Final Fantasy XI is going to be released for the pleasure of European PC gamers this coming September, according to a recent announcement from Square Enix. Due to be distributed in Europe by Ubisoft, the PC package will contain both the FFXI expansion packs: Rise Of Zilart and Chains Of Promathia as well as the Tetra Master mini-game.
The likelihood of FFXI receiving any kind of PAL release had previously been in doubt, so this confirmation represents positive news for European-based Square Enix fans. However, thus far there have been no audible murmurings with regards to the Playstation 2 version of the massively multiplayer online RPG. And as long as Sony denies the PAL region access to PS2 HDDs, such an announcement seems unlikely. If it does happen, we’ll keep you informed.
