Final Fantasy XIV is set in the fantasy region of Eorzea, five years after the devastating Seventh Umbral Calamity which ended the original version. In the Calamity, the elder primal Bahamut escaped from his prison, an ancient space station called Dalamud, unleashing an apocalypse across Eorzea. Through temporal magic, the <a href="/wiki/Player_character" title="Player character">player character</a> of the original version escaped, reappearing at the start of A Realm Reborn. As Eorzea cements its recovery, the player must fend off a reignited invasion from the Garlean Empire. The original Final Fantasy XIV was a commercial and <a href="/wiki/List_of_video_games_notable_for_negative_reception" title="List of video games notable for negative reception">critical failure</a>. Then-Square Enix President <a href="/wiki/Yoichi_Wada" title="Yoichi Wada">Yoichi Wada</a> announced that a new team, led by Yoshida, would assume control and address the game's flaws. The new team both continued to develop and improve the original version, and secretly worked on a completely new replacement. This new game, codenamed "Version 2.0", used a new <a href="/wiki/Game_engine" title="Game engine">engine</a>, improved server infrastructure, and revamped gameplay, interface, and story. The original version shut down in November 2012, followed by an alpha test for Version 2.0. The relaunched game released to largely positive reception; critics praised its solid mechanics and progression, and commended Yoshida for an unexpected recovery. After a poor 2013 <a href="/wiki/Fiscal_year" title="Fiscal year">fiscal year</a>, Square Enix attributed the 2014 return to profitability partly to the game's strong sales and subscriber base. By October 2021, it had gained over 24 million registered players and become the most profitable Final Fantasy game to date.<a href="#cite_note-:0-4">[1]</a> Final Fantasy XIV has received regular updates since release, including five major <a href="/wiki/Expansion_pack" title="Expansion pack">expansion packs</a>: <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Heavensward" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward">Heavensward</a> (2015), <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Stormblood" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood">Stormblood</a> (2017), <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Shadowbringers" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers">Shadowbringers</a> (2019), <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Endwalker" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker">Endwalker</a> (2021), and <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Dawntrail" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail">Dawntrail</a> (2024).

The PC versions support both <a href="/wiki/Point_and_click" title="Point and click">point and click</a> and keyboard input for commands or macros. Macro commands are customizable sequences of actions that allow players to execute desired abilities at a specific time.

These are the grouped and accessed through a combination of the shoulder buttons and the <a href="/wiki/D-pad" title="D-pad">directional pad</a> or the face buttons. Using each shoulder button to cycle through the cross sets, players have quick access to commands. This interface is also available to PC players who use controllers.<a href="#cite_note-FFXIV_PS3_Interface-8">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Character_progression">Character progression</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Character progression">edit</a>]</div> Players improve their characters by gaining <a href="/wiki/Experience_point" title="Experience point">experience points</a> (EXP) and acquiring stronger equipment. After gaining enough XP, the character will "level up", improving their <a href="/wiki/Statistic_(role-playing_games)" title="Statistic (role-playing games)">statistics</a>, enhancing the character's performance, and often learning new actions. Primary sources of experience points in Final Fantasy XIV include completing quests, exploring <a href="/wiki/Instance_dungeon" title="Instance dungeon">instanced dungeons</a>, participating in Full Active Time Events (FATEs), and slaying monsters in the world.<a href="#cite_note-RPGamer-10">[7]</a> <a href="/wiki/Quest_(video_gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Quest (video gaming)">Quests</a>, including the "main scenario" questline, are generally short, specific tasks given to the player by <a href="/wiki/Non-player_character" title="Non-player character">non-player characters</a> which reward items and EXP. Completing main scenario quests progresses the overarching plot of the game. Some quests are repeatable, either "daily" quests repeatable each day, or "Levequests", which consume "leve allowances" that the player slowly accrues over time. Dungeons often require multiple players to form a <a href="/wiki/Party_(role-playing_games)" title="Party (role-playing games)">party</a> to enter, but the Duty Support system enables the player to play certain dungeons alone, supported by computer-controlled party members. Some dungeons are for lower-leveled players to gain EXP quickly while others are for experienced players to collect rare items, equipment, and currency.