Final Fantasy XI: Rumors continue to persist that the Beastmen are plotting to use a dark ritual to resurrect the Shadow Lord.Windurst: A prominent researcher has disappeared while investigating the slow decline of the earth, which may be linked to the mysterious structures around Windurst and the "Cardian" constructs acting as servants within the capital.Bastok: Racial tensions between the Humes and Galka are at an all-time high, with the latter growing discontent with their role as brute labour within the nation, while the succession of the Galkan Talekeeper is in question since the disappearance of the previous one.San d'Oria: Trouble stirs within the royal court of the Elvaan nation as two royal princes wage a war of intrigue for control of the throne while issues from the nation's past begin to resurface.The game places an incredible emphasis on story while remaining as open-ended as possible, featuring (as of this writing) ten complete storylines for players to experience: one of each of the three starting nations, and one for each expansion pack to the game. Furthermore, there have been signs of increased Beastman activity in recent months, leading to fears that the Shadow Lord may return and resume his bloody campaign across Vana'diel. Now in the present day, three great plots are stirring in the heart of each nation, calling for a new generation of adventurers to step into the spotlight of history. The Shadow Lord was eventually defeated, and the three nations entered into a peace treaty in which they would compete for territory not through armed conflict but a system of benefaction called "Conquest". 20 years prior, the three nations united (with the aid of the neutral city-state of Jeuno) to fight an army led by the mysterious Shadow Lord. The game takes place in the fantasy world of Vana'diel, which is split into three great nations: San d'Oria, Bastok and Windurst. The game even mixes all these players together, as no world is region or console specific. It is also the first MMORPG to be released both for home consoles (Playstation 2 and Xbox 360) and the PC.
