A special Final Fantasy XI box will be released in Japan on September the 26th. The retail price will be at 7900¥ (or around $66.00 US). Square has not confirmed what will be included in the package as of yet, but it is assumed that it will be the latest build of Final Fantasy XI as well as the latest upgraded version of PlayOnline. This should enable gamers to avoid the downloads that current players have been subjected to on a fairly regular basis.
Square's first foray into the online world has been met with mixed success in Japan thus far, where the game has been slowly building in popularity, but has also been periodically troubled by bugs and server errors. The US version of Final Fantasy XI will be released sometime next year. Still no news about a european release.
