Square Enix Opens Final Fantasy XI 20-Year Anniversary Digital Fan Art Gallery

In commemoration of Final Fantasy XI’s 20-year anniversary, Square Enix has opened a digital gallery housing artwork from fans worldwide. Further, each provided illustration is accompanied by comments from the artists describing their intentions and memories with this classic MMO. In total, there are 20 illustrations to peruse.

Final Fantasy XI is undoubtedly one of the most overlooked mainline entries in the franchise, so it’s genuinely heartwarming to see it receive adoration two decades following its initial debut.

• Final Fantasy XV has been confirmed to have sold over 10 million units worldwide.
• Final Fantasy XVI has been confirmed to be receiving a trailer soon, likely next month.

Staff working from home has made communication more of an arduous process, leading to delayed responses. Most of 2021 was spent addressing these issues, and the Final Fantasy XVI staff team aims to optimize the game as much as possible. The graphic quality, combat mechanics, cutscenes, and more will be the main focused points.

• In December last year, producer Naoki Yoshida announced that Final Fantasy XVI had been delayed by roughly half a year due to pandemic complications.
• Koji Fox is handling Final Fantasy XVI’s English localization.
