The collaboration event 'Castle of Deep Dark Illusions' is now running in Wizardry Variants Daphne, bringing Final Fantasy XI's Castle Zvahl into the dungeon RPG's world. The Dark King's hatred has manifested as a new dungeon, the 'Ghost Castle of the Northern Piercing,' and is eroding the family of a certain lord, which the player investigates.
Three FFXI adventurers join as playable characters: Zeid, the Galka dark knight from the original 2002 missions; Prishe, the central figure of the 2004 expansion 'Chains of Promathia'; and Iroha, the heroine of 2015's 'Rhapsodies of Vana'diel.' The event reproduces FFXI systems with notable fidelity, including Relics, Notorious Monsters, and the game's infamous 'life sentences.'
