Square Enix's updated version of MMORPG for PC, PS3 to include new world, new story
Square Enix UK began streaming a 75-second trailer on Thursday for the upcoming release of the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Square Enix will release the updated game on personal computers and the PlayStation 3 console, although the company has not yet set a release date for the game.
Square Enix released Final Fantasy XIV Online for personal computers in September 2010. The new version of the game, previously dubbed "Version 2.0," will be "rebuilt from the ground up" and will include a new world and new story. The game's official website lists the game's story as follows:
The history of Eorzea has been marked by a cycle of prosperous "Astral" and disastrous "Umbral" eras. And now the land stands poised to enter another age of decline, a period known as the Seventh Umbral Era. On the eastern border, the Garlean Empire masses its troops for invasion, while the native beastmen tribes summon their deities.
