The Game: Final Fantasy XI was a game created by SquareEnix back in 2002. The game, which is the company's first MMORPG, was (supposedly) the first MMORPG to truly mix the Japanese and American gaming communities into one. Of course, this sounds good on paper- the game, to date, tkaes over one day to install (thanks to a huge array of updates) and I personally cannot stand more than ten minutes over it before I delete the whole damn thing.

The Fashion: Horrible grindfest be damned, Final Fantasy XI is an aesthetically pleasing masterpiece. Starting with some post-Medieval armor styles (specifically some French inspiration, very The Count of Monte Cristo) and expounds upon it with bright color and interesting ideas. Armor isn't just armor in FFXI- it's interesting and unique, if not sometimes a little ridiculous.
