I entered Final Fantasy XIV with A Realm Reborn, only because I was holding out for a console version in a time that I didn't have a PC. Sadly, I didn't get to see the fall of Dalamud, but when I stepped into ARR and became entranced by it's story, I went back and read about what had happened before. It cannot be understated how powerful that moment was in 1.x. It's not the first MMO that had ever destroyed itself before, WoW had Cataclysm, and even Ultima wiped an entire city off the map nearly 2 decades prior. But although the Calamity isn't a new concept to an MMO, none ever did it the way Final Fantasy XIV did. For 6 months players were led to the game's final days. The storyline was written such that the main scenario reads as a desperate attempt to try and stop the drop. Gradually however, the truth became clear. Dalamud could not be stopped. In Ultima, an off screen event simply erased a city. In WoW, Deathwing shows up out of nowhere and wrecks utter havoc. In these cases, players were powerless to prevent or fight against these events. In XIV though, the players were laid bare. In many ways, Dalamud reads as the players themselves failing. When the plot of the game revolves around the heroes of Eorzea rallying to defeat the Empire, and Eorzea is destroyed instead, then arguably the players lost. They failed to save it from the Garlean Empire. Even if it was part of a grand plan to recover the game from the ashes, that kind of storytelling in an MMO requires guts and commitment that I had never seen prior, and one that continues to this day. XIV does what I have never seen an MMO do. It allows players to become powerful, central figures within the world, but never hesitates make it clear that no matter how powerful you are, you are just one person. You can't save everyone, you can't overcome all obstacles on your own, and even once you've reached the height of your power, there is always some threat that you must find a way to rise to. In other words, XIV makes the player responsible for their legacy, not just a random person who accompanies the plot.

I just am struck by how good of a project manager Yoshida is. Like, his way of figuring out hours for a task ("Developer, give me the estimate for if you finish it so fast you feel you'll need an award, to finishing it so slowly that you'd be ashamed to take your pay", and then adjusting as needed) is really great, and the realization that people don't actually work for 8 hours straight, because there's always time needed for talking to people, meeting, and just generally being a human. And because of that, they went from a pretty bad game to a objectively fantastic on (even though it seems it's the same development team, more or less). Just goes to show that you can have the greatest programmers in the world, but you need good management just as much

Nothing will ever beat the real feelings of awe and wonder and amazement of experiencing the realtime progression of Dalamud's descent and the chaos that it brought. Especially knowing that it really would be the destruction of the game's world in the realest sense possible. Greatest of all was the sense of camaraderie and mutual struggle from having this once in a lifetime, shared experience with the other players. I LOVE the new incarnation of the game....but I still miss 1.0. I hope someday they'll do something like in XI where you could journey into the past...and it'll let us go back and re-experience the fall of Dalamud again, even if in a reimagined way.

Yoshida Naoki is a flippin hero, give that guy a medal. I worked for a time at a very busy starbucks; every month management browbeat us for not meeting the sales goals they set for us and yet, every month, they set new, equally unrealistic sales goals. Asking his team to give their best estimates for how very quickly or how very slowly they can do this or that, discovering, surprise surprise, that universally they performed closer to their bad estimates, not browbeating them but instead managing development around the longer estimates, factoring in quality of life down to the minutia of an 8 hour day cannot be expected filled, all 4,800 seconds of it with pure productivity --- I really like this guy!! Understanding that the human factor cannot be disposed of while working for two years on a project that should normally take five --- superb soul, bravo.

This might be your finest work to date. I've never played FF XIV but the story of it's making/unmaking/remaking is really cool! I had no idea they hade a Majora's Mask-esque apocalypse in there! THAT IS SO COOL! Thanks for letting these developers tell their stories!

This is the most badass shit ever. Makes me more hyped to keep playing, I recently stated the free trial and I'm loving it, just got my Chocobo and got my ascension class quest. What a great way of management, can't even imagine the work load.

Funny enough the End of Eorzea is actually what hooked me into this series. My girlfriend had been playing A Realm Reborn for about a month, sometimes screen-sharing with me parts of the game whenever our skypes decided to let it work. And at first I was hesitant because of the stigma of subscription games. But then she talked to me about the 1.X Legacy and showed me that End of Eorzea video. I got hooked. I think it was the month after that I worked out how to afford the subscription and I've been playing ever since. I have played a good number of MMOs before this one, but this one has gotten this massive hook into me because it hits so many things I love. I love this game and I don't see me stopping any time soon.

