If you own any non-Steam version of current Final Fantasy XIV, which means either PC or PlayStation 4, you can now download Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward for free. Thankfully, they didn't, and you can see that for yourself. Still, despite this turnaround, an MMORPG is only as good as its latest content, and Square Enix could have easily lost their audience with the first expansion titled Heavensward.

Square Enix was forced to tear the game down to its rivets and rebuild it as A Realm Reborn. When the game first released, it crashed and burned, both critically and commercially. There's few stories of death and rebirth in the MMO genre as compelling as Final Fantasy XIV.
