Final Fantasy XI, also known as Final Fantasy XI: Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The player is able to customize their characters in limited ways, including race, gender, face, hair color, body size, job, and allegiance. Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, all battles occur in real time, and enemies are no longer randomly encountered.
How you play is up to you, with limitless possibilities for adventure. Set out on your own to discover the countless secrets of Vana'diel, or form a party with your friends to purge the beastmen forces and bring home sensational spoils! There are five races (Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra, Galka) and six initial jobs (warrior, thief, monk, white mage, black mage, and red mage) to choose from. Many other jobs exist as well.
Gameplay in Final Fantasy XI consists of two major components: quests, which do not advance the main storyline but fill out the game's fantasy world, and missions, through which the main storyline of the game is told. Quests may be undertaken for various rewards. Missions are undertaken to advance in rank, to access new areas and gain new privileges and to advance the various storylines in the game. Each nation has its own set of missions, which a player must complete to advance in rank; a player may only complete missions for his home country.
Final Fantasy XI is the first online game in the award-winning Final Fantasy series.

Quests The quests in DDO are organized by character level, difficulty and length. Each quest has a base level, and the XP reward increases if all of the party members are below that level, and decreases if any of the party members are above that level. Characters more than three levels below the "base level" are not allowed to initiate a quest, however they are able to join a quest started by another party member.
Note that most quests have an item or monetary reward when finished, but the character must have talked to the quest giver to receive the reward. Some dungeons require several visits to the quest giver to complete the entire quest chain. Speaking to the quest giver also generally allows you to repeat the quest.
The quests are narrated by a "Dungeon Master" who gives additional details and information to the players about what they see and hear on their adventure.
