Final Fantasy XIV is coming and new website launched

Today, Square Enix updated the official website of its forthcoming game, FINAL FANTASY XIV, providing a deeper glimpse into the clans within each of the races. As previously revealed, the inhabitants of Eorzea, the realm that serves as the setting for the game, are:

· The Elezen – Noble and Refined – Tall, slim, with highly sensitive ears, the traditionally nomadic race formerly claimed sole dominion over Eorzea. Throughout history, their relations with the Hyur have been tense and plagued by warfare, though the two races coexist peacefully at present.

· The Lalafell – More Clever by Half – Short and rotund in stature, they are known for their incredible agility as well as their highly developed and cunning intellects.

· The Hyur – Diversity in Numbers – The most populous race in Eorzea, boasting sophisticated technology and a complex ethos that make them the driving force behind cultural progress in Eorzea.

· The Roegadyn – Size Matters – A maritime people possessing muscular builds and unflinching courage

· The Miqo’te – A Tribe of One – A hunting tribe, comparatively few in number, they maintain an insular group mentality, tending to avoid contact with other races.

New information pertaining to the clans within each race has been posted within the “World” tab, under the subhead “Races.” Visitors to the website will also find new information as well as art assets on this subject.

FINAL FANTASY XIV is planned for simultaneous global release in 2010, with language support in Japanese, English, French and German.
