Sometimes a game comes along that truly captures the imagination of the game purchasing crowd. Usually, it is because the game has its fingers on the pulse of pop culture. In the case of Final Fantasy XI, the game has a number of aspects to it that make it supremely appealing.
Creating Unique Characters
One of the most appealing aspects of the Final Fantasy XI game is the fact that it allows for complete development of original characters. In other words, you can craft the appearance of the character to fit your own personal whims and this can help you craft the personality of the persona you are developing for game play. This has a number of psychological benefits as it truly allows the player to develop a tailor made alter ego for the purposes of game play. For many, the donning of a persona provides a unique segue out of the mundane nature of "regular" life and the ability to craft a character to one's personal desires makes Final Fantasy XI a great game.
Achieving Rank
One of the other popular aspects of the game is the fact that it allows a player to advance in rank as they achieve their goals in a series of missions. Now, some may not understand why the expansion of rank in the series is important. But, for many, it is a sign of achievement and it allows players to follow a certain external goal. Granted, some players may not have a desire for these external goals but many other players of Final Fantasy XI find it interesting and well worth pursuing.
The World of the Story
Another popular aspect of the game is the fact that it exists in a compelling environment that creates a unique and wondrous world. Often, it is the world of the story that attracts people to the game because leaving the boorish world of real life existence to one that is uniquely crafted has a certain appeal to it. As such, the unique world of the story in which Final Fantasy XI makes it quite the compelling game to participate.
