#FINAL FANTASY XIV A REALM REBORN TRIAL#

On November 11th, 2012, the original version of Final Fantasy XIV was shut down. In January of 2011, Yoshida announced via a blog post that the team intended to make a 'Version 2.0', and that it had begun development. These limitations, combined with the potential damage the Final Fantasy brand would sustain were the changes not fixed, led the team to decide to completely rebuild the game from the ground up, a project named Final Fantasy XIV: Version 2.0 at the time. While the changes made to the original game were welcomed by fans, many other changes could not be implemented due to limitations in the original game's engine and servers. Combined, these led many systems to be removed (Fatigue system, Physical levels, etc.) or reworked (Guildleves), in an attempt to fix the game's issues. Filling in both roles would be Naoki Yoshida, then a relative unknown among fans of Square Enix titles.ДЇollowing his appointment, Yoshida prioritized communication, both internally and with the playerbase, as well as researching modern MMOs rather than basing Final Fantasy XIV on its predecessor. Among a number of other changes, this internal turmoil led the game's producer, Hiromichi Tanaka, and director, Nobuaki Komoto, to leave their roles on the game. A New Leader and A Realm RebornДЇollowing the game's extremely negative reception, widespread internal changes occurred as the Final Fantasy XIV development team attempted to respond to the game's criticism.
