance their offensive capabilities as well as their magic defense and resistances. The 15 new areas will include, among others, the city hub of Adoulin, the underground Rala Waterways, the jungles and beaches of the Yahse Hunting Grounds and Ceizak Battlegrounds, the harsh and contaminated Foret de Hennetiel, and the mysterious Sih and Moh Gates. Seekers of Adoulin will also introduce many varied new types of monsters including the Velkk, a new beastman tribe.
Prologue
As the eighth century came to a close, so did the islands' old regime. The royal family, in partnership with the eleven knightly orders, agreed to abolish imperial rule...from which arose the Sacred City of Adoulin.
The rate at which it developed astounded all. In the blink of an eye, Adoulin had become a maritime metropolis, its mercantile prowess rivaling even Jeuno's.
The hustle and bustle of the commoners' district in the west--Adoulin's center of trade and pioneering hub--serves as a stark contrast to the refined, stoic castle in the east. It is upon this urban landscape that adventurers will first leave their mark...in the next chapter of Vana'diel's history.
