Final Fantasy XI release date, pricing

[02.26.02] » Square's second big gamble hits shelves -- and the Internet -- this April in Japan.

   After three months of beta testing, it seems Square is finally happy enough with the progress on its ambitious, online-only RPG, Final Fantasy XI, to announce a firm release date. April 27th will bring the world of Vana'diel to the masses at a initial price of 6800 yen (about $50 USD) for the packaged game.

   Once they get online, gamers will be able to enjoy a two month subscription to PlayOnline and unlimited play of Final Fantasy XI, after which a 500 yen per month (or roughly $3.75 USD) fee will apply.
