Final Fantasy XI Online has charged up to limit break this May with a full inventory of new and returning events and content. This month marks the 19th anniversary of FFXI, and SQUARE ENIX is celebrating in-game with multiple campaign events. Leading the feature of new content are The Voracious Resurgence storyline and Ambuscade Update.

According to SQUARE ENIX’s official post, the May update is available today and includes new and improved content such as The Voracious Resurgence Update and an Ambuscade Update. It also includes the 19th Vana’versary Mandragora Mania Event and the 19th Vana’versary Nomad Mog Bonanza. Along with that is a total of five in-game campaigns that will be lasting throughout the month. For the complete list of the battle, event, item, and system-related details check out the May 10, 2021 Version Update post on the FFXI forum.

The Voracious Resurgence Update includes the new fourth chapter in the storyline involving Bastok once again feeling the winds of war, along with a ‘new threat from the empire’. The new chapter will also introduce you to a new story plot. You’ll encounter plenty of new characters to interact with, such as Raubahn, Cornelia, and Naja (respectively shown below).

The two updates to Ambuscade include the return of the Mamool Ja and adding in a new challenging foe, giant Flies (shown below).

The two major 19th Vana’versary Events include Mandragora Mania and Nomad Mog Bonanza. Both events offer you new in-game activities to participate in. Try the Nomad Mog Bonanza number guessing game for a chance to win weapons modeled from the Final Fantasy series.
