On November 10th in North America the Final Fantasy XI Ultimate collection will be available to purchase.
This pack is going to include the entire Final Fantasy XI catalog including the four previous expansions - Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess. If that isn't enough also included will be the three add-on scenarios that were released this year - A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat and A Shantotto Ascension (which i think will be available to play Nov 9th).
This pretty big bundle will be priced at $19.99 and will be available as a retail product for both Windows PC and Xbox 360, and as a PC download from select digital content distributors. Thats a really really good deal, maybe too good since on the horizon Final Fantasy XI's big sister/brother Final Fantasy XIV is looming.
Final Fantasy XIV is going to have a HUGE following and this maybe why Square Enix is going to try and off-load as many XI boxes as they can before then.
It is a massive shame they don't included the promotional 'elixirs' and action figures that will be offered later this year in Japan with the release of Final Fantasy XIII lol. The Japanese always get the crazy cool stuff :(
On a sidenote: Square Enix NA posted a scam alert last week which can be read below:
