Final Fantasy XI , also known as Final Fantasy XI Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square (later Square Enix) as part of the Final Fantasy series. It was released in Japan on Sony's PlayStation 2 on May 16, 2002, and was released for Microsoft's Windows-based personal computers in November 2002. The PC version was released in North America on October 28, 2003, and the PlayStation 2 version on March 23, 2004. In Europe, only the Windows version was released, on September 17, 2004. An Xbox 360 version was released worldwide in April 2006 for all regions, as the system's first MMORPG and the first cross-platform MMORPG.The Xbox 360 version does not require an Xbox Live Gold account.
The story is set in the fantasy world of Vana'diel, where tasks can be performed to improve a character's powers or to complete quests. Players are able to customize a character that they will guide through the story. There are also hundreds of quests that allow players to gain various rewards, as well as a growing number of player versus player competitions.
In January 2004, Square Enix announced that more than 500,000 users, using more than one million characters, were playing the game. As of 2006, between 200,000 and 300,000 active players logged in per day, and the game remains the dominant MMORPG in Japan.Four expansions for the game have been released, capitalizing on the game's success.
Gameplay
Final Fantasy XI, in addition to being an MMORPG, differs from previous titles in the series in several ways.Unlike the predefined main characters of previous Final Fantasy titles, players are able to customize their characters in limited ways, including race, gender, face, hair color, body size, job, and allegiance. Also corresponding to previous games in the series, all battles are real time, and enemies are no longer randomly encountered.
There are 32 public game worlds, a cluster of servers, available for play with approximately 15,000 to 20,000 players in each.The servers are named after summoned monsters from previous Final Fantasy titles, such as Ifrit and Diabolos. Players have the ability to move between servers, though few do; more common is the creation of different characters on different servers who can send items between each other.There are no region-specific or system-specific servers, and unlike most online games, players of different languages play in the same world and can interact through automatic language translation from a library of translated phrases.
Interface
Players have the option of using any combination of a keyboard, mouse, and controller to play Final Fantasy XI. If a player using a PlayStation 2 or an Xbox 360 does not have a keyboard, the game provides a method for communication within the game. The heads-up display in Final Fantasy XI consists of a log window, menus, and several game information elements. The log window at the bottom of the screen displays system messages, battle messages, and text input by other players. Players may choose to filter what appears in the log window. "Menus" allow the player to access different commands, status windows, and configuration options. The "action command menu" appears just above the log window and gives the player several options to interact with the game world. Several menu options are available through the use of keyboard shortcuts, as well. Square Enix also allows players to communicate by text messaging with people playing the game online.
Basic gameplay
Gameplay in Final Fantasy XI consists of two major components: missions, through which the main storyline of the game is told, and quests, which do not advance the main storyline, but fill out the game's fantasy world.Missions are undertaken to advance in rank, access new areas, gain new privileges and advance the various storylines. Each nation and expansion has its own set of missions and quests, which a player must complete to advance in rank; a player may only complete missions for his home country. Quests may be undertaken for various rewards and fame. At release, over one hundred quests were available to play and new quests are added frequently.
Battles in Final Fantasy XI take place in the same world in which players move around, unlike previous Final Fantasy games in which a battle would take place in a new screen. Monsters within the game operate under a system of "claim" and "enmity". A monster is "claimed" the moment a player performs any offensive action upon it, including physical or magical attacks or offensive job abilities. With some exceptions, once a monster is "claimed" it can only be attacked by players in the party or alliance of the player that claimed it. A monster will focus its attention on whomever has built up the most enmity. Players have several means at their disposal, from spells to abilities to items, to build up enmity and shed it to their advantage in battle. Players obtain in-game money known as gil by defeating a type of monster called Beastmen, though, unlike previous Final Fantasy games, this monster leaves only small amounts.
Unlike many MMORPGs, there is no way to attack other players. However, since 2004, several ways of competing with other players have been added. The system of player competition is known as "Conflict", and occurs only with the permission of both players.The first form of competition was called "Ballista", in which players scored points by throwing rocks into a castle-like structure known as a "Rook". In February 2006, a second form of competition was released called "Brenner", in which players steal the opposing team's flames and place them in a container on their own side. By maintaining these flames, points are awarded which determine the winner. New battle events have also been introduced including "Salvage", "Einherjar", and "Pankration". Square Enix has also instituted a "marriage ceremony" for those who wish to do so (same-sex couplings are not permitted).
