Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix. It was released worldwide for Windows and PlayStation 3 in August 2013. The original Final Fantasy XIV, released in September 2010, was a commercial and critical failure.
In response, then-Square Enix President Yoichi Wada announced that a new team, led by Yoshida, would take over and attempt to fix the issues with it. This team was responsible for generating content for the original version as well as developing a brand new game which would address all of the previous release’s criticisms. The original version shut down in November 2012 and was followed by an alpha test for Version 2.0.
