Final Fantasy XIV is Square Enix's MMORPG set in Eorzea. The original 2010 version failed, and the studio relaunched it as A Realm Reborn. Every expansion since has carried a long storyline that many fans rank among the best in the Final Fantasy series.

One character can learn every job, and switching roles is as simple as switching weapons. Much of the story can be played solo, with required dungeons and trials filled through the duty finder. Veterans chase Savage and Ultimate raids, while outside combat there is crafting, gathering, housing, fishing, the Gold Saucer's mini-games and a deep glamour system.

It suits players who care about story and a relaxed pace, as well as raiders who value clean mechanics. PvP is a sideline, and combat is built on rotations around the global cooldown.
