For the first time in nearly four years, Final Fantasy XI's developers will be adding two new avatars, accessible to Summoners. The first will be Cait Sith and the second will be Atomos. Cait Sith is slated to be released during the mid-March version update, while Atomos has yet to be given a window.
As expected, Cait Sith will be a light-based avatar. Most of her Blood Pacts are pretty par for the course, but the one that stands out to me personally is "Altana's Favor," which lacks a bit of a punch with the recent reduction to experience points lost on death, but is still convenient nonetheless. Here's the complete list:
