In celebration of the FINAL FANTASY XI 9th Anniversary, it is with extreme pleasure that we announce the FINAL FANTASY XI Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition, exclusive for Windows PC download!

Available from May 16th for the low price of $19.99, the collection includes the original game, all four expansions (Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess), all three add-on scenarios (A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat, and A Shantotto Ascension), and for the first time in one collection, the complete Abyssea battle add-on trilogy (Vision of Abyssea, Scars of Abyssea, and Heroes of Abyssea).

What's more, those who purchase the Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition will be gifted with a very special in-game item: the Destrier Beret. This simply is a package that no fan will want to miss!


The in-game item...is pretty nice I suppose. Auto regen, refresh, skill ups and reraise under 30? @#%^ yeah.

If it works like the pelican ring then hitting a monster with a weapon will be treated as hitting it twice for the purpose of skilling up.

The main screen resolution for "FINAL FANTASY XI" is dependent on the "Overlay Graphics Resolution" setting.
If the Overlay Graphics Resolution is set higher than the Menu Resolution, menus will be automatically resized.


I thought of it first:

Edit:

I applaud SE for this, but as someone who rerolled a few days ago, I feel like I jumped the gun.

That said, as long as I can 'upgrade' with all three Abyssea packs in this bundle, I guess that's alright.

Was planning to start a secondary character may 10th when character creation on my server was possible again.
Looking like it'll be the 16th now.

Is this just a US release, or will this be simultaneously available in Europe?

And.. could I snatch the add-on item to my main account? xD.

Should be able to use it as an upgrade the account. I'm probably going to buy it just to have the 3 scenarios on my main account (instead of buying a key at $10 each [i think that was the price last i looked]) as my 2nd account used the VD collection i bought right before I found my old info -.-


BTW, that video link doesn't work.

You could do that with the last Ultimate collection. I remember nabbing it on Steam for a song (5 bucks?) and redeeming it gave me Moogle/ASA Add-on keys.

This makes me wonder, should I maybe try to buy this as a discounted price and use it to get the other 2 Abyssea addons "cheaper", or not....

That's what I was wondering, if I could just buy this and then "add" it to my current account or whatever.

Came back, saw the Abyssea stuff, figured they'd be $10 each and have been holding off and then this pops, so I was thinking it'd make more sense to spend the $20, get the 3 add-ons AND have all the updated game files at the same time.

OR SE could not insult all the poeople that bought the expansions when they first came out, you know their loyal customers, and take out the prishe statue and give everyone the hat that bought all three expansions.

but why would they do that, that makes sense.

I never understood this, this argument popped up during the first set of addons then they make INCENTIVES to buy the entire game, which since they've already done this once people should have known they'd do it with the next set of 3 addons.

So I'm not seeing how anyone is being insulted especially given how stir crazy everyone is over Abyssea, then again some people always find the ill intent in SE giving player's incentives to buy something, like the Tidal Talisman.

I don't think SE is insulting me but as I don't have a job under 30 it would be nice to have a new funny little shiney toy to play with as well. Nobody unjoys the feeling of being unincluded.

I love berets.

I think Mistress, its the idea that we bougth expansons for full price when they came around. I understand wanting to give them an incentive for buying, but that doesnt change anything if we get it to for buying. Remember they did this for the mini expansions. they put the incentive there, but they gave it to everyone that bought all three.

Why not do that here too? So giving it to everyone does not hurt or affect new players getting the bonues when they buy. The only thing I can see is suckering people to buy the expansions twice.

While I only have one job left under 30, that hat would be nice to have for the odd sync. Makes me wish just talking to Joachim after buying all 3 abysseas would give you a short blurb and the item. :/

I caved in to reroll and bought the 9.99 game this past Sunday.

I was holding off on abyssea till I get a job in lvl range cause them ******* were like 10 each, now I can get 3 for 2, and neat hat :D

They won't be getting a cent out of me for this. The hat is nice, but not a chance will I re-buy the whole bloody game. I've already poured out at least $200 buying each expansion individually over the last eight years, not to mention handing them nearly $1500 over that period of time in service fees.

I feel insulted knowing that my loyalty as a long time customer means nothing compared to giving any fresh face a nice hat and the whole game for $20.

I'm a bit disappointed as well that long-time players who have paid 10x as much for expansions are left out from getting that hat.

I just got the steam deal for 10 bucks this past weekend, it didn't come with the Abyssa expansions. Can I upgrade with this and get the nifty item? It sure would help me being a new player especially if I can skill up guard and parry man that would rock.

I for one am not really insulted at all. For just about as long as there's been games, they go down in price over time and game companies add sweeteners for people. Honestly I think it's a really nice item to entice new and returning players to the game, but I certainly wouldn't pay $20 for it. But that's just me.

Well, I'm probably not going to buy one, but my little brother has said that he's considering coming back (on a new account), so this would be pretty sweet for him.

I never did buy the unapologetic money grabs 2 and 3, and was on the fence about picking up any of the Abbysseas. I suppose this is a good way for me to save thirty dollars if I decide to stick around.

Your loyalty produced:

CoP
ToAU
WoTG
ACP
MKE
ASA
Abyssea
Voidwalkers
Bonanazas

Not to mention everything thrown in between. I played since the game came online and I don't feel insult because I was never expected to be rewarded out of the blue with things like this.
