Final Fantasy XI (ファイナルファンタジーXI, Fainaru Fantajī Irebun?), also known as Final Fantasy XI: Online or simply Final Fantasy Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. It debuted in Japan on the Sony PlayStation 2 on May 16, 2002 and was released for Microsoft Windows-based personal computers on November 5 of the same year. It was then localized and released for the North American market on October 28, 2003. An Xbox 360 version was released worldwide in April 2006 as the system's first MMORPG.[1] The story is set in Vana'diel, where various tasks can be performed to improve a character's powers or to complete quests.

In January 2004, Square Enix announced that a total of over 500,000 users utilizing over 1 million characters were playing the game. As of 2006 there are currently between 200,000 and 300,000 active players logging in per day (see Reception) and the game is the dominant MMORPG in the Japanese market.[2] Three expansions for the game have been released since 2002, capitalizing on the game's success.