Characters
The five playable races in Final Fantasy XI are Elvaan - strong melee fighters, reasonable healers but weak in black magic; Hume - a race resembling humans, with no notable strengths or weaknesses; Galka - an asexual race resembling males (they reproduce through reincarnation), strong and tough, but weak with magic; Mithra - cat-like humanoids, of which only the females are playable characters, agile and dexterous, but lacking in charisma; and Tarutaru - tiny humanoids with incredible power over magic, but physically weak.In addition to the player races, there are two primary non-playable races known as the Zilart, an ancient race which is the focus of the first two game expansions, and the Kuluu, a race of beings similar to the Zilart and thought to be inferior to it. There is also a huge supporting cast of NPCs who give quests and missions and appear in the game's storylines. The game features several typical Final Fantasy monsters, including races such as the Goblin, Orc, Yagudo, and Quadav. Some of these creatures follow the Shadow Lord, a source of the game's conflict
Story
Players begin the game as residents of one of these three main countries, San d'Oria, Bastok and Windurst, and must help band the nations together against the resurrected Shadow Lord.
The expansion Rise of the Zilart reveals that the Crystal War and the resurrection of the Shadow Lord had been masterminded by the Zilart princes Eald'Narche and Kam'lanaut, who survived the extinction of their race. The two Zilarts plan to become Gods by opening the path to paradise, and the player is charged with thwarting their plans.
Chains of Promathia revolves around the dead Twilight God Promathia, who had originally cursed the Zilart race, and the attempts of various factions to either complete or stop his resurrection. The wyrmking Bahamut is involved in these events, and intends to destroy Vana'diel to prevent Promathia from absorbing the life of the world.
Treasures of Aht Urhgan concerns the Empire of Aht Urhgan which opens up to the nations of Vana'diel. As a new and powerful nation, it is of concern to the nation of the player, who is sent as a representative. The player then becomes embroiled in the intrigues of the Empresses court, and the growing fears of war and darkness coming to Aht Urhgan.
Wings of the Goddess primarily occurs in the era of the Crystal War, 20 years in the past from the main Final Fantasy XI setting. Players discover and cross mysterious time portals, and are led to help the Regal Feline Cait Sith reduce the suffering of the era. The Wings of the Goddess storyline is still ongoing as of 2008.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console.Alongside Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, the game is a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII compilation. Unveiled at E3 2006, the game focuses on a mysterious protagonist who is the last heir of a dynasty ruling over the only remaining city to control crystals. Under unforeseen circumstances, he makes a stand against marauders seeking to take the crystal as their own.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII; is, according to its developers, a wholly independent story unfolding with different characters and a different visual design. And, although it is set within the same Final Fantasy XIII universe, it is unrelated to any other entry within the compilation and is thus neither a sequel nor a prequel to any other entries in Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII.
Gameplay
Unlike its Fabula Nova Crystallis counterpart - Final Fantasy XIII, there is scarcely any information surrounding the gameplay and battle system of Final Fantasy Versus XIII because no formal footage has been shown by Square Enix of the gameplay online or within video game magazines.
Within recent Japanese gaming magazine interviews, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that Versus XIII's gameplay will be a realistic derivation of Kingdom Hearts battle system with some elements of a third-person shooter - similar to Square Enix's Dirge of Cerberus. Nomura has also stated that the game will stave off the light and magical aesthetic of his previous directorial games (i.e. Kingdom Hearts) and opt for a darker, bleaker world that is intended to counter previous Final Fantasy installments. In formulating a realistic world, Nomura has stated that he wants the characters to be "believable" and thus realistic. As a testament towards his desire for realism; in the PlayStation Premier trailer, in contrast to previous Final Fantasy titles, Versus XIII had a greater display of graphic violence with an instance of blood.
