As a recap, this special edition game bundle will include FFXI's previous expansions: Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan, and Wings of the Goddess.

Square Enix CEO John Yamamoto had this to say regarding this upcoming bundle:

The world of Final Fantasy XI continues to grow with both new content and new players. Final Fantasy XI 2008 Edition allows interested players to join the adventure with the bonus of all the expansion pack content. I hope many more players enjoy and experience the exciting world of Vana'diel and all that Final Fantasy XI has to offer.