I dunno, I've found Scrum and Agile to be very useful for a lot of projects. It may not be for every single one, but I think it's generally a good place to start, especially on mid-to-large size teams. Very small teams might not need it, though.

"Why is he against it" SCRUM by design turns people into assets and time-to-target tables. it is also the WORST system to use for animators and artists and conceptual/quality-of-life staff. The worst.

Another beautiful analysis! I have even more respect for the fine folks at SquareE for all the effort they put into FFXIV as shown here. Still cannot believe just how dicey things got even when they were balancing updating a currently running live game while building a new one undercover.... Then having to miraculously come up with a story-based reason as to why the world needed to be destroyed. That section on Dalamud getting more and more ominous was a brilliant touch.

As someone that got the CE and was pretty disappointed in the game, I remember when things shook up and Yoshi P was brought on. Those Letters From The Producer letters really did give the players a lot of hope for the game. I remember talking about them with our Linkshell (Slash Panic for life!) and all of us felt relieved that responsibility was being taken and a plan was laid out. I didn't play through all of what was left, and didn't truly come back to the game until recently, but was blown away Yoshi P is still putting those out. A true legend in the gaming industry.

Just seeing this now and boy is Yoshida-san spot on about his project management estimation. I love his mention of Scrum and Agile Development style. For places that actually implement projects reasonably to the understanding of all parties, estimation is really important depending on "Sprints." And even moreso is that you need to account for other factors and interruptions in the workplace. One thing that many places still fail to understand, like the "Mythical Man Month!"

All the Job quests in 1.0 are essentially the same as 2.0 but with 2.0's backdrop. So it wasn't a new Paladin story quest in 2.0, it was 1.0's story quest in 2.0. It's the class quests that were different.

It kind of explains why Estinien goes through a surprisingly drastic personality change from the vanilla job quests to his role in Heavensward. He's all intense and antagonistic in the original content towards you. In Heavensward though he's still intense, but he's surprisingly a lot more chill and he's totally okay suddenly with another Azure Dragoon being out there, despite how much he didn't seem to like it before HW. It's a bit of an amusing 180 to be honest.

What's interesting about this is that the players' behavior mimics real life in that people band together and take care of one another in the face of a massive natural disaster. Not only that, they stuck around to stay together so that they could be together in the face of certain death. That's beautiful man.

I've seen this documentary so many times and love it. Such a great showcase of triumph from failure. But each time I watch it, I forget they play the sound of the emergency alarm and it chills me each time. Get taken back to the days after the big quakes here and that alarm, and others, were going off constantly throughout the night.

Honestly, seeing this older footage of the game really makes me want to dive into its lore. It's so cool how they subtly built 2.0 off of 1.0 in such a way that old fans could have a unique enjoyment of the new stuff, but new players wouldn't be left in the dust either.

I appreciate that they try to speak english even if it isn't fluent. I understand the gap between english and asian languages is quite large given the different "mouth" and "tongue" sounds that the languages have. I appreciate the effort and the fact anyone can speak both is a feat in itself. My girlfriend fluently speaks both and I just can't wrap my head around japanese at all. I try to speak some words but for me the fluency of japanese will never be there despite my effort. Applause to those able to learn. I'm a proud owner of a day 1 account. I came back after quitting at level 5 due to my PC not being able to run an mmorpg. I came back last year around october. I'm now a proud owner of a level 70 dragoon all MSQ completed. And susano EX(with weapon obtained) and Lakshmi (working on right side gear) ex completed :) I love the game, And this is coming from someone who strayed away from tab targetting. The storyline and story telling is great. The cutscenes are perfect and amazing each and every one. I love the game. I love their hard work.

I know this is a long while since your comment, but the latest patch expanded the free trial to cover ARR and the first expansion, Heavensward, with some pacing fixes for ARR. You may not see the latest, but still get two great Final Fantasy stories. Trial has limits on chat and some other things, but think play in general isn't affected.
