Final Fantasy 14 is a JRPGMMO, but in the midst of all these letters there would also have been room for BR: the game could have included a Battle Royale!
It seems that Square Enix had planned the arrival of a battle royale mode within Final Fantasy XIV , only to discard the idea shortly after. To reveal the curious indiscretion was Naoki Yoshida , producer and director of the famous MMORPG, in an interview with the Japanese portal Gamer.
According to the words of Yoshida, the plans for the battle royale included the involvement of the only class of Blue Mages . The battles would take place within large arenas that, little by little, would be reduced in size, while the players would clash with each other to obtain more and more powerful spells that would help them to obtain the final victory. In the end, however, the authors decided not to carry out this project.
However, Yoshida does not explain the reasons that led to discard the idea, and at this point it cannot be excluded that Final Fantasy XIV never sees the arrival of the battle royale among its game mechanics. In any case, the work on the future contents of the MMORPG continues regularly and, indeed, the next narrative arc of Final Fantasy 14 after Endwalker has already been decided , as revealed by Yoshida himself in the past few weeks.
Furthermore, in recent times, the director of Final Fantasy 14 has rejected the metaverse , considering it not able to offer real entertainment for the players.
