Following the disastrous 1.0 release ofFinal Fantasy 14in 2010, the game was shut down in 2012 and relaunched in 2013 asA Realm Reborn.

Like the Phoenix it reveres,Final Fantasy 14has risen from the ashes of a disappointing launch. With theDawntrailexpansion arriving in 2024, it remains to be seen what Square Enix will do in the next decade.
