OVERVIEW

  The first Final Fantasy to be played as an MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI (or Final Fantasy Online) has been a huge hit with players.  Several expansion packs have been released to add to the world of Vana'diel, and a new sequel has just been annouced.



STORYLINE

  The world of Vana’diel is a crossroads of magic, swords, and technology. It is also a battlefield where those who believe in light face monsters that thrive in darkness. The struggle centers on the control of crystals: sacred stones that are the fundamental source of all creation.

  The monsters showed no mercy as they laid waste to beautiful towns, ravaged the land, and polluted the streams and rivers of Vana’diel. But the people united to seize victory from the jaws of the beastmen, earning themselves temporary respite from a life-and-death struggle.

  Twenty years have passed since the people’s great victory. But now, even as the memories of battle have begun to fade, a new evil grows inside Vana’diel...

  And it hungers for the power of the crystals.



PROLOGUE

  The world of Vana D'iel thrives on the power of the crystals, which provide protection from dangerous monsters. Those days are coming to an end; for some reason, monsters have begun to reappear near cities, endangering citizens of every nation. Investigate the cause of these appearances, taking up various quests and finding more information. Create your own story in this vast world of infinite possbilities...