<a href="#cite_note-LIVE4-11">[8]</a> The Duty Roulette system randomly assigns the player to an accessible dungeon, and once per day, awards additional bonus EXP scaled to character level on completion.<a href="#cite_note-12">[9]</a> FATEs permit large groups of players, whether or not they are in a party, to participate in a shared task in the world. These location-specific events include battles with notorious monsters, defending locations, escorting non-player characters, culling wildlife, and assaulting enemy fortresses, among other types.<a href="#cite_note-LIVE4-11">[8]</a> Finally, each enemy the player kills provides EXP, with further EXP available from the Hunting Log, for killing a fixed amount of specific creatures. At maximum level, character progression focuses entirely on acquiring stronger equipment, raising the character's "item level". This equipment can be gained through a variety of sources including endgame dungeons, crafting, <a href="/wiki/Raid_(video_games)" title="Raid (video games)">raids</a>, primal battles, and elite mark hunts.<a href="#cite_note-13">[10]</a> In addition to these <a href="/wiki/Player_versus_environment" title="Player versus environment">player versus environment</a> (PvE) challenges, various forms of <a href="/wiki/Player_versus_player" title="Player versus player">player versus player</a> (PvP) combat exist in Final Fantasy XIV. The Feast was an arena featuring structured four-versus-four battles where a player could register with up to three teammates to challenge another four-person team. This mode was removed in patch 6.1, when it was replaced with Crystalline Conflict,<a href="#cite_note-14">[11]</a> which consists of two teams of five competing to seize control of and push a crystal which starts at the middle of the arena to each team's goal point. The second type, Frontlines, is a large battleground in which players form teams of up to 24 members. Teams are delineated by players' allegiance to one of three Grand Companies and the team which reaches the target number of points first wins the match. Multiple modes are available, each with differing locations and rulesets. Within the game, Frontlines is presented as an organized set of military exercises between the three nations with the ulterior goal of jockeying for dominance of regions rich in magical artifacts.<a href="#cite_note-15">[12]</a> The third type, Rival Wings, is a battle arena mode where players manipulate minion waves and pilot mechs to destroy enemy objectives. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Battles_and_party_system">Battles and party system</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Battles and party system">edit</a>]</div> Players fight enemies using a combination of physical attacks, weapon skills, and magical attacks; these battles form the basis of <a href="/wiki/Party_(role-playing_games)" title="Party (role-playing games)">party</a> play in Final Fantasy XIV. Most battle content in the game requires parties of a specific size, including four players for dungeons and eight players for <a href="/wiki/Boss_(video_gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Boss (video gaming)">boss</a> battles. The "Duty Finder" is an automated matching feature that sorts players into parties for selected content across different servers.<a href="#cite_note-LIVE4-11">[8]</a> The "Party Finder" is a bulletin board where players may recruit players from any server on their data center for any kind of content including dungeons, raid battles, FATE parties, and more. Members of a party fill traditional MMORPG roles like <a href="/wiki/Tank_(gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tank (gaming)">tank</a>, healer, and damage dealer.<a href="#cite_note-16">[13]</a> Tanks draw the enemy's attention away from other party members who generally have weaker defense, healers use restorative abilities and support the party with damage and enhancing abilities, and damage dealers focus on attacking the enemy.<a href="#cite_note-17">[14]</a> Teamwork and strategy are required to defeat the strongest enemies. "Limit Breaks" are special abilities that can only be performed if members of the party excel at their roles.<a href="#cite_note-18">[15]</a> Free Companies are player-run <a href="/wiki/Clan_(video_games)" title="Clan (video games)">guilds</a>, organized bands of adventurers under the auspices of one of the three Grand Companies of Eorzea. Free Company members may gain access to a shared company chest, a private chat channel, and Company Actions which are 24-hour buffs to certain aspects of gameplay, such as increased EXP gain or reduced gear damage.