1UP.com is unique among FFXI fans in that it actually pays attention to the events of FINAL FANTASY XI and the world of Vana'diel. That may because one of their more prominent editors, James Mielke, is a longtime FFXI player. For a few years now he's provided extensive coverage of FFXI in the form of news articles, interviews, editorials and even his very own column, My Life in Vana'diel, in which he chronicles the adventures of his character "Milkman" and his linkshell, "The Roundabouts," on the Siren server.
Naturally, 1UP has been the only large-scale gaming website to feature coverage of FFXI's latest expansion, Treasures of Aht Urhgan. Along with the expansion, FFXI was released to a third audience: Xbox 360 owners. With thousands of new players joining in the world of Vana'diel, there are plenty who will begin the game without the amount of knowledge we've all acquired over the years.
If you're a new FFXI player on any platform, I'm sure you're happy to have forums like FFXIonline.com to provide you with the information you need to play the game. You'll also be happy to know that James Mielke himself has recently written an extensive 10-plus-page beginner's guide to FINAL FANTASY XI, covering everything you need to know from level 1-30. I've read over it and like anything Milkman writes, it's filled with the knowledge of a truly advanced FFXI player, so please don't look at this guide with a critical eye like you would with the BradyGame's guides. This guy's played FFXI for years and he knows what he's talking about.
You can locate the FFXI Traveler's Guide for Beginners right here.
In addition, 1UP is running a special promotion for Treasures of Aht Urhgan fans, which can be found here. All you have to do is begin a 1UP blog similar to My Life in Vana'diel, and write about your adventures. 10 winners will be chosen to recieve copies of Treasures of Aht Urhgan for all three platforms!
Happy hunting, Vana'diel adventurers and mercenaries!
