We don't yet know exactly when we'll see the anticipated June version update for Final Fantasy XI. We are, however, increasingly aware of what will be contained in said update, and thus far it's looking pretty good. The list of improvements has just been lengthened with an official announcement of an expansion to Moblin Maze Mongers. Although it's billed as the Revitalization Team, and it's meant to help ease the stress of adventuring, the newest iteration seems poised to generate even more stress, unless you find facing off against specially designed difficulty monsters to be relaxing.

Lying in wait in the new maze variant is the master known as Sadistiq, whose name alone should give adventurers a fair idea of what a charming fellow he is. He pits teams against a monster for fifteen minutes at a stretch, with rewards handed out based on how well the party does against said monster -- including the possibility of a reward if the party can't quite take down their opponent. While the official announcement doesn't go into details, it looks like fans of the maze system will be getting a new way to enjoy it in the coming version update -- and if killing monsters didn't burn off stress for the players, well, you wouldn't be playing Final Fantasy XI, right?
