Non-combat features, such as Disciples of the Land and Hand, will also be faithfully implemented and we look forward to growing alongside the passionate Final Fantasy XIV community.”

In its 11th year of service, Final Fantasy XIV is not slowing down, the game continues to see enduring popularity and a growing player base, numerous media accolades, and over 200 awards won, including The Game Awards’ Best Ongoing Game.
