German and French versions of Final Fantasy XI

At the Games Convention Leipzig 2006, attendees will get an exclusive chance to play the localized versions of Final Fantasy XI.

The convention lasts from August 23 to 27th, with the FFXI Arena in Hall 5. People will get a chance to play the German and French versions of FFXI, available for the PC, PS2, and XBox 360.

This is unique, as FFXI is the first MMORPG to extend over three platforms, and the first MMORPG on the Xbox 360. Not only are MMORPGs becoming more diversified in mediums available, but also in languages. FFXI can be played in Japanese, English, French and German, allowing it to appeal to wider audiences, who can play together online.

Also at the convention, players will be able to meet the development team and join in various competitions on and offline. In Vana'diel, there will be new quests for prizes, and at the convention, there will be a Final Fantasy Costume Contest on August 2006.
