FINAL FANTASY XI is now available for the PlayStation2 and comes preinstalled with the purchase of the internal hard disk drive! Adventure with over half a million players spanning different countries and platforms in the most open-ended FINAL FANTASY ever created! In FINAL FANTASY XI, you create your own character by selecting your race, job, gender, face, and body size. The combinations are unlimited. There are five races (Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra, Galka) and six initial jobs (warrior, monk, white mage, black mage, and red mage) to choose from. Many other jobs exist as well. You can change your job any time, and eventually gain the ability to select a support job. With a support job, you can effectively "hold two jobs at once." Want to be a warrior who can cast white magic? How about a monk with black magic? With support jobs, the combinations are endless! As your adventures progress, you may find that new jobs become available. Why not try your hand at learning the ways of the bard, ranger, or beastmaster? Quests are specific requests from individuals, shops, or organizations, and you may accept or decline as you wish. The conditions for most quests are fairly loose, and typically do not require you to have a specific job level, ability, or allegiance. Quests rarely result in worthwhile monetary gain, but the trust and respect that your character will gain are priceless. In a mission, your character is temporarily hired to solve a problem that is troubling your nation, and you will be compensated accordingly. The specific content of missions ranges from odd jobs to top-secret operations. With higher levels come increased trust and the opportunity to undertake important missions with great rewards... and high stakes. Communicating with players around the world is one of the most enjoyable features of any online game. There are plenty of ways to express yourself and chat with others in FINAL FANTASY XI. Bow to a friendly player or wave to say goodbye to a comrade. In FINAL FANTASY XI, players can express emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness through character motions. You can enjoy the game alone, but as you progress in your adventures in Vana'diel, many powerful monsters await you. You will need a group of allies if you want to survive. Form parties to enjoy an entirely new level of play! A party can hold a maximum of 6 players, but some monsters are too powerful for a single party to defeat. Alliances, consisting of a maximum of 3 parties, or 18 players, can be formed to battle such powerful foes. Many methods of transportation are available to help adventurers travel between the nations of Vana'diel. Some have made appearances in previous FINAL FANTASY titles, like airships, chocobos, and ferries.
