Square Enix's 8th Vana'versary Fan Art Contest gave everyone a wonderful look at the love for Vana'diel each winner put into their submissions, but now it's time for all the submitted entries to get their 15 minutes of fame. Square Enix has released the full gallery of submissions for everyone to see. Discuss this on the ZAM forums.
My own entry is located in the second spot of the second row! :)
It's been nearly ten months since the release of the Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection, a compilation of the original Final Fantasy XI game, the Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess expansions, and A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat, and A Shantotto Ascension add-on scenarios. As a way of opening up the world of Vana'diel even more, Steam has announced an astounding sale on this collection, reducing the price to only $4.99 for this eight part bundle. Be sure to check out the official Steam website for further details.
Raise your hand if you've been in an experience point alliance in Abyssea. Aren't they great? What's more, our black mage friends finally have a role in an experience point group again! No more soloing or mana burn parties! The black mage in today's comic, however, is a little worse for wear.

Discuss this on the ZAM Forums. Have an idea for Happy Friday? Email us. We'd love to see it!
In the third installment of Square Enix's ongoing endeavor to shed light on mysteries floating about the player community, the premier fan site FFXIclopedia posed several questions regarding the Visions of Abyssea add-on battlefield, the first of three such add-ons scheduled to be released this year. From such questions as the meaning of the lights obtainable from mobs and chests to the true purpose of that Flask of Primeval Brew, this Q&A is certain to set straight many rumors and theories regarding this parallel world to Vana'diel.
This week's Happy Friday idea was submitted by Jevilwolf.
A couple tries to enjoy a beautiful romantic moment with each other when their peace and quiet is disturbed by a party just trying to get some experience in an otherwise crowded Vana'diel.
After pouring through countless submissions of impressive artwork, the judges for Final Fantasy XI's 8th Anniversary Fan Art contest have selected their picks for the best of the best. This year's theme was the aforementioned anniversary, and all contest entries had to adhere to that guideline, but aside from that, the only limitations were the artists' imaginations. From inks to paints (and even some food here and there), the media chosen were diverse and expressive, and the products of the artists' labors are truly a sight to behold.
