    News Post Thankgiving Contest

    The community team part of Final Fantasy XI has put together a contest for players of FFXI. The rewards are in game food items to the top three winners. The full guidelines can be see below, but a short description of them follows. You have to provide screenshots of your hunt of the beast you are preparing for Thanksgiving. The player needs to detail their reasons for picking it, the effort in catching it and the those eating would expect it to taste like when the player has finished preparing their meal.

    The event goes from November 21 through to November 30.

    A Beast for the Feast

    The air is getting colder and the leaves have changed colors. This can only mean that Thanksgiving is here! Of course, what would Thanksgiving be without a feast? The Community Team is doing their best to coordinate with the culinary guild to create the tastiest foods Vana’diel has to offer. However, their hands are tied because they’re busy with the preparations and have yet to secure the main meat dish! Adventurers from all over Vana’diel must slay the tastiest beast and bring it to the feast!

    The sky is the limit here, so bring in any kind of monster! (We want to try them all!) Provide up to 5 screenshots to show off how your hunt was executed as well as a short commentary as to why you chose your beast for the feast and what adventurers can expect taste-wise.

    Three lucky winners will receive a contest-exclusive rare dish of Rolanberry Delightaru to decorate their Mog Houses with. Also, all participants will receive an Athena Orb!

    So put on your Hunter's Beret and bring home the Behemoth!
