This game is defunct.
Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Final Fantasy XIV (also known by the acronym "FFXIV" and its patch number, 1.0) is the second installment of the Final Fantasy MMORPG series originally directed by Nobuaki Komoto. The game had numerous issues with lag, server crashes, and bugs, leading to Nobuaki getting kicked out of the team by Square Enix. He was eventually replaced by Naoki Yoshida, who then made the decision to shut down the servers and remake the game into Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

While a few unused models and certain background tracks made their way to A Realm Reborn, everything related to the original XIV and its contents was terminated as of August 27, 2013. There's no way to obtain an official copy of the original XIV other than buying an outdated CD version for Windows from an already existing Legacy player.

Unused Disciplines#

In the files are lists of all of the playable Classes and Jobs, including many that are unused. These can be found at xtx/text_jobName and xtx/text_skillName in Seventh Umbral Workshop. Many of these were revealed in a leak on the now-defunct website FFXIVcore.com in 2010. It is possible that some of these unused disciplines were planned for future patches or potential expansions, but they may have also been scrapped earlier in development and left in the files.

Unused disciplines are shown in Bold for clarity.

Removed Music#

These tracks were used in-game when Final Fantasy XIV existed. However, some of the soundtrack did not get carried over to A Realm Reborn in their original form. Thus they shall never see their original intended purpose again.

Town Music#

Born of the Boughs - Gridania (This was added back in 4.1 in The Aquapolis. as an Orchestrion Roll, but no longer plays in Gridania.)

The Twin Faces of Fate - Ul'dah (This was added in The Lost Canals of Uznair as an Orchestrion Roll, but no longer plays in Ul'dah.)

Normal Battle Themes#

Nail of the Heavens - La Noscea Battle Theme

The Forest's Pulse - The Black Shroud Battle Theme

Leve/Behest Themes#

In the Shadow of the Colossus - La Noscea Leve Battle Theme

Desert Moon Defied - Thanalan Leve Battle Theme

No Quarter - Behests (This was added in 4.25 in Eureka as an Orchestrion Roll.)

Dungeon Themes#

The Seventh Gate

Cutscene Music#

Piece of Mind (There's a track in Heavensward with the same name, but it's completely different.)

From the Heart

Unused Titan Scene#

To do:
Titan's arena and model still exist as of 1.23b, get screenshots of the former.

Titan and Leviathan both were supposed to make their appearances as primal encounters at some point in development. However, neither were never part of the story, as Square Enix felt they would be insensitive due to the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged parts of Japan that same season. A model for Titan, slightly different to his appearance in A Realm Reborn, went unused in the game files.
