Final Fantasy XI coming to PS3
May 28th, 2009 by Colin Temple
News comes from Japan that Square Enix will bring its long-running MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI, to the Sony PlayStation 3.
Final Fantasy XI began in Japan in 2002, and in North America in 2003. It’s been released for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), Windows PC and, most recently, the Xbox 360. FFXI has always been a cross-platform title, with players being able to use any of the three platforms, and even switch between them, within the same persistent world. The PS3 version is expected to provide the same feature, and bring the high-definition graphics provided in the Xbox 360 version.
No specific date has been set for the release. More on this as it comes.

Hmm, it’s a nice addition which makes it more available, but honestly my internet is like twice as fast on my pc so i’d much rather just buy it on this. ^^

Buy the PS3 version, download the pc version (hay torrents!), then play on whichever you want to that day.

Can’t wait, as the ps2 version played on the ps3 sucks.
This should be a sweet improvement!

So uhh… I was reading up on FFXI a while ago (something about the lv cap going to 99…) and started thinking about getting FFXI on my PS3 Slim, since it is not possible for the Slim to read PS2 games… I obviously looked up if there was a PS3 version coming out, and saw this!
BUT… this is what, a year old???????? Any more news??? Really need to know cause I can’t get FFXIV for PC cause I have vista home premium and I don’t think it’ll run very good at all on it, well that and all the new FFXI stuff really got my attention.
Anyone………….?

Sorry, but this was cancelled. Why isn’t FFXI working on your Vista? I’ve run it on Home Premium before, you just need to download the Vista version of PlayOnline.