<a href="#cite_note-community-19">[16]</a> Free Company members may also pool their resources to purchase a house in one of the residential districts. In addition to decorating the house, players may use the grounds to grow unique items through the gardening system, train their <a href="/wiki/Chocobo" title="Chocobo">chocobo</a> companion, embark on airship expeditions, and purchase a private room for personal use. Linkshells are another form of in-game networking; whereas players may only belong in one Free Company, they may join multiple linkshells which act as private chat channels for interested sub-groups.<a href="#cite_note-community-19">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Armoury_and_job_system">Armoury and job system</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Armoury and job system">edit</a>]</div> Under the Armoury System, a character's equipped weapon determines the <a href="/wiki/Character_class" title="Character class">character class</a> and players may change their class at will by changing weapons.<a href="#cite_note-20">[17]</a> Classes are divided into four disciplines: Disciples of War, masters of physical combat; Disciples of Magic, practitioners of the magical arts; Disciples of the Hand, crafters and handymen who synthesize and repair items; and Disciples of the Land, gatherers who collect resources from the environment. The Job System builds upon the Armoury System for Disciples of War and Magic. It allows access to powerful skills, magic, weapons, and armor exclusive to the job corresponding to that class. These jobs, many based on classic <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_character_jobs" class="mw-redirect" title="Final Fantasy character jobs">Final Fantasy character jobs</a>, are more suited to party-based combat.<a href="#cite_note-21">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Game_economy">Game economy</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Game economy">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/Virtual_economy" title="Virtual economy">virtual economy</a> of Final Fantasy XIV is largely player-driven. The exchange of items is facilitated by retainers—non-playable characters who assist in selling items on the Market Board, gather items through ventures, and provide additional item storage.<a href="#cite_note-LIVE4-11">[8]</a> A small transaction fee for all sales serves as a <a href="/wiki/Gold_sink" title="Gold sink">gold sink</a> to regulate the <a href="/wiki/Inflation" title="Inflation">inflation</a> of prices in the economy. Players of any class may contribute to the <a href="/wiki/Supply_(economics)" title="Supply (economics)">supply</a> of the economy: Disciples of the Land acquire raw materials from gathering points throughout the game world; Disciples of the Hand craft the materials into useful items and equipment; and Disciples of War and Magic are able to procure rare materials through completion of dungeons and Treasure Maps. Players are also able to contribute by extracting "materia" from well-used equipment, which can then be used to improve the statistics of other equipment.<a href="#cite_note-22">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[20]</a> The mechanics of crafting and gathering have changed between the original release and A Realm Reborn. Most of these changes are geared toward reducing the randomness and guesswork involved in these processes.<a href="#cite_note-LIVE3-5">[2]</a> For Disciples of the Hand, all recipes of the appropriate level are unlocked by default in the Crafting Log. Crafting abilities have been rebalanced to allow successful high-quality synthesis without requiring multiple mastered Disciplines of the Hand. For Disciples of the Land, players are allowed to select which item they would like to attempt to collect at a gathering point, whereas before, the results of gathering attempts were randomized.

Other societies include indigenous tribes, such as Ixali and Kobolds; Sharlayan, a scholarly city; and Ala Mhigo in eastern Eorzea, annexed twenty years prior by the Garlean Empire.<a href="#cite_note-26">[23]</a> Facing Garlean invasion, Ishgard withdrew from the Eorzean Alliance, leaving it defunct.

As society recovers from Umbral eras, new Astral eras begin. Under the hegemonic Allagan Empire of the Third Astral era, technological development reached its zenith, including aerospace construction. As each Calamity was linked to one of the six fundamental elements—air, lightning, fire, earth, ice, and water—the Sixth Astral Era was expected to last forever, but five years ago, the Garlean Empire triggered the Seventh Umbral Calamity.<a href="#cite_note-WorldInfo-29">[26]</a> Garlean scientists working on Project Meteor weaponized the <a href="/wiki/Subsatellite" title="Subsatellite">lesser moon</a> Dalamud.

