Final Fantasy XI PC Pack A-Coming

Square Enix announces that the Final Fantasy XI PC pack for PC is scheduled to ship on August 16th:

Final Fantasy XI: The Vana’diel Collection will ship for the PC on August 16, Square Enix announced today. The bundle includes the original Final Fantasy XI, the expansion packs Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia, the Tetra Master minigames, and a free 30-day trial to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

“We are very pleased to be able to bring Final Fantasy XI to gamers in a much more accessible package,” said Ichiro Otobe, president and COO of Square Enix. “Since the launch three years ago, Final Fantasy XI has constantly evolved, always incorporating the demands of players, so I think the newcomers will really enjoy the experience that awaits them in Vana’diel.”

This looks like a tempting deal. It had been a while anyway that I’d been pondering giving the game a try, and if this delay is respected, might as well wait until August 16th and see how things turn.
