Gameplay

Main article: Gameplay of Final Fantasy XI

Final Fantasy XI is unlike previous titles in the series in many ways. The player is able to customize their characters in limited ways, including race, gender, face, hair color, body size, job, and allegiance. Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, all battles occur in real time, and enemies are no longer randomly encountered.^[3] The gameplay of Final Fantasy XI is unlike previous titles in the series in many ways. ...

There are 32 worlds (a cluster of servers) available for play, and one world used by Square-Enix. Server names use names of summons from previous Final Fantasy titles such as Ifrit and Diabolos. PC, PS2, and Xbox 360 players from across all geographic locations play together on the same servers. There are no region-specific servers, unlike other online games, such as World of Warcraft. {{Cleanup|date=March 20ungrateful!

Interface

Players have the option of using any combination of a keyboard, mouse, and controller to play Final Fantasy XI. If a player using PS2 or Xbox 360 does not have a keyboard, the game also provides a method for him or her to communicate within the game (although it would be significantly slower than having a hardware keyboard input). The heads-up display in "Final Fantasy XI" consists of a log window, menus, and several game information elements. The log window at the bottom of the screen displays system messages, battle messages, and text input by other players. Players may choose to filter what appears in the log window. "Menus" allow the player to access different commands, status windows, and configuration options. As well as the main menu, which contains the majority of the options for the game, the "action command menu" appears just above the log window and gives the player several options to interact with the game world. Several menu options are available through the use of keyboard shortcuts as well.^[4] A game controller is an input device used to control a video game. ...

Basic gameplay

Gameplay in Final Fantasy XI consists of two major components: quests, which do not advance the main storyline but fill out the game's fantasy world, and missions, through which the main storyline of the game is told.^[5] Quests may be undertaken for various rewards. Missions are undertaken to advance in rank, to access new areas and gain new privileges and to advance the various storylines in the game. Each nation has its own set of missions, which a player must complete to advance in rank; a player may only complete missions for his home country.

A quest in a gaming context, especially in MMORPGs, is generally a task or series of tasks, which a player or group of players may complete in order to gain a reward. ...

Battles in Final Fantasy XI take place in the same world in which players move around, unlike previous Final Fantasy games in which a battle would take place in a new screen. Monsters within the game operate under a system of "claim" and "enmity". A monster is "claimed" the moment a player performs any offensive action upon it, including but not limited to attacks, usage of offensive job abilities and casting an (offensive) spell. With some exceptions, once a monster is claimed it can only be attacked by players in the party or alliance of the player that claimed it. A monster will focus its attention on whoever has built up the most enmity. Players have a number of means at their disposal, from spells to abilities to items, to both build up enmity and shed it.

Although there was originally no system allowing players to compete in battle with each other, it was eventually added to the game. The Player vs. Player (PvP) system is known as Conflict. Players may only compete directly against one another under very specific circumstances. Conflict happens only in "matches" that players enter by their own consent; players cannot attack one another outside of these circumstances. There are two types of Conflict matches. In Ballista, the objective is to score points by throwing a rock, or "Petra," into a castle-like construction called a "Rook."^[6] In Brenner, a newer PvP type, players must steal the opposing team's flame and place them in "Flammen-Brenner" on their side. By maintaining these flames, points are awarded. The team with the most points by the end of the round is announced the winner.

Crafting and Hobbies

In addition to completing quests and missions, players can participate in several side activities or mini-games.^[3] Various means of item collection allow the player to retrieve items from the world. Harvesting produces items from plants, excavating produces bone items, logging produces varying kinds of wood and mining produces metal ores and uncut gemstones. Fishing in Final Fantasy XI is a sort of minigame where a player must measure their strength against the strength of fish that bite at their line. Gardening in Final Fantasy XI is when a player raises plants in their residence (also referred to as a mog house). Clamming is a minigame where players collect as many fish or sea creatures as possible without going over a limit predetermined by the size bucket they're carrying. Chocobo digging is when a player commands a bird called a chocobo to dig up items from random spots on the ground.

