During the July 2020 Digest video, the team

Matsui: Finally, I'd like to talk about the new scenario we previously mentioned. We're working on having it ready by next month's version update, in August. The story may not be as large in scale as a mission, but it's still relatively large.

Fujito: We're working hard to implement it, so we hope you'll look forward to it!

2021

In Matsui's 2021 Happy New Year post, he briefly mentions VR.

First, we will continue to periodically add new entries to The Voracious Resurgence. We're just about to start sinking our teeth into the main course of this new offering, so we hope you're looking forward to seeing what's in store.

In a May interview with Famitsu, some comments were made. FFXIAH poster Manque provided a translation below in their post here.

Q: Three nations paths for the Voravious Resurgence are at and. Any hints for what is next?

Fujito: there are lots of stories in Vana'diel that have not been touched upon much yet. So, while exploring those other stories, we will go deeper with the three characters (what exactly are they?!) eventually coming to a climax. We will be updating the Voracious Resurgence website to reveal some details along the way that will make you say "they're including that too?!", so please check the site out as we progress! http://www.playonline.com/ff11/resurgence/

Fujito: we want to touch upon more moments that tie up loose threads or give conclusion to certain stories.

Matsui: Story is about revealing the various backstories in Vanadiel.

Fujito: Battles have been included so far to drive players to feel connected to the story. There's nothing specific we can talk about now, but other large-scale content is being planned.

In the 19th Vana'versary address posted on May 16th, 2021, Matsui commented on VR's progress.

The Voracious Resurgence is picking up in speed and volume, with many stories we wanted to tell coming to fruition. One thing I'd like to draw your attention to is that for continuity purposes, players must complete certain missions and events in order to progress in the story. If there are any missions you haven't yet completed, I urge you to do so at your earliest convenience so that you can enjoy the story right as it comes out.

In June of 2021, Fujito made a post to the Japanese forum that included a snippet about what's coming. Community rep Voltenyne posted an official translation here.

Aht Urhgan sets the stage of the story in the June 2021 version update.

Who will be featured this time? What is the story relevance of the blue mage mentioned in the news announcement?

As usual, I’m quite sure the story won’t betray your expectations.

We’re planning to continue the scenario for at least another year, so if you haven’t caught up, you should be able to progress through the story at your own pace.
