Every character can switch between the different classes and jobs and level them independently at any time. There is a total of eleven jobs in the base game and eighteen with all of the expansions. There are nine total classes to start with, and each one leads to a different job that is effectively your class after progressing through the story and reaching level 30 in the starting class. The character creator is sufficient with a handful of different races to pick from and plenty of facial customizations, but then it is time to pick a starting class. Getting started in XIV is rather daunting, especially if one hasn’t done their homework. This culminated in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which launched in August of 2013. The final version of the game, released on November 1, 2012, culminating the story in a massive apocalyptic battle that led to the destruction of the world just before the game was taken down on November 11th, canonizing the game’s reboot into its narrative. But the problems ran too deep to be fixed with only patches, as the issues ran down to the game’s server structure and engine. Yoshida implemented multiple updates, including Chocobo personalization, graphical overhauls, and overhauling the battle system. This lead to Naoki Yoshida taking over as director and being tasked with completely overhauling the game and rebuilding its image in the public eye. Developed and published by Square Enix, it garnered unfavorable reviews at launch, getting a bleak 49/100 on review aggregator Metacritic. A distant follow-up to the series’s previous first into the MMO space, Final Fantasy XI, XIV launched on September 30th, 2010.
After a disastrous launch, the story of Final Fantasy XIV and its redemption is one of the most incredible in the video game industry.
