NEWSHOUND BITES: Should have posted this earlier. Anyway, here’s the latest tidbit from my ol’ faithful newshound: there’s what is described as a “grueling new enemy encounter” in FFXI and it ain’t gonna be pretty. No wusses allowed. In fact, Massively has dibs on what FFXI players may have to go through just to defeat Pandemonium Warden.

Hope it doesn’t involve selling one’s soul.

Anyway, think shapeshifts in multiple forms, more hours to devote to killing, and can you say…

A whole new level of  FFXI  addiction?

Perhaps. Here’s a quote from an  FFXI  community site, courtesy of Old’ Faithful Newshound, talking about their guild’s face-off against Pandemonium Warden:

“People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people’s lives.”
