  1. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or wet-behind-the-ears newbie, Chains of Promathia adds even more to see and do in the already robust world of Vana'diel.

    From the moment I got in game and started doing the new quests and missions, I knew that I would see some great things. However some of the content in the Empty areas seemed to be more difficult than needed.
  3. The expansion is only $29.99, and well worth it for the hardcore FFXI player.
  4. It's designed exclusively for Final Fantasy XI's most dedicated players, and probably should have been a downloadable update for those players.

    Simply one of the most amazing stories in a Final Fantasy to date, sure you had to go through hell in order to complete the main quest line but it was well worth it. Reaching "Sea" and exploring it for the first time was such a memorable moment and then a few months later being able to finally conclude the story was truly amazing. Collapse
