When Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XI would be a MMORPG it seemed like the inevitable had finally happened. The result is a game that manages to add a number of unique elements while not deferring from what has now become the expected EverQuest styling.

Just like in every other MMORPG the first thing you have to do when you start playing Final Fantasy XI is create your character, unfortunately though you aren’t presented with as many options as you’d expect as you are only able to choose your characters race, size, face, hair colour and class. While this limited amount of options serves its purpose it can result in you creating less individual character then you would be able to create in other MMORPG’s.
