Final Fantasy XIV's Annual Heavensturn Event Kicks Off December 31st

Final Fantasy 14 patch 6.55 is now live, adding new main scenario quests, additional chapters to New Game Plus, and more. 

It's been nearly four years since Final Fantasy 7 Remake launched on PlayStation 4, and according to Windows Central managing editor Jez Corden, it might finally be on its way to Xbox.

Keen to avoid some of the mistakes of Final Fantasy 14’s post-Endwalker content run, Square Enix is ensuring Dawntrail gets the flexible open-world content fans have been missing.

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida, better known amongst the Final Fantasy community as Yoshi-P, made some interesting comments regarding Final Fantasy XVII when speaking to former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida on the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Game Maker’s Notebook podcast.

Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail is the next expansion coming to the incredibly popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Since its official announcement back in July 2023, details have been drip-fed from developer Creative Business Unit 3 and the game’s in-person Fan Festival events in Las Vegas, London, and, most recently, Tokyo.

The ground beneath Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura's feet trembled. In his time since serving as character designer and visual director on Final Fantasy VII, his legend has grown substantially. In addition to working on nearly every acclaimed Final Fantasy game since Nomura also helped create the Kingdom Hearts series and has become a figurehead and luminary within the stacked ranks of Square Enix's stable of developers. But this 2015 trip to Los Angeles, California, was different.

Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida, lovingly referred to as Yoshi-P, says the secret to keeping his MMO fresh is to treat it like it isn't an MMO at all.

Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki'  Yoshi-P' Yoshida knows exactly what he'd do if he were to be fired from his current position at Square Enix: he'd keep playing the MMO and just complain to the development team about the state of the game.

A new job is coming to Final Fantasy 14 with this summer’s Dawntrail expansion: the Pictomancer, a magic user who casts their spells with a paintbrush and palette. Square Enix and FF14 producer/director Naoki Yoshida revealed the Pictomancer at this weekend’s Fan Festival 2024 in Tokyo alongside other new additions to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

Seemingly not content with swallowing up Animal Crossing and spitting out its own farm-and-craft minigame, Final Fantasy 14 has apparently now guzzled down Starfield and is readying to unleash its own way to sink dozens of hours into galactic wandering.
