Square Enix announced today that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is now available in North America. Now, players on Windows PC and the PS3 can adventure together in the first Final Fantasy title thanks to its cross-platform functionality. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn takes place five years after the realm of Eorzea was ravaged by the unleashing of Bahamut, the most powerful of the god-like Primals. As players explore the world and learn more details in the epic storyline, they can hone their skills with the Armoury System. This unique gameplay feature allows characters to change their role, abilities, and skills on-the-fly, without having the need to create multiple characters.
Naoki Yoshida, producer and director of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, said:
“We are extremely proud of all the work and effort spent creating FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, and I hope that both new and old players enjoy this FINAL FANTASY experience.
