Final Fantasy XI's next version update is just around the corner! Though details are scarce at this time as to what all we can expect to see come this update, slated for late January, word has it that those subterranean Beastmen, the Meebles, will be center stage again, as a major expansion to the Meeble Burrows battle system is the current focus.
