Square Enix has just announced a few new details regarding their online expansion, Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia. Adding to the earlier announcment of adding the areas of Tavnazia and Movalpolos, two new areas have been announced. The first being Pso'Xja which is an underground ruin system thats has been under the control of the shadowy Tenshodo, an underground merchant guild. Filled with the carvings of a lost civilzation, the Tenshodo have decided to open the ruins to exploration by adventurers. The second area is Attowha Chasm, an arid land that makes up eastern Aragoneu. Attowha is home to poisonous gases, unique creatures that can thrive in this harsh environment, and the mysterious Parradamo Tor, a hill that is said to be in the chasm but from which adventurers never return.
Along with the two new areas, two new NPCs have been announced that will add to the already establish Final Fantasy XI storyline. The two characters are a young girl named Prishe and a young boy known only as the "Enigmatic Youth" who appears out of nowhere but speaks little. FFXI: Chains of Promathia is still slated to be released simultaneously in Japan and North America this fall.
