It appears that Square is about to make do on their promises. Square Enix just announced that between late November and early December, more than a year after the game's spectacularly failed launch, the free-to-play period will come to an end. Final Fantasy XIV's 2.0 version will be released next year, featuring numerous changes that will, according to Square Enix, make the game what it should've been when released. "I promise that we will continue to give all FINAL FANTASY XIV players our full attention as we do everything in our power to provide a high-quality service, and as such, would like ask for your continued encouragement and support," says Yoshida. It has also been reported that, in the year leading up to the 2.0 patch, existing players will expirience a new story leading up to the huge change that will effect the world of Eorzea.

Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV Online has the dubious honor of being the only unquestionably bad Final Fantasy game. Not really because of bad design- the game could've been great- but because the game was rushed out the door eight months after it was announced (possibly in order to beat Cataclysm to the market). The game was, simply put, released unfinished- a buggy, boring slog of a game. The game's poor reception led to Square Enix cancelling subscription fees indefinetly and steadily patching the game, promising to improve it into the game it should've been. President Yoichi Wada even publicly apoligised, saying that the Final Fantasy name has been damaged by XIV.

Final Fantasy XIII-2: New Trailer
I'm honestly really excited for this game. I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy, and while I understand why some people really didn't like Final Fantasy XIII (it was different), I still thought it was a good game overall. That said, I'm really looking forward to playing this one. From the looks of things, they've fixed the biggest problems with XIII (excessive linearity, lack of NPC interaction), and I'm quite happy to be playing a new console Final Fantasy game in between this and Versus XIII. The new trailer looks awesome, click the link above (the title of the post) and give it a look!
