Final Fantasy XIV Online RPG Slated for 2010 Release

The 14th chapter of the popular Final Fantasy role-playing series is due out next year. Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, which is also slated for a 2010 release, XIV will be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).


Videogame company Square Enix has not released details about Final Fantasy XIV, but a trailer of the game was shown Tuesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Subsequently, Square Enix launched a teaser site for the game, where fans can watch the video.

Final Fantasy XIV appears to take place in medieval times including Chocobos and airships, similar to the setting in Final Fantasy XII.

Square Enix's first online Final Fantasy title was Final Fantasy XI, which was available for Windows PCs, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. Final Fantasy XIV will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs.
