Final Fantasy XIV also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released in September 2010 for Microsoft Windows, with a PlayStation 3 port in development. The game is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game and is developed and published by Square Enix. The game takes place in a land called Hydaelyn, mainly in a region named Eorzea, which has a contemporaneously aesthetic blend of science fiction and classic fantasy elements. The game was released in Japanese, English, French, and German.
Races
So far there are five playable races in Final Fantasy XIV, all similar to the races from Final Fantasy XI. The goal of the developers was to create an atmosphere of aesthetic familiarity to players of FFXI. On April 13, 2011 Naoki Yoshida, through a Community Representative on the Final Fantasy XIV Official Forums, announced that Miqo'te and Roegadyn would no longer be genderlocked. Male Miqo'te and female Roegadyn will become available around the same time as the PS3 client release. They have since clarified that they will be released along with the 2.0 Version Reboot.
Hyur (ヒューラン Hyūran?)
A race that is more or less human. They are divided into the Midlanders and the Highlanders. The Midlanders place a heavy emphasis on education, and are generally considered to be the most cultured people of the world. Physically larger and bulkier than their Midlander cousins, the Highlanders once governed the grand city-state of Ala Mhigo, which was invaded and razed by the Garlean Empire. With their homeland destroyed and their numbers decimated, the Highlanders now eke out their existence as mercenaries. While the Midlander clan offers both sexes as playable characters, only males of the Highlander clan are playable, but females are planned to be released along side the 2.0 version of the game. Hyur are similar to the Humes from XI.
Elezen (エレゼン Erezen?)
An elf-like race and the original inhabitants of Eorzea. They are divided into the Wildwood and the Duskwight Elezen. The Wildwood live in the forests and possess a keen sense of sight – a contributing factor in their unparalleled expertise as archers. The Duskwight are a reclusive clan who dwell in caves and caverns, which has given them a heightened sense of hearing. The two clans seem to dislike each other immensely. Elezen are similar to the Elvaan from XI.
Lalafell (ララフェル Raraferu?)
Physically diminutive humanoids of high agility and intelligence from the southern regions. They are divided into the Plainsfolk and the Dunesfolk. The Plainsfolk are a very earthy clan who thrive on the prairies. The Dunesfolk literally live on the backs of enormous beasts of burden and are known for wearing gemstones in their foreheads that signify their zodiacal signs. Lalafell are similar to the Tarutaru from XI.
Roegadyn (ルガディン Rugadin?)
A physically large and muscular race who hail from the northern regions. They are divided into the Sea Wolves and the Hellsguard. The Sea Wolves were once a band of fearsome pirates, but have since largely abandoned that lifestyle; presently they are normally employed as sailors or naval mercenaries. The Hellsguard dwell in a volcanic region and are said to be masters of the magical arts, guarding the gateway to Hell itself. Currently, only male Roegadyn are playable, but females are planned to be released along side the 2.0 version of the game. Roegadyn are similar to the Galka from XI.
Miqo'te (ミコッテ Mikotte?)
Cat-like humanoids who are divided into two religious sects: the Seekers of the Sun, who are dedicated to the sun goddess Azeyma the Warden, and the nocturnal Keepers of the Moon, who are dedicated to the moon goddess Menphina the Lover. Player character Miqo'te are not limited to the two aforementioned goddesses, however; they may follow any deity of their choosing. Currently, only female Miqo'te are playable, but males are planned to be released alongside the 2.0 version of the game. Miqo'te are similar to the Mithra from XI.
