From the FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team

Dear Vana'diel's Finest, (05/16/2016)

Today we celebrate fourteen years of FINAL FANTASY XI.



The past year brought about a flurry of activity, particularly the implementation of FINAL FANTASY XI's ultimate storyline, Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. More recently, PlayStation® 2 and Xbox 360® service terminated at the end of March. These and other landmarks were successfully passed because of the unwavering support of you and your friends, party members, and linkshell mates, and I have nothing but gratitude for your patronage.



As we enter our fifteenth year with a new development structure, we pledge to give our all on both the development and operations sides so that all can feel proud calling Vana'diel their second home.



I hope to continue to see your smiling faces for a long time to come.



While you're here, the team has a little surprise for you-Iroha has come to celebrate the 14th Vana'versary! Esteemed manga creator Tomokichi, whom you will remember from last year's Aloha Iroha, has created a wonderful series depicting our heroine from the Far East...along with a guest appearance by the one-and-only Zeid.

A Very Vexing Vana'versary

Aloha Iroha proved to be so popular with the player base that we've released another four-panel comic penned by Tomokichi. Enjoy!
