If the story aspect is as robust as claimed, FFXI could turn into a major treat for RPG fans. Set in the new world of Vana-diel, Kurosawa described the story to be focused on classic noble Final Fantasy themes such as goodness, friendship, and honor in action packed, world-altering circumstances. He also mentioned airships will be in the game (yup). With its persistent world, numerous features, and pedigree, it looks to be a strong entry in the MMORPG field.