The adventurer awakens shortly before arriving at the starting city, Gridania, Ul'dah, or Limsa Lominsa. Returning players from the original version appear in a column of light. Through odd jobs and tenacity, the player joins the city's Adventurer's Guild, and is favorably compared to the "Warriors of Light" who vanished in the Seventh Umbral Calamity. The adventurer thwarts attacks by mysterious masked men and earns the attention of the Scions. Minfilia reveals the player's visions are the Echo, a power marking chosen representatives of Hydaelyn, the deity for whom the world is named. Freshly inducted, the adventurer and Thancred investigate abductions and crystal thefts in Thanalan by the Amalj'aa tribe, who capture the player for their primal, Ifrit, to enthrall, but the Echo blocks Ifrit's "tempering". Instead, the adventurer defeats the primal, and is hailed a hero, courted by all three Grand Companies. During memorial services for the Battle of Carteneau, the player meets Alphinaud and Alisaie, who part over disagreement about such nationalist displays' purpose. The Scions send the adventurer to the Black Shroud to forge ties with the Sylphs, a peaceful tribe whose radical faction has summoned Ramuh against the Garleans. While rescuing the Sylph elder, the adventurer encounters another masked man, Lahabrea, a leader of the mysterious Ascians. Minfilia sends the player to thwart Kobold efforts to summon Titan. The Scions seek advice from retired primal-fighting Company of Heroes. After a series of trials disguised as banquet preparations, the Company's leader reveals the way. The adventurer defeats Titan, learning that Lahabrea is aiding Gaius van Baelsar who has renewed his designs on Eorzea. The adventurer returns to the Scions' headquarters to find slaughter: Minfilia and others were captured by Garleans, and the remaining Scions slain. After funeral rites for the fallen, Alphinaud returns to recruit the adventurer, aiming to rebuild the Scions and defeat the freshly-summoned Ixali primal, Garuda. To confront Garuda in her own domain, they must awaken the memories of an amnesiac Cid Garlond. Cid, Alphinaud, and the adventurer travel to Coerthas, territory of reclusive Ishgard, seeking Cid's lost airship, the Enterprise. After befriending Isghardian commander Haurchefant Greystone and foiling a heretic plot, they recover the Enterprise from a fortress overrun by dragons. Cid, aided by the adventurer's Echo, regains his memories as a Garlean engineer, Eorzean defector, and genius inventor. The adventurer acquires a rare crystal to cut through Garuda's vortex, and the two fight until Garuda torments Kobold and Amalj'aa prisoners of war into resummoning Titan and Ifrit. However, Gaius and Lahabrea intercede with the Ultima Weapon, an ancient Allagan warmachine, which consumes all three primals to increase its power. At Lahabrea's urging, Gaius plans to conquer Eorzea using the Weapon, but the Ascian intends to trigger a Calamity with it.<a href="#cite_note-40">[37]</a> After recovering additional members, the Scions rescue Minfilia and the others, learning that Lahabrea has possessed Thancred. Intruding on an Alliance leadership meeting, Alphinaud and Minfilia persuade them to choose resistance instead of surrender. The Scions join the Alliance in a massive counteroffensive, Operation Archon. The adventurer assaults Gaius' stronghold, the Praetorium, where Gaius pilots the Ultima Weapon in battle. Shielded by Hydaelyn's Blessing of Light, the adventurer destroys the Ultima Weapon, leaving Gaius behind in the explosion. Lahabrea defeats the adventurer himself, revealing the Calamities are part of a process to resurrect the Ascians' god, Zodiark.<a href="#cite_note-41">[38]</a> Hydaelyn revives the adventurer and they purge Lahabrea from Thancred's body, as in the prologue vision. With the threat of Garlean invasion lifted, the Grand Company leaders declare the beginning of the Seventh Astral Era. The player's character is hailed as a hero of the same caliber as the Warriors of Light. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Seventh_Astral_Era">Seventh Astral Era</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Seventh Astral Era">edit</a>]</div> Facing increasing scrutiny and pressure to align with one of the three allied city-states, the Scions relocate to Revenant's Toll, an adventuring hub in neutral Mor Dhona. Word quickly arrives that renegade moogles, aided by Ascians, have summoned a primal, Good King Moggle Mog XII. After besting him, the Warrior encounters the enigmatic Ascian Emissary, Elidibus, who tests the player's might before disappearing. Soon, refugees arrive from Doma, a nation subjugated by the Garlean Empire, bringing word of Emperor Solus' death. The Doman refugees seek asylum in Ul'dah but are refused. Alphinaud recommends work as tradesmen to reconstruct Revenant's Toll. In gratitude, the Doman leader, Yugiri, accompanies the party to reconnoiter the spawning grounds of the Sahagin, who summon Leviathan. Taking the Lominsan warship The Whorleater, the adventurer slays Leviathan. Alphinaud investigates