Final Fantasy XI has obtained yet more awards from various popular websites. IGN recently handed FFXI the award for "Online World of the Year" and the award for the "Outstanding Achievement in Technology". On top of that, Gamespy named FFXI "PC MMORPG of the Year" in Gamespy's 2003 "Game of the Year" Awards. For a game that was supposedly a 'trial run' for Square-Enix, Final Fantasy XI has done phenomenally well for itself.
