Vault Diving: Final Fantasy XI Vana'Diel Clock
If you're preparing to jump into Square Enix's newest MMO, Final Fantasy XIV, be sure to take a lesson from their past and come equipped with a clock. While digging through Game Informer's huge vault today, I came across this relic from Final Fantasy's past: a clock that tells you the time in-game and lets you set alarms for in-game events.
In addition to keeping track of what time it is for your virtual self in the world of Final Fantasy XI, this Vana'Diel Clock features four separate alarms. You can set these up to let you know when your ability cooldowns have ended. Hopefully FF XIV won't require quite that level of devotion to make the most out of your time. Check out the pictures below to see our clock in original, working condition.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
