Hello everyone and welcome to another Danny’s Picks.  Since I just started a new blog series on Square Enix’s latest MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, today I will post the opening cinematic to Square’s first MMO, Final Fantasy XI, first released in Japan back in 2002!  The story begins 20 years after the Crystal War, where players begin the game as residents of one of the three main countries: San d’Oria, Bastok, and Windurst, and must help band the nations together against the resurrected Shadow Lord.

I particularly loved seeing the epic scale of the high level ice spell by the Tarutarus at 2:39 and the huge behemoths that show up at 3:01.  If there’s one thing I love, its EPICNESSS!
