The Feast of Swords returns to Final Fantasy XI
As the end of April approaches, Final Fantasy XI is moving into its next returning holiday for the year, the oriental-themed Feast of Swords. As in years past, it's a chance for players to chase down thieves and beat them to death with ceremonial weapons, all for the honor of wearing cosmetic equipment. And even if you've already obtained all of the noteworthy event rewards from previous years, you can still enjoy the fiction kicking off the newest round of celebration.
The still-unseen Far East is once again the source of the narrative, with this year's story concerning a young blacksmith who finds himself unexpectedly celebrated within Bastok. As always, the story is punchy but entertaining, imparting some of the flavor of the event prior to its launch. Players of Final Fantasy XI can begin enjoying this year's dance of blades starting on April 28th and running until May 10th.
