The graphically-enhanced version of Final Fantasy XI announced for the Xbox 360 at last year's Electronics Entertainment Expo has finally been given a solid release date. Gamers will be able to snag this version of Final Fantasy XI on April 16th in the US and two days later in both Japan and Europe. The disc will be crammed with all things Final Fantasy XI--that is, the 360 version will include the original game and all three expansions: Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, and the new Treasures of Aht Urhgan.
PC and PS2 gamers will be able to purchase the new expansion, Treasures of Aht Urghan, on April 18th, the same day that the Xbox 360 version will be available in the United States, Japan, and Europe. The new expansion will not only offer new areas, monsters, and gameplay tweaks, but entirely new jobs, including the Blue Mage and Corsair.
No price has been announced for the Xbox 360 version of FFXI or the new expansion at this time, but with a not-too-distant release, they're likely to be divulged soon.
