But in recent updates, the A Realm Reborn story has seen massive improvements over the original release and subsequent 2.x patches. The story originally could drag on for players. The setting is a High Fantasy one, with an emphasis on Medieval mixed with magic and a fair bit of steampunk technology. The game takes place on a planet known as Hydaelyn mainly in the region of Eorzea, where three city-states make their home. The game is beautifully crafted, has an engaging story, not to mention decent character customization options and varying races to play. Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn is an MMORPG that rose from the ashes of its original release, Final Fantasy XIV Online.
