Finales can be difficult to pull off, not least when a developer and players don’t want a good thing to end. While any long-running series runs the risk of lapsing into dreary familiarity, Final Fantasy XIV has gone from strength to strength with each expansion. It would perhaps be disingenuous to simply call them expansions: each, from Heavensward to Shadowbringers, has stories, destinations and setpieces to rival any standalone RPG. With Endwalker, then, Square Enix’s Creative Business Unit III pulls out all the stops to give its players the Moon and then some, capping off its long-running story arc with all the grandeur a Final Fantasy game can muster, while leaving the door ajar for more adventures.
