Final Fantasy 14 could be gearing up for another massive change, as the game’s Director has confirmed that some kind of renewal is on the cards, one that could overhaul Eorzea.
Final Fantasy 14 is a rare example of a game dying and being reborn, as the first iteration was so poorly received that it was taken offline and reworked. The gambit paid off, as its revamped version, A Realm Reborn, would go on to become the most highly-acclaimed and profitable game in the series.
It seems that another rebirth is on the cards. In an interview with Korean outlet Inven, Final Fantasy 14 Director Naoki Yoshida said (via machine translation) about looking forward to the next decade and rethinking everything from scratch, as part of a second iteration of the game.
What Would A Second Final Fantasy 14 Rebirth Look Like?
Yoshida is almost certainly talking about switching engine, bringing Final Fantasy 14 into a new form that looks and runs better. This is understandable, as the game is showing its age, even on the current gen systems, and there are limits to what it can accomplish.
It’s unlikely that Final Fantasy 14 will undergo another “A Realm Reborn” moment, where the world is recreated with familiar characters and a new story is started. This is because too many people are already invested in the current iteration of Eorzea, and wiping out all that progress would cause a lot of people to quit the game.
The big question is when this next version of Final Fantasy 14 will be released. It’s likely that it will coincide with the next console generation, considering those are a few years away, as it gives the developers time to prepare for the future platforms. A Realm Reborn’s fifteenth anniversary is happening in 2028, which might also be an ideal release window for the update.
