We would like to announce the appointment of a new director for FINAL FANTASY XI.
Former Battle Director Akihiko Matsui has assumed the post, and would like to take this opportunity to offer a few words of greeting to our players.
Dear Users,
It is both an honor and pleasure to give this address as the newly appointed director of FINAL FANTASY XI.
With the commencement of official service for FINAL FANTASY XIV imminent, the period ahead will prove to be a turning point for FINAL FANTASY XI. I have had the privilege of being part of the team since the project commenced some ten years ago, but to assume the mantle of leadership at this juncture is daunting indeed.
As director, I intend to work in close cooperation with all project members and involved parties to ensure that FINAL FANTASY XI will continue to hold allure for our players. For truly, nothing would please me more than to see Vana’diel remain a gathering place for those seeking high adventure and camaraderie.
I look forward to your continued support in the future.
