After the release of Endwalker, the latest expansion of final fantasy XIV, Square Enix decided to withdraw this MMORPG from digital stores last December. Fortunately, today it has been revealed that this title will return to be available for all interested parties at the end of this month.
Through a statement, Naoki Yoshida, producer of the game, revealed that next January 25, 2022, final fantasy XIV will return to digital stores worldwide. Along with this, that same day a new Data Center will be available in Oceania, which will add five new worlds, and allow more people to enter this virtual world. This was what was said about it:
“Since its official release on December 7 of last year, Endwalker has experienced extremely high levels of congestion, leading to great frustration for our players. There is also the task of rebalancing jobs, and we will continue to work on this and other adjustments.
While certain worlds continue to experience congestion during peak hours, our plan to fundamentally address the issue is beginning to take shape.”
Along with the opening of the Data Center in Oceania, Square Enix also plans to expand its Japanese, European and North American data centers. The first of these territories will receive its new data center in July 2022, which will add a fourth logical data center and increase the game’s capacity by 50,000. Meanwhile, the other two regions will receive a server expansion in two phases, starting in July 2022 and August 2022, respectively.
Although these measures will be able to remedy congestion problems little by little, Yoshida does not rule out the possibility of withdrawing FFXIV of the digital stores once again if the problems persist in the future. Let’s hope this is not the case, and players get to enjoy the acclaimed MMORPG once again.
On related issues, the development of final fantasy xvi It has been delayed. Similarly, a mod transforms Final Fantasy 7 Remake in the PS1 classic.
Editor’s note:
It’s good to see that Square Enix is doing everything they can to make sure that their most successful title of the moment is treated with the love and respect that it deserves. Undoubtedly, final fantasy XIV is the MMORPG of the generation, and I can’t wait to see what Naoki Yoshida will do as director of FFXVI.
