PlayOnline Users Break 500,000 Barrier!

The PlayOnline service has surpassed 500,000 registered users in North America and Japan combined, with the total online community population (number of active characters) of FINAL FANTASY XI at nearly one million characters.

Since its inception in May of 2002 for the PlayStation(R)2 platform, followed shortly by the Windows version in November of the same year, PlayOnline has continued to grow explosively. This growth heralded the release of the North American Windows version in October of 2003.

2004 looks to continue this trend, with the scheduled release of the North American PlayStation(R)2 version in March, which will spearhead our policy of bringing cross-continent, cross-platform entertainment to the global market.
