Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn[Online]


The MMO role-playing game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn invites you to explore the world of Eorzea with friends from across the world. Forge friendships, mount up on a chocobo, board an airship with your friends and create your own unique stories within the Final Fantasy Universe. Undertake epic quests and battle with familiar Final Fantasy monsters alone or enlist the help of your friends. Each player will have their own unique abilities and equipment that they have acquired during their adventures. Work together to help forge the fate of Eorzea!
The life of an adventurer is the pursuit of fortune and the pursuit of fame. It is the devotion of oneself to seeking out danger and glory wherever they might lie. It is an endless quest taken up only by the most intrepid and dauntless of souls. The people of Eorzea come with their myriad pleas and requests to their local Adventurers' Guild, and here it is that adventurers heed the call, whether it be the slaying of some foul beast plaguing the countryside, or the crafting of fine wares demanding a master's touch.
What greatness lies in store for you, adventurer?

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a remake/relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV. It is an MMO with similar mechanics, set in the Final Fantasy XIV universe, but it has been completely rebuilt from scratch. FFXIV: A Realm Reborn was announced for Playstation 4 as well as PlayStation 3 in addition to the previously announced PC version of the game at the Sony E3 2013 event,

The Story

One of the neatest aspects of FFXIV: ARR is how the story has evolved from the original version. Instead of just ending it and rehashing the story for the second game, they made it continue where the first left off. Without giving too much away, the original FFXIV saw the story come to an end just before the servers were shut down. This end involved an apocalyptic event occurring, devastating the lands of Eorzea. A few noble adventurers were spared destruction however, and now 5 years have passed since that fateful day. People picking up the game will start at this point, 5 years after the events of the original, entering the world as a fresh new adventurer trying to make their mark on Eorzea.


Character Creation

Character creation in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is very in-depth. In Character Creation, players can choose between one of 5 races, briefly detailed in the Races section below and discussed more on the Racespage. After choosing a race, players can choose to customize any of 20 different options, including hairstyle, eye shape, tattoos, voice, and more.
When choosing your character's look, you can even pick the background environment they're displayed in, their pose, and attire. The different environments include the starry ethereal default background, the inside of a house, and the three main starting areas of the game during either day or night. As for attire, characters can be displayed in either their race's starting clothes, their job clothes, or their smallclothes that they wear around town. These options are for cosmetic purposes only.
Once you're finished choosing the look of your character, you'll be able to choose their birthday and patron god or goddess. There are 12 different elemental Patron Deities and every character gets Elemental Attribute Power based on the deity they choose.
Next you choose your character's class. For more information about classes, check out the Classes section. Depending on your class, you'll end up in one of three starting zones: GridaniaUl'dah, or Limsa Lominsa.
The last section of character creation is choosing your world, or server. Currently they're divided in to North American and European Servers and Japanese Servers. There will be some cross-server capabilities in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, but if you want to group up with a lot of friends it's recommended to  choose one server near the region you live in and play there.
Once you've created your character and gone through all these steps, you'll be treated to a cutscene. Afterwards, you'll be able to start adventuring straight away.