Final Fantasy XI has a fairly complex item creation system, in which players use elemental crystals obtained by fighting the various monsters to turn specific combinations of items into other items in a process called "synthesis". ^[7] Also, unlike World of Warcraft, each synthesis has a chance of failure (which can be reduced by increasing the skill related to the recipe but cannot be eliminated) while most recipes have a small chance to produce a high-quality item (this chance is increased by increasing the skill related to the recipe; high quality items generally have better stats), which also means that the risk-reward factor on certain items are extremely high. Different recipes, using different classes of ingredients and different craft skills, will produce different types of items. There are nine types of crafting skills; some recipes requires a player to have two or even three skills at certain levels for the player to be able to even attempt to synthesize the item. Other recipes also call for additional key items that a player must possess in order to be able to create certain items.

Game Economy

Final Fantasy XI has an almost entirely player-based economy with a heavy reliance on "Auction Houses" in each of the major cities of Vana'diel. The only monsters in the game that drop any in-game currency known as gil when defeated are the Beastmen, humanoids which fight against player characters. However, Beastmen drop very small amounts of gil, meaning that unlike other games in the Final Fantasy series, it is impossible to make much money merely by slaughtering monsters. Various items used in crafting, as well as sometimes extremely rare items, may drop off the monsters that are defeated. Although the game economy is mostly in the hands of the players, there are certain economic controls in place. Money may go to a non-player character (NPC), as when players purchase items from NPC merchants or rent certain forms of transportation. A fee is charged to place items up for auction at the Auction House and in certain cities. Players making purchases from player-run "bazaars" within these cities are taxed a percentage of the item's set price. Since transportation, auction house and tax fees do not go to players, these gilsinks effectively remove money from the economy. Though each Final Fantasy story is independent, many themes and elements of gameplay recur throughout the series. ... An NPC from the video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. ...

The world of Final Fantasy XI is known as "Vana'diel". It consists of two main landmasses with two smaller islands flanking them, which in turn are surrounded by small islands. It features diverse climates, ranging from the northern glaciers to the southern deserts.^[8] The four main cities in Vana'diel are Bastok, San d'Oria, Windurst, and Jeuno. The expansion Treasures of Aht Urhgan added the large Aht Urhgan Whitegate/Al Zahbi city area. The rest of Vana'diel is made up of a number of outdoor, dungeon, and minor town areas split into various regions. While most areas are accessible by walking, various modes of transportation, ranging from the classic Final Fantasy chocobo and airships to special spells, facilitate movement across the game world.^{[citation needed]} Map of Vanadiel Vanadiel ) is the fictional world in which Square Enixs massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Final Fantasy XI, is set. ...

The five playable races in Final Fantasy XI are Elvaan, strong melee fighters, reasonable healers but weak in black magic; Hume, a race resembling humans, with no notable strengths or weaknesses; Galka, a genderless race, strong and tough, but weak with magic; Mithra, agile and dexterous, but physically weak, cat-like humanoids of which only the females of the race are playable characters and Tarutaru, tiny humanoids with incredible power over black magic, but physically weak.^[3]

In addition to the player races, there are two primary non-playable races known as the Zilart, an ancient race which is the focus of the first two game expansions, and the Kuluu, a race of beings similar to the Zilart and thought to be inferior to it. There is also a huge supporting cast of NPCs who give quests and missions and appear in the game's storylines. The game features several typical Final Fantasy monsters as well as Beastmen, which includes races such as the Goblin, Orc, Yagudo, and Quadav.

The Dynamis storylines are unique in that the storyline progresses through clearing special Dynamis zones, not through completing missions as with the other storylines in the game (although due to the nature of the Dynamis storyline, players must have other storylines advanced to a certain point in order to start it). There are also numerous sub-plots that players can experience while solving the hundreds of quests available in the game.

Development

After the English localization of Chrono Cross, development began on Final Fantasy XI.^[10] The Japanese game players were told to expect English speaking players, since the game makers intended to create a unified game world instead of different ones balkanized by language.^[11] This development allowed for a 66% reduction of potential costs in setup.^[12] Chrono Cross ) is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation video game console. ...
