Final Fantasy XI (ファイナルファンタジーXI Fainaru Fantajī Irebun), 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. Designed and produced by Hiromichi Tanaka, it was released in Japan on May 16, 2002, for Sony's PlayStation 2, and for Microsoft's Windows-based personal computers in November of that year. The game was the first cross-platform MMORPG and the Xbox 360's first MMORPG.[3] All versions of the game require a monthly subscription to play.[4]
The story is set in the fantasy world of Vana'diel, where player-created avatars
can both compete and cooperate in a variety of objectives to develop an
assortment of jobs, skills, and earn in-game item rewards. Players can
also undertake an array of quests and progress through the in-game
hierarchy and thus through the major plot of the game. Since its debut
in 2002, five expansion packs have also been released[5] along with six add-on scenarios. Each expansion pack and add-on brings a new major storyline to the Final Fantasy XI world, along with numerous areas, quests, events and item rewards.
In 2006, between 200,000 and 300,000 active players logged in per day, and the game was the dominant MMORPG in Japan.[6] In 2008 Square Enix noted that Final Fantasy XI had a strong user base of around 500,000 subscribers,[7] and in April 2009, announced that the total number of active characters exceeded 2 million for the first time.[8] Square Enix president Yoichi Wada announced in June 2012 that Final Fantasy XI had become the most profitable title in the Final Fantasy series.[9]
