The good news: the insanely popular Final Fantasy series of role-playing games has finally come to Xbox 360. The bad news: it's a game that's three years old.

With the release of Final Fantasy XI, which has had online presence now for two years now on PS2 and PC, can the series sell its brand of androgynous she-males on the 360? FFXI plunks you down in one of ...   » Read Full Final Fantasy XI preview
