Final Fantasy XI is described by its producer Hiromichi Tanaka as the most FFXI Gil of all the installments, strongly influenced by the early Square release Final Fantasy III, and one can easily see its influence in Final Fantasy XI. FFXI Gil first MMORPG featured a huge amount of features new to the genre, whilst building and improving on most of the staples set by others.
One of the most well known features of the game is the multi lingual servers which, instead of giving each region a server, meant that players could play together from all over the world. Not only did this create a truly worldwide community, but also reduced costs of the development of the game by 66%. This did create some small problems though as Final Fantasy XI Gil did not have a worldwide release which meant that once it was released in North America most of the players had already completed the majority of the quests and the game was generally unbalanced. To solve this problem though, Square created new servers which did not feature an already evolved economy and community.
