    Square Enix continues its anniversary fest with a celebratory event planned for the tenth birthday of Final Fantasy XI. The event, dubbed Vanafest 2012 by this teaser website Square Enix launched, will be held over June 23 and June 24.

    As the map shows, the event will likely be held somewhere around Tokyo, though an exact location has not yet been revealed. Sadly that leaves most of us out of the loop.

    In other news, the Square Enix tactical MMORPG Wakfu has closed its open beta testing phase and scheduled a release date - February 29.

    Wakfu, developed by Ankama Games, will be free to play, but an optional $6/month subscription can be paid to unlock premium content.

    As a teaser, Square Enix released a trailer showing off the "Eniripsa" class, just one of fourteen different classes to choose from. The video can be viewed below.

      Hmm, very interesting they're having a Vanafest this year. It seemed as if they were running on a skeleton crew and the game drying up. Maybe they have some interesting announcements to ensure the future of FFXI be bright; which would be nice.

      Ah yeah I heard about that. I'm not sure if that'll really sell that well though... I mean, you pretty much need a third party plug-in called Windower to play the game for long periods of time. Unless they manage to overhaul the entire interface, I'm not sure what's possible without Windower. However, they did say they just increased the PS2 HDD partition for the game from 11GB to 21GB. This is a massive deal, as that could mean possibly having new large-scale content so long as they aren't running on a skeleton crew.
