Previews of the June Final Fantasy XI update

We've previously mentioned the June update coming for Final Fantasy XI. In the last week or so numerous small preview pieces have trickled out on the official site, bringing us further into the loop on what sounds like a pretty big series of tweaks. There are numerous small quality of life improvements, quest refinements, and what sounds like couple of big changes to the campaign system. Here's the FFXI June patch highlight reel:

• High Quality item synthesis will see a few new items added onto the rolls, to make the experience more lucrative.
  

• Some furnishings will see extra storage space added, and some armor sets that weren't previously placeable on mannequins can now be displayed in that fashion.

• The burgs of Selbina and Mhaura will now have their very own nomad Moogles and delivery NPCs.
  

• An automatic item sort is being added into the game, which will stack items as they're gained by players.

• NPC Fellows can now be summoned in parts of Vana'diel's past, are receiving a few new personalities, and will soon be eligible to level up to 70.

• The Campaign system will see the most concerted changes, with new healer NPCs being deployed to both sides of the skirmish and brand-new medals for distinguished service. Players will now also be able to exchange their points with successful soldiers behind opposing national lines. In this way, players will be able to obtain items offered by nations other than their own.

The official site also notes that the 2008 Vana'diel Collection is now available for lapsed players looking to come back with some of the newer expansions. Kupo!
