It was released worldwide for Windows and PlayStation 3 on 27 August 2013. Support for PlayStation 4 was added on 14 April 2014 and OS X on 23 June 2015.

Story

Hydaelyn─a vibrant planet blessed by the Light of the Crystal.

Amid azure seas, encompassing the westernmost of the Three Great Continents, there lies a realm embraced by gods and forged by heroes. Her name...Eorzea.

It is here that your tale unfolds. Beckoned by the Mothercrystal─the source of all life─you must embark upon a quest to deliver the land from an eternity of Darkness.
