FFXIV ARR Forum - Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Greetings, everyone!
An extremely excited Bayohne here!

Why am I so excited? Because today marks the release of the A Realm Awoken website and trailer!



The massive trailer clocks in at over 10 minutes and features a ton of things to marvel at! I have a hard time picking just one of my favorite scenes in the trailer... Be sure to visit the website for a few more tidbits about content making its debut in the upcoming patch!

As you may, or may not have, seen during the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE, we revealed that patch 2.1 has an official title and logo!...

Greetings, everyone!
Bayohne here, with some news about a special accolade that FFXIV received!

We're pleased to say that FFXIV: A Realm Reborn received the "Special Prize" award at yesterday's PlayStation Awards 2013! This brand-new award was created this year to honor and recognize outstanding titles based on a combination of their buzz-worthiness, influence, performance, and newness.


We were able to achieve this milestone because of the support of our players around the world! We'll continue working hard to...

As we work toward the release of patch 2.1, we'd like to give you a peek at what you can expect in the first major update for FINAL FANTASY XIV. Today, we'll focus on housing.

In order to acquire a house, players must first raise the rank of their free company and obtain a Land Acquisition entitlement.

Residential Districts
Residential districts will be instanced to accommodate fluctuating player populations.

Bayohne here, with another Letter from the Producer LIVE notch on his belt!

We just finished airing the 10th LIVE edition of the fan-favorite Letter from the Producer series and we had a whole lot of goodies to share! If you weren't able to see it live, be sure and check out the Q&A recap thread on the forums. For those that were able to watch, we hope you enjoyed it!

One of the biggest announcements made by Yoshida was the fact that patch 2.1 is planned for release on Dec. 17, 2013! EXCITING!

During the show, we also debuted a new Eorzea Collection 2013 video for fans to enjoy (and comb through for new gear and...minions!)! Take a look!

Even though...

Planned Changes to Warrior in Patch 2.1

Producer and director Yoshi-P here.

I understand that all our warriors out there are eager to know what patch 2.1 has in store for them. While we’re still in the testing stages, I’d like to give you a preview of what we have planned.
