In their ongoing celebration of Final Fantasy XI's eleventh anniversary, as well as successes with two of their other MMORPGs, Square Enix has announced a collaboration event between XI, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and Dragon Quest X Online! Strange, yet adorable, creatures from the Dragon Quest universe, the slimes, have arrived in Vana'diel and have begun to spread mischief, and it is up to you to round up the little blobs before they cause too much trouble.

This has come at a most unfortunate time, as the spriggans, rabbit-like animals from the lands of Eorzea, have also made their way to Vana'diel. What connection do they have with our moogles? What sort of trouble will transpire if you don't wrangle them up?

Obviously, a special event like this calls for special rewards, and this one is sure to please. Unique in-game items and equipment will be available, and you might even be able to find yourself becoming a slime or spriggan in Monstrosity after acquiring a few special items.

Be sure to look for this epic crossover starting on December 11th, and let us know what you think of this event over on the ZAM forums!
