Eligibility
Customers who can still reactivate their characters through the regular reactivation process cannot take part in the Return Home to Vana’diel Campaign. Please confirm before applying.
[Regular reactivation process]
Character data is stored for 3 months after the Content ID has been cancelled. Within that time frame, Content IDs can be reactivated. If you perform reactivation procedures after 3 months have passed and your data has not yet been deleted, you will be able to reactivate your Content ID. If you would like to reactivate a Content ID, you can do so on the PlayOnline Viewer from: Service & Support → Membership → Contents → Reactivate ID.
Customers who cannot reactivate their characters through either of the above methods are eligible for the Return Home to Vana’diel Campaign.
When applying, it will be necessary to select “Type A” or “Type B” according to your PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI service status. Please read the information below to determine which type applies to you and proceed to the application form at the bottom of the page.
The Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign - Type A
- The applicant must be a former PlayOnline member (i.e. the person whose name was registered) who played FINAL FANTASY XI before cancelling the account.

- The above eligibility also applies to applicants who have deleted their characters on their Content IDs before cancelling the ID itself.

- The applicant has cancelled his/her PlayOnline account, but has never obtained a FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID.
