Square-Enix has today released a list of names of the servers that will be used for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn during phase 3 of the beta test. Currently, they will be divided into two groups. A group for only new people to join in, and a group for Legacy memebers which they can use to transfer their characters from 1.0 version of the game. Brand new servers are named after popular enemies from the Final Fantasy series, while servers for Legacy members retained their names from 1.0 version. The servers are also divided between being Japanese and North American, but it doesn't mean that people, for example, from Japan can't join to play with people from North America. It only refers to the location where those servers are being kept. Please click "Read More" for the full list of the servers.

Square Enix has apparently decided that there just can't be enough versions of Final Fantasy IV, as such the company has released yet another port of the beloved SNES classic, this time for Android.
The port is based on the Nintendo DS remake of the game, and therefore features updated graphics and other enhancements over the original SNES version. It can be purchased now on the Google Play store.

Perhaps one of the most difficult challenges that a video game developer can have is keeping its fan-base happy; gamers are a skeptical bunch that don’t tend to react well to change. It is this mentality that makes the task of developing for a long-running, fanatically loved franchise one of the most difficult in the industry. As developers try to find ways to keep the franchise new and exciting they are effectively walking a tight-rope; all it takes is just one wrong step and the series’ reputation is damaged inexorably.

Despite receiving decent critical reception, there is simply no denying that some of the series’ fervor has been dampened in the wake of Final Fantasy XIII, so much so that its direct sequel is one of the worst-selling Final Fantasy titles released on home consoles. But as time moves on I can’t help but ask the question “Have we been too harsh on Final Fantasy XIII?”
