Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV, an MMORPG released in 2010, was a part of the renowned Final Fantasy series and the second MMORPG in the franchise. It unfolded in the magical world of Eorzea, where players controlled personalized avatars, embarking on adventures, confronting the Garlean Empire's invasion, and dealing with the primal, powerful beings worshipped by beastmen tribes.
With a troubled development history and a rocky initial launch, the game faced criticism for various aspects like gameplay, interface, and perceived unfinished quality. The game's development, codenamed "Rapture," began in 2005, leading to its official announcement in 2009 for Windows and PlayStation 3.
It used the Crystal Tools middleware engine by Square Enix, which had to be adapted to suit the game's unique requirements. However, development challenges, including disagreements with Microsoft for an Xbox 360 version and a negative reception at launch, led to a suspension of subscription fees and the eventual reimagining of the game as "A Realm Reborn."
Under the guidance of Naoki Yoshida, the reimagined version of Final Fantasy XIV replaced its predecessor and marked a significant success with a favorable reception upon its release. The original version ceased operations in 2012, while "A Realm Reborn" became a well-received entry in the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy XIV Gameplay
In the world of Final Fantasy XIV, players experience a captivating gameplay adventure. They created their own unique Adventurer avatars, choosing from various races and tribes.
These avatars could be finely customized, from their appearance and attributes to their tribe and patron deity, each affecting their abilities. Depending on where players started their journey, the game's opening sequences could differ, offering a diverse beginning experience.
Players embarked on quests, with two main categories available: story quests and Levequests (leves). While story quests unfolded as characters gained experience and new abilities, Levequests provided side missions that adventurers could access through Adventurers' Guilds.
These quests were tied to non-playable characters, and as players completed them, they earned favor with different factions. Gaining favor unlocked new abilities and rewards, although Faction leves consumed favor. Unlike its predecessor, Final Fantasy XI, which heavily focused on party-based gameplay, Final Fantasy XIV allowed players to adventure solo more often, requiring manual actions for every move in combat, without any auto-attacks.
As characters defeated foes, crafted items, and completed quests, they accumulated experience points (EXP), ultimately raising their levels, which impacted attributes like health, magic points, and available abilities. Classes were divided into four disciplines: Disciples of War, Disciples of Magic, Disciples of the Hand, and Disciples of the Land, each with its unique focus. Players could learn abilities from one class and use them in another.
The later-introduced Job System provided a more specialized and powerful approach to gameplay, where players took on roles inspired by classic Final Fantasy character jobs, perfectly suited for party-based combat. This comprehensive gameplay experience made Final Fantasy XIV an engaging and immersive MMORPG.
