Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy XIV’s sweeping version 2.0 update finally has an official name: A Realm Reborn. Originally announced in October 2011, version 2.0 re-launches Final Fantasy XIV, adding a new map system, new client software and more.
During E3, Square Enix detailed Final Fantasy XIV version 2.0, describing that only one Ifrit summon will be available per server. The update will also add a new graphics engine, tweak XIV’s battle regimen system and expand the role of Chocobos.
Producer Naoki Yoshida commented that “Since announcing our plans for the future of the title last October, we have been working tirelessly to include all of the elements that we have promised in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This new title not only becomes a symbol of a completely new Final Fantasy XIV, but also marks the beginning of a new stage as the latest title in the Final Fantasy series.”
Square Enix previously said that an alpha test of A Realm Reborn would begin in September, with the final release to follow in late 2012 or early 2013.
