Gameplay takes control of a customized avatar as you explore the land and are caught up in an invasion by the Garlean Empire. Some of the classes are associated with a particular starting point and are divided into four disciplines. Those disciplines are Disciples of War, masters of physical combat; Disciples of Magic, practitioners of the magical arts; Disciples of the Hand, crafters and handymen who synthesize and repair items; and Disciples of the Land, gatherers who collect resources from the environment.
Japan — Since then, expansions have been releasing every two years to boost the player base and keep the game fresh for the fans. The player base grew alongside the release of Heavensward , Stormblood , and Shadowbringers.
But exactly how many players are active in the MMO game? The impact of this is still yet to be seen in Final Fantasy 14 itself, outside of small incidents such as a streamer boosting their character's level, then diving into a difficult raid without any understanding of how to actually play the game.
However, the larger streamers like Asmongold and RichWCampbell are taking their time to go through the game organically, and seemingly enjoying the experience along the way. Many of these new streamers felt disappointed by the latest patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, which is what triggered Asmongold, by far the most popular World of Warcraft streamer to try out the game, after having repeatedly dismissed it in the past.
Regardless, the game has erupted in popularity on Twitch. This correlates well to the queue times many players experienced during this timeframe, meaning that the influence of these streamers cannot be understated when looking at this most recent surge of popularity.
Indeed, this has spawned plenty of memes. In particular, one of RichWCampbell uninstalling World of Warcraft live on stream while a Lalafell player character dances in the background.
Due to the disastrous launch of the original Final Fantasy 14, the team behind A Realm Reborn have always been extremely open and honest with fans about the state of the game, its development and more. In the most recent Fanfest, we saw composer Masayoshi Soken reveal his battle against cancer over the course of the pandemic, with director Naoki Yoshida in tears.
Most recently, the team's response to queue times due to the recent popularity of the game was detailed swiftly, and comprehensively, followed by an apology that some players might not be able to idly dance around in cities or go AFK as often. This kind of open culture breeds a loyal community and fanbase.
Final Fantasy 14's history just got a little bit weirder, but the rapidly expanding player base of over 22 million registered players is just another strong point for Square Enix, who have now firmly steered the game out of disaster, and into a series of well-regarded expansions and now stands as one of the most popular MMORPGs today.