riots among Ala Mhigan refugees in Ul'dah, finding manipulation by Teledji Adeledji, an influential member of Ul'dah's ruling Syndicate. Raubahn suspects Adeledji hopes to monopolize artifacts discovered at Carteneau, including remnants of Omega, an ancient Allagan superweapon. In the Black Shroud, the Sylphs summon Ramuh, who judges the Warrior of Light as a worthy savior upon his defeat, departing amicably. Meanwhile, Alphinaud incorporates the Crystal Braves as an Eorzea-wide Grand Company. Their first task is to investigate the "Ivy", a Garlean spy embedded in the Immortal Flames. Haurchefant and Ser Aymeric of the Temple Knights of Ishgard reach out, unprecedentedly, to the Scions and Braves, seeking aid with the Keeper of the Lake—the wreckage of Garlean airship Agrius, intertwined with the corpse of Midgardsormr, the draconic progenitor who repelled a massive Garlean advance fifteen years previous. In exchange, Haurchefant agrees to safeguard supply shipments to Revenant's Toll, which had been harried by the followers of Lady Iceheart, an Ishgardian heretic. The Garlean civil war ends with Varis zos Galvus assuming the throne, lending new urgency to the search for the Ivy. The Braves discover she is Raubahn's trusted advisor Eline Roaille, capturing her at the gates of a Garlean Castrum. Yda's friend Moenbryda arrives from Sharlayan and provides critical advice for locating Iceheart. Using her body as a vessel, Iceheart summons Shiva into herself and challenges the Warrior of Light. Though the adventurer's band defeats Shiva, Iceheart implies having a connection with Hydaelyn, bidding the meddler to consult with Midgardsormr before escaping. From the Warrior's encounters with Lahabrea and Shiva, Moenbryda hypothesizes that a "blade" of pure aether can permanently destroy an Ascian while its essence is trapped within white auracite. Lucia of the Temple Knights requests the Warrior of Light investigate the Keeper of the Lake. They discover Midgardsormr still lives, slowly regenerating from his apparent death. He divulges that Nidhogg, one of his seven children, has rallied the Dravanian horde to renew their attack on Ishgard. Midgardsormr seals away Hydaelyn's blessing as a test of the adventurer's worth. The Ascian Nabriales takes advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the Scions' headquarters, seeking Louisoix's staff, Tupsimati, a powerful relic. Moenbryda sacrifices herself to create the blade of aether necessary to vanquish the Ascian. As the Scions mourn their fallen comrade, Aymeric parleys for aid in Ishgard's defense against Nidhogg's forces. Minfilia and Alphinaud reluctantly pledge the Scions' support, though all Alliance members decline. The adventurer and the Scions repel Nidhogg's forces at Ishgard's main bridge. A victory celebration is held at Ul'dah, hoping to return Ishgard to the Alliance. Ul'dah's sultana Nanamo Ul Namo privately tells the Warrior that she plans to dissolve the monarchy and make Ul'dah a democratic republic. However, Nanamo succumbs to poisoned wine and collapses; Adeledji accuses the adventurer of regicide. When he denounces Raubahn for his negligence, the enraged Raubahn kills him. Lolorito, another Syndicate member, takes this as proof of Raubahn's guilt and has him also arrested. Many Crystal Braves turn coat to Lolorito and pursue the Scions, most of whom stay behind to cover the escape. Only the Warrior and a humbled Alphinaud escape, aided by Raubahn's adopted son Pipin Tarupin. Cid takes them to Coerthas, where <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV:_Heavensward#Story" title="Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward">Haurchefant grants them asylum</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_XIV&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Development">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV_(2010_video_game)#Development" title="Final Fantasy XIV (2010 video game)">Final Fantasy XIV (2010 video game) § Development</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1273380762/mw-parser-output/.tmulti"><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:214px;max-width:214px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:212px;max-width:212px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/25/FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg/210px-FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg" decoding="async" width="210" height="117" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/25/FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg/315px-FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/25/FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg/420px-FFXIV_1.23_battle_interface.jpg 2x" data-file-width="423" data-file-height="236" /></a></div></div></div><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:212px;max-width:212px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0e/FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png/210px-FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png" decoding="async" width="210" height="118" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0e/FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png/315px-FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0e/FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png/420px-FFXIV_ARR_battle_interface.png 2x" data-file-width="421" data-file-height="236" /></a></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">The difference in battle interfaces between the final patch version of the original game (top) and A Realm Reborn</div></div></div></div> The original release of Final Fantasy XIV began development under the codename Rapture between late 2004 and early 2005, and was officially announced in 2009.