Nomura has also stated in Dengeki PlayStation 2 that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of the CGI film, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.
Characters
he protagonist of Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a young man with dark bluish-silver hair and crimson eyes. However, the color of both his eyes and his hair have been shown to change during battle, and Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that the color changes are both intentional and significant.It has been confirmed that he is the last heir to the dynasty ruling over the last kingdom to control Crystals. He attempts to protect his kingdom against marauders who seek to conquer the city and take the Crystals by force. Nomura has compared the protagonist's family to the modern-day Japanese mafia, or Yakuza.
The protagonist wields multiple weapons as seen in both the E3 2006 and the PlayStation Premier trailers. The weapons that he wields range from swords to spears to lances. As seen through the trailers, he can control them with telekinesis (through the power of the Crystal), and he has been seen using them for both attack and defense. Nomura has stated that each weapon will have a different usage and is not directly limited by normal standards of attack; in other words, some weapons will also be usable as shields (as seen in the trailers).[10] The protagonist has also demonstrated the ability to teleport, though it is unknown what role this skill will have in the actual gameplay.
Three characters have been revealed in video game magazine, Famitsu. The first character is a man with light brown hair and glasses who is seen wearing a suit and driving the protagonist's car. The second character is a man with dark brown hair and a scar on the left side of his face. The third character is a blonde haired man carrying a shotgun, despite a ban on firearms in his country. These three characters are often seen with the protagonist and appear to be his friends.
A blonde girl who has been shown opposite the prince is described as an unfortunate enemy to him. Famitsu and other sources claim that the two do not desire to fight each other, but they are forced to. She wields a rapier and is a confirmed enemy, though her allegiances are still under suspicion.
Another character, wearing all white (possibly a symbolic contrast to the protagonist's darker clothing), has been introduced as well. This character is seen facing off with the protagonist in a building near the protagonist's castle as they both cast spells at each other, implying that they are enemies.[citation needed]
Mysterious soldiers have been featured in the trailers as well. These unknown warriors wear medievally-styled armor but also carry assault rifles resembling modern automatic weapons. It is known that some of these soldiers are marauders trying to take the crystals as their own.
Another man, older than the protagonist and dressed in a business suit, appears sitting at the head of a long table as a chairman during a meeting with several other men. Because he has the same eyes as the protagonist, it is speculated that the two are related.
Final Fantasy Agito XIII is a video game for mobile phones which, alongside Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, makes up the compilation Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII so far. The game is not a sidestory to Final Fantasy XIII; it is part of one story which will have shared themes and mythos around which all the Final Fantasy XIII games will be centered. Agito is Latin for "to put in motion,", which may be a reference to the game's platform. While a release outside of Japan has not been announced, Hajime Tabata is trying to appeal to the North American players in his direction of the game.
Plot
The game's plot is thought to be "massive" and is still being "finalized" as of June 2008.The game is set in a magic school named Akademia, and will gradually expand to the larger world outside of the school. It is described as an online RPG, but not "massively multiplayer"
Characters
Twelve characters have been revealed so far, all appearing to be students. Their weapons include a longsword, a katana, handguns, a shotgun, a mace, a bow and arrow, a spear, a scythe, an extending flail, bare fists, a flute, and a deck of Tarot cards. The Moogle, a character that has appeared in previous Final Fantasy games, is not - but is commonly mistaken to be - the 13th character.The character with the deck of cards has been revealed to have a greater importance than the other characters (shown in a pamphlet at the 2006 Tokyo Game Show).
Development
The decision to create Final Fantasy Agito XIII was made after the other two Final Fantasy XIII had already been decided upon, and was made in response to the popularity of the mobile phone game Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII.It was then decided to make it exclusive to mobile phones.Unveiled at E³ '06, the game "[offers] players easy on-the-go access to the Final Fantasy XIII universe.Utilizing gameplay functions only available through mobile phones, this title provides players with a unique take on a story accessible anywhere their real-life adventures may take them."Currently developers are planning a release on the next generation of cell phones as they currently cannot offer all the capabilities they need.An issue developers have grappled with is whether or not to make the command buttons used in the game visible or not.The game is in development with the idea of making it a "full-fledged" numbered game".
