The forthcoming version update will feature a new battle system called “Voidwatch.”

[Cactuar]

In Voidwatch, bands of six to eighteen members will square off against “Voidwalkers,” savage entities that have breached planar bounds to invade multiple landscapes spanning past and present. By slaying these manifestations of terror, you and your stalwart comrades will gradually come to discover the true nature of the threat that has all of Vana’diel up in arms.

The upcoming May patch contains the first installment of this new challenge, and readies eighteen fields whereupon you will duel the dreaded Voidwalkers. The battle will expand to yet more areas in ensuing releases.



We will provide more information regarding Voidwatch in subsequent announcements, so stay tuned and steel yourself for battle!

The Goro wanna be looks cool, but I have a feeling this is just Einherjar 2.0

This.

The name sounds cool, and I'm sure they can include some pretty notorious monsters and cool looking mobs, but in the end, this will turn out like the ZNM paths to PM or Einherjar to Odin.

I'd sh*t myself if that was Gilgamesh.

Didn't think of it at the time, but you might be right. They are putting him in Dissidia 012

[Corrderio]

It probably isn't, however I do wish they'd add an actual Gilgamesh in XI instead of a crusty old pirate NPC.

[pathwriter]

This doesn't sound like Einherjar so much as... you know, Voidwalkers... VNMs. It's almost certainly just an expansion of that system being given a new name.
