Seeing people who are familiar with the content talking about it, we’re hoping it will get new players interested in playing previous Final Fantasy games.”īut Yoshida’s team hasn’t stopped with Final Fantasy games. “The people who are familiar with the content and as well as those who haven’t had a chance to play the original games must have fun with it. “Every time we try to come up with ideas to incorporate elements from the Final Fantasy franchise and how to implement it in XIV, it’s not just about literally bringing the element in but making sure it’s enjoyable and integrates into the world,” he added. The ideas for this kind of content typically start with me, but there are certain elements where people within the team pitched their own ideas. “There’s one person on the development staff who really loved Final Fantasy VIII and really wanted to get Triple Triad in there, so he presented the idea to me, it evolved, and was implemented in the game.
“With things like Triple Triad, there was always the concept among the team that we wanted to have an interesting card game-type content in XIV,” Yoshida said. According to Yoshida, the developers enjoy bringing other elements-like Magitek armor from Final Fantasy VI, the Gold Saucer attraction from Final Fantasy VII, and card game Triple Triad from VIII-as ways to introduce early Final Fantasy games to players who may not have touched them. We’re working towards implementing it.”Īdditionally, players can expect more legacy items and instances, both from previous Final Fantasy titles and other games in Square Enix’s catalog. “We’ve heard people and their desire for mod support and we acknowledge that. “We’re working on mod support UI integration for those who are looking into ,” Yoshida said. He noted that the team is looking into ways to add it into the PC version, slowly but surely.
Speaking with GameSpot during GDC, Yoshida said the development team recognizes that players want mod support for the fantasy MMO. Mod support is on its way to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, according to director and producer Naoki Yoshida.
