Online role-playing game Final Fantasy XIV‘s launch was an enormous disappointment. Not only did Square Enix president Yoichi Wada apologise for the game, boot the original team from the project, he also said FFXIV damaged the Final Fantasy brand. That may change, because today, Square Enix is relaunching the game as with a Version 2.0.

I give them credit for not giving up on the game but I think the time and money could have gone to better projects.

Maybe this time, it will actually work well.