<a href="#cite_note-42">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-engine-43">[40]</a> This version was directed by Nobuaki Komoto and produced by <a href="/wiki/Hiromichi_Tanaka" title="Hiromichi Tanaka">Hiromichi Tanaka</a>, who was also serving as the producer of <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI" title="Final Fantasy XI">Final Fantasy XI</a>, and employed the <a href="/wiki/Crystal_Tools" title="Crystal Tools">Crystal Tools</a> engine, which had previously been used for <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIII" title="Final Fantasy XIII">Final Fantasy XIII</a>.<a href="#cite_note-engine-43">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-mother-44">[41]</a> Following a bug-laden, abbreviated <a href="/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle" title="Software release life cycle">beta test</a> period,<a href="#cite_note-mother-44">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-45">[42]</a> the game was released in September 2010 to near-universal negative reception.<a href="#cite_note-46">[43]</a> After two extensions to the initial free trial period, then-Square Enix President <a href="/wiki/Yoichi_Wada" title="Yoichi Wada">Yoichi Wada</a> issued a formal apology to players and fans in December, and announced a dramatic overhaul in the development team, most prominently the removal of Tanaka from the project and the demotion of Komoto from Director to Lead Designer. Monthly fees for the game were suspended until further notice and the previously planned <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_3" title="PlayStation 3">PlayStation 3</a> version was canceled.<a href="#cite_note-teamchange-47">[44]</a> After the change in development team, <a href="/wiki/Naoki_Yoshida" title="Naoki Yoshida">Naoki Yoshida</a>, who had worked as planning chief of <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Quest_X" title="Dragon Quest X">Dragon Quest X</a>, was brought in to supervise the project as both producer and director.<a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-48">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-49">[46]</a> In attempting to improve Final Fantasy XIV, Yoshida quickly discovered a number of key tasks. First and foremost, he had to restore trust in the player base while bringing the game up to a playable quality.<a href="#cite_note-polygon-50">[47]</a> To address this, Yoshida began writing "Letters from the Producer" which would discuss design direction, upcoming changes, player feedback, and increase transparency in the development process.<a href="#cite_note-51">[48]</a> However, outdated and cumbersome programming choices in the <a href="/wiki/Source_code" title="Source code">source code</a> prevented the more radical modifications necessary to enhance the game. Thus, planning for a brand new game built from scratch started in January 2011 and development began in earnest by April, with work on a new <a href="/wiki/Game_engine" title="Game engine">game engine</a> and server structure.<a href="#cite_note-2.0-9">[6]</a> Meanwhile, the team's efforts to improve the original release first came to fruition with patch 1.18 in July, which included major changes to the battle system, implementation of auto-attack and instanced dungeons, removal of the controversial "fatigue" system, and the introduction of the Grand Company storyline which would supersede the original main scenario questline.<a href="#cite_note-52">[49]</a> Subsequent patches would further refine the gameplay as well as set the stage for the Seventh Umbral Era events.<a href="#cite_note-53">[50]</a> On the anniversary of the game's release, Wada claimed that the initial launch of Final Fantasy XIV had "greatly damaged" the Final Fantasy brand.<a href="#cite_note-54">[51]</a> Thus, Wada and Yoshida announced the brand new version of Final Fantasy XIV in October, code-named "Version 2.0", which had been in development since January, along with a tentative roadmap for future progress for both PC and PlayStation 3.<a href="#cite_note-2.0-9">[6]</a> Current players would be provided copies of the new PC client at launch, free of charge, and their character data and progress would be transferred as well.<a href="#cite_note-55">[52]</a> Along with the roadmap, they announced that monthly fees would be instated in order to offset the cost of redevelopment.<a href="#cite_note-2.0-9">[6]</a> Billing for the game began in January 2012.