Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Review

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a relaunch of the original MMO Final Fantasy XIV. The original was released in 2010 and shut down less than two years later due to incredibly negative reviews. In an attempt to recover from that failing, A Realm Reborn takes place five years in the future from Final Fantasy XIV.

Story

You have entered Eorzera, a region in the fictional world of Hydaelyn. Where you start specifically in that world depends on which race you have chosen to play as. But regardless, the game starts in the same way for everyone.

You have a dream where you defeat a masked man all in black using a shining sword of light. When you return to reality, your world is as you remember. You run errands for the local Adventuring guild. But then a secret society anoints you as a chosen one. You are meant to be a representative of the Mothercrystal.
