Final Fantasy 14 is getting a companion app alongside May's Under the Moonlight patch, with more content building on the Stormblood expansion. Unfortunately the app isn't quite as snazzy as, the that promised to let players mine for materials by smashing their phones into trees and throwing them into rivers. The Final Fantasy 14 Online Companion App's features are far more humdrum but still super useful, letting players organise their inventory and armoury chest, use the scheduler to organise events, browse the market board and buy and sell items, chat with friends and Free Company members, and register an additional favoured destination Aetheryte. The base app will be free, but players can sign up for the premium version for a monthly fee that comes with additional benefits like doubling saddle bag capacity, allowing players to employ an additional retainer, and letting them organise saddlebag and retainer inventories.

The release date of the app has yet to be confirmed. Patch 4.3 was also announced, bringing a new dungeon, a new raid, new quests, and a new expedition to. The patch will also update jobs, PvP, housing, and more. The highlights from the press release are listed below: • New Main Scenario Quests – The story of Stormblood continues.

• New Alliance Raid – The Ridorana Lighthouse. • New Trial – It’s a secret! • New Dungeon – The Swallow’s Compass. • New Beast Tribe Quests - The Namazu. • New Sidequests – The Four Lords, Doman Reconstruction and Further Hildibrand Adventures.

• New Deep Dungeon – 100-Floor Heaven-on-High. • The Forbidden Land, Eureka Expansion – Pagos Expedition. • New Ultimate Difficulty Raid – Ultima Weapon. • Updates to jobs, PvP, Glamour System, Housing, Performance Actions, new more powerful gear and more. Under the Moonlight patch 4.3 is scheduled to go live in late May. The free Final Fantasy 14 trial is still available, giving players free reign in the game up to level 35.

Rising from the ashes By In the beginning there was and it was not good. For most games, the story would’ve ended there.

But Square Enix, perhaps feeling that its prized franchise's name was in danger of becoming too literal, undertook a mammoth effort to keep Final Fantasy’s legacy from being marred by such a disaster. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is the resulting do-over, and it’s a huge success on PC, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.

Beautiful, fun, and only a bit uneven in the late game, this dramatic reinvention easily establishes itself as one of the most sincere and effective apologies in gaming history. First there's the continent of Eorzea itself, a stunning world of forests, deserts, and coasts that often delivers wallpaper-worthy moments, such as a the sight of watching the sun rise over the waters of the resort of Costa Del Sol. It's filled with weather effects ranging from simple fog to torrential rainstorms and even humdrum overcast days. It's even easy to get around in, thanks for aetheryte crystals that serve as teleportation locations at every major town, although the zones remain large enough that the immersion of walking or riding isn't lost amid crowded portals. True to Final Fantasy tradition, Masayoshi Soken's entirely new musical score is a constant pleasure, and it jumps smoothly from soothing tracks to heavy metal riffs on bosses like Titan. I also note that my character can sit down on most surfaces that looked as though they were made for sitting – a test I use to determine how much attention a world designer pays to detail.