<a href="#cite_note-56">[53]</a> To encourage users to continue playing while paying subscription fees, Yoshida revealed the "Legacy Campaign" which rewarded players who paid for at least three months of service with permanently reduced monthly payments, an exclusive in-game <a href="/wiki/Chocobo" title="Chocobo">chocobo</a> mount, and their names featured in the credits of Version 2.0.<a href="#cite_note-57">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[55]</a> At <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Entertainment_Expo_2012" class="mw-redirect" title="Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012">Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012</a>, Square Enix debuted "Agni's Philosophy", a <a href="/wiki/Tech_demo" class="mw-redirect" title="Tech demo">tech demo</a> for their new <a href="/wiki/Luminous_Studio" class="mw-redirect" title="Luminous Studio">Luminous Studio</a> game engine. Though members of the Final Fantasy XIV development team worked on Luminous, Yoshida admitted that both Luminous and Crystal Tools were optimized for offline games and could not handle an online environment with hundreds of on-screen character models.<a href="#cite_note-engine-43">[40]</a> Though Version 2.0 uses a "completely different engine", he called the Luminous engine and the 2.0 engine "siblings" due to similarities in their structure.<a href="#cite_note-59">[56]</a> That July, Square Enix revealed that Version 2.0's official title would be Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.<a href="#cite_note-60">[57]</a> As development for A Realm Reborn ramped up, Yoshida made the decision to shut down the servers for the original release on November 11.<a href="#cite_note-61">[58]</a> This date served as the "grand finale" for the old game, culminating in a cinematic trailer for A Realm Reborn called "End of an Era".<a href="#cite_note-62">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-63">[60]</a> In a <a href="/wiki/Postmortem_documentation" title="Postmortem documentation">project postmortem</a> at <a href="/wiki/Game_Developers_Conference" title="Game Developers Conference">Game Developers Conference</a> 2014, Yoshida reflected on the herculean task of maintaining and updating an MMORPG while simultaneously developing a new one over the course of just two years and eight months.<a href="#cite_note-GDC-64">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-GDCpoly-65">[62]</a> He identified three main reasons why the original launch failed: an over-emphasis on graphical quality, a lack of modern MMORPG expertise in the development team, and a mentality that all problems could be fixed in future patches. These evolved from the team's prior experience on Final Fantasy XI, the previous MMORPG in the Final Fantasy series. As the series has been renowned for its state-of-the-art graphics, the original development team gained an unhealthy obsession with maximizing graphical quality at the expense of server performance, which was unsustainable for an online game with tens of thousands of high definition assets. In designing Final Fantasy XI, the team spent a year playing <a href="/wiki/EverQuest" title="EverQuest">EverQuest</a>, the most successful MMORPG of the early 2000s.<a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-48">[45]</a> However, they lacked experience with modern games in the genre; the original Final Fantasy XIV team was instructed merely to make something "different from Final Fantasy XI". Yoshida admonished that the team should "go play <a href="/wiki/World_of_Warcraft" title="World of Warcraft">World of Warcraft</a> for a year [for inspiration]" instead.<a href="#cite_note-Kotaku-48">[45]</a> A prevailing design philosophy for A Realm Reborn was to simultaneously appeal to hardcore MMORPG players while reaching out to new players and Final Fantasy fans who had never experienced the genre before.<a href="#cite_note-SiliconeraInterview-66">[63]</a> As a consequence, Yoshida held optimizing gameplay for controllers as a top priority.<a href="#cite_note-67">[64]</a> To streamline development, he made about 400 fundamental design decisions which eliminated time lost to getting approvals, with a focus on implementing standard features of the genre first.<a href="#cite_note-GDCpoly-65">[62]</a> The new workflow pipeline was tested using updates to the original game and applied to development of A Realm Reborn.

positive reception and robust sales numbers. Prior to release, both the game's press and fans were surprised by its quality and level of polish. <a href="/wiki/IGN" title="IGN">IGN</a>'s Charles Onyett cited many specific improvements over aspects of the initial game and recognized that "it seems like Square's doing the right things to fix the many mistakes made with Final Fantasy XIV's original design".<a href="#cite_note-IGNpreview-151">[147]</a> Following an impressive showing at <a href="/wiki/Gamescom" title="Gamescom">Gamescom</a> 2012, it won <a href="/wiki/Destructoid" title="Destructoid">Destructoid</a>'s Gamescom Community Choice Award.
