Default TGS pics & info, new Japanese ads for the Free Trial
So, this is technically the biggest thing to come out of the Tokyo Game Show regarding Final Fantasy XI.

Basically, they have released a set of new commercials running in Japan, where they edit FFXI cutscenes and add in humorous dialogue. It's sort of like Sealab 2021 meets FFXI.

You can watch the video here: FFXI Free Trial - Subtitled Japanese Commercials!

Barring any particularly insightful interviews in the next few days, that pretty much wraps up TGS for us FFXI fans. If you want pictures and commentary about the show, just click here for all TGS posts, where all Creator's Voice Z entries are translated, which include some cosplay and commentary.

Corinth is busy writing up a more detailed look into TGS, and will have many pictures and things to say, including a visit to the official Square Enix store on Monday.

Enjoy the commercials!

I feel like the low levels aren't stable enough to get good picture of the game, valkurm sucks and you might get 160 exp from one mob and 50 from the other... also the constant missing resisting and hitting for 0's, plus all the walking around.. It's really hard to solo ex. blm to 18 so you can get subjob quest :/

That's how Faf and Nid should spawn, flying in from above, a landing AoE+Stunga move, kill any lvl 5 vokebots, and THEN you try to claim the fucker.

The accents of some of them, especially the Mamool ones, just made me lol so hard. Such twisted Japanese accents are amazing on characters like that, lol.

No exactly OP-related, but...

Within the Japanese Dissidia site, people were able to find out that there will be FF11 and FF12 representatives in the game.

The awesomeness of those skits know no bounds.

They really had me when the little girl fell over during the Mamool scene.

Did they screenshot it? I don't see any indication that they will go past FFX. Is it hidden somewhere?
