What is Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn?

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn is the "re-launch" version of the September 2010 Launched MMORPG, which was an uber and epic failure of a MMORPG. Despite being known as the worst launched MMORPG, they have admitted at fault, apologize and reshuffle the Development Team, with a brand new Director, Naoki Yoshida or known as Yoshi-P. Thus the first Final Fantasy XIV is reknown as Version 1.x. During his duration of overseeing and responsible to fix the mess that the old Development Team produce, SquareEnix CEO Yoichi Wada (Now former CEO) announce that the game will be free till it is fixed. So it begun the day where true fans of the game sticking to the game like glue and await the miracle patch that we thought it will come. The change to the game begin to see some significant enjoyment up to patch 1.21 where they announce that they are reinstating the Pay 2 Play for a the period of time, also announce... the version 2.0, where the whole game is being rebuild and was said to have already begun prior to patch 1.16. Meaning that they were doing Parallel Development where there not only keep updating the 1.X servers with Contents but also secretly building a whole new client, new engine behind our backs! The best thing about it that we are able to see the change that were made in 1.0, the storyline that lead to the epic ending of the server shutting down. And long story short. Here we are now.. entering the new age of A Realm Reborn.

Now that we are here nearing the Launch, early access which is starting @ 24th August 5pm. The game has come a long way to make it what was right since 2010. Of all the time of marketing and showing demo during E3, TGS, Gamescom, the game have been given said to be the most promising MMORPG. There is no Marketing Hype by Square Enix, just pure showing off game play instead of talking.

This game have shown the Media Coverage the Gameplay instead of Marketing craps that most Westerns MMORPGs tends to do.

So here I say that if you have a friend playing it, try it out from him, or wait for Trial Accounts which is being talked about from Square Enix in near future to try.




On another account, is like old school MMORPG, tab targeting, but with Final Fantasy touch.

^ this is quite true, because there wasn't any real HYPE, Square Enix never hype their game too much, not in other country atleast, thou they did do it in E3, Gamescom, TGS, and also their Japan have cool Eorzea Mirror! search youtube about Eorzea Mirror xD

or wait for future trial account xD

false.


There will be two type of Tier Payment.

Because of the Uniqueness of only needing 1 character and can change Class anytime by just unlocking the class and swap as easy as just equipping the weapon. You wont need many Alts. unless you're a Altholic.

regarding battle system. I would definitely prefer the old style MMORPG, tab targeting than free-targeting action way of Tera, Tera combat is fun, but tiring as hell. i prefer this way. more relaxing. ^^" Still engaging but it give me chance to use my hand to drink while fighting.. ><

haha its base on WoW's battle system.. so no xD haha is still consider "old" mmorpg tab targeting as well xD

but yea i know wher eyou're coming from, the good ol'days of Ragnarok Online xD

I think for me atthe very least it the Primal Summoning System, but that wont be ready for launch as it will be down the road, not sure when, but is very interesting.

Is not the usual where you will need Summoner to summon the primal. In X|V instead, is your FC who will be summoning, or group summoning a Primal into Eorzea. And it will be huge, weather change in that zone that is summon, etc.

Is very interesting down the road if it ever get implemented.

uhh nope. the arrow indicator is who the monster engaging with.

there are AOE indicator that will appear in a red circle/cone/line on the ground that you can evade.

AHhhh yea thta is *kind of* true xD
