What is Final Fantasy XIV Online?
We covered this in detail last time, but Final Fantasy XIV Online is an online massively multiplayer role-playing game boasting a global community over 30 million adventurers strong, and widely regarded as having one of the most welcoming communities on the internet.
Despite the title, a key point is that Final Fantasy XIV Online is a standalone game that doesnt require any previous experience with the franchise, making it the perfect place to jump in. Expect a world filled with bustling cities, towering forests and deadly deserts, with a constantly updated and ever-engaging world taking you to the far reaches of the landand beyondwith a captivating and ongoing story.
If multiplayer games feel a bit overwhelming, FFXIV includes a feature called the Duty Support system that enables tackling content with a party of NPC allies as opposed to other players. This now spans all the main story dungeons currently in the game, meaning you can experience the award-winning narrative all on your own.
Whats Available Now and Whats Coming Next?
Todays launch into Open Beta brings all the content available in the Free Trial to Xbox Series X|S. This means you can enjoy the entirety of A Realm Reborn as well as the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70, with no restrictions on playtime!
All progress made will carry over to the full release when it arrives, giving you plenty of time to get up to speed before our newest expansion, Dawntrail arrives in Summer but more on that another time!

With a world as big as FFXIVs, it can be a bit overwhelming to know where to start. Thankfully, our Starter Guide series has your back. The seven-part video series offers early tips and tricks for new players to get the most out of their adventures in Eorzea.

EPIC FANTASY www.epicfantasy.com combines retroclone FASERIP rules with the open game content (OGC) SRD from the world’s most well known fantasy role-playing game to create a new all-in-one rulebook. It has numerous classes, including all the familiar ones, a modular approach to monsters that produces hundreds of thousands of different ones, and uses the heroic scale of FASERIP, as in the expanded FASERIPopedia rules, to make sure that the fantasy is EPIC – larger than life, heroic, and full of fun and excitement. There are also day / night encounter charts, rules and charts for owning and running your own Barony, weather, a complete world generating sandbox, a city-state generator, pages of items, and a mechanic to remove murder hobos – Wealth or Resources checks using a more abstract but still fun system where Wealth Modifier Treasure Types can be used to give bonuses on rolls. Also due to the universality of the FASERIP ability system, any living being is playable, and there are separate rules for Humanoid Animals if that is the kind of campaign desired. Wizards, a major feature of all fantasy games, have so many different options, arranged logically in their Class section, including Black Magic and Golem making and other variants abilities. Instead of too many almost identical Sleep and Charm spells, Sleep and Mind Control aka “Charming” are treated as basic abilities of all characters with Wizardry – the ability to cast Wizard spells. Also included is a complete system to convert existing OSR and d20 SRD games to EPIC FANTASY, rules to rate yourself and your friends so you can enter the game world as Isekai characters and rules for millions of monsters. There is nothing else anywhere like EPIC FANTASY. This marks a genuine revolution in D&D OGL gaming. EPIC FANTASY also features truly astounding and amazing artwork by over 100 of the top artists in the OGL / D&D gaming sphere. EPIC FANTASY’s rulebook in print is available in paperback or hardcover: https://www.lulu.com/shop/jonathan-nolan/epic-fantasy/paperback/product-mjpzvq.html?page=1&pageSize=4EPIC FANTASY, Role-Playing Game Released
