Square Enix hasn't been shy about admitting it mucked up Final Fantasy XIV. Company CEO Yoichi Wada apologized for the game in 2010, and began a restructuring process culminating in the upcoming Realm Reborn update. But all the apologies won't make a difference if Square's designers don't understand the missteps, and the new game director Naoki Yoshida is being very frank about where the first one went wrong.
"When I heard that it was going to go on sale as planned [after the beta], I thought, that will probably be a big mistake," he said.

Square Enix is gearing up for its reboot of Final Fantasy XIV, titled "A Realm Reborn." If a full hour of explaining the new systems and mechanics wasn't enough to satisfy, maybe some splashy editing in a bite-sized format is more to your liking.
The Tokyo Games Show trailer shows off some cinematic moments and promises lasting friendships, deadly foes, and plenty of adventuring. The update is due before the end of the year. Check out the trailer below.

The Final Fantasy franchise is no stranger to oddly-numbered games. (Look no further than Final Fantasy XIII-2, for example.) However, it appears the company didn't want to call its upcoming MMO reboot "Final Fantasy XIV version 2.0." Instead, it's given the revamped online game a new subtitle.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is not only "a symbol of a completely new Final Fantasy XIV, but also marks the beginning of a new stage as the latest title in the Final Fantasy series," director Naoki Yoshida said in the announcement.
