Default What is Final Fantasy XI (or whatever it is)

I probably sound so dumb as most of you have them in your signatures, I've never heard of it up until I joined this forum and I'm like 17 and have been using the net since I've been 12.

I'm guessing it is a game (I'm not that retarded) but what is it about?

Final Fantasy 11 is an multiplayer online game? Like World of Warcraft.

Most other Final Fantasys aren't online. They're just normal RPG's.

Final Fantasy X begins late in the story, with the main character, Tidus, waiting with his allies outside the ruined city of Zanarkand. From this in medias res beginning, Tidus proceeds to narrate the series of events leading up to his present situation, and this extended flashback sequence spans most of the game's storyline. It begins in an unruined Zanarkand, a high-tech metropolis and Tidus' home city, where he is a renowned star of the fictional underwater sport blitzball. When Zanarkand is suddenly attacked by Sin during a blitzball game, Tidus — along with his long-time mentor, Auron — are sucked into the creature and awakens to find himself alone in the ruins of a deserted temple.

Tidus is then rescued by Al Bhed divers in the area, and one of them, Rikku, tells him that Zanarkand had been destroyed one thousand years earlier. He has little time to dwell on the significance of this news before Sin attacks once again, separating Tidus from the others. He eventually washes up on the tropical island of Besaid, where he meets Wakka, the captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a blitzball team. Impressed by Tidus' blitzball skills, Wakka asks Tidus to join the Aurochs in an upcoming tournament in Luca, suggesting that he may meet someone he knows there.

Tidus is introduced to Yuna, a young summoner who is following in the footsteps of her deceased father, the High Summoner Braska, who temporarily vanquished Sin ten years earlier. Braska's guardians were Auron and Jecht, Tidus's missing father, who had been assumed dead at sea ten years earlier.[16][17] Tidus also meets Lulu and Kimahri, who, along with Wakka, are to serve as Yuna's guardians, journeying with her on her pilgrimage to the ruins of Zanarkand. There, she plans to acquire the power to summon the "Final Aeon" and use it to defeat Sin.

The party travels by boat to Kilika Island — where Sin is encountered yet again, attacking the boat and decimating most of the town and its villagers —, then getting the aeon Ifrit and going to Luca. Fiends attack after the tournament, destroyed by Maester Seymour's aeon, Anima. After the blitzball tournament, the party encounters Auron, who joins them. Not long after, following another encounter with Sin where a crusader fleet is decimated, they acquire the aeon, Ixion and they are joined by Rikku, who is revealed to be Yuna's cousin.[18]

After reaching Guadosalam, Seymour invites Yuna to his manor, proposing. After brief contemplation, Yuna returns, but Seymour has gone to Macalania temple, and the party follow, crossing the Thunder Plains, where Yuna informs the group that she will marry Seymour, but for Spira's happiness, not love. They cross the plains and Macalania woods, but are attacked by Rikku's brother and a machina. After repelling the Al Bhed, Seymour's aide, Tromell, guides Yuna to the temple and the group follow, at the temple seeing a sphere from Jyscal Guado, Seymour's late father. He confesses that Seymour is bitter and insane from lack of paternal love and will kill him. His prophecy has come true and the group defeat Seymour beyond the Cloister of trials, resulting in his death with the aid of the aeon, Shiva. Tromell destroys Jyscal's sphere and after fleeing, they are attacked by Sin again, transporting them to the sandy Bikanel island, where they lose track of Yuna. Rikku guides the group to the Al Bhed Home, which is being attacked by Yevon. It is revealed that the Al Bhed have kidnapped summoners to stop them from dying when the Final Summoning is performed and aboard the airship piloted by Brother and Rikku's father, Cid, resolves to save her. She has been taken to Bevelle, forced into marriage with the now unsent Seymour.

The group, after Receiving the aeon, Bahamut, are condemned to the fiend infested Via Purifico and, after escaping, encounter Seymour again. He kills several guards, converting them into pyreflies to empower himself. After defeating him, Yuna and Tidus share a passionate moment and the next day, cross the Calm Lands and climb Mt Gagazet, home of the Ronso. At the summit they meet Seymour, who has brutally slaughtered the Ronso. They defeat him once more and go to Zanarkand

As the player approaches Zanarkand, Tidus learns that he, Jecht, and the Zanarkand they hail from are all "dreams", summoned entities akin to aeons.[19] Their city, Dream Zanarkand, was created one thousand years earlier, when a conflict known as the "Machina War" led to Yevon, Zanarkand's ruler and a powerful summoner, taking desperate measures to preserve its memory.[20] He had his city's surviving people become fayth so that he could use their memories of Zanarkand to create a new city in its image, far removed from the warfare on the Spiran mainland.[21] Sin was also created at this time, given form by Yevon himself to serve as "armor" protecting himself and the fayth.[22][23] While continuously summoning Dream Zanarkand, Yevon lost his humanity and became known as "Yu Yevon" (or "the Curse of Yevon"),[24] a being existing solely to maintain Dream Zanarkand's existence.[25] Over the next one thousand years, Sin would persistently attack the people of Spira to keep them from gaining the technology to learn of Dream Zanarkand's existence.

Once the player completes Yuna's pilgrimage to Zanarkand — ending Tidus' extended flashback sequence recounting most of the game's events — she and her companions learn from the unsent spirit of Lady Yunalesca — Yevon's daughter and the first summoner to have defeated Sin[26][27] — that the Final Aeon is created from the spirit of one close to a summoner, and that when Sin is defeated, Yu Yevon's spirit then possesses it, transforming it into a new Sin.[28] Additionally, it is revealed that Auron himself is an Unsent, having been killed by Yunalesca ten years earlier when he confronted her in rage after the deaths of Braska and Jecht.[29] After the party defeats Yunalesca, Yuna and her guardians decide to seek a new way to defeat Sin: one that will permanently destroy him and will not require any sacrifices. Without having acquired the use of a Final Aeon, the party attacks Sin directly using a forbidden machina airship salvaged by the Al Bhed, and enters Sin's shredded body.

Inside Sin, the party battles Seymour, this time sending him, Jecht's imprisoned spirit, and Yu Yevon, to the Farplane. Thus, they are able to end Sin's cycle of rebirth forever. Auron dissipates and goes to the Farplane as well, having fulfilled his promise to Jecht and Braska to guard their children. Lastly, the spirits of all the fayth of Spira are freed from their imprisonment, dispersing the aeons, Dream Zanarkand, and Tidus in the process. In a speech to the citizens of Spira, Yuna resolves to help rebuild the world now that it is free of Sin. However, she asks that they never forget the people who have been lost along the way.

After the credits, there is a brief scene with Tidus underwater. He opens his eyes and begins swimming upward, and the screen fades to white. This scene is later explained in Final Fantasy X-2 if certain conditions are met.

Its about different worlds each time (or dimensions) each with their own story (excluding X-2, the FFVII games and the upcoming FFXIII one)
