Final Fantasy XI is an Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) where you enter the world of Vana’diel as an adventurer ready to make your mark on the world along with thousands of other adventurers helping you along the way, joining 1 of 3 home nations, Bastok the smallest of the 3 nations but the heart of technology in Vana’Diel at the peak of its industrial revolution with its top engineer Cid. Bastok is home to the race of Humes and Galkas however there has been rivalry between the 2 for generations, however the Mythril Musketeers help to keep the peace among the land. The second being the great Kingdom of San’doria a mighty city of the proud race of Elvaans, much like the Kingdom of King Arthur Knights help keep the peace in this land. The third city is a mystical one and home of the small mages the Tarutaru and the loyal female felines the Mithra, as is expected of a home nation full of these two races the land is one of mystical and natural, full of trees and a lovely river flowing through its core, but also full of mystical buildings and teleports to help you get around this huge city.

Your adventuring life will start out as 1 of 6 classes, what will you be, perhaps go on the side of power and master of all weapons, the warrior; train yourself in the arts of hand to hand combat and become a monk; become agile and quick becoming a thief; learn the ways of the sword and magic and become a red mage; train yourself to control the elements and harness its great power and become a black mage; or perhaps become one with your fellow man and learn the arts of the white mage healing all that you can.

Of course as an adventurer you are not limited to one you can diverse yourself to another learning each and every skill you can to become the greatest adventurer and eventually get your hands on many other powers like learning the beasts moves from the island to the east blue mage; tame all the beasts in the wild and become the powerful beastmaster or even learn the arts of dance and harness its excellence in battle all these and more are waiting for you in the world of Vana’diel.

It is the time of the adventurer in Vana’Diel and as such you will be asked for many a request from adventurer and noble alike. Perhaps you will help your home nation in its troubles and the fear of the awakening of the Shadowlord whose power earged almost complete destruction to the nations just 20 years past. You will also find yourself stumbling among the strange but wonderful constructions the crags, but on further inspection discover disturbing truths and amazing sights visiting the Chains of Promythia, where you struggle to stop the Celestial Avatars destroying the world to fulfill a pact that was made between them and the ancient race of the Zilart 20000 years ago. With this you can find the mysteries between this ancient race in Rise of the Zilart. There is also great waters where you can wonder on great vessels and airships created by the master engineer Cid, one of these places is that of Art Urgan far to the east home of pirates, mages and Puppetmasters, ruled by the Empress and home of the great mystical item the Astral Candescence. This is also home of the mercenary group Salaheems Sentinals, run by a strict Mithra named Naja, if you decide to join this mercenary group you may find more than you bargained for when you have to defend the city from the constant attack from the beastmen advances, but is everything as it seems its yours to find out. One of the newest mysteries of Vana’Diel is the appearance of strange devices known as Cavernous Maws, devices not seen before but seem to suck you in to spit you out 20 years in the past to the time of the Crystal War, where the 3 nations once enemies are having to pull forces to create the allied forces against the struggles of the first encounter with the Shadowlord, his great power and ability to control all beastmen to do his biddings, what are these strange devices and how have they come to be, perhaps it has something to do with a strange cat, and what is to happen to the timeline if we adventurers start to mess with things there.
