The initial game, released back in 2010, was a dreadful mess - arguably the first dead-serious mainline Final Fantasy flub ever. Picture everyone at Square Enix heaving sighs of relief, because failing twice to get this flagship MMO off the ground might well have broken the company. And while it’s not trying to reinvent the MMO - who is these days? - it went over well with critics. It’s been in that groove pretty much since.


After some early launch problems with glitchy servers, it settled into a kind of groove.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn arrived for PlayStation 3 and Windows last September.
