FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Save

FF14 director Yoshida outlines more graphics updates after DawntrailSep 6, 2024 - PCGamesNOne of the most welcome features in FF14 Dawntrail is its dramatic graphics update. From the world at large to the characters, clothing, armor, and weapons within, basically every part of Square Enix's beloved MMORPG has been given an upgrade in the new Final Fantasy 14 expansion. Yet with those changes come issues - in particular, some of the finer details on player character models are a little out of place, or don't look quite how they did previously. In a new blog post, game director Naoki Yoshida outlines plans to rectify these over the coming patches. Read the rest of the story...

While Dawntrail is a largely beloved expansion, there's been a lot of discussion around the narrative, with Wuk Lamat at the center. This conversation quickly spilled into online hate, directed at the people who make the English-speaking version of FF14 possible - and Yoshida wants it to stop. Read the rest of the story...

FF14 director Naoki Yoshida is "torn" over what to do with the ScionsSep 1, 2024 - PCGamesNThe FF14 Dawntrail story puts the focus on newer characters as it attempts to reset the balance of power after Endwalker, placing its beloved Scions into more background roles. Most of the MMORPG's beloved cast members have already had their moment to shine, and so at Gamescom 2024 I ask game director Naoki Yoshida, best known as 'Yoshi-P,' whether he sees the likes of Thancred, Urianger, and the twins getting all-new story arcs in the future or if he's happy to let them be.

Dawntrail brought improved graphics and the two-dye system, but the MMO's avenues for communication could use work. I'm always staring at the chat box, be that milling around Limsa or in the midst of a tough trial, and Square Enix just showed off multiple ways it's looking to improve how we talk in-game.

The combat content in the MMORPG's new expansion - dungeons, trials, raids, savages, and extremes alike - has all been incredibly well received. It combines the inventive and flashy designs seen during Endwalker with more unique and challenging mechanics, and it's a ton of fun as a result. At Gamescom 2024, I sat down with game director Naoki Yoshida to ask about his plans for the upcoming patches, which include the FF11-adjacent alliance raid and new 24-player savage content.

It takes perhaps the strongest element of the new Final Fantasy expansion - its combat content - and builds on it with a series of bold, dramatic characters reminiscent of pro wrestling, each with their own distinctive personality and a theme song to match. Given the chance to sit down with game director and producer Naoki Yoshida at Gamescom, then, I had to ask the most important question: which of the fighters is his favorite?

The MMO's last expansion, Endwalker, had hour-long queue times and got so popular Square Enix had to stop selling it, but Dawntrail has been effortless in comparison. I played every day during the early access and full launch, with congestion hitting highs of just 100 players. Within minutes I was in the game, and the entire community enjoyed similar stories. This is because Square Enix took plenty of measures to make Dawntrail's launch a simple one, but now one of those features is going away. Read the rest of the story...

Last month it was reported that Tencent was working on a mobile version of the immensely popular MMO Final Fantasy 14, and it appears that said report has been confirmed. Niko Partners shared a report this week stating that China’s National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) approved 15 import games on August 2, which includes some pretty big titles. As stated by Niko Partners, "A mobile game based on Final Fantasy XIV is being developed by Tencent and Square Enix and was approved." Obviously the language there suggests that it'll be its own game, rather than an outright port of the game. Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners shared on his personal Twitter account that this mobile take on Final Fantasy 14 is "expected to be a standalone MMORPG separate from the PC game," so it doesn't exactly sound like you'll be able to take your warrior of light with you in your pocket, at least not for the time being. When asked by someone on Twitter if the game is already done, Ahmad further explained that it "should be close to done" but "it could be another 3 to 6 months before we hear about it from Square Enix."

Not only can you finally enter the Arcadion's over-the-top tournament arc with four new raids, but there are plenty of stunning cosmetics to grind for, too.

Its dungeons and trials are some of the best the decade-old MMORPG has ever seen, its group FATEs are proving an extremely popular and fast way to level your alts, and we're just on the cusp of the release of new FF14 raid The Arcadion.

Learning Viper is challenging, and the new dungeon mechanics can leave you scratching your head at first, but once you master the mechanics, Tural's offerings are top-tier. Now that we're at level 100, though, where do we go from here? How will FF14 remain challenging with a solid sense of progression?

The previous FF14 expansion, Endwalker, managed to largely stick the landing on a ten-year story arc, and that in turn followed on from its most-lauded story to date in Shadowbringers. While endings are hard, new beginnings can be even more challenging. Yet in Dawntrail, Square Enix manages to deliver a story that's both powerful and emotional - if a little corny at times - and, perhaps more importantly, an overall experience that leaves me excited for the future of the MMORPG.

Hidden away on the docks of Tuliyollal, there is one small figure waiting among the busy markets of Tural, and they have sensed that there are hungry bellies throughout the land that begged to be filled. But, what accessible and variable food can be concocted to serve the needs of many people with just one ingredient? Cornservant has some ideas. Read the rest of the story...
