Though holidays gifts are best left a secret, Square Enix has decided to give us an early surprise by announcing a December 26th version update for Final Fantasy XI. Little is known yet about this update, other than that it seems that favorites such as Shantotto, Volker, Ajido-Marujido, and Trion will all be making their grand appearances to the increasingly popular Trust magic repertoire! Have you ever wanted to fight alongside these fabeled Vana'diel heroes (or wanted to at least have Shantotto not cast Flare on you for once)? Here's your chance!

What are your feelings about this version update for FFXI? Let us know about it over on the ZAM forums!

From Playonline.com:

Break out the blankets and get ready to hunker down, for the next version update is scheduled for Thursday, December 26!

Trion, Volker, Ajido-Marujido, and Shantotto are all in accord--this time of the year is for recalling fond memories and rekindling old friendships! Stroll down memory lane with these storied personages and never be alone again with their alter egos at your side!
