Final Fantasy XI

Final Fantasy XI Online is the franchise's first MMORPG as well as the eleventh installment in the main series. Due to the nature of online RPGs, FFXI differs in that the player is not the only hero. Instead, each player creates a customizable character and adventures through the world of Vana'diel with other players, leveling up, exploring, completing missions, quests, and much more. Leveling up requires a group of people working together in what is called a Party, with each participant contributing their own skills to help take down a foe and gain Experience points. Battles occur in real-time. When you create a character you choose one of five races, Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra or Galka, and a starting job such as Warrior, Monk, White Mage or Black Mage. Jobs can be changed at your home in the world, and a character can also equip a second job as a sub job. Story missions are tied to the three nations that serve as starting cities, and expansions add further areas and storylines. Players can join linkshells, which are chat groups for friends and organized teams.
