Starting development in 2005 under the codename "Rapture", FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE was announced in 2009 for Windows and the PlayStation 3. It ran on Square Enix's Crystal Tools middleware engine, which was adjusted to suit the game's specifications. During development, the team carried over multiple aesthetic elements from FFXI while creating something that stood on its own. Due to several factors, the development was beset by problems that would later have drastic effects on the game. Attempts to bring the game to Xbox 360 consoles fell through due to disagreements with Microsoft about the use of Xbox Live. After its alpha test and a delayed beta test, the game went live on September 30, 2010, remaining active until its servers were closed on November 11, 2012. At launch, the game received a mixed to negative reaction: while the graphics and music met with general praise, other aspects were unanimously panned, including the gameplay, interface, and the general impression of the game being unfinished at launch. Critic and fan backlash caused Square Enix to pull subscription fees, indefinitely postpone the PlayStation 3 version, and eventually develop an entirely new version of the game called FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE: A REALM REBORN. The poor reception has had a serious impact on the FINAL FANTASY series, with both staff and company officials saying that the brand had been damaged.

Discovery is an open-world tab-target MMORPG inspired by Chinese culture and mythology. Legend says the giant Pan Gu split the heavens from the earth, and when he died his body became the world: its mountains and rivers, its forests, and every herb and mineral that grows from them. And you can cross all of it in free flight. Take to the skies whenever you want, soar over the peaks and dive into the valleys, in a world that changes around you. Clouds drift across the mountains, rain sweeps over the plains, and snow falls on the frozen north. That world is now at war. Hades has raised an army of the Soulless that marches across Pan Gu's lands, burning villages and turning the fallen into new soldiers. His hold runs deeper than the battlefield. Hades controls the production of every resource in the world, and no weapon or armor of real power can be made without taking something from him. You arrive as a newcomer from one of three races and grow into a hero through a story where every quest leads to the next and every level matters. Reach new horizons, unite the three peoples against a common enemy, forge your gear from what you tear away from Hades, and at level 30 choose your path: God or Evil. Discovery is built to be the next generation of MMORPG engine and game design. It is a Plus experience, made for players who want to enter a world, play, progress, and war for recurses.
