Overmental: Recently, I started playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and I’m loving everything about it so far. I started out with the free trial, and I’ve since purchased the full game with plans to resub once my 30 days are up.
TheGamer Interviewed Naoki Yoshida: "A lot of people have been playing together with me and they don't even realize it."
The harbor is your first location, from where you can run off to different neighborhoods. You can find the Aetheryte square quickly, the other parts are already laid out gradually. Basic insight: Tulliollal is built on a hill, so it has an even larger vertical footprint than, for example, Old Sharlayan in Endwalker. While the harbor is down, the royal palace is all the way up, and you can wander into different nooks and crannies.
Naoki Yoshida talks about testing content himself, playing with fans under cover, and how most future FFXIV jobs will be original.
