If you haven’t yet purchased a PS4, this title may not be worth the $400 investment by itself, but if you’ve already moved on to the next generation, this upgrade is a no brainer. The only caveat is that doing so will remove your license for the game on PS3. All players who own the PS3 version of Final Fantasy 14 can automatically upgrade and download the title on PS4 for free. PS3 players with a PS4 wondering if they should upgrade to the new version have already had that decision made for them by Square Enix. The PS3 release expanded the game to a larger audience, although most reviews noted that compromises were made to get the game over to consoles, most notably in graphics and framerate. The re-release of the game on PC received universally positive reviews with many reviewers saying they were astounded at just how much Square Enix was able to fix in just two years of re-development. Most gamers know the story by now of how Square Enix managed to save its flagship series by rebuilding the game from scratch and releasing what was essentially a “mulligan” in 2013.

Quests were broken, the frame rate was awful, combat was a joke in short, the title got very little right and everything else wrong.

I first played Final Fantasy 14 back in 2010 in its original form and like a lot of gamers, I came away thinking that Square Enix had finally succeeded in killing off its most valuable franchise.
