FFXI Tour (Elvaan)


FFXI Tour

The Elvaan is a race similar to the elf races that are seen in other fantasy games and books. Strangely enough, these elf-like people aren’t very good at using magic like other races in the game. They bear a resemblance to the Guado (Final Fantasy X-X2) in design.

Unlike elves in other media, the Elvaan are arrogant and rude to outsiders. NPCs will treat visitors in the home kingdom (San d'Oria) very rudely. At one point, the Elvaan race nearly conquered most of the known world, but in the current FFXI continuity their nation is in decline. The nation, at times, is on the verge of civil war because of the religious and nonreligious infighting.

It is an interesting take on a race that’s seen a spiritual and honorable in many fantasy stories.
