I present to you RRPG's Final Fantasy Retrospective!

For this time around, Hironobu Sakaguchi and Square Enix decided to stray away from doing another traditional installment as they wanted to experiment in a new direction for Final Fantasy's eleventh, mainline entry. Being derived as an evolution of MUDs that became popular in older computers during the 70s and 80s, that genre would evolve itself into Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games which Richard Garriott's own Ultima Online started that movement. After Sony Online Entertainment's own EverQuest came out and revolutionized the genre further by making it the first MMORPG to be in 3D, Final Fantasy XI would be conceived by taking inspirations from EverQuest while adding in the Final Fantasy series' own flavor to make it an important game in the history of role-playing games. What came about was more a divisive experience than mostly an overwhelmingly, positive experience as Final Fantasy XI would be followed by mostly a vocal minority. It would continue to be around for over 15 years as five expansions and seven add-on scenarios kept it alive for the game's most faithful to come back to the fictional world of Vana'diel on a daily basis. It is time that RRPG takes a look at Final Fantasy XI and everything that covers the game as Episode 8 of his Final Fantasy Retrospective is live! Enjoy as this episode was a truly arduous and challenging episode to put together!

Special Thanks to the people of the GhostRiders Linkshell group in Final Fantasy XI who helped RRPG make this episode of his Final Fantasy Retrospective possible! Without your guidance, this episode would not be released.

Hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for watching!

-UPDATE-
Someone pointed this out in the comments, but I wanted to make a clarification that I forgot to post in the video. Some of the features in the game when I was talking about Final Fantasy XI in its original state did not become available until much later on like Trusts and Adventuring Fellows of that matter. Again, I wanted to make a correction on that.

Thanks to The Nostalgic Gamer for the inspiration!
