For those Final Fantasy XI players who like to purchase their games from Steam, the option will soon be available to pick up the Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition from there. However, there is a chance that the option to purchase it from Steam will not be available at the time of the expansion launch, so those that were looking to purchase the expansion at launch may need to be prepared to do so elsewhere.

Let us know what you think of this announcement over on the ZAM forums.
