This is what we have been waiting for! SE just announced new expansion pack for FFXI, unlike the rip off COP expansion. Checkout this quote

Quoted from ffxi.somepage.com. Very little is being officially confirmed by Square-Enix at this time; they have put out the teaser trailer to let it get some attention, and aren’t giving out much information beyond that. There are some bits of info on a handful of Japanese sites from small interviews done with the PR team that Square-Enix has available at the show:

As expected, the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion pack will feature at least one new job, new zones, and new storylines.

When asked about whether there will be multiple new jobs, the answer was that “there probably will be, but they could be combined”, lending weight to the speculation that the new job shown may have Geomancer/Elementalist features as well.

The use of level-capped areas is being looked at but isn’t decided yet, based on looking at how they worked in the Chains of Promathia expansion.
A new director has been put in place for this expansion; map designer Kouichi Ogawa will be heading up Treasures of Aht Urhgan.

The beta test of the Xbox 360 version of FFXI will include up to Chains of Promathia but not Treasures of Aht Urhgan; presumably, the new expansion will be coming out sometime next year, after the X360 FFXI is already up and running.

On the same vein, the North American beta for X360 FFXI is being scheduled with Microsoft, based around the release of the Xbox 360. It is undecided whether the Japanese beta for the game will happen at the same time or not, since the X360 is being released a few weeks later there.

Basically, can’t wait to see what the new job will offer. Aside from FFXI, I have tweaked the site a little bit, should be easier to navigate now and less boring look. I also just purchased a PSP, big thanks to Tkclement for his help and knowledge (and shared resources hehe).
