Description
In FINAL FANTASY XI, players are immersed in an expansive, original storyline as they embark on missions and build up their character’s skills and attributes, either alone or with other members of the online community, ultimately creating the history of an expansive world called Vana’diel. Vana’diel will provide players with multiple adventures through vast environments ranging from mountains, forests, ice plains, deserts, oceans, rivers, castles and dungeons. Vana’diel is a truly a persistent world that continues to evolve and develop, even when gamers are not playing, and is composed of three unique nations: the Republic of Bastok, the Kingdom of San d’Oria, and the Federation of Windurst. With the ability to create unique characters, encompassing a variety of races, facial features, size, hair-styles, and attributes, players will be able to play at their own pace and form parties with other players while embarking on multiple adventures.
