Does ff11 still use PlayOnline? ›

Starting with Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix began moving their online games off the service as membership declined. The termination date for Final Fantasy XI and PlayOnline on PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 was March 2016, with only the PC version of Final Fantasy XI still supported.

As previously announced, Square Enix support for Windows(R) 7 on FINAL FANTASY XI will end on January 14, 2020. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows(R) 7 after January 14, 2020, so we have found that continuing support for this operating system is a difficult proposition.

The setting of Final Fantasy XI is the world of Vana'diel, a rich world with diverse climates, ranging from northern glaciers and southern deserts, to ethereal realms and sky landmasses.

In this installment, we interviewed Koichi Ishii, the original Director of FFXI who breathed life into the fantasy world of Vana'diel.

The first Final Fantasy MMORPG isn't shutting down anytime soon, but does sound like it's heading into maintenance mode territory. Final Fantasy XI's development team is being downsized to allow developers to continue their careers on other projects.

To reactivate a Service Account for FINAL FANTASY XI, log into the Square Enix Account Management System and select "PlayOnline/FINAL FANTASY XI" from the "Service and Options" menu at the top. Follow the on-screen instructions to reactivate your Service Account.

Now, twenty years later, the world of Vana'diel remains a staple for Final Fantasy fans and MMO enthusiasts, and one of Square-Enix's most profitable games of all time.

Fee Overview

The FINAL FANTASY XI service requires a subscription fee, which includes the game's basic fee and any other fees associated with options added to your service account.

To play FFXI, you will have to purchase a Content ID; your first one will cost $12.95 and each subsequent one will cost an additional $1.00. For example, if you have 3 characters, you'd be paying $14.95 per month ($12.95+$1.00+$1.00).

After 20 years of support, however, Square Enix is putting Final Fantasy 11 in maintenance mode, meaning servers will stay up and it'll remain playable, but with limited support. Along with downscaling, the FFXI team is shuffling around, too, as Yoji Fujito is replacing Akijiko Matsui as lead producer.
