"Final Fantasy XIV is on the track to possibly becoming one of the biggest redemptions in gaming history. Released for the PC in 2010, the game was marked by its overwhelming critical and commercial failures; numerous personnel shifts followed and the game was scaled back into a Beta stage. A significant amount of subscribers have remained since then, following the games progress from its messy launch to its now total revamp. Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 – officially named, A Realm Reborn – is on the horizon, with the promise of restoring the game to the status of a respectable MMO and re-establishing its mainstream attention."
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
I'm giddy like a school girl.......
I hope this works out.
I jumped back into FFXI because I missed playing a FF flavored MMORPG.
I've been reading the dev team notes and schedule of all of the FFXIV changes and additions, and it's all pretty exciting.
So I'll probably jump into this game soon.
my excitement for ff is jumping once again, if this game fails..............
Can't wait for the Nov PS3 BETA.
i did order this game for version 2.0,copy coming this friday.
square enix might be many things but to fire almost the whole team that worked for ff14 and rebuild everything from scratch...engine,world,UI,anim ations,skills etc etc they have my respects for that.
