| | | "The Top-Selling MMORPG Final Fantasy XI is Evolving Yet Again. With an Ever-Expanding Online World and New and Improved Features, Vana'diel is Now Bigger and Better Than Ever!" Final Fantasy XI blends sorcery and technology. The once peaceful world of Vana'diel stands at the brink of war as a power struggle slowly emerges among the three nations. The struggle focuses on the control of sacred crystals: an essential source of all creation. An unknown malevolent force rises in Vana'diel with a passion for the energy within the crystals. The Chains of Promathia expansion pack opens a new chapter in the history of Vana'diel. Gamers will be able to explore previously unseen areas, visit new towns, and realize fabled legends. Yet as the mysteries of Vana'diel are unraveled, even more puzzling enigmas will take their place in this intricately designed expansion pack.

| | Professional Reviews | IGN 8 of 10
It's a difficult thing to review an expansion pack for a massively multiplayer role-playing game that's so enormous it would literally take us months to explore each and every section of it. Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI and its first add-on pack Rise of the Zilart, after all, were already huge; and throwing in 40 additional areas spanning four all-new regions only serves to make it even bigger. But bigger is exactly what Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia truly is, as it adds a considerable amount real estate compared to most enhancement bundles out there -- with storyline superfluities that are rarely seen in appendices of this type...Regardless of any major gameplay overhauls, Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia is still a great addition to the existing FFXI universe...No matter how far along players may be with the original adventure, however, Chains of Promathia should definitely reward Final Fantasy fans who were disappointed in the first game's anemic sense of storyline with what they've been looking for. In contrast, the more gameplay-oriented users out there may find themselves a bit disappointed in the new feature set. Either way, Vana'diel diehards and fanatics should definitely check it out. - Jeremy Dunham
