Final Fantasy XIV News & Events & Guides

 Expect changes to the ways characters advance, and a new take on the Jobs system — FF XI’s take on traditional role-playing game classes. There’s no word on the combat system, however — will it be turn-based? Or action-oriented, like World of Warcraft? We’ll have to wait and see.

With FFXIV Gil’s launch about a year away, fans of Square’s currently running MMO have no need to worry that their game will be shut down in favor of the new one. We were told that there are no plans to quit development on Final Fantasy XIV Gil, which has over a year’s worth of content waiting in the wings. And while Square Enix plans to support both MMO communities, it’s making the transition to FFXIV Gil easy for fans: Many of the races and character designs will be similar to those available in FFXI, so if you’re attached to a particular avatar, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to re-create its likeness.
