Square Enix announce that the second add-on scenario for FINAL FANTASY XI, their MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game), will begin pre-sale on July 5, 2009. Titled “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat – Evil in Small Doses”, this upcoming add-on scenario will launch simultaneously worldwide later this summer, for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system (North America and Japan only) and Windows.

Beginning on July 5, 2009, “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat – Evil in Small Doses” will be available for pre-purchase and download for £7.99 in the UK and €9.99 in the rest of Europe via the PlayOnline Viewer. Slated to launch at the end of July following the next FINAL FANTASY XI version update, players whose in-game character’s main job level is at least 10 can begin to enjoy this new content. Introducing a brand-new story arc, this new scenario requires the installation of RISE OF THE ZILART®, the first expansion pack in the FINAL FANTASY XI series.

The development of these add-on scenarios, including the already launched “A Crystalline Prophecy - Ode of Life Bestowing” and the upcoming third and final scenario – “A Shantotto Ascension – The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born” – is led by Masato Kato, who created the stories and scenarios for FINAL FANTASY XI, and its first expansion pack, RISE OF THE ZILART. With the summer release of this second scenario, “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat – Evil in Small Doses”, players will delve into a dark mystery set in motion by a single drop of water.
About A Moogle Kupo d’Etat – Evil in Small Doses

Story
It all started with an innocent drop of rainwater and a rickety, ramshackle Mog House desperately in need of repair.
Little did anyone suspect that this would be the beginning of a harrowing nightmare unheard of in the annals of moogle-kind.
