Category: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn News

Victor looks at FFXIV from the lens of comparison after playing through three other games.

In the latest Letter from the Producer Live, Final Fantasy XIV’s Naoki Yoshida covered a huge variety of topics with regard to the game. Included in the Q&A is the news that the EU data center will be opening later this fall.

If you’ve finished the current story and are tired of the dungeon grind, waiting seems long. Luckily Victor’s got your back with a short wish list of things to come for future content.

Margaret Krohn (formerly of SOE) has posted an excellent video about Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward that covers the lore behind the recent expansion. Check it out!

What makes not rushing through content more fun than being a world-first slayer of evils? Victor discusses the slow burn in this week’s Eorzea Reborn.

I grew up with the Final Fantasy series so it always pulls at my nostalgic heartstrings whenever a new one is released. Disappointed with the release of XIV in its 1.0 state I was amazed at how Square Enix was able to right the ship with the release of A Realm Reborn. XI was a great MMO and now SE has been able to turn XIV into a worthy, if not direct, successor.

Taking a cue from my favorite Seinfeld actor (Yes, the title is a pun on Jason Alexander), I wanted to touch on the new raid that happens to be the latest endgame for Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.

Over the last two weeks we have touched on the build up to Heavensward and some of the new systems in the game. This week I want to talk about the reason we have headed north to begin with, the remaining two classes; Machinist and Astrologian, as well as the Mac brewhaha. Next week I’ll do the official review and put a bow on it.

The Final Fantasy XIV site has been updated with a new developer blog that shows off the new raid dungeon called "Alexander". The preview shows off the new gear that players can score by running the raid and comes complete with a brand new video to show off some of the lore and the action within the area.

Square Enix has suspended further sales of the Mac version of Final Fantasy XIV and is also offering refunds to those who wish one. Additionally, those who purchased game cards for subscriptions and who are determined to be using a Mac license will have their purchase refunded.
