Metal Arcade: Nate Gray writes: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's release is on the horizon, and early indicators have our interest piqued.

Whether Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn can redeem the original release's terrible launch is yet to be seen, but early indicators have our interest piqued.
