Although a decade old, Final Fantasy XIV remains one of the best live-service (https://www.destructoid.com/top-10-best-live-service-games-out-now-ranked/) games/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 commemorating FFXIV's 10th anniversary, Square Enix is adapting the game into a tabletop RPG (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/cae92fb4d902787f12152b3764f5282694b55b78). Many popular games make their way to the tabletop format and FFXIV is not a bad pick to adapt.
Based on the announcement and teaser website, FFXIV TTRPG operates something like Dungeons & Dragons. Anywhere from 3-5 players work as adventurers in Eorzea to complete quests and go on TTRPG hijinks. Also like D&D, a gamemaster manages sessions and controls the general pacing assuming the players don't hijack the session.
A starter set (https://na.store.square-enix-games.com/final-fantasy-xiv-ttrpg-starter-set) is 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 the FFXIV development team to give players/gamemasters an introduction to its structure. It's not a bad deal assuming everything included is high-quality.
I love FFXIV and D&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 up FFXIV TTRPG has 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 out FFXIV.
