The FFXI page on wikipedia has featured status for today

[raginbull]

It has since today started, but I only just noticed. I guess it's to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the game's Japanese launch. The page itself isn't very interesting but it was a nice little trip down memory lane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI

10.5 years and what do I have to show for it?!
Oh, cheap entertainment I suppose.

I came to this thread because whoever is tweeting is doing their job.

Can't believe the game's been around for 11 years. Then again, I started in 2004 so I guess not that hard after all.

"Final Fantasy XI is the most representative title of the Final Fantasy series, according to producer Hiromichi Tanaka."

No, that'd be Final Fantasy VII.

No, that'd be Final Fantasy VII.

A game with an awfully convoluted story, including a stereotypical main character, and unimpressive gameplay that was already outclassed by other JRPGs released at and around the same time? That doesn't sound like a great representative at all.

I don't want to turn this into another lame "which ff was best?" discussion, but I also don't want to let this opportunity pass without pointing out that FFVI was the best FF of all time.

Of all time!

The Sketch glitch is the best glitch.

do ho ho isnt that the perfect way to describe the ff franchise

"Final Fantasy XI is the most representative title of the Final Fantasy series, according to producer Hiromichi Tanaka."

No, that'd be Final Fantasy VII.

The statement makes sense if you consider what the original intent behind FFXI was- it was representing the most iconic elements of Final Fantasy in an online game, hence the ridiculous grindy difficulty at the game's launch, the original six jobs from FF1, etc.

The only problem with FF 7 was that I played 2 way better RPGs that same year.

FF tactics and the amazing panzer dragoon saga, It truly was a special game introducing game mechanics I had never seen before in a game
I would tell everyone to jump out and go try it but 1st generation 3d hasn't aged so gracefully unfortunately
