Product Description: In Final Fantasy XI, PlayStation 2 and PC players can create communities, as well as alter-egos that can be completely customized by race, sex, nation of origin, trade skill specialties, and numerous other physical traits. These communities co-exist in the world of Vanadiel. Users can immerse themselves in an expansive, original storyline that eventually builds the worlds history. Vanadiel is made up of vast, never-ending environments with more than 100 areas to explore. It is composed of three unique nations--one of which players choose to inhabit--and once players start their adventure, they may congregate, chat and do battle with the forces of evil, creating Vanadiels history through these interactions. Communication tools have been incorporated into Final Fantasy XI to assist in interaction between players, including easy-to-use chat and messaging systems. Once online, you can join parties with other PS2 players--and even players of the PC edition of the game. Final Fantasy XI allows gamers to live in a truly persistent world that changes and evolves every time a player logs on. The first truly trans-Pacific game experience online with no barriers with either platform or geography. Personal computer and console gamers can play aside each other in this new world whether they are in the U.S. or Japan.
