Truly great news for Final Fantasy XIV Online players. Look forward to many good things like the bunch of new content scheduled to arrive within the year. One of the reasons that made this possible is that Square Enix is supporting the game for the next 10 years.
This was confirmed by none other than Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida in the most recent Letter from the Producer LIVE broadcast. In that same broadcast, Yoshida also shared some of the additions to be introduced to make sure that the game evolves the online RPG experience further.
