Final Fantasy 14 is an MMORPG that originally launched in 2010 to a rather rocky start. As a result, the game was shut down and a brand-new development team was brought on board before the game relaunched as A Realm Reborn in 2013. Ever since its rebirth, FF14 has gone from strength and strength and has won numerous awards. The game has received four expansions, as well as regular content updates, and has amassed a following of avid fans and players. The world of Eorzea and beyond is filled with plenty for players to sink their teeth into, so we've got guides to help you out in your journey as the Warrior of Light.
Updated July 18, 2023: We've updated this article to add even more guides on the latest content.
