Although a decade old,Final Fantasy XIVremains one of thebest live-servicegames/MMORPGs to jump into. Its sprawling narrative and fascinating world were big draws to players like me, and now fans will can experience the world again from a new perspective.
In commemoratingFFXIV‘s 10th anniversary, Square Enix is adapting the game into atabletop RPG. Many popular games make their way to the tabletop format andFFXIVis not a bad pick to adapt.
Based on the announcement and teaser website,FFXIV TTRPGoperates something likeDungeons & Dragons. Anywhere from 3-5 players work as adventurers in Eorzea to complete quests and go on TTRPG hijinks. Also likeD&D, a gamemaster manages sessions and controls the general pacing assuming the players don’t hijack the session.
Astarter setis all that’s available, but for $60 it comes with guidebooks for players and gamemasters along with some accessories like a map and character tokens. There are also multiple scenarios pre-planned by theFFXIVdevelopment team to give players/gamemasters an introduction to its structure. It’s not a bad deal assuming everything included is high-quality.
I loveFFXIVandD&D, so this package is tailor-made for me. Potentially remaking my Miqo’te as a tabletop character is an awesome prospect and already a big sell for me.
Anyone who wants to pick upFFXIV TTRPGhas to wait until May 2024 for it to come out. Pre-orders are available on Square Enix’s website, and the wait gives me enough time to pester my friends into trying outFFXIV.
