The ninth Vana'diel census tells you everything you need to know and more
Very few games release population numbers for their game, let alone full workups on class combinations, the amount of endgame weaponry in the population, the percentage of the population that is a specific type of craftsman, and the average weekly income of the population. But this is the Vana'diel census, and it's ready to tell you all of the intricate details of Final Fantasy XI.
The census is a yearly workup of the data that the FFXI servers collect, combined with a survey taken by all players during the anniversary ceremonies. The census is always more than just a simple retelling of a few numbers -- going into detail with things like colors of linkshells that never appear in the game, popular subjobs and job pairings, and GM call peak times.
The full census, all 11 pages of the document, are available for browsing at Final Fantasy XI's homepage, PlayOnline.
