at the end of a day a final fantasy game is ‘a game made by square enix that is called final fantasy’

>but FFXIV? This is literally a brand new IP, leeching off an established brand that has been dead for the last 15 years 

so what this person is saying is they’ve never actually touched FFXIV

I would honestly put FFXI and FFXIV closer to what the traditional idea of a “Final Fantasy” is than FFXIII as well as just being good games.

isn’t FF14 literally set in a variant of Ivalice?

Sssort of? There’s an upcoming storyline/raid that’ll start soon called “Return to Ivalice” and through some magical shenanigans involving Omega Weapon we’ll be going somewhere that’s just being called Ivalice and it’ll involve the Zodiac somehow. The actual Ivalice creator is acting as guest director/creator for this content

It really isn’t a “sort of”. FFXIV isn’t set in an alternate anything. It (originally, and may still in the future) borrows ideas and concepts from XI (e.x. All the races are based off XI ones sans Au Ra which are a FFXIV original), as well as other installments in the series (the Crystal tower is a big homage to FFIII).

Apparently, parts of 1.0s story were very similar to FF7 too.