Final Fantasy XIII is an upcoming console role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 3 in Japan, North America and Europe, and announced at E3 2008 for the Xbox 360 in North America and Europe. First appearing at E3 2006, the game features a futuristic, high-tech world, and a storyline focusing on "those who resist the world".
Final Fantasy XIII is the flagship title of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII collection. The game takes place in the same universe as Final Fantasy Agito XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, although they are not directly related to each other. Motomu Toriyama, who was Director of Final Fantasy X-2 and Director and Scenario Writer of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, will direct the game.
Battle system
The concept for Final Fantasy XIII's battle system is to maintain the strategic nature of command-based battles, while also including the excitement and speed found in real time battles. This system stemmed from a desire to create battles of the type found in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Like Final Fantasy XII, the battles will take place seamlessly on the field with no transitions to separate battle screens. The Active Time Battle system will return, but is expected to work very differently from how it did in previous installments in the series. Final Fantasy X battle director Toshiro Tsuchida will return as the battle system director for the game. He has the intent of giving individual enemies their own personalities and background stories.[8] He also replied with "no comment" when asked if players will be inputting commands for all party members, or if they'll just be in control of the current party leader.
In keeping with command-based battles, players input commands by selection through a reel on the bottom-left hand side of the screen. Each command has an ATB cost, which reduces the total ATB bar. Selected commands are placed on a row of upcoming moves, above the bar. As characters fight, each command is used in turn, with the current command in use turning yellow. Commands can be chained together for certain effects. The environment also plays a role in battle; for instance, Lightning has been seen sending a soldier into a light, electrocuting him and multiplying the damage.
A map is seen in the upper left hand corner of the battle screen, with blue dots representing allies and red dots signifying enemies. The dots emitting circles are the characters currently affected by the fighting.
The upper right-hand corner of the battle screen shows a circular-shaped gauge, representing the Overclock mode. When full, Overclocking allows the player to induce a slow-motion effect, almost pausing time for everything other than the player. Once Overclock is activated, a rapidly decreasing number appears inside the circular gauge, signifying the duration of the Overclock status. Some believe that this system may replace the traditional Limit Break system found in previous Final Fantasy games.
Summons
Summoning will also return in Final Fantasy XIII. Summons are shown as partly mechanical beings, and the possibility exists that they will be prominent both when in and out of battle. Shiva is one such summon that will be returning, and in Final Fantasy XIII, she takes the form of a pair of sisters who can merge into a motorcycle, which the unnamed blond male character has been shown to ride. Classic summons Ifrit, Siren and Carbuncle have also been featured in screenshots. Producers of the game have recently stated that Summons will appear in "Digital Form" although the full extent of what this means is still unknown
Characters
The full cast of Final Fantasy XIII is yet unknown; however the following characters have been shown in trailers and screenshots of the game, along with some released information.
Lightning
Character designer Tetsuya Nomura was asked to create a "female version of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII", and has described her as "not very feminine". Final Fantasy XIII's lead character is a young woman with strawberry blonde hair. She has been given an unknown task by a Crystal. Some sources say that she is leading a rebellion against Cocoon, while others say she is the enemy of humanity who will bring about the downfall of the world.
Her weapon can be transformed between a sword and a semi-automatic firearm at will. Lightning is able to use gravity as a tool and weapon, for instance, throwing a small 'gravity bomb' to disable enemies at the start of a battle. She also seems able to defy gravity completely with the use of two buttons on her finger (index and thumb). Once these buttons are tapped together, she can briefly manipulate gravity. Blue sparks run around her body at these times.[citation needed]
Blond-haired man
A blond, bandanna-wearing male who has been shown riding Shiva in her motorcycle form, wielding a gun. He is a big character, capable of running while carrying two people around. He was nicknamed "Mr 33 cm" by the staff of Final Fantasy XIII because of his shoe size.[18] He has been described as "cowboy like", and his relationship with Lightning as "unusual".[citation needed]
Red-haired girl
A female with red-brown hair who has been confirmed as a citizen of Pulse.[citation needed] Her weapon resembles a modernized bow
