EU version of Final Fantasy XI 2008 hits stores May 28th

Square Enix has announced that they plan on releasing the 2008 edition of Final Fantasy XI at the end of this month on May 28th. The box will come with the original game plus every expansion released to date. That means players will get Final Fantasy XI, Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan, and Wings of the Goddess all in one purchase.

This is nothing new from Square Enix, as they've done this the past couple of years. We would just like to thank them for keeping all the expansions purchasable in a single box, as it makes things a lot easier on newer players trying to get into the game -- or even returning players who've lost their original boxes.

Update: May 28th is actually the release date for the EU version of Final Fantasy XI 2008 Edition. The US version of this bundle was released on April 15th, 2008.

I believe this may be for our friends over in the EU. You can already find the 360 Version of the Vana'Diel Collection '08 here in the US.

You are correct, Effluo. Thanks for the tip!

Me and a group of 3 other friends were trying out various MMOs since we were bored with our current ones (I got tired of hearing about WoW all day) so we all bought this.

A day later we all uninstalled. I'd probably have more fun watching $40 being flushed down the toilet than trying to play this game again. Ah well... just wasn't for me I suppose.

It's a shame that you only gave it a few days of testing. FFXI takes some time to get into.

It also really differs and stands out from other MMORPGs in my opinion.
