There are some games that never manage to recover from disastrous launches, and are unable to win back players despite massive overhauls and updates. Luckily Square Enix's Final Fantasy 14 was able to overcome its lackluster launch and reinvent itself in version 2.0 a few years after its first release, which was met with a much more positive response from fans and critics. Now, almost nine years after its second lease of life, Final Fantasy 14 is still going strong with a large playerbase and recent updates that are tinkering away at the base game, providing new content for players.
