Naoki Yoshida wishes us her best wishes for the New Year and reminds us of what awaits us soon: Leviathan and the rest of Bahamut Maze.
Dear players,
This is Naoki Yoshida, processor / director of FFXIV: ARR.
I wish you all my best wishes for the New Year.
With the game's release and the official launch of the service on August 27, 2013 marks Year 1 of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. The development and management teams join me in thanking you all around the world for embarking on your adventure in Eorzea.
Update 2.1, titled "A Realm Awoken", was implemented on December 17th. We've included a lot of awakening-themed game elements, including the Epic Sequel, Wolves' Den (PvP), Housing, Tribal Quests, Crystal Tower - the Ancient Daedalus, three new dungeons, extreme mode battles against the Primals, the treasure hunt and the esthetician.
Having finished my work for the year 2013, I will finally be able to travel the world of Eorzea like all of you, take on the challenge of the Crystal Tower, go explore dungeons with the random mission function and put those of you to sleep. who will have the misfortune to cross my path at the Wolf's Den. ?
With everything I had to do last year, I didn't have a lot of time to devote to high-level play, but I finally made it to the Bahamut V Labyrinth. As I have to take a trip to it. 'business abroad next week, I think I will fully immerse myself in Eorzea for a few days before going there.
We are now in 2014, a number that bodes well for the fourteenth opus in the FINAL FANTASY series. I can already tell you that the beta test of the PlayStation®4 version will begin on February 22, the date of the release of this console in Japan. We are in the process of making sure that all players who own it can participate without having to register first. The PlayStation®4 version will offer many new possibilities, thanks in particular to the sharing function or remote play with the PlayStation®Vita. We plan to release it in April!
Of course, we continue to work alongside the development of the next update, 2.2. The new Primordial that will be introduced on this occasion, I mean Leviathan that all fans of the FF series know, is already wreaking havoc on the development team. We will also be adding new game systems, items and materials and also the Bahamut Labyrinth sequel.
The keyword for this 2.2 update will be "whirlwind".
This year 2014 will also be marked by a series of events for fans, by a world tour and by many other surprises. So I hope you will stay loyal to FFXIV.
Well ... like every year, a short poem was discovered and it was sent to me. Could it be that he is announcing future changes in Eorzea?
What fate can await you, Warriors of the Light ...?
You'll find out in 2014 in FINAL FANTASY XIV!
Naoki Yoshida
Producer / Director of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn
