Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game: unlike the previous instalments of the famous Japanese series, it lets many players compete together in one world. We can play as mighty heroes living on the continent of Eorzea that is located in a mysterious, fantasy world called Hydaelyn. The game was in production for more than three long years, so it has every right to be a success after all the adjustments implemented by the developers over the course of the years. As the above mentioned heroes, the players need to help save Eorzea. It has many problems: both locally interior and connected to the dangers from the outside, like from the empire of Garlean. Before that, Eorzea suffered even more, barely able to recover after a horrible calamity when Bahamut, an evil monster was summoned there.
Final Fantasy XIV is pretty much a typical MMORPG game. Each player has his own avatar he develops traveling through a world full of monsters, items, artefacts and quests to complete. The game also has all the typical mechanisms common in MMORPGs like instances, player versus player and special dungeons for groups of players. One of the original aspects of Final Fantasy XIV is Fate, a system of repetitive “levequests”, randomly generated events, and the three big companies in which the players can try to get promoted to higher and higher levels. We are free to choose our character’s sex and race. We can choose from among Hyur, Eorzea’s humans, Elezen, which are elves, short Lalafell similar to gnomes, big and powerful Roegadyn and animal-like Miqo’te. The race is not as important as the class, however. This can be freely changed. A player can develop even a few at a time, choosing from amongst combat classes like Gladiator, Pugilist, Marauder, Lancer and Archer, and magical classes, like Conjurer, Thaumaturge and Arcanist. Unlike other MMORPGs, Final Fantasy XIV can be played on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and furthermore, all players use the same servers, no matter which device they are using.
