FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE PASSES 14 MILLION PLAYERS WORLDWIDE AS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS BEGIN
SQUARE ENIX is proud to announce the global community for the critically-acclaimed FINAL FANTASY XIV Online continues to expand with more than 14 million registered* Warriors of Light as of today. Revealed on the eve of celebrations marking the successful MMO’s fifth anniversary, this means an additional 4 million adventurers have journeyed to Eorzea in the past year alone.
Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida had the following message:
“Although the original FINAL FANTASY XIV failed to meet expectations, through the support of people in the media, the companies we have worked with, and of course our dedicated players, we were able to launch A Realm Reborn in 2013. FFXIV was indeed reborn, and over the course of these past five years, it has grown to become the title that we all know and love today. I cannot thank you enough.
“We in the development and operations teams have been working at full capacity ever since the launch of A Realm Reborn, and while we have made our share of missteps along the way, the Warriors of Light continue to spur us onward.
“There are many new gaming experiences and epic tales that we wish to share with you all. We will be working harder than ever to expand the world of FFXIV, where players form lasting bonds with one another through their adventures.
“FINAL FANTASY XIV is the result of everyone’s passion and commitment, including all of you Warriors of Light, and I hope you will continue to support us as we build this world together.”
Celebrations for the fifth anniversary are currently taking place in the form of The Rising event, which will continue until 18th September. More information on the event can be found here: http://sqex.to/Lez
