Final Fantasy XIV: Difference between revisions

[[Square Enix]] recently [http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=ae8d667b53355d8ea364fafa44d5253e4362e17f apologized for the state of the game], and [[You Have Failed Me|replaced]] several key members of the development team. The new development team has greatly overhauled the game, addressing many of its original flaws, although the title isn't quite ready for primetime just yet. Said "primetime" will be coming in the form of ''version 2.0'', which will reportedly [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore|bring about sweeping changes to the way the game works, the game and server engines, and the the land of Eorzea itself]]--comparisons to ''[[World of Warcraft|Cataclysm]]'' have been made even by the devs themselves.

A [[~~Play Station~~ 3]] version, originally scheduled for a March 2011 release and initially put on indefinite hold, entered beta testing in November and has been released alongside the ''version 2.0'' client in August 2013. The initial delay in releases between systems led to the PC release being somewhat jokingly ([[8.8|or]] [[Internet Backdraft|not]]) referred to as a beta for the [[~~Play Station~~ 3]] release. An [[Xbox 360]] version was also in development, but has been "paused" according to [[Word of God]] due to some [[Money, Dear Boy|issues]] with Xbox Live and Microsoft. A [[Play Station Vita]] version may be considered in the future, as well as smart phone applications that could be used to access the player's inventory, for example.

There is now a character sheet for this page in the works.

* [[Omniglot]]: Those possessed of the Echo, as a consequence of their ability to touch the souls of others.

* [[One-Gender Race]]: Subverted. There are plenty of male Miqo'te, but nearly all of them live in solitude. Even the females rarely end up living in cities. As for female Roegadyn, they exist; one important NPC is a female Roegadyn. Their actual availability to the players is scheduled for 'by the [[~~Play Station~~ 3]] version'.

* [[One Size Fits All]]: Bar a very few items.
