In response, then-Square Enix President Yoichi Wada announced that a new team, led by Yoshida, would take over and attempt to fix the issues with it. The original Final Fantasy XIV, released in September 2010, was a commercial and critical failure. As Eorzea recovers and rebuilds, the player must deal with the impending threat of invasion by the Garlean Empire from the north. Through the gods' blessing, the player character escapes the devastation by time traveling five years into the future.

At the conclusion of the original game, the primal dragon Bahamut escapes from its lunar prison to initiate the Seventh Umbral Calamity, an apocalyptic event which destroys much of Eorzea. Final Fantasy XIV takes place in the fictional land of Eorzea, five years after the events of the original 2010 release.

Directed and produced by Naoki Yoshida, it was released worldwide for PlayStation 3 and Windows in August 2013, as a replacement for the failed 2010 version of the game, with support for PlayStation 4, OS X, and PlayStation 5 releasing later.
