Collector's item: The PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy XIV is no longer playable because support for this version ended in 2017. This release is offered as a collectible piece of Final Fantasy history, rather than a playable game.

Item Condition

Complete in box: the disc, the manual and the original case, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are our own, taken from our stock of this game — look them over for condition, packaging and details. The disc is resurfaced when it needs it and tested before listing: it starts up, but the game can't be played because the PS3 service has ended. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Final Fantasy XIV is the rare game that was allowed to fail and then rebuilt into something remarkable. The original 2010 release drew such heavy criticism that Square Enix handed the project to a new team led by Naoki Yoshida, who kept the old version running while an entirely new game was built in parallel, then ended version 1.0 with an in-world apocalypse: the lesser moon Dalamud breaking apart to release the elder primal Bahamut. A Realm Reborn picks up five years after that Calamity, in the Seventh Umbral Era, and in 2013 it became the first time Final Fantasy XIV appeared on a PlayStation console.

Eorzea is classic Final Fantasy built as a living world. You begin in one of three city-states, Limsa Lominsa, Gridania or Ul'dah, and the Armoury system lets you switch classes simply by changing the weapon in your hand, so the same character can tank as a Gladiator, heal as a Conjurer and craft or gather on the side. Classes grow into jobs like Paladin, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragoon and Summoner, and the main scenario sends you against the primals Ifrit, Titan and Garuda before a showdown with the Garlean Empire at Castrum Meridianum and the Praetorium. Chocobos, airships, Moogles and a Cid all turn up, and the music, led by Masayoshi Soken with contributions from Nobuo Uematsu, gave the series some of its most stirring modern themes.

The relaunch turned into one of gaming's great comeback stories, growing through expansions such as Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers into a pillar of the franchise with a devoted community. The PlayStation 3 version was there at the very start, launching alongside the PC release in August 2013, and Square Enix ended PS3 support in 2017 as the game's technology moved on. That makes this release a piece of Final Fantasy history rather than a way into Eorzea today.

For a collector, that history is the appeal. A Realm Reborn on PS3 marks the moment the series' online world found its footing on PlayStation, the platform where so much Final Fantasy history was made, and it belongs on the shelf beside the numbered entries as the release that began XIV's second life.
