The realm of Eorzea (on the world of Hydaelyn) was remodelled, redistributed between 40 zones as opposed to the original 8. In the end, they announced that it was to be scrapped, and re-launched as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Despite heavy overhauls and repeated patches, including the removal of the particularly hated Fatigue System (the longer you play in one go, the less experience and loot you earn), Square-Enix struggled to drag FFXIV out of the hole it had dug for itself. Without going into great detail, the original release of Final Fantasy XIV – back in September of 2010 – was a resounding failure, prompting significant changes to the development team and the resignation of the original director. It’s almost no surprise that it went massively, massively wrong the first time round. Of course, it’s been playable online before, in Final Fantasy XI, but not with the level of ambition with which Square approached Final Fantasy XIV. It’s a mega-franchise, an important, nay essential, weave in the great tapestry that is the history of video games.
Final Fantasy has existed, in one form or another, through games and spin-offs, animé, CGI movies, graphic novels and books for almost 25 years.

In terms of breadth and scope, an MMORPG set in the universe of Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy series is a mammoth proposition.
