Final Fantasy 14 has released a new edition of the game, called the Final Fantasy 14 10th Anniversary Edition. This Final Fantasy 14 release comes with a few extra goodies for new players that may also be worth collecting for long-time fans of the MMORPG.

Final Fantasy 14 is an unusual success story after having floundered through an initially painful launch. All these years later, the game is on the verge of its Dawntrail expansion releasing, which will introduce players to a new region, new playable race, and two new jobs. It's likely that many new fans will be trying out the game for the first time, and this 10th Anniversary Edition may be a good pick for them.

Final Fantasy 14's 10th Anniversary Edition is now available for sale through the official Square Enix shop and limited retailers in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. The special edition comes with the base Starter Edition of the game, which includes the base game, Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn, plus the expansions Heavensward and Stormblood. This version of the game includes a 30-day trial for newcomers, but it's the extra loot that players may be most interested in.

In addition to a digital copy of the game, Final Fantasy 14 10th Anniversary Edition includes a special collector's box celebrating the anniversary, a matching mouse pad, and an in-game item bonus of 50 Buttery Mogbiscuits. These items will be particularly useful for new players, as they offer a 4% EXP bonus for thirty minutes, with no level restrictions on their use. This item was previously only made available through a special code acquired at a ramen restaurant collaborating with the game.

Final Fantasy 14 isn't just receiving a new expansion, but a major overhaul that's going to change the way the game looks and plays. The MMORPG is getting its first major graphical upgrade that will improve textures and lighting. In addition, a number of quality-of-life improvements are being made in Final Fantasy 14, like making it easier to get back to a dungeon fight after losing. Players will also be able to blacklist others, which will stop the offending player from even being seen on the person's screen.

While the developers have said that the female Hrothgar will be the last playable race to be added to the game, the title shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. The developer has already teased the idea of unique future jobs being added to FF14. With tons of existing content and the promise of more in the future, first-time players have plenty to enjoy.

Final Fantasy XIV's original release was less-than-stellar, with many fans blasting the game for its array of issues. This prompted developers to cancel the MMO and rebuild it as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Since then, the title has seen a massive resurgence and has quickly become one of the best MMOs ever made, with hundreds of thousands of subscribers online at any given time.
